LCD or OLED? - The TV Thread

[Stroehms]

It's been a long time since I've looked into purchasing a Tv (2018). In the past, I've gone with the second tier Samsung tv's (Series 8). I watch sports, movie and video games and am looking to upgrade to a 75" + screen size up from my current 65 inch set. I'm not really in a rush to make the purchase and have heard it's best to avoid some of the TV deals during Black Friday sales.

What are the new buzz words or features I should look for in a new tv?

Thanks, fellas.

If money isn't an issue and if you ever plan on getting a PS5 Pro, I would look into 8K TVs. If not, then an OLED will do. Can't go wrong with either a Samsung, LG or Sony OLED.

Far as buzz words:

HDMI 2.1 is key.
VRR
4K 120HZ

I wouldn't avoid the Black Friday Deals. Best Buy have some good deals on their top of the line OLEDs currently.

77" LG C4

If $2,199 is out of budget I'd post what your budget is.

OLED
QD-OLED
HDMI 2.1
VRR

Bright-Room, you'll probably want to look at a Mini-LED like the Sony Bravia 9
Light-controlled: Samsung S90D, LG C4

I'm looking for a massive upgrade (77" and up) as well now that I have the PS5. $2,199 is well within my budget.

Would say the difference between LG C4 and B4 is vast when it comes to picture quality? I get to see them side by side in coming weeks.

Also want to get a look at the Sony A95L and the Samsung S90D

You posted this a long time ago but I've recently been pondering the same question. RTNGS has a comparison between the C and B series LG OLED.

I'm thinking of getting the B series to replace my 27" 60HZ monitor from like 2016. I don't need much, just something that can do 60 frames at a decent refresh rate and has HDR. I would mostly use it for my PS5 so pretty much anything would be an upgrade.

Check out this video I found:




So I'm hoping to buy one of these soon. Right now they look about $400 cheaper for the LG B4 48".


My 65" TCL budget TV also recently died in my entertainment room. It made it about 6 years before the backlight went out. I'll try to find something cheaper to hang on the wall for it. What is funny is I have an old Toshiba Regza TV from around 2010-11 that gets used daily in my house and it's still kicking just fine with no issues.
