People expect 4K 120 fps with PS5 and Xbox 4? Really? How about 1080p with best possible graphics and 60 fps instead of 4K with PS4 Level graphics and 30 fps.

Is anyone buying a new TV for the PS5/XSX because of HDMI 2.1 and VRR
- Thread starter Inglorious Man
- Start date
I'd like to get an LG OLED later this year. I just want a panel with a confirmed 4k 120hz mode.
Right now I'm considering the new LG CX-48, but I've never owned an OLED before and I'm concerned about burn in. I tend to play games sometimes 8+ hours a day on the weekend. Usually it's just one game, and I have a strong feeling that the HUD elements will burn in. What's the best LED tv out there 48-55" with 2.1 4k freesync 120hz that wouldn't burn in?
I have been thinking about selling my LG B8 and buy either a B9 or C9, however I am finding it hard to justify it. VRR will only work from 40-120hz and I firmly believe games will be running natively at 4K 30fps with some doing 60fps so it will only be useful in some situations. Chroma 4:4:4 HDR is the other advantage but I don't think it's that massive a difference to be worth an upgrade.
I bought a TCL 6-Series 2019. I'm not really concerned about the lack of HDMI 2.1. It's already got Auto Low Latency ("Auto Game Mode"), and it's supposed to get updated to support VRR (up to 60fps) and eARC. Those are the main benefits anyway. I can't afford a TV that has all that stuff AND 120hz. This TV cost me $467 plus tax and I couldn't see myself spending over $600 on a TV, so I think it's the best I'll be able to do for awhile for the price I paid.
im probably going to also
but im still iffy on my ability to not burn in games and cable TV
It's a shame that VRR for most TVs is just 48-60, making it only useful for 60fps games with some issues. Makes it useless for most unlocked frame rate games that spend a lot of time in the 40s and totally useless for 30fps games.
It was confirmed in recent days that Sony 950H series will not have HDMI 2.1. The cheaper 900H series will.. What a colossal fuck up Sony.. I had planned to get 950G successor with my PS5 which will have HDMI 2.1 yet Sony themselves are not including it in their mid-highend TVs ... booo
Not specifically for the PS5/XB2. More so because I'll need a new TV in general when I graduate and start working as I won't be taking much with me when I move on out
I just bought a LG OLED 65" E9 because of HDMI 2.1. Been waiting for TVs with this spec for years now and it's my first 4K TV.
It's the weirdest move, definitely, but I'll go with it.
Sony X800H (X80H) Series Input Lag Test
In this video, we test the input lag time on the new Sony XBR X800H (X80H) series. The signal we sent was 1080p at 60Hz and we used the model XBR55X800H.---...

I wasn't but then my 65" LG Oled E6 developed a flaw. The insurance company's repairshop picked it up today to take a look at it. A couple of hours later they told me it couldn't be fixed.
I should get around 24,000kr from the insurance. A new 65" LG Oled C9 costs around 14,000kr these days.
...guess I am getting a new tv with VRR, HDMI2.1 and all the trimmings as well as a decent soundbar :-D

I've always been in the camp of "Don't replace tech until necessary" so I'll be cranking along with my 2015 1080p set until it up and dies on me.
There's a weird "smudge" on the panel that you can see when there's solid colors on screen, but it's not enough for me to consider it in poor shape.

I've been meaning to replace my 2009 Bravia (40"/1080p) when PS5 arrives, if full-array LEDs are affordable in 55" size by then.
I bought an LG C9 last year cause of HDR/dolby vision/hdmi 2.1/VRR.
But mostly because of the gsync support for my PC gaming, nothing to do with consoles

Nah. Games look good enough today on my TV (4K) and monitor (1080p), so I won't upgrade until my my tv/monitor dies, which will hopefully not occur until many years from now.
I have several problems with buying a new TV this year:
4K is difficult to see the difference unless you get a very large TV and/or sit close to it.
New console plus extra controllers and games adds up
My 1080p 55" is perfectly good
Still not a lot of 4K content
To me the sweet spot will be 80"+ under $2000 with all modern performance features. I think we're a few years away from that and by then TV will have caught up on the content side. Still, the jump doesnt feel as substantial as SD to HD.

I have a 65" Sony X900E. Solid TV. Works great with my Xbox One X and PS4 Pro.
I do want to upgrade though. A proper upgrade would be a 77" LG OLED. It's over $4,000 though which is a lot—especially during a year in which I plan to buy a lot of tech. I'm therefore going to hold off on getting a new TV until probably late 2021.

I have a 70" 4k Vizio M-series from 2017 . I love the TV but the backlight is starting to go on one side. My warranty is good until 2022 from Costco so hoping that it lasts the rest of this year and craps out next fall so I can get me a nice 75" plus. It'll be a Vizio again probably and for sure from Costco since they have the best warranty and return policy, in Ontario anyway.
I do want a new TV that handles HDR better so knowing me I'll probably push it as soon as the new consoles are out just to try to get it to fail sooner.

Nope still rocking my B7. I'll wait until the consoles are out and we actually get some some real world testing done. On paper it sounds great, but I want to see the benefits in action on the inevitable HDTVTEST & DF vids.
I am VERY happy with my current Vizio P75 *BUT* am going to be sorely tempted to pick up a new TV and Receiver to go with the console twins this fall. Depends how much I hear 2.1 and VRR really bring to the table and if I find a reasonable deal on a TV I like over Christmas.
The biggest display you can afford that fits. Most people buy undersized TVs.
I feel like monitors will stick to 2.0 for some time yet, opting for DP 1.4 with DSC instead to provide 4K/120+/HDR. This should be considerably cheaper and this is a big factor for monitor industry.
that's a huge bummer, as i was really hoping to pair a series x with a monitor :(
I would say if you sit 6-8 feet away get a 65". 55" is doable too but a bit on the small side for gaming unless you move closer.
As someone who's been gaming on a 26 incher since the start of the gen, I feel rather inadequate.
So you have a big room and a 65" TV and sit 6 -8 feet away? That seems weird.
Move back for movies or the same?
Didn't plan on rushing out to pick up a hdmi 2.1 w/vrr tv any time soon, but we just moved and the movers cracked my 2016 samsung 4k. So the LG E9 arrived a few days ago and love it so far; played some Jedi Fallen Order on xbox one x, and Uncharted Lost Legacy on ps4 and it just looks so much better than my already great prior tv. Glad to know it should have any/most bells and whistles that the next gen consoles will utilize.
My wife loathes any soundbars or speaker setups in the main living room so the front facing speaker on the E9 is actually useful and not too bad in my usage case.

65" at 6ft is not that big. That's probably the absolute minimum I'd want for gaming.
But as I said previously, most people buy undersized TVs.
