I have 300euro worth in Vouchers so would prefer to buy locally...

New TVs is one of the hardest decision because of the variety ideally I would like to see them displayed but nowhere has the big ones displayed beside me...

You could always use the vouchers in the supermarket over the next few weeks?

The CX is down to 1,400 or so in most places (DID, PC World) at the moment so definitely worth having a double check for that. Mine arrived the other day and it’s stunning.

Been eying this up for ages but can't justify above 1k for the television heard rumours it would come down to 1000, maybe in the summer with the new releases.

Glad to hear its as good as it sounds though.

id love to have all your money lads forking out €1500 on a tv

im just jealous!

any decent tvs for around €500-€600?

I've never spent more than €800 on a TV but for something that you'll have for up to 10 years €1000+ doesn't look that bad in fairness.

I used to spend loads on a new phone every year or on PC parts :pac:

Yeah actually leaning towards just buying it for 1400 but is it much better than the q90t?

CES is next week and in the 2 months following you'll see some of the best prices, I doubt the CX will hit 1k. Even if the prices drop much further it's going to be hard to get one, and as stock falls prices will start to increases as when they up against their next year version who'll be a lot more; 2021 C11 @ 2k vs 2020 CX @ ~1.3.

Why is the LG CX 48 more expensive than the 55? What am I missing here?

TVs are made in layers with many of these layers being made in giant sheets and then cut down.

2.5m x 2.2m manufacturing processes (standard size and same for many oem display manufacturers) which get's you 6 55" or 3 65" or 2 75" with space for 2 48".

So they only have as many 48" as they make 75", and 65" have a load of waste costing twice as much as a 55" for most components. So the scale for 48" is far lower than that for 55" so cost price is higher.

There plans to move to longer larger manufacturing that will mean that it'll cost practically the same to make a 55" as it does a 65", no idea where that leaves 48"

Going to get harder.

Right now it's LED vs OLED, and then within LED you've VA vs IPS (for the LCD panel type) and the different backlighting for the LEDs edge vs full array and how many zones if there's local dimming.

CES has some news about Samsungs and Sonys new Micro LED screens for this year.

An LED tv is a normal LCD panel with LEDs behind to pass light through and be coloured or blocked (mostly) by the LCD panel, while with Micro LED like OLED it's the LED that's making the light and the colour and like OLED can turn completely off for insane contrast. With some of these designed for slightly worse contrast due to a bit of light bleed due to the LED spacing but substantially higher brightness than a OLED can do, and others that will be made to match OLED contrast and probably still beat them on brightness.

So it's going to be OLED vs LED (VA vs IPS, & edge vs FA) vs Micro LED ( high contrast (OLED levels of contrast) vs high brightness).

Anyone ordered a TV from Currys this week? Bought one on the 4th and no tracking info provided by Currys yet

More fun,

Samsung are using mico LED as backlights for the neo QLED tvs, their none micro LED (same LED backlight currently used) tvs are now crystal UHD, and Sony's true mico LED (ie no LCD panel at all) are called crystal LED.

Bad form. It would put me off buying a Sony TV.

VRR/ALLM are part of the specification for HDMI 2.1 not sure how they're allowed to do that.

Also they're going off one support page that doesn't say they dropped it but no longer lists it. The current firmware v6.4960 was the one that was meant to have it and it's still listed in some of the support documents just prior to the firmware release.

I'd say it slipped and may be in a future update, hopefully like with the 4k@120 issue someone get's an official comment off them. In either case no loss for a PS5 right now as it doesn't support VRR anyway.

I picked up an LG Oled about 2 years ago that will do 4K HDR or 120FPS, but not both at the same time. I'm not planning on upgrading any time soon, it looks gorgeous as it is and the number of games doing 4K 120 natively is going to be pretty low for some time to come.

LG Displays (the actual panel producers) announced a 42" OLED TV panel for this year too. That's where my money would be going (PC and PS5).

Probably going to end up the same as the 48" cost wise or a little cheaper and be close in price to the 48".

They'll get 2 42" made per 3 * 65" or if they replace the 48 the per 2 75".

And still much better value/quality than a high end IPS or VA screen (imo).
