I need to slowly back away and wait for black friday since I was so close to say screw it and buy the lg cx 65 inch at 3.2k.
Does anyone know how the TCL model numbers map in NZ? I see a TV like this
www.jbhifi.co.nz
and the only info I can find seems to say that the series is "715" so does that map to a "Series7" elsewhere in the world?

How far are you sitting?
Man I do not understand Samsung's TV engineering philosophy. No matter how many of these videos I watch it doesn't really seem like the engineering changes much whether you're talking Samsung, or Sony, or LG year per year. So I guess you have to choose what method you like. Samsung is good in some aspects, but then you have scenes like at 16:14 where he plays Star Wars Episode 2 (the movie) in game mode to show off local dimming - which apparently in game mode, on the Samsung local dimming is barely engaged. But then you also have the aggressive local dimming outside this mode that crushes detail like every time he shows off that starfield scene in Gravity, yet there are also scenes that are artificially overbrightened which makes certain things that should pop more end up popping less (see 13:15).
The very small bezels make the Samsung TV look much bigger than the Sony. I actually thought it was the 80'' version.
I think I might need to get one just because I need a stand that can swivel. Does it feel sturdy? Even when you are turning the TV?
It feels super sturdy. Really quality material. I often turn tv
Thanks! I too often turn my TV so it seems this is a perfect replacement for the stand that the cx comes with.
Exactly. I bought it for the same reason the default stand is too small and my soundbar was hiding a bit the tv. It takes around 15/20m to make up from the pieces you get and you need two people to put the tv on it
Thanks for the recommendation, I've had someone else mention this TV so I took it as a good sign and went with it.
Should be here in a couple of weeks :] Thoughts on the 4 year warranty for $100? I've never had to use one on a TV before, but it has been a while since I've upgraded.
The guy from the Stop the FOMO channel has this spreadsheet, which I assume gets updated as new models come out. In the 'Gaming' tab, he lists whether the TVs have HDMI 2.1 ports, and how many.
I've never used one of those either but it doesn't seem like a bad deal. I'm also not from the US so I don't have experience with warranties there either.
I would def hold out for the K63 wireless and lapboard it is worth it. I LOVE the thing, it's incredible. Have the Dongle plugged into my front usb port, right next to the dongle for my G502 wireless and I haven't had any issues. It's seriously amazing, if mine broke and I couldn't get another I would probably cry
Edit: the keyboard and lapboard bundles is on amazon for $150 it's in stock. Just buy it you'll love it

Got myself the 65 CX coming from a 55. In a year or four I'm going for that 77 one as well!Playing Spider-Man on my new 77cx. It's so unbelievable. I can't wait for miles morales at 60fps. Damnnnn
Also now I want to play Spiderman again!
I pulled the trigger on it, thanks for the heads up! Wont get here until next week, but can't wait.
It's like a whole new gaming world opened up to me with the CX supporting gsync and eventually 120fps. Guess my next thing to save up for has to be RTX 3080 lol
Just ordered a 55" Sony X900H. Should be here Tuesday. Hopefully they release the firmware update for HDMI 2.1 before the Series X releases. I have a feeling it'll release soon with Ampere on the way.
Awesome Tv. If only the wife would let me go 77. What type of stand are you using?Playing Spider-Man on my new 77cx. It's so unbelievable. I can't wait for miles morales at 60fps. Damnnnn
Any good setting changed for sports? With Football back today and my first OLED (CX), not sure if i should keep using the Bright Room setting or Sport setting (which seems super bright), or maybe something totally different?
I know it's intended for the K63, but it's such an old keyboard at this point. Will any tenkeyless KB work with the board?
Seems to be intended to be used with K63 since it laches specifically into it.
Looks like TCL is coming out of nowhere with QD-OLED this year.

Fitueyes 40-80 inches. I got the 32-65 as well for my 65c9 in bedroom
So I'm in the market for a new TV for PS5. I'm on a budget so 500€ to max 800€. That's not a lot so I know I won't get an OLED. Only things I really need are 4K and decent HDR. (My roommate bought a cheap Samsung 4K TV with really bad HDR so I'm kinda scared about that.)
I'm in Germany and looking for 55 inches. Don't care about other functionality as I'm gonna slap a chromecast on the thing and call it a day anyways.
Amazon recommends this thing, but I really have no clue
Does anyone have some directions?
Anything else I need to look for the TV to be "PS5-proof"? (HDMI versions, VRR that sort of thing? don't know anything about it)

Super curious about these tv's, JOLED uses RGB oled vs LG WOLED so that's cool. Curious if the ink jet printing process for oled can improve uniformity, like banding and tinting, and ultimately if it's more than a budget version of WOLED.
Are there any decent 3m HDMI 2.1 Cables available yet (UK)? Can't seem to find any big brand ones and not sure on the other brands. Wanting to do my cable management now so i can just slot the new consoles in when they come out, but if i have to wait i'll have to wait don't really want to secure all my cables now and then have to dig them out in 2 months to put new ones in.
LG's WOLED with its WRGB pixel structure (which is not required) is a compromise to make it easier to produce.
The white subpixel dilutes bright saturated colors, and compromises color accuracy in real-world images (rather than test patterns).
RGB OLED is better than WRGB, but has its own set of drawbacks: it may not be as bright, and you have uneven wear across subpixels due to the different materials.
QD-OLED designs should be using a single OLED emitter - like WOLED - but uses quantum dots to transform the light from blue (or UV) to red and green, rather than color filters.
This is important because color filters work by blocking light, while quantum dots transform the wavelength of light.
So color filters (WOLED) reduce the brightness of the display - requiring the use of a white subpixel. QD-OLED has the potential to be much brighter - so it should not need that white subpixel.
Using quantum dots should also move the light emission to the very top of the stack so it's right near the surface of the glass - which means that it should have considerably better viewing angles. The only issue is that if you're using a design with blue OLEDs and red/green color filters, that blue OLED material may be unfiltered (like white is on WRGB) - so blue won't have the same wide viewing angle as red/green, and it may not be the ideal blue.
I believe the JOLED, TCL sets, will be QD OLED, so RGB QD. Regardless, seems promising, but it all comes down to how well the panels hold up against burn in (burn out) and then if TCL has decent processing, which they typically don't,

anyone able to chime in on the severity of this "issue"? is it something that may not even be a problem on next-gen system's implementation of VRR?

I'd wait until at least these new NVidia cards are out so people can test that they work. None of them have been tested in the real world yet, so noone can really comment.

Yeah this, was looking into this stuff last weekend and the conclusion was to wait. Nothing is certified. Some may work anyway but others may be rip offs no one could confirm yet since no HDMI 2.1 sources have been available. Maybe the state of this stuff is better in a few months when people have tested 3080s with some stuff as well as new consoles.
That's the previous model (2019) of Sony's entry level model. Honestly, I'd look for something else.
That TV is mediocre at best. It has pretty bad HDR (it's super dim) and also awful contrast. It's an IPS panel (like the one you'd find on most non-OLED phones), so it has OK viewing angles, but everything else is pretty subpar.
The 2020 model of that TV (the XH80 as it's called in Europe) is better; though still not as good as FALD (full-array Local Dimming) VA panels, such as the XH90 or the mid-range QLED TVs.
There's a bunch of TVs in your price range that will offer decent HDR: TCL, , Hisense and Samsung all have models in that price range that are pretty decent, actually. Unfortunately, a lot of manufacturers have different model numbers on their european models so it's kinda hard finding like-for-like equivalents in Amazon.de. I think the Hisense H9G, which has amazing HDR, is called U8QF in Europe.
I'm not sure about pricing in Germany so those TVs might or might not fit within your budget.
As far as future proofing goes, HDMI 2.1 is important for next-gen consoles since both the Xbox and PS5 will support features like Variable Refresh Rate and 4K@120Hz, but most mid-range TVs don't support it, other than the Sony XH90 or the Samsung Q70T.

There is an issue with Dolby Vision and in some cases in Game Mode with VRR. Both are way exaggerated by "purist AV enthusiasts" who spend more time pixel peeping, looking a color and test patterns on their TV than watching actual content. Are the CX series perfect? No, no current or future TV set will ever be. LG will try to patch those in future updates, but there is no guarantee they will be completely gone or won't create new issues.
I've been playing on my 55CX for a couple of weeks with both consoles and PC, using G-Sync and I have yet to notice the VRR problem. It has been confirmed so it exists, but it's not noticeable all the time. The DV raised blacks can be mostly addressed with proper calibration if you have the proper tools or are willing to pay a professional. Otherwise the layman workaround is to reduce brightness from 50 to 49, but that will alter the "artistic integrity" of DV content according to those AV purists, so beware ;)
In the end pick your poison. Buy the TV set you can afford and better suit your needs, knowing that technical issues will be present no matter what you pick.
This is the best part about on OLED in a dark room. It makes it look like you're watching the content in the original aspect ratio since the "black" area of your tv is actually just off.
Yep it's not a deal breaker. But in the few games I've played where the VRR flicker is really pronounced, I do have to disable GSYNC as I find it too distracting.
I use my playstation gold headset with the dongle and it works pretty well, occasionally I get interference though

Woke up this morning, picked up my practice sword and started swinging it. Hit my hip, sword goes flying hilt first into the tv. $3000 gone. It's a Sony, 65 inches don't remember the model.
Whats good these days? I just want a beautiful picture and something that will allow me to play video games with little to no delay.
