Yeah my PS5 is just fine and looks great, but Dolby Vision is only available on it for apps and not for discs. A stand-alone player would be a luxury for a few small perks which is why I’d rather not pay full boat

Gemini Man isn’t that bad and is probably the only thing out there to use high frame rate in a cool, interesting way. Ang Lee also did Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk which is the only other high frame rate movie I’d recommend but it’s really not for everyone

FWIW it might just take some getting used to. My A80J still mostly feels dim compared to my old TCL 6 Series, but when it looks great it looks terrific. You want a premium-priced TV to totally wow you and give you best-in-class everything and that has unfortunately not been my experience. The new TV takes a lot more futzing around with settings to get the ideal picture on every input and video source. I'd give it a few more days of tinkering if you're still within the return window

Jenny Agutter posted:I’m in a temporary furnished rental which means using the tv built in apps and such and it has made me realize what poo poo modern tvs are, it’s some sort of Sony with android as the software. I may want to get a new tv when I buy a place soon, what tvs have the absolute fastest ui for settings? I’ll never use built in apps but even this several seconds of lag just to get into the settings dialogue is dire. Even better, what tvs start from standby/powered off the fastest? Not sure if anyone out there tracks this, but the new Google TV UI on the most recent Sonys is pretty snappy for me. The Roku TVs I've had were also fine and in line with my experience using standard Roku devices

The issue with VRR was patched and works fine now, though it takes a little bit more menuing than is ideal. It doesn't have some of the bells and whistles that LG's OLEDs do but in terms of function it's more or less on par

Shimrra Jamaane posted:It just seems to be a reoccurring theme in video reviews that Sony TVs require more loving around to calibrate gaming properly. Everyone says get a Samsung or LG but I hate the new Tizen using it at the store and also I want Dolby vision. I also want a mini-LED and LG only has one 2022 model out and it’s their mid range one. No X95K equivalent yet. The biggest annoyance (that I've noticed) is that you need to toggle Dolby Vision and VRR on the TV side of things if you plan on using a console for 4K disc playback. Other than that just slap it into Game mode and you should be set If you're not getting an OLED I don't know that most people would recommend a Samsung or LG over a Sony, though, unless cost is your main driver

Vintersorg posted:It happens during dark scenes of shows. Recently House of Dragons on HBO has triggered it with it's nighttime scenes and making things unwatchable. Part of it is the people making it master it on $30,000+ monitors and not accounting for consumer grade stuff but the other side of the coin is OLED's dimdown cause of burn in potential. I watched a few GoT episodes recently and even though they're both in DV the new show is just unwatchably dark in comparison, it sucks

You’d likely be just fine with a TCL 5 or 6, or a Hisense U7H or U8H. Just scout for deals on the size you want in your price range. The 6 series and U8H will have slightly more bells and whistles.

I'd start with the Rtings settings then just adjust to what looks good to you. Part of the joy of high-end electronics is fiddling with it endlessly

Ryuga Death posted:I'm just so worried I'm going to destroy something or make the picture quality look like total crap due to my meddling. What does sharpness actually do? Is it just the tv version of Anti-Aliasing? In the absolute worst case you can always restore to factory settings. Here's a detailed explainer on sharpness but it basically just give elements outlined edges on the screen  Ryuga Death posted:Honestly, I don't fully understand what any of the Dolby or HDR/SDR stuff is and how that kicks in when I'm watching stuff. I'm still worried about burn in even though it's apparently a non issue for the most part. I shouldn't be manually running pixel cleaning, right? Dolby Vision essentially auto-corrects your picture settings to the creator's intent, though it's only available on some content / streaming services. HDR is just an industry standard that allows a tv to display brighter brights and improve contrast. If you're concerned with burn-in it's possible that leaving the picture brightness on the lower end will help but it's largely (in theory) not a concern any more. Ryuga Death posted:Should I be happy with the included tv apps? I only ask cause I've heard about fire sticks or chromecast so often over the years. I mainly only use youtube and prime video. The only one that seemed sort of interesting was Nvidia shield pro but only cause I wanted to send whatever I'm playing on my PC to the tv so others could see without having to huddle around my desktop. I'd just use the included apps for now and if performance is an issue you can look at other options morestuff fucked around with this message at 17:52 on Dec 14, 2022 |

The Question IRL posted:So confession. It affects everything but if you keep video settings for your PS5 in Game Mode it may automatically disable motion smoothing. Might be worth disabling to see if you like the picture better but if you prefer it well it’s your TV

Google TVs as of 2021 have "Basic Mode" available which turns your set into a dumb tv, if you feel like replacing your expensive fancy one

You might want to mess around with the CEC settings, that way it auto-selects the input when you turn the game system on. Would at least simplify part of it

I never thought I’d be that guy but the motion smoothing on my Sony OLED is good and subtle enough that I leave it on low for most video. Every now and then I’ll switch over to Cinema mode if it doesn’t look right but for the most part I don’t need to

codo27 posted:I cant believe no ones kickstartered a dumb TV with a slot you can insert some kinda open sourced processing module into that can be easily replaced when need be. I suppose getting the panels wouldn't be easy when the whole purpose of this project would be to subvert smart TV advertisements and associated fuckery. Also barely anyone cares You can run any sets using Google TV (including Sony OLEDs) in basic mode which deactivates the smart features

Worth pointing out that they did a refresh on the 700 at some point — not sure which one Vader has but I haven’t had the mentioned issue with the newer model. Biggest issue is a sluggish UI and that it doesn’t seem to remember where I stopped in a movie if I turn it off halfway through.
