Number_6 posted:It still bugs me that LG has trouble manufacturing OLED panels with really clean uniformity. Some have near-black uniformity problems, but what bothers me even more is the magenta and/or yellow tinting that a lot of them have. It really shows up on a scene with snow or sand, or on black-and-white programming. the banding is really noticeable too and none of the reviews/analyses ever mentioned it i splurged on one of these with my covidbux and while the blacks are nice i hate, hate uniformity issues and it has both that faint grid pattern in light/bright colors and vertical banding in near-black ones

Got my Sony A8H today and I am shook. I didn't think there would be that big a difference from a B6 or C7 but OLED has actually come quite far in the past few years. Excellent uniformity, vastly improved motion handling, superior brightness, the works. No real banding I can see, even on a gray test. I am very, very happy.

Three Olives posted:My point is, if paying $800 more for deep blacks and lower peak brightness is worth it to you or you are so wealthy that $800 is just meaningless, by all means buy a OLED TV, buy the LG rollable one that just went on sale for $87,000, whatever. Ah yes my eyes will vastly evolve in the next 5 years to make this TV obsolete. Like no poo poo there will be improvements, but they are getting incremental and not massive like 480->1080->4k->etc. A 4 year old OLED is out of date? Thats bullshit.

What are you guys doing with your old TVs? I'm going to get an OLED to replace my LED, but I only have one place in my house for TVs this big. How's the used 1080 LED market on Craig's List?

How do you price a TV that's over 8 years old? I have a 60" Panasonic Viera and it's hard to figure what it would be worth when it lacks so many of the features that new TVs come with now. What are good options for donations? I'm wondering if there are any places that would need a donation but folks don't often think about.

Just hop on wherever you are planning on selling it and look for comparable sets. Ebay also has a "sold" filter but with TVs it's tough because you're looking at wither local pickup or shipping options.

I gave my old Panasonic plasma to an employee of mine who's just got his own place. Also got a once-top-notch 720p Pioneer Kuro that I think my wife is going to take to use at work.

I have a television in the room adjacent to my PC. I may be able to run a long hdmi into it but I was wondering if there was another low latency, low performance cost solution to mirror my desktop onto this tv. I want my whole desktop mirrored, not just certain things like movies. Would a roku tv support this?\ edit: I solved my own issue: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B081KTBM1C/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Skyarb fucked around with this message at 19:36 on Oct 24, 2020 |

Oh man, the Panasonic chips that literally every receiver manufacturer is using for HDMI 2.1 support have a hardware defect that prevents 4k120 and 8k60 from being displayed at all. quote:As c’t reports in the current issue of c’t 23/2020, a suspected breakdown of the chip manufacturer Panasonic Solutions (meanwhile taken over by Nuvoton Technology) ensures that, according to the current state of knowledge, all HDMI 2.1-compatible receivers from Denon, Marantz and Yamaha are not able to transfer videos in these ultra-high resolutions to the TV without errors with certain players. The TV screen then remains black due to the HDMI 2.1 glitch.

Wow, that sucks to say the least. I have one of the new HDMI 2.1 Denons the x4700h . Wonder how the manufacturers/vendors will respond to this. I wonder also why the article seems to imply the issue may not be there with the PS5.

so my fios box updated recently. i guess everyone got that. in any case, it now tells me if there's a 4k version of the program i'm watching. i tried it out, and it seems 4k is insanely dark. it looks clearer, sure, but it's way darker than my normal mode. any idea what this is? a cable issue? my tv?

In three days, a 65” CX will be mine. This corrects my mistake from about a year and a half ago, where I settled for a 55” OLED. I really appreciate this second chance.

Island Nation posted:Since I plan to get the CX from Costco, this sounds like a good idea. At least I have a spare optical cable If you can get a Soundbar, check if it has an option for HDMI. A HDMI cable produces better sound than an optical cable. (Or at least my PS4 tells me that I have the option for better quality sound when I use a HDMI.)

I know OLEDs have the better picture quality, but as someone who likes to have the news channels in the background, the burn in issue is a deal breaker. I may revisit in a few years once they've fixed that issue. If it is fixable to begin with. The TV guy at Best Buy told me OLEDs will always have issues with burn ins due to how the technology works, but that for most people it's worth the tradeoff for better quality

There can be differential aging, but it's only now just STARTING to show up very very very faintly in slides after 122 weeks on the rtings torture tests. As for news networks, I will never understand the wanting of people to transform their living space into the gate area of your local airport.

I mean, that seems like potentially a big deal and something that Greentoe should compensate you for. Especially since they tout that your sale will be from a reputable dealer with a full warranty.
