I'm keeping my eye on the Samsung q80t, Sony 900h and LG CX in case a great deal happens but I doubt it
I'll probably wait another 6-12 months though

Missed out on PS5 pre-orders, so I bought a Sony X900H TV instead for 120 fps

Oh ok. It's been that price at the military store for a couple weeks, but I can't make the 65 work in my room.
it was on walmart for like 12 hours last night, but i think it officially go lives tonight
Thanks, but I'm in need of a 55. That is a great price for the 65.
2020 TVs don't cut it. I don't think 2021 models will either but 2020 models definitely don't. LG OLED is only one but too expensive.
Eh, I got my 85" X900H a few weeks ago in the Labor Day sale and it was $270 cheaper than it is now. I'm good.
I picked up the 65" model in July in anticipation of a PS5, then totally failed to secure a preorder, but lucked out when my wife was browsing Canuck Walmart just as preorders went live there and she snagged one, so I'm set.
However, I didn't know about the 120 fps DMC 5 feature, so now I'm pumped for that.

If you're in the U.S. then cheapest price is currently $919.99 at Best Buy for the 55" X900H.I bought my 55" X900H a couple of weeks ago for $998 at Walmart. If the price goes down to $919.99 there then I might see if I can get them to price match.
I picked up the same TV from Costco, though I have preorders for a PS5 and Series X. All I need is the firmware update and I'll be good to go!
Not many AAA games, no but there'll be plenty of indie to AA games that will boast being 120fps for increased wow-factor visibility.
Anywhere else for that discount? Best Buy, Amazon and Wal-Mart are all still over $900 for the 55 inch model
its only at AAFES (the military only store)
probably a good indication for a sale price at "normal" stores in the future though
Got it. Thank you. I'll keep that price in mind as we approach the holidays.
Been trying to decide between the X900H and the LG CX, but this price makes the difference 1000 dollars and that makes the 900h an easy purchase, especially considering no tax. So thanks for the heads up on this deal. I was thinking I wouldn't see a good deal on this TV until Black Friday, so it'll be nice getting the TV before the PS5/XSX actually show up.
Just got 65" X900H in preparation for next gen too, it's perfect for my price range and I'm super happy with it. I've been using a 1080p 55inch from 2011 so needless to say it's a really nice upgrade. I've long felt like I was missing out when it came to HDR and when it's implemented well it's a revelation. Just hope Sony deliver the 2.1 update for launch.
This will almost certainly be the TV I pick up this year as I'm currently rocking a 1080p set from 2014, but I'm beginning to grow concerned about the lack of the 2.1 update. I would love an OLED and can afford the 65" CX but just don't see myself using my TV enough for it to pay for itself, so I figured meeting somewhere in the $1200~ range is ideal. I won't be picking up a next gen console at launch but can certainly see myself getting one in December or January, so having the TV first is ideal. As much as I'm considering holding off on the TV, I think Black Friday should bring some nice discounts, and if I hold off I'm eventually waiting until spring 2021 or whatever for new TVs to drop.
Does anyone know whether or not nvidia's new graphics cards should play nice with this VRR when it gets the update? I see some conflicting information about gsync vs free sync vs hmdi VRR. I assume it's the later, which should be the generalized and supported standard for the new consoles and gpus, but these things seem less clear when I actually go looking for an answer with TVs.
I have both LG B8 and C8 and I'll stick with them.
I only play multiplayer games usually on the PC anyways

I want to and money isn't an issue (thankfully) but I really can't justify it since my 1080p Sony TV that I got around X360 launch is still working and is honestly not that bad. The picture may get a little blurry in a darker scenes but eh... I would feel kind of bad throwing/giving it away.
I remember calibrating it so Mass Effect 1 could look its best and haven't moved a slider since lol

I play most competitive games on PC and I feel like 60 fps is fine for single player. I'd like to have the frames but the cost is just too high at the moment.
So I bought a 65in 900h a few days ago, and the colors look a bit washed compared to my TCL 615, it does get pretty bright though.
I have a Sony A1E 55" OLED TV. Got it maybe 1.5yrs ago.
You guys think should be good enough for next generation, mainly PS5 gaming. Ill get an Xbox eventually. What do you think?

Washed color ? What setting are you using. I have a 617 and they are night and day in term of color accuracy and motion.
I upgraded from a pretty bad 1080p tv to a 950g and I love it. VRR wasn't worth the extra money I'd pay for a 900h, especially when the PQ is generally lower.
I've heard the 900f is also excellent. In the end, love the one you are with. Unless the tv is broken or horribly outdated, it's probably going to do a great job playing games. HDMI 2.1 has benefits, but they are intangible and mostly the drive to upgrade is driven by FOMO.
Not sure, I've been messing with the set a lot, could you tell me which setting you have them on
To the others that got the X90H(CH for Costco) have you noticed this weird quirk? Got it back in July and am super happy overall with it but noticed that while using Netflix, Hulu, or Prime that the motion smoothing junk randomly turns back on. Even with all the stuff turned off it will turn back on and sometimes the 'Cinema' mode I've been using needs reset and those options to be manually selected and turned off again. Noticed it a few times now.
Replaced my crappy 6 year old 42" 1080p Panasonic TV with the LG CX 4K 55" OLED.
I wanted a 4K TV that had the best visual quality and features that would get the most out next gen consoles (mainly HDMI 2.1) and new GPUS and that's undoubtedly the CX which comes with 4x2.1 ports and both freesync/gsync.
I was looking at the Samsung QLEDs and they would've been a decent choice but it felt like settling for second best. The Q90T has worse picture, sound, and build quality. Worse VRR implementation (less range + no gsync).
Seen people recommend Sony TVs but they aren't even worth considering. Neither is anything else really. Only real options were LG or Samsung. There wasnt much price difference between the CX + Q90T so went for the LG.
The TV is stunning. I have never spent so much on a TV before but as soon as I turned it on the last thing on my mind was the price I had paid for it. Totally worth it and not sure I could ever go back to a non OLED TV.

Happened to get a notification about the price drop on Amazon and I saw this listed on the page. I don't remember it being shown before:
HDMI 2.1: Get the most out of your next-gen gaming console with the latest HDMI 2.1 standards featuring ALLM, VRR and 4K at 120fps for reduced input lag, increased frame rate and ultra-smooth motion. (Firmware update required, available Winter 2020 and Spring 2021.)
Hate the software on my Samsung Q6FN, dying to get a Sony Bravia. But I'll keep my current TV for at least a couple years until TVs equipped with both proper HDR and VRR are common in the 49-50 inch size and decently affordable. The bang for buck I got on this Q6FN a couple years back for just over 800 euros was and still is insane. Shame it doesn't have VRR.
