Is anyone buying a new TV for the PS5/XSX because of HDMI 2.1 and VRR

Phil Spencer confirmed that the Xbox Series X will have VRR. Also the Xbox One X currently supports VRR up to 1440P. Xbox Series X should support VRR up to 4K which is really good. If Xbox Series X is supporting VRR most likely PS5 will support VRR as well.
Pretty much. Just waiting for one of those new HDMI 2.1/eARC soundbars at this point
I'm probably jumping on a Vizio OLED next year with 4k 120hz VRR and good HDR. That's 90% of the way to a perfect monitor, missing ultrawide.
I'm just happy variable refresh rate is a thing that's actually happening and the consoles should take advantage of it. I'll wait for prices to drop in 2/3 years maybe and upgrade to a decent tv for my gaming needs. Especially once all the bugs are ironed out and we know what works and doesn't. I expect some stupid issues to crop up like how some initial 4K TVs couldn't do HDR for games because of high lag etc.
I just moved internationally and had to get a new TV (55inch Samsung QLED).. I think that will probably do me fine for next gen
I'm still on a 1080p TV, so I will definitely get a new TV for Series X. I'll be sure to get a newer one with HDMI 2.1, I don't want to miss out on anything.
Still hanging on to my B7 for now. I will wait until there's actual real time usage and testing from DF HDTVTEST, etc of HDMI 2.1 with the XSX and PS5, and see if VRR is the real deal in everyday usage, not just on paper. We won't know until the systems are out, and games can be tested on them. Really want to wait on another breakthrough with OLED panels, since the screens have pretty much been the same for the last couple of years. Sony not adding HDMI 2.1 to their 2020 OLEDs is also weird af, even though its in their LCDs. We'll see
I'm definitely planning on upgrading, but not too sure what TV to go for yet.
Any recommendations?

I plan on buying one of the 48" OLED TV's this year.
I'm leaning more towards LG's CX model - but may get Sony's if the price is right.

I just bought an LG B8 last year, so probably not unless I find an amazing deal. HDMI 2.1, and more specifically, VRR isn't enough of a reason for me to upgrade. But when I do get another TV, it'll most likely be another OLED.
2.1 also comes with higher bandwidth and eARC, which will allow it to pass higher bitrate audio, as well as some other things like mandatory a/v sync protocols.
I've got VRR w/ my Q9FN already, so I'm good. Just hoping more games target 60fps next gen, and Sony supports VRR w/ PS5. eARC would be nice for audio, but I'm good w/ what I've got since I tend to use headphones more often anyways.
Yes. I was planning on a 55" Q80R, because the Q90R is only 65" in the USA. (Elsewhere, it's smaller)
But I wanted to wait for the HDMI 2.1 spec to allow better VRR at 4K. With the Q80R, VRR is limited to a low end of 48Hz at 4K because of HDMI 2.0. 1080p is way more flexible.
So I'm hoping to see that addressed, and if eARC support is fixed. But with Samsung's new soundbar integration with the TVs (They work together now), it's less of an immediate concern.
For reference, the new Samsung TVs are the Q80T and the Q90T, but no real details are online yet.
(I also would love for the Q80T to have OneCable, support)

Yeah as soon as I read that G-Sync was coming to 2019 LG OLED TVs which also had HDMI 2.1, I knew it was time to upgrade, got it during a sale and I couldn't be happier about it.
1440p @120Hz G-Sync/VRR will be gaming bliss
Also my previous panel was a 720p LG TV that, after more than 10 years, still works like a champ, but it was time to upgrade.

I'm still rocking my 8000 series 1080p/240Hz 3D LED TV that was absolute balls 7 years ago. Well, 3D was a short lived fad, so I overspent on it, lol. Oh well, it's time to jump into 4k, so I'm looking to grab a Samsung Q70 QLED at income tax refund time finally!
Yup. I waited until this new gen to jump into 4K. I want to see the pricing for the CX model. I have a 32 inch that I keep in my bedroom that I bought in college (so it was the perfect size for my undergrad dorm, but now my grad dorm is a lot bigger).
48 sounds like a nice size but I'm worried that I'll regret not going bigger. 65 sounds like it might be too large. So I'm eyeing the 55" CX.
Anyone remember what the C9 55" was priced at when it launched?

Yup. Want to get. 65" and am leaning towards a c9 due to HDMI 2.1 but not sure if I may go Sony or Philips for better notion handling?
Yeah, my plasma will be a decade old then. Was planning this since 2017, it's nice to know not only is all the tech here finally and the TV future proof as I predicted then, they've also become affordable. A 65" OLED with VRR, HDMI 2.1, HFR, HDR, OLED was already sub $2k last holidays.
It supports higher bandwidth data transmission and this means that HDMI can support high framerates at the same time as higher resolutions.
One of the big things is that the HDMI 2.1 format natively supports variable refresh rate (the generic non branded term for freesync, which is based on the same standards)
Motion handling won't affect games, as those features are typically disabled in game mode anyway. Sony is the one to go for if you want to improve your movie content, they are very good at that, but you'll lose the great gaming features that the LG sets have
Where can i find info on new tv models with these features, interested in a cheap but good gaming tv. Not much bigger than 42" ideally
I am getting a C9 within the next 2 weeks so, yes! I am only upgrading though because my wife is taking my current QLED and putting it in a different room so she is forcing me to buy a new one, which I thank her for. :)
I say wait for 2020 LG OLED TVs later this year, which will have HDMI 2.1 and G-Sync compatibility, and there's a 48 inch model coming.
I Might. I don't game on my TV ever these days because it doesn't support it. I've been on a gaming monitor with everything and the experience is just so much better.
Thanks, not a fan of 50 inch plus TV's especially in a smaller room ill check that one then the smaller the better
