Full send my guy. Drop the extra $200 and get the C9.

Yeah Vizio has a great CES this year. They are coming out with an OLED display this year and their sound bars also have HDMI 2.1 which is very good too.
When I got my LG B8 last year, I paired it with a Vizio SB36512-F6 instead of going the receiver route and I couldn't be happier with it.
If your room is pre-wired already, I would take advantage of that and move to a receiver/5.1 setup. A dedicated 5.1 system will be significantly better than a soundbar setup. Your cost will be more obviously but I think it's worth it.
Do we know if the 6 Series will be a 120 Hz native panel, because VRR is better with a 120 hz panel.

Unfortunately we know absolutely nothing yet. TCL liked a tweet from TechRadar mentioning the new 6 and 5 but haven't made any statement themselves
Are places already selling 2.1 tested and certified cables?
it's because there is more wastage on a smaller panel and it fundamentally costs the same as a larger panel to make
65inch is the optimal size for Their process, which is why it's priced so competitively Vs the 55inch and sees larger discounts.
It's also why the bigger panels are crazy expensive.
an example image of how the manufacturing has changed over time
This will continue and no doubt it is why they have chosen to not release a budget BX version of the 48inch model
I wonder if it might have a knock on effect of making the range ever so slightly more expensive too as they slot it in

Not that I've seen, I just don't expect that because 2.1 cables have to be tested that it suddenly means the end of cheaper cables.
Cable companies will have to pay for testing and certification and this will limit the production of budget cables no doubt.
As full bandwidth 2.1 is going to be limited to only a handful of displays this year and useage cases (premium consoles), I'd also expect manufacturers to take advantage of that enthusiast status too.
I moved recently and realized i don´t really use my tv. At my old place and even less now, mostly watch stuff on my pc.
So, i want to sell my LG 55" B7. Maybe finally update my old ass 1080p60 monitors. Anyone have a rough estimate what i can ask for? No scratches or burn in.
Thought this might be the right place, even if it´s about newer tech.

I'm sure some will take advantage, I'm just saying that I don't think testing and certification is that expensive.
Not a 2.1 cable, but still a tested and certified premium HDMI cable, which isn't much different in price to other non certified cables.
Yup. I'm still getting the 77" GX, but I'm expecting around $7K-$8K minimum on this set when it launches. I'm hoping that it reaches around that much or around $5K by the end of the summer or if not, Black Friday.
That's the plan after I look into calibrators in my area.
100 OLED wasn't helping anything. That sucks, but tbh with that kind of use, not really surprising. Fortunately the 8/9 series oled's have larger red sub pixels, so that should help a lot in regards to burn in prevention.
Congratulations to us all
That's not a 2.1 cable
"Ultra High Speed" is 2.1
But if the hardware is able to, is it then just a software block/limit on the C8?
There will be various chips and components hard wired to deal with the HDMI 2.0 signalling.
As we've seen sometimes they can patch firmware to at least partially deal with it, but that is going to depend on many factors
Is there a date for when the LG C9 will receive an update for 4K/120hz capability? Also how well does Gsync and Freesync work with the C9?
You can start with an entry level Denon receiver like this one. There are also comparable Onkyo, Pioneer and Yamaha ones similarly priced. If you go up in feature level you get atmos sound or 7.1 capability but you aren't configured for them in your setup.
Once you have the receiver you can start looking at speakers and sub-woofers. You could entry level like this Klipsch set or go higher in price to get individual components. Klipsch has some good entry level Reference line speakers but your cost goes up over their basic 5.1 system. Audio components can get pricey but you don't want to go too cheap or the sound will really suffer.

I'm thinking about getting a hdmi splitter. One for the tv and the other goes to the reciever. Surely that would be cheaper for now.... Only problem is... Are there any 2.1 splitters available?
Defeats the purpose of earc but could do until I can afford a better reciever in the future.
If there's no word after the NVidia GPU announcements, then we panic. And start looking around to see if anyone's trying any class action lawsuits

Seems like LG is only making the 48" size to have a presence in that market space, 50" and under has strictly been LCD. Maybe the margins will be tiny or break even, but the value for LG could simply having a panel in that market.
Yeah, I wonder how big the demand is. It's something that comes up in this thread a lot, people who would like an OLED but just don't have the space for one 55"+.
Not sure, but enough of us here look at monitors too so go for it
Think we will have to wait until the CX is put through its paces before we can say anything that's concrete.
Right now, the Dolby Vision automatic picture control based on might conditions in the house and the filmmaker mode is all LG are talking about. There's a more powerful professor chip too, but you'll have to wait and see what difference that makes. Probably not a big one.
Cool. So I'm looking to buy one with the following things:
+27" or larger
+UHD or 3440 x 1440
+Display type doesn't matter, but no OLED
+lots or a pretty decent amount of ports
And my budget is less than $600. Or should I just hold off until a monitor with HDMI 2.1 releases?

I think this years TCL 5-Series could make for a good monitor as it's going to have a QLED panel and is supposed to feature Full Array Local Dimming. That would make for a very good 43" display granted it comes in at the previous 5-Series price of $349. No word on brightness or the amount of dimming zones yet.
This annoys the hell out of me.
This is what I was looking to confirm since Monday, they don't need to keep it a secret.
People are going to buy what they want, it isn't going to cannibalize sales to announce an upcoming model. Americans buying TVs by the truckload.
I mean, I've seen SOME sites detail the new Samsung TVs with a few nifty features, but they aren't friggin' talking about anything except the WALL and the dumb rotating one.
Are you looking to hook up consoles to it? If PC only, then no need to wait. Not many monitors have a lot of ports, usually just a DP, an HDMI and maybe a USB-C
Display yep doesn't mater, but LCD only? Ok.
To be clear, I don't care what you buy, I just dot understand that statement.
I found out more from this guy's video then what TCL was able to show us in 3 days...
TCL 6 series with Mini-LED @ 18:30.
All I want to know is will it include HDMI 2.1...

Yeah, I probably should've mentioned that it's gonna be mainly console-only.
