So realistically how big a difference is there between OLED and LED? Seems a massive difference pricewise when I can get an LG or Vizio 65" 120hz for ~1000 bucks.

Yeah, I'm just having trouble justifying 3k for a 65" OLED when I can get a 75" LED for less than half the price.

The OP is out of date, are there any manufacturers or lines within manufacturers to avoid? Any manufacturers above par?

I snagged this off EBay for $550:

Almost bought the 55� but checked EBay on a lark and they were selling this as a refurb. Hope it�s not complete trash, most of the reviews I read were okay, so yeah.

Hey, do you guys have an opinion on the TCL 65S401? I see rtings has a review of the S405, but it�s my understanding that the S405 isn�t HDR capable while the S401 is.

Is the 65� S401 a good deal at $560?

All the S series do HDR, but they are not bright enough to do Dolby Vision HDR. The S series and C series can.

The panels between the S405 and the S401 Walmart model and S403 Costco model are exactly the same. The S405 has the WiFi/Headphones version of the Roku remote while the S401/S403 has the IR/Basic version. That's it.

I imagine it will be a pretty big jump in quality from a 720p 50� Sanyo plasma from 2008 (that cost a thousand bucks back then).

Blows my mind how cheap TVs are now, even more so if you consider pixels per inch.

The hell is "motion rate" except a deceptive way of making 60Hz TVs look like they're 120Hz?

My dad got a Samsung Q8DT (think it's a Costco Q80T). Reviews said it was 120Hz, but it turns out the 49" model is the one model in the series stuck at 60Hz. Official specs only mentioned the aforementioned motion rate of 120.

Also with a PS5 connected it looks washed out and oversaturated. The HDR doesn't look great, not sure if it's the tv or the config. How do you guys normally go about calibrating displays (if you don't have dedicated tools)?

Remember: marketing is full of poo poo and every maker has bullshit terms to make you think that they have a 120hz refresh rate.

You got taken by the free market, friend. You�re a real American now.

For real though, this is one of those things that should absolutely be required to be specified on spec sheets by law. Hate that poo poo and feel for you, buddy. Happened to me too.

Oh I totally agree. I primarily worked service and retail from 16 until 37. I was forced to find a new industry and landed in manufacturing. It's night and day. And I've advanced multiple times and been commended frequently for the quality of my work.

For content: is OLED looking like it�s going to stick around? It�s been here for what, 5 years now? When can we realistically expect it to be ~$1k for a set equivalent to the CX (4K, OLED, 120hz)?

Apparently since there isn�t a general DVR/streaming media player thread in IYG, I must ask this here now.

Please recommend me a good DVR/streaming media player so we can stop paying Suddenlink every month for our rented TiVo box.

This Amazon Fire TV box appears to be the highest-rated thing on BestBuy.com with 1TB of storage. We don�t watch streaming channels at all; we just need something to pause/rewind/record live TV and maybe get some 4K content.

TVs have streaming software built into them. Take the money you save by getting rid of cable and buy a ridiculously nice TV that has all you want built into it.

If you want live sports, there are apps for that � DVRs aren�t really a thing anymore that I know of beyond what you�ve mentioned.

So my 65� TCL 4series from four years ago has died and it was cheap enough that repairing it doesn�t make sense (and display tech has gotten better and OLED cheaper).

I�ve got a C1 in my bedroom � I�d like to take advantage of pre-super bowl sales and get a top tier OLED at 75-85�. Are any other displays in that same quality range that I should be looking at besides the C1/G1?

Frequenting threads like this makes me question the very nature of the internet forum. OPs quickly become obsolete or ineffective, we need stickies that appear at the top of every page to cut down on "what x should I buy" questions. You can still have the discourse for the more intricate details but the same questions that are asked daily should have their answers provided more readily

This isn't a diss to the poster above, like I said its just the nature of the forum. (yes 3.5mm is aux out, not sure about volume control though, wide angle viewing is blown out of proportion and not much of a real concern, obviously it is active lifetime and no there is no future proofing you should be considering unless you are hardcore into gaming in which case you would probably already know about things like high/variable refresh rates/HDMI 2.1)

Don't be me and miss that in the US the G1 only comes with the mounting bracket and no feet (All reviewers seemed to get the feet included and who reads the box???). I'd rather have it mounted but the location it's being set up can't mount to the wall. Had to pay $100 for the official feet (which were also for the GX) since all other third party feet/stands cost more for an ok substitute might as well get the real thing. Also they are shockingly out of stock everywhere for an optional part, had to get lucky with a local big box that was an hour away.

It doesn't. OLEDs are not dim. OLEDs are brighter than plasma TVs were. In SDR content (as in: all sports) OLEDs are just as bright as LCDs are. The only time OLEDs are dimmer is when comparing peak HDR brightness vs. LCD, and to be honest I can't imagine wanting something brighter than what my OLED can put out.

Our OLED is in a room with a west-facing window and it's fine, even at sunset.

I was surprised as hell at how much brighter my C1s are than my five year old TCL 4 series was.

I figured it would be not great so far as brightness is concerned but the first time I turned our bedroom TV on at night our room lit up.

Side note: I think the coolest non picture feature of new TVs is pairing Bluetooth audio and it actually being in sync

I'm looking for recommendations on a 4K (please talk me out of 8K) TV primarily for gaming (PS5/Switch/PC) in the 60 or 65 inch range. I figure anything good for that would also be plenty good for streaming movies and shows. I'm kind of wary on OLEDs cause of the possibility of burn in but I'm not sure how realistic that possibility is.

Not worried too much about cost, just want something that's high quality and will last.

4K content is barely mainstream and it�s been around for what, nearly ten years? 8K is still a wayyyyy off of anywhere near mainstream adoption. Shoot, isn�t the Super Bowl still in 1080p this year? Video cards can�t push that resolution at playable framerates � the only reason for an 8K TV is to say you have an 8K TV. Which is not a reason to get an 8K TV.

Thank you, I was thinking this but part of my brain went into misguided future-proofing thoughts.

LG C1 looks like it sits low. Are there some good low profile soundbar options or should I just elevate the screen higher? I'm not in a place where I can wall mount.

Also in regards to soundbar, does LG C1 play nice with other brands or am I going to be forced into an LG soundbar?

The mount on the C1 is on the lower third of the TV, it is *not* in the middle of the TV as it is on lots of other models. The VESA mount points are also in a rectangular configuration, like 200x400 (it�s wider than it is long)

I don�t have a sound bar so can�t help you there, but the TV will sit higher versus a center mounted TV if that helps. You�ve got to raise the TV higher to reach the lower VESA mount.

Even LG's own SP11RA sound bar is too tall for the LG C1.. It's just a smidge but it's like a wedge in my eyeball that I can't unsee. A very thin piece of wood shoved under the C1 would fix the issue

Always wall mount if you can because the poo poo looks good (and keeps poo poo out of reach of kids if you have them or have family that brings them over) and running into issues like the above is annoying as gently caress

It is nowhere near as difficult as you think, even with metal studs. Same with patching holes in walls.

Put hole in wall/studs

Cut hole to run cables in top and bottom

Screw mount into wall

Mount TV, plug poo poo in

Are they hard to bend? I have to run it across the length of the tv and then down the wall and some people seem to be worried about strain on the connectors and stuff.

With HDMI 2.1, over 10ft requires an active cable which costs more. Signal degradation grows from there.

I�ve been burnt too many times by whatever procedurally generated company name is selling cables. I�ll gladly pay a premium to know that they weren�t assembled by slave labor and are actually what I paid for. It�s not worth anyone�s time to worry about your cable after you�ve paid for it.

HDMI 2.1 is only good to 3m/9.8ft � after that you get signal degradation. You�d need active cables or a repeater or something to get 25ft with no loss.

The C2 is undoubtedly the king of TVs, especially in that size range, but I've also looked at the significantly cheaper Sony X85J/X85K. 43" is really the maximum I'd consider as any more than that won't fit in my current setup. I really want that native 120HZ so I've more or less ruled out the cheaper LG/Sony offerings

120Hz isn't a mega dealbreaker and I could definitely live with 60Hz if there's a much more cost efficient and good looking option out there. But I got this TCL for almost free and haven't bought a TV on my own since I bought a 27" Westinghouse 720p panel like 13 years ago so I'm a little rusty

I wanted a 42� C2 too until I saw the price vs a 48� C1

tehinternet: Feb 14, 2005; Semantically, "you" is both singular and plural, though syntactically it is always plural. It always takes a verb form that originally marked the word as plural.

Also, there is no plural when the context is an argument with an individual rather than a group. Somfin shouldn't put words in my mouth.

I get that, you work with what you have, not what you wish you had.

Is there a real difference between the C1 and C2? I�ve got a C1 and I�ve got family interested in an OLED � my gut says find a C1 cheap but if the C2 is meaningfully better, now�s the time to get it. I know the C2 has a 42� version but that�s not needed here.
