OLED, QLED and other TVs - Recommendations and News

I was walking around the Domain in Austin last week and my son saw a lady with one on the sidewalk. He was freaking out wondering where she got it and curious if they had more.

Anyways since it is so easy, please provide a link for purchase @tinman my kiddo would consider you a hero.

hmmm

 

They can't even find lowly Qled, gotta settle for poo-led.

 

Nice. I think I'd probably still go with the previous Costco deal, though for the "extra" 4-year warranty and ease of return if something goes wrong although the Costco warranty doesn't cover burn-in. Best Buy's does, though, I think. That, and if something goes wrong, I can just take it down the road. lol. They also throw in streaming deals if you're into that.

I also think I'm leaning to the C1 over the A80J, though either one would do for my use, I think.

 

What's your price range? Apps like offer up have PS5 combos for a premium. I was able to get one, but I barely use it (< 5hrs) now... life got busy =/.

 

Yeah, I have seen those. Sometimes the premium is not too bad either.

I'm a single parent these days and work part-time while in school so it's retail or nothing for me. My son really wants one but he is not petulant about it and knows eventually he will get one.

The thing I was thinking about is... it seems to me these retail stores could have used technology if they really wanted to have normal customers purchase ps5's instead of scalpers. I presume it is not in their best interests though. Sucks

 

What do you guys think about the qn90a from Samsung. I saw it several times at Best Buy. The picture is really nice and the dark scenes is pretty stellar for and LCD. I was thinking of getting a 85 inch qn90a for my living room. It doesn't have a lot of windows, but I figure the bigger tv compared to a 77 inch OLED will be more immersive for gaming and movies. The only downside is x1 hdmi 2.1. Maybe I can circumvent this problem by getting an hdmi switch or a receiver? I know the 2021 receiver should be better than the 2020 with the whole hdmi 2.1 fiasco.

 

LCD is a great choice for the blind. @tinman

 

Samsung doesn't have Dolby Vision
That's basically like watching an overhead projector

 

what about LG GX 77 inch? Is the c1 that much better or can I save about $500 bucks from the C1.

 

The GX is a great tv . It’s the thinnest tv so it’s flush against the wall.
It’s player

 

When in doubt - Vincent Teoh.

 

The GX is a flat/picture frame tv. The C1 isn't. Did you mean G1 vs. GX? Or C1 vs. CX? Or maybe you really did mean GX vs. C1?
The GX is meant to be wall-mounted, and I don't think it comes with a stand, so if you aren't going to wall-mount it, consider that you'll have to get a stand for it.

GX/G1 : picture frame tv's meant to be mounted on walls like pictures (and display art)
C1/CX : "normal" tv that can be mounted on a wall or set on a stand.

Otherwise, flip a coin. Unless people point things out to you in a side-by-side comparison, you probably wouldn't notice much of a difference among all these. If you're like most people it'll be a case of "hey, that one looks pretty good... and .... so does that one... "

 

Yes I meant GX vs c1. I know the Gx is a flatter screen meant for mounting on the wall as well as the atsc 3.0 tuner. There are so many choices! The a80j is nice as well. I don't know if the 85 will be much more immersive. I'm just afraid of burn in because I fall asleep sometime watching tv. I know they will be a huge improvement over my current 65 inch 1080p Sony.

 

Most people end up comparing the A80J with the C1 since they're direct competitors with common features/uses. Rtings.com, I think, were the ones that thought the C1 was better for gaming and the A80J for movies. I'm going to get a 65" C1 more than likely even though I'll be watching movies on it more than anything probably.

 

fallen asleep many times bro. There's many failsafe things that work.
no issues.

there's a better chance you win Squid Game than get burn in on OLED

 

The Muppet's Haunted Mansion looks dope on OLED @tinman The way BRIGHT-brights shine through RIGHT NEXT to dark, perfectly black pixels, it's beautiful. It's.... HAUNTING.

 

Nintendo just put out an OLED switch

there's a reason for that

OLED is king

 

QLED being brighter doesn't mean anything. It's like saying a BMW is louder than a TSLA. How bright do you ****ing need something to be lol? Are you mole? What OLED does that QLED cannot hold a candle to that involves brightness, is display BRIGHT colors (like the sun) RIGHT UP against dark pixels. The result is a stunning image. If you have a gripe it should be about something like motion-handling, not brightness. Any TV can produce sufficient levels of brightness. I have a bright plasma from 2007. Who cares?
