LCD or OLED? - The TV Thread

Re: LCD or OLED? - The TV Thread

Scott mentioned some good reasons, as well as remembering no DV support on Samsung.

The Samsung also supports freesnyc, so that should allow you to game without any tearing.

Input lag on Q80 vs. 950G

Thanks Joe and Scott for the feedback. I did take the VRR into consideration with the Q80. Went to BBY with my wife yesterday and we checked out all the sets we were considering and the 950G won out for us just due to the more natural look and of course the X1 Ultimate processor too for the upscaling.

We even got to go into one of our Magnolia sections where they had the 950G, Q80, and 900F right next to each other to kinda see what they look like.

IlThe one thing I do dislike about the 950G is how I feel it’s like at least $200 or so overpriced.

We will check it out and see how things go. We have till I think 1/14 if we don’t end up liking it. What is drawing me to the Q80 is the VRR, the picture actually I thought wasn’t as natural as the 950G especially if you are someone that watches a lot of movies.

I did also a comparison of rtings with both sets and the Q80 does seem to win out.

I wish the 77” OLEDs were at a decent price, those for sure look like such a step above LED. I guess 2019 was pretty stagnant year for TV tech.

I’ve seen the C9 77 inch for $2800 online.. still pricey but a lot cheaper than usual.

I was able to Get the LG C9 for a great price through an authorized dealer for Black Friday. Can’t wait for it to arrive.

Either way, both are great TVs, hope you enjoy it!

Re: LCD or OLED? - The TV Thread

In case you didn't know, LG will do a 1 time repair/replacement for any OLED no matter if it's out of warranty or not for Image Retention or Burn-In.

Here's the number to call if you want to start the process.

Re: LCD or OLED? - The TV Thread

Has any one heard yet when Micro led tv's will start to be in stores to look at? I have not seen any yet on displace any were. I am wondering how much they will cost and what sizes and how good they look.

When they get released, you're looking at probably $20-$30K. Remember how much OLEDs were when they first released? That price. We'll be lucky if there's a single one sometime this next year, you're probably looking at 2021-2023. The Samsung Wall TV is a Micro-LED, it's fully custom order and pricing varies. I know someone did one on AVSForums, he did the smallest version and it was 146" and cost $400,000

Re: LCD or OLED? - The TV Thread

I am thinking more like 2025 for Micro Led. Samsung delaying it and QDLED is going to be next for them.

Wow at that 400,000 price. I now all tech is a lot when its new but i didnt known it was still that far from like being in stores. So like what is the new thing going to be for 2020 when it comes to tv's being in stores? Is it just hdmi 2.1?

OLED doesn’t really have issues anymore. Next thing will be just HDMI 2.1, which the LG OLEDs already have. Unless you’re watching CNN 20+ hours a day, you’re in the clear.

Didn't known that the LG OLEDs had 2.1 already. What is it that 2.1 does? I have only heard a little bit about it.

Basically with 2.1 you will be able to do 4k 120hz when consoles or gpu's start to have 2.1 in their cards and consoles

Next xbox and ps5 will have hdmi 2.1 and so will the next batch of GPU

at that point any OLed from this year and going forward will be able to do 4k 120hz which is amazing

I got a Samsung RU8000 on Black Friday.

Bit disappointed in the viewing angles, as it tapers off significantly if not looking head on...I was able to correct it some thru the settings but still, a tad disheartening.
