BonoMan posted:Yeah since we're less than a month away, this is the rare time it's ok to say it's fine to wait. My 65" C9 is awesome for the 0-60m a day I get to watch it w/ a almost 3 month old + 3 year old. We just watched endgame for the first time over the course of 3 nights in all of its UHD/HDR glory and it looked great. Just do it. Don't put a TV in your bedroom. Practice good sleep hygiene. Screw waiting for black Friday and hoping you get a factory reject special.

Do good TVs actually go on sale on Black Friday? Isn't it just $100 Sanyo poo poo and then a bad Samsung that normal consumers don't know is bad for 799? You can already get a C9 for 1000/1600. I don't see them going any lower than that until next Feb.

Some retailers have decent deals, the BF exclusive panels usually suck yes. But Rakuten does some really good points back deals on BF so it just makes sense for me to wait and get 20% back to spend on something else.

Yeah the doorbusters for the people who camp out are famously cheap and bad but a lot of the old rules of Black Friday no longer hold true, any product might get discounted at any time

Are you looking for anything in particular? It's bewildering. Just perennially window shopping until you're dead? (Which could statistically occur before CES January by the way! We are delicate sacks of carbon. water and bacteria hurtling through space!) It's just such a weird thought loop. "Why enjoy today what you can enjoy tomorrow?". Hey man think how good the prices will be Black Friday 2021! Better hold onto that money!!! Like imagine when Micro LED TVs cost $1000 in 2023. That alone means you should never buy anything, ever.

Costco Black Friday ad is up. The 2018 65R613 will be $599. Looks like their buyers saw the error of their ways and have picked up the Vizio M658-G1 instead of the mediocre M657 they initially stocked. It will also be $599 on Cyber Monday. https://www.costcoinsider.com/costco-black-friday-2019-ad/#coupon-book

FlamingLiberal posted:My concern is this is online so there is not going to be a pickup option, and i see a lot of reports from the Amazon review for that TV that the TVs they have received are coming in broken because they seem fragile I see this as a positive. Screw me snapping it in my own car. Some poor schmuck delivers it to my living room, opens it, plugs it in, and if it's shattered takes it away again. Well worth it in my book not to have to take it back to wherever and deal with their smug looks as they tell me that me destroying the TV isn't their problem.

VIZIO P-Series® Quantum X 65” Class 4K HDR Smart TV - PX65-G $979 at Sam's Club on 11/09/19 One of the other Costco deals is the 65" Vizio V series for $399. I think it is pretty similar quality for the TCL 4 series (someone correct me if you find reviews saying otherwise), and I think that's the least expensive I've seen a 65" sell for.

I recently moved and now I'm looking for a wall mount for this TV: https://www.lg.com/us/tvs/lg-55EG9100-oled-tv It seems the LG branded wall mount is discontinued.

EAT FASTER!!!!!! posted:LG OLED C9 77" for $4949 for Costco Black Friday. The 77 inch C9 is so beautiful, however given the upcoming cost reductions promised in upcoming OLED tech I would probably wait on the 77 inch unless money is no object. In which case buy it, because it is an absolute sight to behold. Taima fucked around with this message at 20:58 on Oct 30, 2019 |

You should peep that dude's posting history though, it's a trip. He's one of those guys that judges himself and others by the number in their brokerage account, hence his smarmy comment about how good skinny feels. Money is great, financial solvency and long term saving is a wonderful and worthy goal. Money helps us and those we love live better lives. However, viewing accumulated money like a dragon sitting on a pile of gold, for it's own sake, is mentally poisonous and says a lot about that person. It's just a depressing way to live. Living in Silicon Valley I see this a lot. People like him do spend money on certain things but it's usually outwardly facing status symbols. Houses, cars. Clothes. All fine purchases, but the overall goal is to project a superficial veneer of success. A $2,000 TV doesn't really figure into that game plan, which is why he's waffling for years about it. Don't get me wrong I'm a smarmy Silicon Valley douche, it takes one to know one, but he's just a whole other level.

Just an observation! Don't worry, I'm done  sorry. The musings of a douchebag, if you will. e: By the way the new 88 inch LG OLED dropped a second ago. It has a crazy built in sound system that reminds me of the Dyson fans.

Very quick question: Is burn in a bigger issue on OLED than it is on Plasma? I want to replace my Panasonic ST-30 (I think) from 2011 when LG releases the 48” OLEDs next year. I have never had an issue with burn in on it because I have auto-off after 4 hours of inactivity and never play video games for longer than 3-4 hours at a time.

Burn in is cumulative on OLEDs which means it's inevitable. Newer sets have methods of detecting problem areas and shifting pixels to reduce the effect but if you watch the same thing for 300 hours you'll get burn in, regardless of if it's 300 hours in a row or 300 1-hour sessions over the course of a year.

It does, but then my C6 has no issues at all and it’s left on all the time by my wife and kid so that includes Xbox / switch games being left on the screen without movement. It’s power on time has to be really high compared to others from that year, I’ll edit this post when I get a chance to look tonight. I’m not saying it isn’t something to consider, but I haven’t had the issue personally and I definitely don’t do anything to help mitigate the issue. I really don’t know what to make of the issue to be honest.
