Are there any good 40" 4K+HDR screens? The current best one seems to be the Sony XBR-43X800D but that's only 60Hz. Does that really matter anymore? I kind of want to get the Samsung Serif but I know it doesn't have a great display, also it's $1400 for 40" but it would go so well with my place. Why won't LG make 40" OLED displays!?!

Twerk from Home posted:40" is way too small for 4K to have any benefit at all, unless you're sitting at monitor-style distances. Most of the TV manufacturers have stopped putting any effort into 40" displays, and will just use it as a dumping ground for years old tech built at the lowest prices possible. That sucks since anything bigger would completely overtake my space. The joys of living in a tiny apartment in the city. I'm currently sitting around 6' from the tv which is a 32".

Plus the Sony OLEDs are going to be in their premium tier so they can do cool stuff like have no bezel and build the speakers into the screen so they'll be priced accordingly.

Not gonna lie, the Sony OLED is pretty drat sexy. The new Samsung "Lifestyle TV" Frame looks pretty cool too since it would go really well with all the art on my wall, sadly it's probably going to end up being a substandard screen like the Serif had. https://www.fastcodesign.com/3068932/wanted/samsungs-new-tv-by-yves-behar-is-a-framed-piece-of-art-literally

FBS posted:As it happens, I brought the X930E home on Monday. Best Buy didn't have one on display and the sales kid thought it was discontinued and was shocked to find one in the back. He spoke quote highly of it while ringing me up, even compared to the X900F. I love my 930E, but I've had some issues with the hardware. The logic board failed and they sent me an extra power supply which did nothing, I had to eventually get home service from Sony to get it replaced. A few months later my tv didn't turn on again and but luckily the extra power supply worked. If anything else happens I hope it's before January when my Sony warranty runs out. https://www.tomsguide.com/us/sony-tv-settings-guide,review-5605-11.html Mess around with a few of those settings so the AndroidTV isn't as bloated. And if you happen to use VUDU (you should totally get a Movies Anywhere account) the built in app doesn't support 4K or Dolby Vision so download the one from the Google Store which does (and now you'll have two versions of VUDU since you can't uninstall the one that comes with the system).

Wow, the military exchange webstore had 65in 950Gs for $800 and 65in A9Gs for $1800. Had I caught either of them before they sold out I would have been all over them even though my current tv is only 3 years old.

I ended up having to use my Sony warranty in the first year for my x930e, first the tv wouldn't turn on so I got a replacement power brick and then it kept happening with the new power brick until my tv just wouldn't turn on, I had to have the board replaced. My issue is that that replacement bpard messed with my default settings so the Cinema Pro or Expert settings were way too brown and would have benefited from calibration, but it really didn't make sense to spend an extra $500 which was half what I paid for the tv at the time. Anyway, warranties aren't that bad, you never know when you'll use them. Animale fucked around with this message at 00:45 on Jun 3, 2021 |

We just bought a 32" TCL since the lady friend wanted a tv we could easily carry outside to watch Ted Lasso as we ate dinner (my Sony from 2017 doesn't do Apple and the side loaded app version is super buggy). There's a 720P version and a 1080P version, the lady friend asked me about this and we got the 1080p version from a semi-local Best Buy we visited after a hike, as to make the transaction not feel as dirty.

Space Racist posted:It’s that time of year again, when LG OLEDs go on sale and I tempt myself with questionable financial decisions. I have a Sony 930e which is from the same year and much better than your current tv. Basically if you're going to notice the change in size from your current sitting spot and if you're going to do gaming using one of the newer consoles you should totally upgrade, if not, don't worry about it.

, trying to spend $1000 or less on a 65” 4K. I don’t think I need (read: can afford) OLED, and I don’t watch sports or own a PS5, so 60Hz is probably fine. Honestly 4K seems extravagant at this point, but I’m sure we’ll pick up a 4K AppleTV or something soon. Unfortunately the TV is staying above the fireplace, which is at the correct height if you’re standing up, and we don’t have room up there for a 70”+.

arsegrit posted:My TV died, replaced it with a 4k one. Everything's wired up though an AVR that doesn't support 4k. Because the TV is 4k, every device plugged into the AVR is told that it can support 4k (via EDID I assume), which is not true and just results in a black screen unless I force the resolution lower. Which can be challenging when I can't actually see anything. How many 4k devices are you plugging in to your receiver? At this point the easiest thing would probably be to plug the 4k items to the tv and route the audio to the receiver. For any non-4k devices, make sure the video is just passthrough so the receiver isn't trying to upconvert something it can't obviously do, and you can have the tv do any upconversion since TV's are much better at that than receivers in the first place.

Mister Facetious posted:They've changed it so now there's HDMI 2.1 (which is the same as HDMI 2.0), and now there's "HDMI 2.1 with 48gbps", or "HDMI 2.1 with VRR and ALLM", or "HDMI 2.1 with *insert a la carte feature combo here*". Eh, base HDMI 2.1 is 32 or 40 gbps which still transmits more data than the 18 gbps 2.0 maxes out at so you get that increased chroma subsampling which I guess does something?

If you're getting a 32" tv, you won't notice the 4k resolution unless you're a foot away from it. Just get the 1080p TCL and make sure you limit the ad tracking.

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?

When I got my Sony x930e I got a lemon, within the year warranty period it wouldn't turn on so they originally sent me a new power supply. It worked for a while but then it wouldn't turn on again and I had two functional power supplies, so they sent a tech to replace the main board. They replaced the board but this meant the set was no longer factory calibrated so I have to use slightly weirder settings than most other folks (my expert settings are very yellow by default and warm and cool settings look the same). But I still use it as my main tv 4 years later.
