That resultion vs. distance chart is BS and always has been and was originally created so AVS plasma fanboys could win arguments over people getting 1080P LCDs.

I'm looking at 55" Sonys right now, the W950 is down to under a grand and seems like a smart bet, their 2015 models are all androided up and I have zero need for a smart TV, [or speakers or even flexible input] all I really need is a panel I can make look as good as possible. Thoughts? I'm open to non-Sony models but they have to have a competent HDMI-CEC setup because I finally have it all working correctly.

In recent stuff I've read UHD Blu Ray will support both Dolby VIsion and one developed by the standards peoplequote:HDR pictures can be delivered in one of two ways: either using the BDA-developed “BD HDR” section of the new specification, or via compatible HDR formats such as Dolby Vision.

EL BROMANCE posted:Depending on what he uses the TV for, and his viewing distance. I don't want to go into a full-on rant but resolution-chart.png is and always has been bullshit, it's trivially easy to tell the difference between 720, 1080 and even 4k at 10 foot+ distances depending on the images on the screen. Whether or not it's worth the difference to any one individual is a separate issue.

AU/CA might be Australian/Canadian model? Not sure if there's any real difference between those models and the US one. Either way I'd put that solidly in the "suspiciously cheap" category.

EL BROMANCE posted:That doesn't really make sense... Australia is 50hz and Canada is 60hz. It seems an awfully odd combo to pair together given the differences between electricity/broadcast systems. Are the tuner types even the same? I'm guessing Canada uses ATSC like the US does. Does HDTV in PAL regions run at 25/50 or did that switch to 30/60? I'd imagine the systems they use have every video standard built in now and the only real regional difference is what's turned on by default and cosmetic changes [meaning extra Us in the UI and maybe French moved up the language list to second position] plus no warrantee support.

We're getting to the point that 1080p is getting relegated to the bargain models and if you want anything big or with a quality picture it will probably be 4K anyway.

Reliability is the main reason I'm probably going to just go with a 1080p LCD instead if springing for something better, I've had good luck with my electronics but they seem to be getting worse in the build quality department.

So I had finally ostensibly settled on the Sony 55X810 but then I look on amazon and the 850 is only $200 more. Looking into it though it looks like the only actual difference in the trilumos on the 850 but everyone's already talking about how good the color on the 810 is so what gives? The 850 is technically HDR-capable but I have my doubts that an edge-lit LCD can get anywhere near as bright as the laser projectors they're using to demo HDR content.

I don't own one but from what I've read the picture is compromised a bit to achieve the insane thinness, people are reporting light bleeding issues. If you get one that's prefect it sounds like a really good tv though.

Good Will Hrunting posted:Whats the difference between the 810c and 850c? Both looked really nice when I saw them in-store the other day. The 850 has Trilumos [brand name for nanoparticle coating for wider dynamic range] and supports 3D [who cares]. I'm deciding between the two now at 55" and leaning towards the 850 just because my original budget was close to the $1200 it's going for now. The max brightness is slightly higher on the 850 as well.

If you're comparing input lag numbers under 50ms you're not going to notice much of anything, when that really mattered was the bad old days when 100ms was considered good and some Samsungs were over 250.

I have a stand-alone blu-ray player [Sony S5500] because I wanted to save wear and tear on my PS4 and use a real remote [the PS4 remote hadn't even been announced], it's a little better at handling dirty Netflix discs than the PS4 was but it's a little annoying on streaming services. Ultra HD players barely exist and I think the only one actually for sale is over $1000. Wait a couple years.

I heard when they did the original Dolby Vision demos at last years' CES they actually dialed max brightness down from what the system is capable of [4000 nits] after people complained.

We're getting the point now where [LG OLEDs excepted] pretty much every decent tv over 40" is 4k anyway so it's not really worth harping on. The whole point of the UltraHD Premium badge is to create a new, more expensive class of TVs since the margin on "normal" ones is basically zero, kind of like the old THX badge [which Sony also decided to never bother with].

At this point Sony electronics as a company isn't really in a position to do that "put a model of [thing x] into the market because our competitors are and see if it takes off," they're on a budget and the hardware for streaming can also be built into their TVs and projectors. I'm sure if UHD blu ray actually takes off they'll have players on the market but I'd guess they're a little gun shy to go first.

You should turn off all motion processing for games, all they'll do is increase lag and make things look worse. That said the PS3 is ten year old hardware at this point, I wouldn't expect miracles. As far as audio goes I put all sources into the receiver and have a single HDMI cable to the TV.

As long as it's multiple of both 30 and 24 which 120 is don't worry about it, the panel quality is going to make a much bigger difference. Everything above that is a marketing number and you should turn off all the motion interpolation anyway.

Maybe I'm an old fashioned curmudgeon but I hate the idea of relying on a smartphone app for my TV functionality. Vizio's thing is offloading everything onto apps so they don't have to try to write a decent smart OS, their higher end TVs even come with an android tablet to do setup and streaming.

One thing I don't get about the current crop of harmony remotes is the non-LCD model seems dumb. The volume control is in a weird place and although it says it controls 8 devices there's exactly 3 activity buttons on the remote with six "smart home" controls underneath. Who has wifi light bulbs and home automation but only has 3 sources? I know you can remap all the buttons but "press the slightly larger light bulb to turn on the PS4" isn't a great compromise.

I'd guess they'll come out around $2500 street for the 55", $3500-4000 for the 65". Wouldn't shock me if it was more, though.

Once I got my TV set for movies I typically had to bump the brightness a bit up from neutral in a lot of games. Fortunately that's the most common in-game adjustment available so I don't have to change my TV settings.
