Anyone have anything good or bad to say about the 50" Samsung UN50F6300 or the F6300 series in general? It's TV time and after poring over spec sheets for 2012 and 2013 Samsungs, this is the model I've concluded I want. Checked it out in store and it looked alright.

Something Offal posted:I mean, clearly TCL is updating their model basically each year. It's the de facto model to get at the price range. It has lovely vertical banding on a pure grey screen or some sports situations, but the rest of the TV is great. I pulled the trigger on mine. I recently got a PS4 Pro and I'd like to go 4k to get the most out of it. I also like cool and good things for low prices. Cursory research tells me the TCL 55R617 is the way to go?

TCL 55R615 (55R617) is on sale at Best Buy for $550.. do I finally pull the trigger? Reading these complaints online about dirty screens and banding got me shook. Judging by this that's about as low as it's expected to get on Black Friday with the added bonus of not having to fight the consumer hordes Alternately, i can expand the budget a bit and hope for an X900F on Black Friday around 1000-1100 Gray Matter fucked around with this message at 00:01 on Oct 27, 2018 |

Just went to BB tonight to look at these in person. It seemed as though there were jaggies around text on the TCL 6 series 55", enough to turn me off of it. The X900F was hot poo poo though, hoping I can pick one up for 1k on Black Friday and if not the Vizio P55-F1 was a nice runner-up. Despite it's praise as the hot budget tv this year, the TCL really does look like a budget tv.

Went to a different BB location today for another look. The TCL was the only model that was powered off out of dozens of displays on the wall - hmmmmmmmm. After I turned it on it had a much better display demo vid running than the one at the other store. It appeared to be the manufacturer-supplied one, and I didn't notice any of the offputting issues from the demo I saw last night. At the points where the video was almost entirely white, I couldn't see any hint of banding or text artifacting. It actually looked really friggin good. Told them I was ready to purchase and they steered me hard away from it, really trying to push the Sony X900F on me. It's unmistakably a nicer display but it's 236% the price of the TCL and defintely not 236% of the image quality. Thought about it for a brief while and ended up just leaving. Gonna go ahead and grab that TCL off the website instead. Thanks for sense checking me, goons.

It's being delivered from a BB store 5 miles down the road as I understand it, not shipped through UPS or anything. I just couldn't fit it in my car or I'd have bought at the store.

qbert posted:Your experience is basically what people are talking about when they refer to the "TCL lottery". If you end up with a good display, you've just snagged a great deal. If you get a bad one, you're gonna have to play the return/replace game a bit. I would've personally just bought the good one you saw in-store, as at least you know exactly what you're getting.

beep by grandpa posted:What is the response time on the new tv compared to your old one? Rtings says the TCL is 80% Response Time : 6.3 ms 100% Response Time : 12.4 ms. I found some Rtings post saying F6300 input lag is 62.5ms in game mode, but posts elsewhere saying it's 40ms in "PC Mode", which I never knew about or used. Input lag is between 17.8 - 19.6ms for the new TCL, depending on resolution. Either way, the difference in input lag between the two is highly obvious when playing.

ChocNitty posted:Whats currently the best TV for gaming for no more than $800? The Vizio did look a bit more impressive in the store than the TCL, but I've also heard their 55" P series is not as good as their 65" due to the 55 having significantly fewer dimming zones. It's also ~$200 more than the TCL. You really have to take a look in-person to make a decision. Gray Matter fucked around with this message at 03:31 on Nov 3, 2018 |

CordlessPen posted:Does anyone have any experience with the TCL 6 series? It seems to be getting pretty great reviews, especially for the price, and it seems too good to be true. If I decided to get a new TV, it'D be mainly for HDR gaming on the PS4, so that would be the main criterion. My single small complaint about mine is that if you look for it, the corners are slightly darker compared to the rest of the screen but it's not something I ever notice or am bothered by while gaming. A+ would buy again

Not a Children posted:I'm giving serious consideration to the TCL 55". How precarious is the panel lottery? If may have to try 5 different units before I get an acceptable one (and hey, I'm not really picky but I gotta see what's on the screen), I'll just eat the extra cost to get a brand with tighter tolerances.
