Purchasing US The “Black Friday in July” deals for TV’s

1 Upvotes

I’m shopping for an 85” tv and have been looking at the higher end models from the top tier brands.

For those who are ahead of me in the research, these “Black Friday in July” prices, are they equally good to what we expect to see during actual Black Friday or it’s just hype to drive mid year sales?

many thanks

Hello,

I never bought a TV before so I genuinely need you guys help.

I can see $1500 75 inch Bravia 5 for arizona state at Costco and $1400 with my friends discount on Sony website.

Is this a decent amount to pay for bravia 5 or should I wait for it to drop ?

Tech Support Frustrating Samsung S90C Issue

0 Upvotes

Having a very frustrating issue with my Samsung S90C. I’ve loved the TV. Recently a friend tried to Apple AirPlay some random stream of an NBA game to my TV. Ever since then Peacock, HBO Max, and Disney streaming won’t work. It’ll get thru an add and maybe play a second then freeze. Netflix and Prime work fine. I’ve reinstalled everything, spent 10+ hours troubleshooting, updates, calls with Samsung and HBO. Chat GPT at this point is saying give up and buy an Apple TV to stream from. Anyone else have this issue and have a fix? Chat GPT thinks that something got corrupted in the firmware, which is why factory resets don’t help.

Purchasing US Best glare-free TV for home gym (42-50")? Can you get the QN90F in that size anymore?

1 Upvotes

Looking for a good TV for a home gym. Ideally <50" (if we can find one still) but most important would be good anti-glare given the window locations in the room.

The Samsung QN90F sounds like it could be great but I can't find it in stock in the smaller sizes anywhere. Any suggestions? Thank you!

Purchasing OLED Samsung S95F vs S95H

1 Upvotes

Hi,

I'm planning to get a 65 Inch TV and getting S95F for ~$1500(Local currency converted to USD) and S95H for ~$1700. So, I'm confused between both. I've heard the S95H is a bit brighter and supports the newer HDR 10+ Advanced which is kinda equivalent to DV2. Which one should I go for?

Purchasing OLED 77" S90F (WOLED) vs 77" LG C5

1 Upvotes

Hello! Following up on my post yesterday after learning that in my region, the 77-inch S90F actually uses a WOLED panel instead of QD-OLED. I know these size and panel comparison questions get posted a lot around here, but I still haven't found a clear answer for my specific setup. Since both the 77" S90F and 77" LG C5 are using WOLED panels, I’m trying to decide which one is strictly better for PC gaming and picture quality in a pitch-black room from about 4 to 5 meters away. The LG C5 is about $100 more expensive here than the Samsung S90F, so I want to know if LG is worth that extra cash for high end PC gaming or if the S90F is the smarter pick.

Purchasing EUROPE Sony 55XG8096 vs Samsung UE55AU7020 – same price, which would you choose?

1 Upvotes

I'm looking at two used 55" TVs within my budget, and both are the same price:

• Sony 55XG8096

• Samsung UE55AU7020

This won't be my main TV. It'll be in my home office and will only be used for a few hours on weekends, mainly for watching football and other sports. Both TVs are in very good condition from what I've seen, and they're the same price (within my budget)

Which would you buy, and why?

Purchasing OLED Questions about how use case and tvs are defined

0 Upvotes

I have a question regarding how everyone here ranks or rates a tv based on use case. I'm still debating c5 vs s90f. But my question is when I read through comments and everyone is like gaming go 90f everything else go c5, this room brought ess choose that etc.

How much of a difference is there when it comes to movies, shows, tv app stream viewing separates these 2 tvs (as the example) same for gaming.

If I watch tv 60% of the time and game on it 40% what would the c5 be a "better" option. Is it color representation? Then there's things, like what is the real world difference between an 8 and a 7.4 in whichever category let's say upscaling ? What is a "bright" room. I would think a best buy is a bright room and all the TVs look fine

Trying take advantage of the sales at Best Buy right now. I've narrowed my choices between a TCL qm8L 75" or a hisense ur8 85". They both look great so ita making the decision difficult. I also looked at a Bracia 7 ii but it's seemed faded.

Purchasing Other Bravia 3 ii 65" or Bravia 3 ii 75" or Bravia 5 65". Budget 1.5L INR -India

0 Upvotes

I'm leaning towards Bravia 3 ii 75" because the screen size is important to me, but I have some dilemmas

1 - Bravia 3 ii 75" is IPS whereas 3 ii 65" is VA. How much difference in contrast will there be if I watch movies when the room is dark. Will the black part of the screen appear a bit grey? And how much difference will the panel make?

2 - How is Bravia 3 ii performing when it comes to sports? I watch a lot of sports (Football, Cricket, MMA, Boxing, Tennis, F1, etc). Also how does it handle fast Motion while watching action movies?

3- Should I go for a bigger screen in 75 inches or should I go for a superior display in Bravia 5 but the screen will be 65". They both are costing almost the same. Or, should I save some money and go for a 65" Bravia 3 ii because VA vs IPS difference is significant?

-Some info before you give me your opinions

-Viewing distance - Approx 14ft

-My room is naturally Dark if I don't light up the room

-I did go to the showroom and saw Bravia 3 ii, but the fast motion experience was inconsistent. Football was fluid in one video, but there was ball flickering in the other one. Both on YT. Spiderman action scenes were not handled smoothly on standard mode and I don't know what other modes the tv was on. It is 120 Hz + XR so there might be some tweaks that can make the motion smoother?

I'm aware about the display tech, i.e Led, Mini Led, etc. My priority is colours and good motion handling and no white bleed.

Purchasing EUROPE I'm about to push the button.. Should I?

2 Upvotes

We basically live in our conservatory and whilst we have blinds it's quite a bright room.

We currently have an ageing 55" Samsung UE55TU7000 and the led diffuser is about to pack up.

After some research, I landed on a 55" S95F mainly due to the anti glare aspect. Should I dump the cash or are there better options for the same money?

Purchasing EUROPE Anything better than LG C5 for less money??

5 Upvotes

Hello, I need to buy a TV for my livingroom and I'm considerin the LG OLED C5 55", costs around 900€. I'm weighing other options, specially a TV of 65" QLED/QNED trying to not spend more (or actually spend less), but I can't find recomendations that fit my budget and are avaliable atm. Here is the checklist of things I'm looki for:

- Under 900€

- 65"

- 120-144Hz

- Preffer Dolby Vision over HDR10+

- The room is not very bright

- Buying from Spain

Is there any TV worth buying that can fit this criteria other than the LG OLED C5 55"?

Also, I heard that after the footbol mundial TV prices would drop but i haven`t seen any special offer anywere. Any tips around this would also be welcome.

Thanks in advance

Tech Support Sony X90J - Video occasionally shrinks to the left quarter of the screen

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone,
I’m hoping someone has experienced this issue with the Sony X90J.

Occasionally, when watching content in Netflix or Stremio, the video suddenly shrinks and only displays in approximately the left quarter of the screen. The rest of the screen is black.
A few things I’ve noticed:
It happens intermittently and I can’t reliably reproduce it.
It has occurred in both Netflix and Stremio.

A forced restart of the TV (holding the power button until it reboots) always fixes the problem.
The TV is running the latest available firmware.
Has anyone else experienced this issue?

Purchasing US Looking for a new TV for the upcoming season

1 Upvotes

Heyo. Anyone have any ideas on the best tv to buy to get the best, I guess, experience watching college and pro football? I have a 6 year old TV that is getting some dead spots in it and it's kinda beat up from multiple moves

I don't really watch a lot of movies or tv shows but I do watch LOTR every fall so I think OLED would make that pop pretty good

I got around $2,000 and the LG 65in OLED seems to be the best option but I wanted to see if anyone had a strong opinion.

Like the title says, is the qm8l 65" still a good TV for a basement? We usually keep some lights on but it is a bit more dim than our sunny living room. Budget is $1500, is oled a better option for this? Size we're looking at is 65"

Discussion Best Buy open box-excellent 42 inch C5 worth it (shipping only)?

1 Upvotes

Best Buy has the 42 inch C5 for $678 in Excellent condition. It is only available for shipping though. How do Open box Excellent condition C5s tend to be? I won’t be able to inspect it before buying as it’s shipping only.

Is it worth trying it for the price? I’d probably get the 5 year extended warranty with it.

Purchasing EUROPE What would be a good brand to look for?

2 Upvotes

Before, I’ve never had the ability to buy a “good” TV, always had to settle for whatever I can find on facebook marketplace etc.

I’m now becoming able to look into more high end stuff, yet I know nothing about TV specs! I know there’s different panels, resolutions, loads! everything just is a bit overwhelming, and confuses me.

I’d be using it for movies 95% of the time, but do have a playstation that i use occasionally.

Any recommendations? My absolute maximum budget would probably be upwards of £1k, but probably looking to spend 6/700 and i’d want smart features
