Congrats! That new TV sheen is always cool, even if it does take a minute to get the best setup done. Random question: if I'm looking at an OLED I probably want the E9 because it's the one that can do variable refresh right?

The Big Bad Worf posted:It can seem like a bummer to feel like you're buying a disposable set, but honestly, 5-7 years from now, there'll be a compelling reason to upgrade. Didn't have HDMI and it was 1080i, but man it felt great. Thing lasted from like 2007 through 2014 and it was just so ancient feeling by the end. Audible fan noise, depreciated "HD" standard, the back was a nest of cables to make it olay nice with the reciever... I hate the idea that the purchase I make today I'll bin in a few years, because I remember having the same 14" TV from like age 7 to age 19, but poo poo changes and that itch to chase Cinema Quality Purity sometimes gets nagging.

Other than HLG and Variable Refreshrate/HDMI 2.1, is there anything bleeding edge cool on the horizon? Or is that a CES question.

EL BROMANCE posted:4K, HDR, and generally 10 years of progress with regards to LCD/LED/OLED. For content: we have a 2011ish 3D Samsung. When you hit the apps button, it minimizes the video to a small window to display all the apps and options. (Not like many of them work anymore, though) Our 2018ish Samsung will bring up a scrollable menu on the bottom and slightly dim the screen to make it stand out. The process is a lot smoother.

LG might keep their pricing to be seen as a premium brand. Or wasn't there talk like 15 years ago that the early Vizio sets used Name Brand screens that were just slightly below QA standards and were cheaper? poo poo I'd love a cheap OLED screen this year for Xmas. VvV Ooooh yeah. Futher reason to run from the Voice Activated remote.

EL BROMANCE posted:This guy I’m just lost for words. Yeah gamers are falling over themselves to buy your 20” RCA tube TV from 1991. In addition to what Tricky Ed said about CRTs, there are certain tricks that console programmers used to get effects to work that don't quite translate to digital panels all that well. Sonic games, for example, used the interlacing on a CRT to help create a transparency effect for waterfalls which doesn't quite work as nicely on a modern screen. Adding to Ed's second point, things were made in mind for the CRT limitations. I noticed that the SNES Classic's FF6 text is slightly distorted. There are these interesting 'shadows' that accompany the text but don't 100% match the letters. On a modern screen it just appears to make the text a little jaggy. But when I pop the FF3 cart into my old SNES and play it on a CRT, what happens is that the initial text fades in and the 'shadow' artifacts pop in after to help give the text definition and set it apart from the background slightly.

You have a plasma, so you probably don't upgrade too often? If so, the C9 is a solid choice that you won't be regretting 5 years down the line.

Residency Evil posted:Ugh I should have bought that c9 when it went on sale for 1600 in November. Waiting for either another deal on the c9 and/or the C10 is getting old. Doesn't look like they discounted around the Superbowl at all this year. You buy a C9 for yourself, and one for me. You'll get the C9 and then you can rest assured your money was well spent. And in the back of your head, you can be like "WOW this is such a great picture... but I feel like maybe I overspent so when the C14 comes out with ATSC 4, Bluetooth QX, and HDMI 5 with Sensurround 3D and support for VR I'll DEFINITELY get a deal" That sound good? If not, Let's loving GO. Click the link, make the purchase.

Currently their deal is a SquareTrade warranty with an OLED purchase. LG also gives you a free year's of Disney+. Not rock bottom pricing by any means but the squaretrade deal might be worth it if you already extend the warranty by paying with a Costco Credit card. Oh someone wake Residency Evil because the B9 65" is on sale for $1500 at Newegg

fuf posted:My mum needs a 32 inch TV as cheaply as possible. All the reviews for 32 inch TVs are pretty terrible, especially the cheap ones. At a cheap price point, I would worry that a monitor would have lovely refresh and smear the image. Does it need to be 32 because of space issues? Does it need to be like $50 cheap? There are Vizios on Amazon for like $200 at 40ish inches that would be ok.

eARC, Bluetooth 5, Gen3 processor, Auto Low Latency detection, and some expanded Dolby Vision/HDR options. It doesnt have ATSC3 so it's not a killer futureproof upgrade. You'll be fine with a C9.

C9 is basically the go to if you want to bling out your TV watching experience/gaming. The C10 (CX actually) is this year's model and it isn't out yet. You can also scrimp a bit and do the B9 but it uses a slightly older processor than the C9. Note that OLEDs degrade over time, everyone worries about Burn In, and there is slight judder visible to some, but the picture quality can't be beat. As for LED tvs, I think the Samsung QLEDs and Vizio P-Series Quantum X are the alternative go-tos.

Paul MaudDib posted:speaking of which... how do people feel about display models? Mine came with an included 2 year Squaretrade policy. So I get the 1 year manufacturer + 2 year Costco/Costco Credit extension and then the Squaretrade on that. I figure if it shits the bed I'm pretty well covered. Anyway, I'd try and take a look to see what the floor model settings are like. Is the backpanel light cranked to 100? Running lots of static images? All that might affect the set a bit.

Rhyno posted:Should I ask about soundbars here or elsewhere? If you're space/budget limited a soundbar will be "fine". It'd say spend $250 on one of the Vizio 5.1 bars with wireless subs. $50 sounds pretty meh. Dr. E linked a 2.1 Vizio for like $130. Consensus is get a modest reciever and some ok speakers for really good sound. I've got a 5 year old Onkyo and a mishmash of speakers, but I hooked it up during a long weekend and goddamn the difference between that and my 'bar was really obvious.
