prom candy posted:The blacks on my current TV are god awful and everything has this washed out look. It also has terrible viewing angles and input lag. I had a plasma from 2008 before this and even though it was only 720p and had huge 2000s bezels it was way better. An OLED is going to be a massive improvement over any other current technology for contrast and viewing angle. I personally skipped the plasma generation so I can't make a comparison, but I've heard more than one person say that a new OLED is the first tv they've liked since their plasma. It's definitely a luxury price and I would never tell someone to overextend their finances for a television, but the difference is remarkable.

Got a question about indoor TV antennas. Are they essentially all the same or are some better than others? Amazon has tons but I honestly don't know what's junk or not. I have one that will only get a few channels unless I readjust the placement then it will get another set of channels. Do I need one that has a booster? We are about 30 miles from a major downtown.

120hz means you don’t have 3/2 pull down on 24fps content, resulting in smoother panning shots. It’ll be occasionally noticeable. Some new console titles are also supporting a 40fps mode between the 30fps “performance” and 60fps “quality” modes which looks to be a great compromise between the two. You can only use it on a 120hz panel. It allows for a better black frame insertion implementation as well. All nice features to have. Also, the x90j is almost definitely worth the extra scratch over the x85j for local dimming alone, not to mention the updated processor.

If the TV supports VRR there's a good chance the film mode uses it for 60hz panels to drop to 48fps

Been enjoying my C1 and wound up picking up a Apple TV 4K as I was having issues with the built in Plex app playing 4K videos. No big deal everything is great now. Question is this. Series X and Apple TV 4K are hooked up to the Denon receiver which then from there to the C1 into the eArc port. Is there a way using the LG magic remote to change inputs on the receiver? The remote controls the Apple TV just fine but if I want to play Xbox I have to manually change the receiver input. Or is there a way to configure the receiver to detect when the Xbox gets turned on and change automatically to that input?

If you enable CEC in the Xbox settings app, it should be able to switch the input. Or at least it does on my Sony AVR, I’d assume the Denon should work similarly but CEC is often wonky.

I think TVs have landed all the features I’ve been waiting (years!) for, and there’s no tech upgrades I can see on the horizon that are crucial - the C1 has 120hz, VRR, minimal latency, so that’s the next 5ish years of game tech covered. And OLED seems mature enough to make that jump. The other question is timing. I charted the CX’ price over time and it confirmed my model of season price changes each year - it’s probably about as low as it will go until around the super bowl where they may be a touch hard to find as they sell out to prep for the 22 models in March/April. Those new models will probably be about a 1/3 higher in price, same as the C1 price at launch. Is there anything I’m missing? I don’t mind waiting 4 or 6 or whatever months, but I wanted to check if my read that there’s unlikely to be anything worth waiting for (with a decent price/value) seems reasonable. Making the decision easier is that I have $200 in amazon credit and the 5% card, as well as a couple of hundred each in expense reimbursement and sacks of quarters to cushion the blow so it won’t end up at twice as much as I’ve ever paid for a tv. I’m nearly locked in to just do it but thought a little feedback might be smart first for a decent sized purchase.

Well poo poo, good enough for me. I went to buy it and freaked out because the page I found was not delivered by amazon and was $60 more, but then I stumbled on the right listing. Somehow in the past couple of hours delivery went from a week from now to Tuesday, which I’m gonna take as a sign. Purchased! Might be even better than I thought, the order page mentioned that it might qualify for an extra 5% back too. Let’s see how this goes.

Dog chewed up the TV remote last week. TCL Roku TV. I never liked the remote, functionally its fine but it looks like its meant for one of those kids tablets whos name is eluding me at the moment. Anything worthwhile I should consider before I buy a straight up OEM replacement? Not interested in some god drat harmony claptrap

It's decent but IR only for Roku TVs and is really clicky and takes an effort to push the buttons. Enough that, when I finally replaced my remote with the OEM one a week ago, my arms could immediately feel the difference. There is a sofa baton x1 coming out but it's more expensive.

Oh and the 2016 Sony 930D 55" was supposed to be dead already - but still looks great (but has that fatal super high input lag). It's being moved to the Master Bedroom position.

I got mine like 3 weeks ago, literally the last one they had sitting on the pallet, and when I was at Costco this weekend they've completely removed the on shelf display and it's as if it never existed lol.

How much should I care about a receiver? I got a Pioneer VSX-832 in 2018 mostly because the Vizio 4K tv I bought the year before only had one hdmi input with all the goodies so I routed all inputs into the receiver and then just ran one hdmi from receiver to the tv. The C1 that’s coming tomorrow has all 4 ports as 2.1 so I should be fine just hooking everything up to the tv, right.? I only have a 5.1 system and I’ve only had all speakers in use for the past 5-6 months at my new place. Mostly concerned about terrible audio delay or something. The Pioneer receiver doesn’t have eARC but supports most everything else.

Any of your sources that go above 4k60 would need to go straight to the tv with a new 2.1 cable, normal 4k sources can still go through your receiver if you want but would work either way. Without eARC you can use an optical cable to carry audio from tv to your Pioneer.

Those are nice because they use wifi instead of IR. The voice functions/private listening features I found less useful but you may like them.

My sister's TV (a Sony X900F) no longer responds to the Sony remote. She's replaced the batteries, and confirmed that the TV turns on with the built-in power button. I've advised her to contact Sony about getting a replacement remote, but just checking here for any other ideas.

Then plug it back in and try it. I've seen that fix some weird issues before.

Got my C1 today. There is no reason for a tv to be this thin. Feels like it's going to snap! My wall mount is a monoprice low profile mount that I bought 13 years ago. I found the shipping email and it says "(Max 165Lbs, 37~63inch)". My new tv is 65", is this going to be a problem for the mount? I'm assuming that back in 2009 they just couldn't conceive of a 65" TV that would be light enough for this wall mount? The other problem is that one of the screws holding the bracket to my old TV is stripped so that's going to be a fun problem to solve. Also apparently this wall mount that has served me well since January 2009 was only $18!

I recently composed all my loose screws and other junk left over from TV mounts and such into a compartmentalized container I got at dollarama. I actually ended up using some of those long bolts for the TV to widen out the arms on my Markus chair. I wouldn't worry about the mount, the TV obv isn't anywhere near that weight limit.

Oh yeah the issue isn't the bolt, it's that the bracket that I need for the new tv is stuck on the old tv with a stripped screw. I ordered some screw extractor drill bits so hopefully I can get it off without breaking the old TV. The compartmentalized container is a good idea. Like a good computer toucher all my old cables are well organized but my tools and hardware for around the house poo poo are just a mess.

Trying to keep around $1k CAD for a 55" TV since mine just died, and while there are numerous 120hz 4K displays out there, RTings reviews often remark on this:Review pf Hisense U7G posted:
Is this actually common - 4k/120 not really 4K 120? The TCL 646 doesn't seem to have this problem, but it's sold out of course and no idea when it will be restocked. RTings seems pretty recent on their updates with this but I'm wondering how in the hell they can say "4k/120" when it's interlaced. Also looking at the Samsung Q70A which looks like it has a 'real' 4K/120 - but goddamn, that single HDMI 2.1 port. 😡 Happy_Misanthrope fucked around with this message at 19:53 on Nov 30, 2021 |

The X90H series from Sony has the same issue despite being advertised as PS5 ready. It's a chipset limitation as best anyone knows. X90J has full 4k120 support. It's not that noticeable in games so if you're a console gamer you may not mind, but it's very noticeable from a PC source doing anything else.

Can I ask why people are running their video signals through an HD receiver? I used to do that but I found it just ended up introducing more input lag. For years now I've just run everything direct to TV and then optical audio out to my receiver. Are there benefits to going through the receiver now that maybe didn't exist when I last played with this 8-ish years ago?LorneReams posted:I currently have a 65in mounted on a mount that states max 55in.
