We've been looking for around for ages and went down the OLED route. My lord is the picture on these panels impressive! We went for an LG CX, great that it has both Dolby Atmos and Vision built in, and the difference when playing on the PS4 is night and day. It's hooked up to an LG Atmos soundboard too. Got loads of demo files to show it off properly once the family come round, and now Netflix outputs in Atmos too that's a bonus. Sounds good. Where did you pick the TV up from?

dubbs Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 Got it in Currys because they offered a price match and it came with some free wireless headphones too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the hunt for a new one myself. The one you’ve got is mentioned on A.V. forums a lot. People are saying wait till Black Friday though.

PieFacE Posted July 27, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted July 27, 2020 If you're going to buy a TV, depending on your budget... LG C9 is pretty incredible. Absolutely love mine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last years model was £1098 but there weren't any in stock anywhere. Yes that's our dog (Bear) - taken about 9 months ago when he was a puppy. Been quite ill recently but healthy again now! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you've either got a massive budget OR really really want the absolute best technology, then OLED is worth it. Otherwise, you could probably buy a really good LED TV today, and replace it with an OLED when they come down to a more reasonable price in a couple of years, and you'd still have paid less than if you bought an OLED today. Is your advice still the same 2 years later? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a TV for watching sport, the odd movie, general TV stuff and perhaps a few things from youtube.

Went for something totally different from the list and splashed out on a LG OLED55B8SLC The 65'' proved to be to big for where i wanted to place the tv so went for 55'' Love it. It's a brilliant picture quality and would recommend it. Also bought a Sonos Beam to go with it which is fantastic. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyblade Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 I've got the Samsung N9800 65" from 2018 and for a "midrange" TV it's superb. Invisible bezels, great 4k, decent HDR, not much Dirty Screen Effect if any which makes it great for football, really deep blacks (not quite OLED levels I'd imagine) and really important to me it has very low input lag in the gaming mode, I think it was like 12ms. Just in case anyone is still shopping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCU Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 Gaaah, can someone advise please? Just got back from PC World to get an idea of what TV’s were looking like in person. Did this a few weeks ago and decided to hold off but getting the itch again! Took a note of a couple which I thought looked decent - This being one. Couple hundred off and my partner can get blue light discount which brings it down to about £560. As it is my budget is around £800 so I’ve saved a bit there straight away. My only worry is, one of our sofas will be on an angle when viewing whilst the other will be sat straight on. I’ve read this can make the quality of the picture less appealing? FWIW, this TV will be mostly used for everything (sports, movies, normal TV, Netflix, gaming etc) so looking for an all rounder really. I wasn’t sure the actual model of the TV you guys recommended and whether it was within my budget. I’ll be upgrading from a 40” 7 year old Samsung which has served me well. Looking at a maximum 55”.

Not sure what else is out there so can't really provide any alternatives. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
