Yeah you dont wanna be stuck without something like that if you ever need them. What was fun is when our company stopped renting a property and two monitor stands were left behind. I went looking for them and the landlord was like actually we think you guys took some chairs that didn't belong to you.

Transporting an LG C1 flat screenside up in it's original box from the store to home (15-20 minute drive) shouldn't be a problem...should it? I know the ideal is upright but that's not happening in our vehicle. I'm concerned about how thin the TV is and possible screen flex Edit: No longer necessary, Costco added the TV to it's online promo for a cash card.  jisforjosh fucked around with this message at 21:52 on Jun 22, 2022 |

I want to say it should be fine, but if it gets hosed up I don't want you to blame me.

I just transported a 55" C8 that I haphazardly squeezed back into it's original box and then put flat in my car screen side up for a 2-hour car trip and it was fine. Hey, if anything is wrong with it, you can 100% honestly say it was broken when you opened the box.

Got my C1 65” today. This thing rules. I’m watching hockey and its blindingly bright, good lord.

I always assume that if you put it in its proper box it’s likely going to be fine, and it’s suffered worse handling at some point in its life before it ever got to you.

I got the C2 and set it up. Good god it looks amazing. I had high expectations and it beat them. Totally different class of TV. Also protip: Walmart.com did next-day delivery on it.

For all you recent buyers of C1, C2, G2, etc. what's your gray or white color uniformity like? I see quite a bit of discussion about "pink tint" on other forums, which could be a problem with winter sports or B&W content.

I have 48" C1 and the white android install screen is nice and pink on one side and green on the other if watched off center. Just tested with some hockey and it's noticeable, but the field is not uniformly white so not as noticeable as with pure white color.

My 55" C1 is pure white. The white balance was way too cool, even a little green out of the box, but with some tweaking it's now perfect and totally consistent as far as I can tell.

Realistically speaking, when can I expect the price to drop on Sony A80J model TVs? The A80K is out now, I was expecting a fair discount on 2021 A80Js but there has been nothing for almost a whole month.

Just 3 days ago they were on sale for $1,429 on Amazon and 2 weeks ago $1,699 at Best Buy.

I'm from a Middle Eastern country, I can only buy retail here and we don't have Amazon or Best Buy. I was hoping once the new models hit the market, demand for the older ones will drop and I can get a good deal. I did see the price go for $1600 about 3 weeks ago, but figured it was the start of the end and the price would drop further lol, oops I've got no experience in TV prices, I always heard tech depreciates like crazy. I ordered the TV for $2500 last month and then cancelled when I realised I may as well just wait for new models to lower price. The plan hasn't worked out as I'd hoped, but now I've committed long enough to just wait it out whatever happens.

In my experience the price of the outgoing gen depreciates in the lead up the new gens launch, the actual release does not make a big difference as far as deals go as most of the stock is gone by that point. That's Europe tho.

LG was making the panels for all OLED TVs until this year, Samsung would rather have had a diiferent gimmick that looks like OLED on the box from a distance than source from LG. Sony's processors have a fantastic upscaler though, at the cost of higher latency

Loving my C1 but I’m over the speaker quality. Due to the need to move my entertainment unit to get to my cellar hatch, I’d like to upgrade from wired speakers to wireless. Anything to recommend for wireless speakers? I’d prefer bookshelf or wall mounted but I could do floor mounted if that’ll be better.

On a similar note - what's the best bang for buck 3.0 system for great voice/centre channel? I really want to avoid a subwoofer if I can, just looking to purely improve voice clarity in TV and the occasional movie. Edit: don't need HDMI 2.1 or anything, 4k60 is fine for me. It's going on an X90H so I guess eARC and Dolby vision support would be nice. Aware fucked around with this message at 00:51 on Jun 26, 2022 |

I think the default is their AI thingy and it can be weird.

I transported my old 55" C7 wedged into a MINI Cooper horizontally. If it's factory packaged like 80% of the box is rigid styrofoam, it's not gonna do anything to it unless you're so excited to get home that you're drifting corners at 60mph

Don't go all out with your TV dollars and skimp on audio. Higher res, higher refresh etc TVs will render your TV obsolete, quality speakers are for life. And you don't even have to buy new.

Upgraded to a C1 and my KEF Q150s are going nowhere (only running 2.0 because I'm in an apartment and even if I get more space/a house I'll only be adding a subwoofer). 2.0 for life.

If you don't want a sub then floorstanders would get you closer to where you need to be. Take a look at the Elac Debut and the Klipsch Reference and Reference Premier lines? I believe both should be on sale right now.

Stereo rules, no decoding or pass through issues, everything supports 2 channel PCM, almost nobody can position their center speaker properly anyway. Do look into getting a sub though, having lived with both 5.0 and 2.1 the subwoofer adds so much.

I'm pretty sure it was you that got me to ditch my center channel and go stereo and I'll never look back.

On the subject of TV speakers, my Samsung TV had piss poor audio but because I lived in an apartment and am really self conscious about disturbing neighbours, I just lived with it despite having to watch everything with subtitles on. I plan on getting a pair of wireless headphones to watch my new TV (when I eventually get it). Is this going to be comfortable? I'm used to wearing headphones a lot and was going to get a pair of Sony WH-1000XM3. Even though I live alone in a much more sound-proof apartment, I still prefer not making noise.

I love not having neighbors that share walls so I can let the dual subs in my Definitive Technologies towers breath. They are like at 1/4th volume and shake the walls.

I just bought a soundbar (Sonos Arc) to replace my 20 year old 5.1 system and it sounds just about good enough that I'm OK until I get a bigger place. Like it's surprisingly enough base that I don't really miss the subwoofer, not that I could crank it in my condo anyway.

Appreciate the advice but floorstanding speakers are out for the same reason as the sub - no room and also we have a giant lab who will absolutely knock them over even if we did. A soundbar is the only upgrade I can fit but if they're really not worth it I'll just stick with the built in speakers. I'm not looking for loud, just a bump in voice clarity as we use our lounge for watching TV shows 99% of the time and watch a movie maybe once a month.
