I'm not in a position to upgrade yet, but I wish I could go for a 65". Doubt it'd fit though - maybe one of those super slim base Sony OLEDs like the AF8.
I'm surprised how quickly I adjusted from going from 55" to 65".
The larger screen looked enormous to begin with, but a week or so later and it felt normal.
Part of this is down to the actual TV size not being much different. My old plasma had a wide bezel around it, where as the OLED's bezel is nearly nonexistent.

So in the Visual section of the Denon x3400h, under 4K Options, 4K Signal Format needs to be set to Enhanced or it forces 4:2:0
65" looks about perfect in my place, I think 77" would actually be overpowering. I'd still buy one if I had $6,000 laying around but yeah, this is just about all I need.

Thinkin about calling in sick tomorrow just to watch some movies and play with settings all day.

Probably worth just taking out until after Thanksgiving at this point
C8 is back in stock at Amazon but back to $2700, I wonder if they just got tricked into price matching another online retailer.
I had actually completely forgotten that was this week...

Proud owner of an LG (65") C8!
Bad news is I have to wait until Friday. I forgot that you really dont want these things laying on their sides : (
Edit: Bought mine from Best Buy who will allow me to price match from now until Jan 12th (except for this upcoming Thursday thru Monday)

So I'm deciding between the C8 and the Panasonic FZ950 (which I don't think is even in the US market) at 55". Both are similarly priced in Aus.
The FZ950 actually looked like it had better picture quality in store but perhaps it was just calibrated better.
Any insights anybody?

The Panasonic OLED's win the annual TV shootout just about every year but they don't support Dolby Vision. I guess it depends on how much you value that aspect.
I got that target ad TCL 55" after discounts and tax, 300 dollars.
Took it home, still need to mount on wall to have the job done, but it looks as good as expected. And glad to say no issues so far. I'm not going to use the smart tv functions, paranoid about modern TVs taking a shit due to smart features and things beyond just being a screen.
Quite a bit bigger than 42 which is what I had before, almost too big. Can't ever see getting a bigger tv than this.
Question for anyone in here, but especially anyone who has a TCL..
Should I update the firmware or just leave it as is? What would be in a firmware update? I'm not planning on connecting to wifi or anything for any reason, but if a firmware update would so something important (typically paranoid about updates making machines worse or suddenly killing them) then I might consider it.

I'm too late, but yes. Best Buy will price match any tv purchase from now until January 12th except from the 23rd to the 26th of November.
Last year, the 2017 OLEDS got an another price drop around Xmas so, barring another 2400 USD deal, that's what I'll be holding out for
Seeing as LG and Panny 55" and 65" have been price parity for a while, and they're both top tier tellies, it comes down to minor differences. You can't go wrong with either.
I bought the 65" FZ950 a couple of weeks ago, and the main reason I chose the Panasonic was I don't like the chunky stand on the C8. The FZ950 is far more understated.
The FZ950 is phenomenal, btw. I only needed minor tweaks to the out-of-the-box settings to get a picture I love.
I've had the 55 inch TCL 6 series for a couple of months now and I'd like to mount in on the wall like I had with my old TV. Any recommendations for a good full motion wall mount?
Thanks guys. So here is the thing: John Wick works perfectly now on the X. What was the problem? A huge finger print xD
Regarding Dolby Vision: The X1X tells me that the DV version of my TV is older than the console version, so DV through the X is not possible. Will DV then work with the LG or Sony player? TV is an Oled E6.
I respectfully disagree, as those look both accurate and superb on my B7.
Having an issue with my X900F.
For some reason tonight out of nowhere, when I turn on my PS4 Pro, the HDMI signal flickers in and out. I switched HDMI cables, that didn't fix it.
The odd thing is, so far(knock on wood) the only fix I found for it, is switching it from HDMI port 2 to HDMI port 3, and it isn't having the issue. Could there be a problem with my TV's HDMI port 2? I've never had an issue with a bad HDMI port before.
Also, just to test, I hooked my Xbox One up to HDMI port 2 and the issue didn't happen. So far, I've only been able to produce it when I have my PS4 Pro hooked up to HDMI port 2.
My Best Buy warranty ran out, but I still have the manufacturer's warranty, but I really don't want to send it in for repairs unless I truly have to, I have no backup TV to use in the mean time :(

Nice! Enjoy that new set. :)
Though I'm surprised you were already ready to upgrade, heh.
One of these days I'll finally pick up that movie.

What is your seating distance? I am currently thinking about the 77C8. I have an 55 E6 from 2016. I jokingly said to my gf that I would kinda like to buy the 77 inch and there was no immediate "you are dead if you do" .
I sit 10 feet away from a 77" C8 and it's the perfect size. I say do it. Better to ask for forgiveness than ask for permission
For whatever reason, I forgot you had a B7, I thought you were in the I'm happy with it camp, out of curiosity, why did you get rid for a C8?
Haha, I will also sit 10 feet away. I once had a projector with a picture of about 75 inches.
The TV is currently at 4.6k Euro on Amazon. LG Cashback would give me 1k, but the offer does not work with Amazon, sadly. I asked another shop in my country if they can match Amazon's price so I can take advantage of LG's Cashback. I have another 13 hours to decide XD
Are there any rumors regarding TVs from 2019? I could also wait another year for the next BF deals.
Haha, nice. I wonder if that's the most popular size now, it seems like it.
I got to go up from my old 46" to a 55" when I got my A1E.
Thanks for the insight. Went with the FZ950 55" because I managed to find one under 2000 AUD.
We had the 55" A1 for a week as well, but ended up returning it since the stand was too deep for our TV stand - and mounting it on the wall, made it that 30cm further away and feeling a bit too small. So we waited out for an offer for the slimmer AF8 in a larger size.
As far as I know the Panny does not support Dolby Vision if that is of concern to you.
Yeah small shame, but for the price I couldn't pass it up. The picture quality was just insane in the store.
I'm really up for this:
https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www.techadvisor.co.uk/review/tv/philips-6703-review-2018-3678772/?amp
My last philips was the 9632 from 10 years ago. Even though this is mid-range, assuming that it shits all over it. Which is incredible for £399 that it is currently going for.

There will always be pros and cons and if it wowed you that much it was definitely the right choice :)
I bought one on Friday, the black levels are stunning. Made the Mrs laugh though 'stop obsessing over your awesome black levels!'
Hooked up a Samsung NU8000 55 inch set tonight. Holy shit. The clarity of this thing is so beautiful. The colors just pop so much. I had a Samsung 40 inch since 2010 and the step up is just insane shit. Played with the apps,streamed some vintage tv in Battlestar Galactica and Miami Vice,used the fast motion feature to make them look better,does a nice job on old content for sure. Will hook up my XBoxOneX and try Forza IV and Shadow of the TombRaider and see how this HDR thing plays out. The speakers are eh,ok,doesn't put out quite the volume of sound that my old Samsung does but I think I'm going to grab some blutooth speakers on Black Friday. I grabbed the tv at Best Buy for $750.00 total. Thought about getting the 65 but nope my bedroom is way too small for that beast. The NU8000 is a really nice tv overall. Didn't break the bank either,very happy with the quality so far. For example the upscalling on old movies is sweet. I ripped Wolverine Origins from a DVD into an Xvid format,inserted it into a USB stick,then plugged it into one of the USB slots on the tv and it looks so cleans and vibrant with the upscale. Going to rip my whole collection doing this and will grab a large flashstick for black Friday too I suppose. This shit is gonna be so good for movies :)
BTW- whats the best affordable 4K bluray player in terms of the most codec formats it can handle?
Stuff that can handle H265 and MKV would be a good start.
Thanks.

Haha, should not have posted here about the 77 inch OLED I guess :D It is already gone from Amazon.de ^^
8 feet away, 65" looks just about perfect from this distance.
Size, my B7 is 55" and looked too small in my current set-up. If I had gone 65" last year when I bought the B7, I would have been more than fine keeping it as my main tv for another few years.
I currently have the same problem somehow. The wall is now bigger where the TV is hanging (new apartment), so it kinda looks out of place, not sure how to describe it. The 77 inch would be a little bit overkill, but would fit well in the space given.
You sure it's not the other way around? LED's should have no chance going against an OLED. Also make sure you're playing in SDR, not HDR.
Looking for some help if possible. Obviously, Era gushes over the C8 and I myself am looking into the possibility of joining the bandwagon. However, I'm looking for a long-term TV solution (we'll say 10 years) and am pretty scared by the "Horrors of Burn-in".
Right now it's between the 55" LG C8 or 55" Samsung Q9FN (I'm European).
Let's say I want a 10 hour session of Smash Ultimate everyday for the week after release (and have the Pixel Refresher on when the TV is turned off), how worried or safe should I be? Over a 10 year period, how will this affect the TV? (Though I know nobody has had the C8/7 for that long so far...)

Go for 77" if you have the room for it, having a TV that's too big is easier to deal with than one that's too small. I'm never cheaping out on size again.
Wasn't there a deal for the C8 a week or two ago for just over 2,000? Whyis everyone acting like that Amazon deal is such a steal?
