I've got a C8 I'm setting up tomorrow. What's the issue with One X media?
Did an email from them arrive today? I get their emails, but the last one was Sunday.It's on sale again today. $40 for $50 eshop with the newsletter promo code.
MosquitoSmasher Cute doggie! That tv looked stunning when I saw it in the wild recently so congrats and enjoy! :)
The X supports Dolby Vision, but in my case (LG Oled E6), the Dolby Vision of the TV is too old (older than the version of the X), so I can't watch DV content.I don't think it supports Dolby Vision. I'm not exactly clear on this though.
Could be completely wrong but doesn't that only work at 1080p on the Samsung with the Xbox one? Might have confused it with freesyncIn the Xbox One X settings I can't enable Variable refresh rate. Isn't that odd? QF has this?

Hmmm that's possible I guess. I'll look into this later then. Right now I'd like to try out some HDR games but I can't seem to figure out how to enable HDR for the game mode, lol.
This settings guide should help!

Look towards the bottom for gaming stuff!
I've been looking at these, to combo with the (up to $100 off) 15% off deal tomorrow.
There are talks about this seller on Slickdeals for these TV deals. Seems like a lot of FUD about it being a grey market seller but they apparently will work with you if you have issues and are well reviewed. People will say LG won't warranty it but that seems to maybe not be true? Anyway read thru the Slickdeals posts. Search for "LG OLED" and they'll pop up.
Search "Ebay" to see the 15% off (max $100) code for 8am to 8pm on the 21st using the mobile app. I'm also seeing 24 months zero interest financing via PayPal if that's an interest.
About tax, I don't know that they charge it, but states expect people to self report out of state purchases if it isn't (yea I know...).
*edit* I've probably talked myself into buying one. Sigh...
The X supports Dolby Vision, but in my case (LG Oled E6), the Dolby Vision of the TV is too old (older than the version of the X), so I can't watch DV content.
Microsoft has released Dolby Vision support on Xbox One, which opens the console to a new pool of HDR content. Initially, support is limited to video streaming applications, starting with Netflix's existing Dolby Vision video library. Although an initial report from CNET claimed Blu-ray disc support is in the pipeline for this fall, Microsoft has since confirmed this is not the case.
Isn't there an additional licence required for paying over HDMI and extra security features need to be implemented to stop/reduce the risk of piracyIt supports it, but apparently ONLY for streaming and for the time being ONLY for Netflix specifically, although I'm having trouble finding more recent articles for any kind of update.
Thank you! :)
And yes, Lara is amazing. Absolutely lovely dog.
I've set it all up just now. Absolutely not an easy job on your own but hey, I managed to do that with the Sony 930e as well, and since this TV is lighter I was gonna do it here as well!
That is interesting, cause the console says that my TV is at fault for not having the same version of DV.It supports it, but apparently ONLY for streaming and for the time being ONLY for Netflix specifically, although I'm having trouble finding more recent articles for any kind of update.
:) Please give Lara an extra big cuddle from me!
Oh, well done. I just got back from my local tv emporium and saw your set in all its glory and immediately thought of you. Happy gaming/viewing!
I almost got myself talked into the 55" LG E8 while I was there. The poor salesman was very keen to sell it to me but at £2K for the sale with commission/brownie points from his boss, I would imagine, that is understandable. I told him that I needed to sleep on it so he's put a hold on it for me for a couple of days. He said the Panasonic OLEDs were doing very well and they are running out of stock. Not surprising, the attract video they have playing on it is stunning. I would be tempted if not for the lack of Dolby Vision and the uninspiring user interface. I had a quick play on the LG C8 which gave me happy memories of gaming on my Wii. That U.I. is easily worth the extra £100 over the Panasonic, for me. Ironically the LG C8 was the least impressive looking set going from what they had running on it. The Panasonic OLED, the Sony OLEDs and also the Samsung Q9FN had really stunning attract videos running which really did those sets justice. The LG C8 had a drab set of rotating still pictures with a fake picture frame that really diminished the appeal of the set. I can easily see how the average shopper is swayed by how the set looks in the shop together with the sales patter of the sales staff. Fortunately I am a nerd and research these things obsessively for months before jumping in. I am teetering on the edge of doing so but will give myself a couple of days to mull it over. £2K is not an inconsiderable sum and my 42" 1080i plasma is perfectly adequate so it would be a complete luxury purchase. Dat OLED screen doe...

So you can get the 65' B8 via the Ebay app for 1799 after discount code is applied. The seller has a 5 star rating of more then 1900 feed left. I am super skeptical though of Ebay and honestly never use it as I am not a fan. Very tempting though.
That is weird. Xbox only supports Netflix streaming Dolby Vision anyway, which your TV can already do on its own.
Store in Holland.
When you go their site and look at the TV the price is crazy high. However the big difference is when you just call them up and ask about a personal deal. And most of the time they come with really good deals. It's now extra crazy good because of black Friday and on top of that the cashback from Samsung which is almost over.
Wait, what is this cash back from Samsung? How do you get that?

No idea about outside of Holland but these are the offers for Holland. :)
You just register your TV and fill in serial number and all that.
Can anyone shed light on my question re the Samsung game motion features?Guys. Black friday craziness. I need some help! Moving so am looking to go bigger from my 55" TCL P605 I got last year.
NU8000 65" for $1,000
NU8500 65 for $1,100 (same as the above but curved)
Vizio P 65" for $900
TCL 6 65" for $900?
What do I choose?!
For the NU8000 I am intrigued by FreeSync and the Game Motion Plus technology. I have an Xbox One X so I guess that supports FreeSync, and it seems like all games can benefit from GMP. I have see varying opinions online from folks about how much they like GMP. Would love to hear input from you guys. Also kinda into curved model but maybe just a gimmick? I want this tv to feel theatrical FWIW
For the Vizio P it seems to just flat out have amazing reviews, but I'm a little worried about the interface being slow & HDR performance.
TCL 6 has Roku TV which I have honestly fallen in love with on my current one. It has worse reviews than the Vizio P though.
Hypothetically if I wanted to go 75" what models should I be looking at?
That's an insane deal. The Q9FN is still $3000 here in the US. No special Samsung deals.

I'm officially inside the OLED space.
Bought these two babies recently, they ended up costing $5500 together which I've got a steal deal, their combined retail price is $9000. Yes electronics are fucking expensive here in India.
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.
Amazon offering 10% back on the 65" C8 if you order with an amazon card.
Anybody think I can get Best Buy to price adjust my tv? If not, I might return it and go through amazon

Is that 10% points back or 10% extra odd the cost? I have an amazon card and everything I buy I get points (free money essentially) back on all the stuff I buy but it's either usually 3% or 5% I think. So curious if that's what this is but boosted to 10% or an extra 10% of the purchase item?
I think I will get the Visio p series 65 inch. What do I have to specifically check the panel for in the 'panel lottery'? And how do I check it? Play a movie?
i personally wouldn't check out of the box. buy it. set it up. use it as you would normally. don't start checking for things unless stuff sticks out to you in normal viewing. once you go down that rabbit hole its hard to unsee even minor issues

Hm. The only issue is that it's a Christmas present. So if I wait that long, it might be hard to get a replacement if there is a flaw.
That C8 was just showing the still images that come up when you have no input connected or turned on lol, they look pretty but nothing like a showroom video.
They probably just forgot to turn on whatever demo they have for it.
Absolute insanity indeed. The thing is, if you just go to their site you will see 3000 euros as well. That is until you call them up, ask for a special deal or in this case black Friday and at the moment it's 2099 euros. But even without black Friday last week they had it up for 2300 euros.
where are you buying it from? usually the holidays have extended return periods
