Does anyone other than LG have OLED TVs? If they're as good as everyone says they are, why was LG the only one to have them for so long? Patents?

LG has been doing it for so long they already have production facilities. Samsung made them for about 6 months and then got out of the market. For a while everyone making oled tv's will be buying lg panels.

Well, this little guy will be showing up some time Monday. I was able to get them to give me the black friday price  http://www.bestbuy.com/site/sony-75-class-74-5-diag--led-2160p-smart-3d-4k-ultra-hd-tv-black/2639137.p?id=1219551828395&skuId=2639137

Any recommendations for a 65" tv, used mostly for DVD/Bluray/Netflix Amazon streaming? Only the FireTV and OTA antenna will be connected to it. Budget is around 1300 give or take.

You can snag a 2015 Vizio M65 for $1498 right now, and can probably find it cheaper on BF. Plus, it'll be pretty solid for the price.

You might try to sneak into a 65" Sony x810c if you can find a sale.

Why the heck is it so hard to find HDMI 2.0 cables? Every review on amazon has a few people saying how its not really 2.0 and can't do UHD at 60 Hz.

What's the expected price area for a decent ~50in 1080 TV? Mostly used for watching a Roku and some gaming, but I'm not going to go full sperg on the refresh rate. Good enough is good enough.

Most of my knowledge of LED-LCD TVs comes from computer monitor buying... My general impression is that TV manufacturers fudge their tech spec numbers a bit more. How reliable are, for example, view angle numbers? I'm going to set up a TV in my living room, but I'd like to be able to also watch it from the kitchen, where there will be a pretty steep angle to deal with. Unless I buy one of those wall mounts that can rotate, I guess?

Instead of spending like $30 on some dumb kit for bias lighting I could just tape some USB powered clear Christmas lights to the back of my TV right?

I'm looking into picking up a 55" TV (or something around that size depending on price and bang for buck) for a second living room in a new house.This TV would be my main TV for gaming (Xbox One, possibly PS4 in the future) so all I really care about is having a solid 1080p screen. Would of course also be watching TV and the occasional movie. I don't really care about 4K content. Costco is currently selling a Samsung 55" UN55J620DAFXZA for $549, and as near as I can tell it is pretty much the same model as the UN55J6200 on Amazon currently at $700. At the same time I could go up a couple hundred in price to get a lager set as Costco currently has the Vizio E65-C3 65-Inch at $879 ($948 on Amazon). Anyone have any input on these sets, or alternatives, for 1080p set? I'm keeping my eye for Black Friday sales as well, but with so many sales out there it is hard to pinpoint which set would work for what I'm looking for.

If you can find a good deal on the Sony X810C 55" I highly recommend it. It's great for video games too.

I like bigger tvs so I would get the 65" tv, but it depends entirely on the room. So only you can decide.

sellouts posted:I like bigger tvs so I would get the 65" tv, but it depends entirely on the room. So only you can decide. Honestly I'm sure I'd probably enjoy having a larger TV too. Maybe I'm being too conservative thinking about the space (we haven't moved in yet) and a 65" would fit well. Just found the 60" Vizio E60-C3 on Best Buy for $728 which looks like it would be a good middle of the road option between those other two sizes. One more HDMI input than the Samsung TVs as well.

So I just ordered the 65" LG OLED and I can't seem to find an answer to this question anywhere on the web: Do I need to get something like the FireTV in order to stream 4k Netflix/Amazon content or will the TV be able to do it with the internal Netflix app?

I recently picked up a Sharp 70" (LC-70UE30U) and none of the apps will display video, specifically Netflix and Hulu. There's sound, and the station graphic overlay and ratings overlay appears (Fox logo, adult swim logo, TV 13, etc.) but there's no video playback, just a black screen. Blu-ray player shows picture. Factory reset didn't help. Anyone experience anything like this?

Not earth shattering news, but I just got an email that apparently LG now has "Roku TV's" (as opposed to just TCL). 65" is $999 for a limited time: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/lg-65-c...08339601291218- 55" is $549 for a limited time: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/lg-55-c...08339601291217- Interesting partnership since LG has really done a great job with their integrated systems (and marketed the poo poo out of it).

My father in law is asking if the LG65UF6490 is a good deal for $979 at costco. I told him it seems like a good deal, but that a 1080p vizio for roughly the same price might be a better choice. Reading through the thread is sorta helpful, but is seems like prices and models change weekly.

Zachack posted:Is $1k a good deal? That's what BB/Amazon have it for right now. I want to say that's the lowest it's been but it's still a grand so I hesitate. It might go lower for Xmas/Black Friday maybe? I paid about a grand for mine and after a week and a half I'm really glad I got it.

What is the best way to calibrate the picture on my TV? The only peripheral I use is AppleTV and most guides I see recommend using a Blu Ray or DVD.

Hook a pc up to it and use AVS HD 709. You can do sharpness, brightness, and contrast. You will need a blue gel to do tint or color and a meter to do more advanced 2 and 10pt calibration. http://www.avsforum.com/forum/139-display-calibration/948496-avs-hd-709-blu-ray-mp4-calibration.html

Samsung UN65JS8500 and the Sony XBR-65X850C are pretty much interchangeable and incredible. You're still about a grand short of being able to buy a good 1080p OLED, so don't fret about that.

Vizio M55-C2 55" is $850 on Amazon. Samsung UN55JS8500 is $1500. We're a Samsung house and I'm really trying to convince myself to leap on the Samsung to replace my dead Samsung but everything I'm hearing about the Vizio M, plus that price point, makes it difficult. Is there any reason whatsoever to aim towards the Samsung?
