LG C3 vs S90D

Hello!

Currently having analysis paralysis...

I have both TVs on order (both 77 inches). I'm trying to decide which one I want to upgrade to but I have my place holder orders in and I'm just going to cancel one of them when I decide.

I have the the 77 S90D from Samsung direct @ $1578

And the 77 LG C3 from BestBuy @ $1577

I currently own a 77 LG C1 and have owned a couple other OLED models so I'm not a stranger to OLED. Since ownership of my c1 my main complaints have been color vibrancy and brightness. Both of these models should be an upgrade in brightness and I know the Samsung will be an upgrade in color vibrancy and brightness.

My worries with Samsung are QC, longevity, and processing/motion but it sounds like it has what I want. I'm just afraid to stray away from LG since my c1 has been solid and I like the Wii remote but will the c3 even be much of an upgrade?

I stream movies/tv 90% of the time have an Xbox series x, and very rarely play blu rays.

I'm also not totally sold on Dolby vision and don't think it's a deal breaker but obviously I'd rather have it than not.

What are your thoughts? Anyone have experience with both? Hard decision since they're both the same price.

Best TV for netflix and anime?

Budget :

~£1000

My TV use:

90% of my TV use: watching netflix/amazon prime/disney plus, streaming anime off of websites such as HiAnime and crunchyroll

10% TV use: nintendo switch/ps5

I am planning to use TV speakers for time being as I don't have funds for additional sound bar but would like to purchase one in future

Which TVs should I consider:

I was considering the Sony A80L. What do people think? Is there a better TV?

TCL QM7 85” or LG B4 OLED 77”

$1800 for the LG vs $1500 for the TCL

Is the loss in size, but gain in OLED worth $300 (even though b4 is entry level?)

So I just ordered the Samsung 75inch q70c QLED. Am I too close?

So I ordered it and still have time to cancel.

I sit about 8ft 4inches or so from my current 55inch UHD and it feels small. This is a great upgrade I’m just worried about being too close for some of the content I watch.

So I think it will be fine(open to opinion) for 4k movies and tv. I worry because I also watch a lot of YouTube and twitch content which will be 1080 a lot of the time.

For those with experience, how bad will seeing the pixels be? Do you personally care? Please help while I have time

I missed Black Friday and cyber Monday - help!

So my wife wants a Samsung Frame 75 inch. And we were going to buy one on cyber Monday, but missed it. Will there be another sale we should wait for or another way of getting one without paying an arm a leg?

LG C4 77" on Greentoe 1899.99 with taxes and shipping + 5 year warranty at 200. Good deal?

So I missed the 1500 C3 deal yesterday. I was able to do the deal offer on Greentoe and it was accepted. I have some time to accept the offer and pay so I'm still shopping for a little. I see some say they got the c4 for around the same price months ago. Is this a good deal or should i keep shopping.

Also, any opinions on Greentoe's warranties or can I buy an extended warranty direct from lg or something?

Also does anyone know of some good sites for price trending. I used to use CamelCamelCamel back in the day, but they only do Amazon and amazons days of doing deals seems to be way behind it.

Also should i just go to my local best buy and costco and stuff. I alway see people saying theyve gotten the best deals by going to the store and just finding something their letting go (open box and such).

i regret buying a TCL… and i need help

yesterday, after what was apparently not enough research, i decided to purchase a TCL 55” Q6-series UHD HDR QLED smart google TV (2024) Now, to be clear the quality of this tv is amazing. my only issue is a lot of features id like are just not available. I’m unable to screen mirror or download apple music.

i’d like to find a different tv that is the same quality and price that allows me to mirror and use apple music. if anyone has any suggestions let me know! i’ve read that samsung and lg tvs do, but they only offer crystal UHD in my price range and i was wondering if there’s even a noticeable difference…

TCL QM7 with 5 Year Best Buy Warranty versus Panasonic W95A with Costco/Allstate 5 year warranty

The QM7 65 inch is currently on sale for $$860 with extended warranty versus the Panasonic 65 inch with warranty for $800 at Costco.

I’ve read Panasonics got good build quality which is very important to me versus all the bells and whistles because I only upgrade every 8 years or so.

Which of these two deals would you go for? I’m using it mainly for 80% streaming and 20% gaming in a dark room.

Going from a QLED to OLED

I recently upgraded from the Samsung QN90 QLED because a row of pixels went dead a year and a half after the warranty. I recently got the LG C3 and it feels less vivid and bright when watching YouTube TV. I’m using the AI personalized setting and even tried sports but it’s too much color. Is it normal to feel like the OLED is less colorful and bright when watching sports on TV?

Sony BRAVIA XR X93L 75" 4K HDR Smart Mini-LED TV - $1199

There website called Greentoe where you can make an offer to several manufactures. I recommend giving it a shot.

Go to the website and look up the Sony X95L 75” or a different model/brand. Give them an offer price and see if they will accept.

The 75” X90L is available for $999 on Woot but it’s refurbished.

4K TV 60 HZ OR 120.. AM I EVER GETTING 120?

I always thought you needed a higher refresh rate especially for watching sports… However I am only watching OTA digital antennae, and apps thru APPLE TV 4K… I know ATV is limited to 60 hz, and most tv transmissions are 60hz… SO, do I ever see 120hz on a 120hz TV?

50-55 inch first tv

I recently moved and I’m looking to get my first tv. I’ll be buying secondhand, and I’m unsure if It’s best ti go with something like a TCL Roku for $150-200cad, or with an older tv )I.e 2016 or 2018) Samsung or Lg, and then get a fire stick.

Would the reliability be better out of a bigger brand like LG or Samsung? Or would it be better advised to go with a 2023 TCL?

Also, is tcl better than highsense?

55 inch vs 65 inch 4K TV for ~8.3 feet viewing distance?

Super confused, hence delaying the decision for a month now. Please help! Is 65” too big for my bedroom and possible to get eye strain? I want to think for the future and ideally want a bigger TV. Just feel 55” might be outdated in a few years.

Thanks to this sub!

Just wanted to say a word of thanks to this sub for helping me pick a new TV. I'm an absolute moron with this stuff and reading posts here has been really helpful.

I ended up with a 65 Bravia 7. Got it delivered yesterday! It's the perfect size and fit for my living room that is flooded with bright, natural light.

Out of the box, I have to say that I'm not thrilled with the picture. I just requested an updated 4k capable box from Xfinity, that should help, no? I'm also going to trek over to the Best Buy tomorrow (where I made the purchase) to ask about what cables (Ethernet?) and stuff I might need to achieve what this set is capable of. Any other advice appreciated, and thanks again, folks!

Too much sunlight in this room?

I was planning on getting a B4, but would I be better off with non OLED TV in a room with a large balcony window?

(similar situation to the first 3 pictures of this link https://www.snimayhome.com/new-design-for-balcony-makes-living-room-bigger.html)

The blinds/curtains are open during the day and I am concerned about UV damage.

I only use the TV in the evening though (also only use it once or twice a week maybe) and could keep it covered with a cloth/dust cover during the day.

Would you recommend a non OLED in this situation?

How much better is a dedicated 4k player than a ps5?

Is it worth getting a dedicated player that ain’t the ub820? Or should I just get the ub820?

LG C4 - QD OLED OR W-OLED?

I've just ordered a LG C4 ( Model Number: OLED65C44LA ), but I can't for the life of me find out whether it's QD-OLED or W-OLED.

I've looked on a website and that states that the 65 inch is a QD-OLED. But then on other sites I see that it's a W-OLED and it seems that QD-OLED is apparently way better. I hope I haven't made a mistake buying this one. I'll probably cancel the order if it is W-OLED.

Upgrading from a qn90c.

Deciding Between a New TLC/Hisense and an Older Sony

As the title suggests, I'm looking for a new TV and I need some Advice. I am looking for something under 800 CAD and these are my options:
Brand new TCL 55" Q7 & Hisense 55" U7 for around 800 CAD or a used Sony 65" X90J.
I will be using it for watching movies, shows, and gaming and I seat about 6-9 ft away from the TV. I do not care much about the size (either 55" or 65"), and care more about the picture quality.
