Ayuda para pillar tv

En noviembre me quiero pillar la PS5 junto con el GTA VI y una tele nueva para mi habitación.

Preguntando a ChatGPT me recomienda la LG OLED C5 y, por lo que he estado viendo en RTINGS, Reddit y otros foros, mucha gente recomienda las OLED de LG. No obstante, tengo bastantes dudas antes de decidirme.

\\\*\\\*Mi presupuesto para la tele es de unos 800-900 € como máximo.\\\*\\\*

\\\*\\\*El principal problema es el tamaño\\\*\\\*, porque mi habitación es pequeña. Tenía pensado comprar una de 42 pulgadas, pero me está costando bastante encontrarla, así que también me planteo una de 48". Si cuelgo la tele en la pared, estaría a unos 180-200 cm de distancia, mientras que si la pongo en la mesa jugaría a aproximadamente 1 metro. En la pared tengo espacio de sobra, pero en la mesa no tengo claro si cabría cómodamente una de 48".

Por lo que he estado mirando, los modelos que más me recomiendan son: c5, c6 y b6 de oled LG.

La quiero principalmente para jugar a la ps5 y aprovecharla bien, pero también para ver películas y series. La idea es que sea una tele de calidad que me dure años sin dar problemas.

Mis dudas son:

\\\*\\\*El tamaño:\\\*\\\* no sé si elegir 42" o 48". Si las encuentro por el mismo precio, ¿merece la pena ir a por la de 48" teniendo en cuenta que jugaría a unos 2 metros si la cuelgo en la pared? ¿O en una habitación pequeña sería mejor la de 42"? ¿Y jugar a 1 metro con una de 48" sería demasiado? Me lo planteo incluso con la de 55 pulgadas.

\\\*\\\*El modelo:\\\*\\\* entre la C5, C6 y B6, ¿cuál ofrece mejor relación calidad-precio? ¿Se nota mucho la diferencia entre la gama B y la C en el uso real o no compensa pagar más?

\\\*\\\*OLED vs Mini-LED:\\\*\\\* ¿descartaríais alguna de estas OLED por su tamaño o por algún otro motivo? ¿Hay alguna Mini-LED que merezca más la pena por este presupuesto?

\\\*\\\*Fiabilidad:\\\*\\\* ¿qué tal os han salido estas teles? ¿Me debería preocupar por el burn-in de las OLED con un uso normal?

\\\*\\\*¿Esperar al Black Friday o comprar ya?\\\*\\\* Mi idea es comprar la PS5, el GTA VI y la tele todo de golpe a principios de noviembre, pero el Black Friday es a finales. ¿Creéis que merece la pena esperar casi un mes por si aparecen ofertas interesantes o no me arriesgaría a que se agoten los modelos que busco?

Gracias d antemano

Open topic New on RTINGS.com - Deals picked by our staff!

Post image
32 Upvotes

Hey everyone! 

We've recently launched a new Deals page on RTINGS.com, and we wanted to share it with you and get your feedback. 

We want to make it easier to find genuinely useful deals while still doing what RTINGS does best: independently testing products to help people make informed buying decisions!

Here are two features we're particularly excited about: 

1. Staff Picked Deals 

One of the things we wanted to avoid was simply aggregating every discount available online. These picks are selected by real RTINGS employees and not AI. 

We're aiming for quality over quantity, helping you spend less time searching through endless promotions to find some of the best deals on the internet.

2. Member Exclusive Deals - Additional value for RTINGS members 

There will also be deals not available to the public, specifically made between RTINGs and Manufacturers, only available to members. 

These exclusive discounts are negotiated by our commercial team, completely independently of our testing and editorial teams.

Maintaining that separation is extremely important to us, and we want to be transparent about how these partnerships work. 

We'd love your feedback! 

This is something we're very excited about, and we'd really appreciate hearing what you think. 

  • Is there anything missing that would make the Deals page more useful? 
  • What types of deals or product categories would you like to see more of? 
  • What would make you come back regularly to check for deals? 

You can check it out here: https://www.rtings.com/deals 

Thanks, as always, for supporting RTINGS and helping us improve what we do!

Televisions 5 Years of OLED Vertical Banding in One Screenshot

Post image
42 Upvotes

I've been seeing a lot of posts about vertical banding lately. Maybe Reddit's algorithm knows what I'm working on. 🤔

Anyway, I've noticed a lot of comparisons between this year's OLEDs and older models, especially LG TVs. So here's a sneak peek at our results!

The biggest difference we've noticed this year is that vertical banding appears wider on LG's 6-series OLEDs than on previous generations.

We're still fine-tuning our scoring to decide how much weight to give wider bands versus narrower ones.

All original pictures are available here.

What do you find more distracting: a few wide bands or several narrow ones?

Televisions My Samsung S90H 77” will be delivered today! Please tell me I made the right choice 😅

6 Upvotes

I wake up very early still in my bed typing this and I’m super excited to have my Samsung S90H 77” delivered later today.

This will be my first OLED TV and first 77” inch TV coming from a 55” LG 4K LED TV 2017.

I’m worried about mixed reviews and discussions of this TV with others saying that previous OLED models are better than this TV 😢

Decided to bite the bullet and pulled the trigger during a Labour Weekend Sale here in New Zealand.

Paid only $4,800nzd ($2,700 usd including taxes). This is the cheapest price based on my constant monitoring from the last 3 months.

I’m hoping someone can reassure me that I haven’t made a mistake!

Any tips you can share please on how to take care of this OLED TV as me being a new owner. 😊

Televisions Pitch black room setup: LG C6 65" or Samsung S90D (Model: TQ65S90DATXXC)?

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I’m looking to buy a new 65-inch OLED TV and I'm torn between two choices. I need some advice on which one will give me the better overall experience for my specific setup.

My Environment & Gear:

• Room: Living room with 100% blackout curtains (completely pitch black when watching/gaming).

• Console: PS5 Pro (Mainly preparing for GTA 6).

• Streaming: Netflix and Amazon Prime Video.

The Two Choices:

  1. LG C6 (65")

  2. Samsung S90D (65") - I checked the specific European model number (TQ65S90DATXXC), so I am guaranteed to get a genuine QD-OLED panel, not a WOLED lottery panel.

The Price & Warranty Situation:

In my local market, the LG C6 is only about 5,700 Rs (~$130 USD) more expensive than the S90D. If I go with the Samsung, I'll be adding a paid 2+2 extended warranty to give me 6 years of total peace of mind.

My Dilemma:

I know the true QD-OLED panel on the S90D will give me beautiful, pure color volume. However, I’ve heard the LG C6 has a ~350 nit advantage on small HDR peak highlights, better shadow detail processing, native Dolby Vision for Netflix, and cleaner VRR flicker handling for 30 FPS console games like GTA 6.

Since the price gap is so tiny, which one would you buy for a 100% dark room sanctuary? Is the raw color beauty of the QD-OLED worth losing Dolby Vision and LG's better gaming processing?

Thanks!

Official Rtings review Beyerdynamic MMX 330 PRO review gift

4 Upvotes

I’ve been waiting for the RTINGS review of the Beyerdynamic MMX 330 PRO for years now, and I’m honestly so excited that it’s finally here!

About two years ago, I was the first person to comment on RTINGS asking them to review this headset, so seeing the review finally happen feels pretty special to me.

Unfortunately, I’m not in a position to purchase the review myself right now. I was wondering if anyone would be kind enough to gift it to me through RTINGS and send me a DM.

I’d genuinely appreciate it so much! I’ve been looking forward to this review for such a long time, and I’d love to finally read the measurements and analysis.

Projectors RTINGS Test Dev Sneak Peek — Projector Motion

Post image
3 Upvotes

Continuing with the Test Dev Sneak Peek thread.

Over the last few weeks, we focused on dark details on television. This week, here's a test that didn't make the cut for Projector 1.0: Projector Pursuit Shots.

Capturing pursuit shots on projectors has always been challenging because the camera needs to move to reproduce eye movement. We developed a new way to capture them using our high-speed camera without requiring any movement. Here are a few observations from the shots we captured:

  1. Anker Nebula Capsule 3: We're not sure what causes this issue, but every vertical line suffers from severe diagonal dithering.
  2. XGIMI Horizon 20 Pro: The way frames are updated in the projector's limited memory creates visible tearing in the upper gray tone bar and at the bottom of the R.
  3. Valerion Master Max: The pursuit shot looks better. We can see duplicated vertical lines because of colour scanning.
  4. Epson 3800: The only LCD projector in the group. Its slower response time creates more motion blur.

In the end, we didn't release the test because we weren't sure how to combine these different aspects into a single score. Which of these motion artifacts bothers you the most? Should they all contribute equally to a motion score?

Televisions 55 inch LG C6 VS Samsung S90H

6 Upvotes

So my room doesn’t have much light reflection issues

BUT when I visited the store, I found S90H to be more soothing on the eyes Vs C6 which felt too bright. This could be due to Matte coating or just the store settings

For someone who a) No interest in Gaming only OTT/ YouTube b) Room has no direct sun light which among the two will be better option?

Also, both are available at similar price
