Cell 420 Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 (edited) I'm renovating the back living room in my house, currently running power and HDMI 2.1's in the wall so I can wall mount a 55" TV on the wall. (If you guys seen my current setup, in one of the living room's at least, I would probably get laughed off this site. Current TV sucks balls). I have roughly $5-600 to drop on a new TV but it isn't getting me very far. Looking at the console specs and doing a bit of research, ideally I want something with a 120 Hertz refresh but will compromise to 60, as well as decent level HDR and of course 4k. Anyone bought anything good recently? I watched IGN 'buying a TV for next gen video, they settled on a LG OLED C9' I believe. It costs $1300. I just couldn't piss that away on a TV, rather book a Holiday somewhere. Edited June 15, 2020 by Cell Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lynux3 2,052 Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 I won't even think about buying a new TV until HDMI 2.1 is firmly planted into the mainstream. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not that clued up on this shit but it seems like only really 8K is going to utilize 2.1? If so that will take the PS6 or XBOX X SERIES S-X ONE X BOX Edited June 15, 2020 by Cell Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tears of the Cows 1,206 Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 Most brands aren’t out yet with their annual cycle, I’d imagine most new tvs will have hdmi 2.1 by November Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Vini 430 Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 LG oled no doubt. First of all OLED bodies LCD in every way imaginable. Second, LG has the best input lag out of all the OLEDs. It's a no brainer Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Substatic 420 Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 (edited) BTW 55" C9 was on IN-STORE sale at Samsclub for $700 this week. It's not shown in online ads, depends on your specific store so it's a crap shoot. Not sure if it thats a good price for it, but it has some nice stats.

I prefer UW, immersive fov (display 2 feet infront), and much better ms. Just subjective, not really something worth debating. That being said I'll still get one if I can find one on sale, but its not really a priority. P.S. PC won this gen. Edited June 16, 2020 by Substatic Quote Link to post Share on other sites
