Andy-Pandy · 17-03-2021 7:38pm

It was more than I intended spending but it's a long term investment I guess.

My tv is starting to glitch , it’s the xh90. Kind of feels like I’m lagging during warzone but I know it’s not my internet it’s different. Anyone have any ideas ? It’s set to 120hz on 4k, only noticed it starting to happen last night for some reason

I can't say as I've still yet to get the xbox to go with my xh90

Did you mess with any settings to test? Knock it back to 60Hz, any better?

Also make sure you are using the right cable. Ie one that came the series x and that it's not damaged.

Was playing with a 4K hdmi splitter with a 1440p monitor. Ori was fine with it, but Forza Horizon 4 was slow, blanked out and in lower resolution.

Also, had a slow Ethernet connection. Cable replaced and fine now.

Yes I’m using the hdmi cable that came with it. There’s just so many settings between the tv and Xbox I don’t know what works best

Anyone reckon there will be any discounts on 2020 models soon? Most manufactures have new models out shortly and don't want to buy now only for prices to drop in a few weeks. Also many of the new models seem to have micro-leds are other fancy **** (which I've no idea will improve anything :pac:)

Most have been discounted for the last week or so over here (UK). I know the XH90 was down to £800 (I just checked Currys, £770), LG BX was £999 and even a Pana HZ980 I can see now for £940 (with discount code).

Micro-LEDs will be the next big step but proper implementations for a "normal" price are still a couple of years off if what I've read is to be believed

Will micro LEDs be as good as OLED ?

In other news energy usage labelling is changing in the EU, so that A rated 55 LG OLED will now be G rated. A++ etc being dropped and the scale now includes space for super energy efficient stuff to get the A rating. Also screen size and features such as HDR which is an energy hog being baked into the new system.

Mr Crispy · 26-03-2021 6:32pm

Reviews and comparisons for the 2021 TVs are starting to appear now. Looks like the LGs are still the ones to beat at the high end.

However, Panasonic are also doing 48" OLED TVs this year. No idea on pricing yet though.

I'm not sure they'll go pixel for pixel with OLED but a few thousand dimming zones and no chance of image retention/burn in will put them well above OLED in a lot of people's eyes.

I've seen it with fridges only this week. My 2 month old A++ is now E rated. I can't say I'd ever even look at the rating for a telly, possibly better off too considering mine hits 1300+ nits :P

Series X and OLED TV still more energy efficient than alcoholism and divorce

Ordered a new TV from Harvey Normans. LG CX48, which also planning to use as a monitor. No Series X yet though.

Has anyone ordered stuff online from them before and know how long it takes to arrive. Item is in stock and in processing for last 3 days.

I ordered on a Weds and was delivered the following Monday. That was the earliest they had a van coming my way. I did get a call the day after I ordered to tell me this.

I went for a Samsung Q90T QLED last week for a few reasons.

1) I wanted a 65 inche panel. I have been gaming for 6 years on a 55 inche LG but I really wanted to go up to a 65 inche. When you compare the deals on the Q90T versus the cost of a 65 inche CX OLED from LG, I just couldnt afford over 2200 on the LG.
2) I have a young family who love to pause Sky, Disney+ and Netflix while they play, sometimes they could pause a show for 1-2 hours. I was not willing to take the risk on an OLED with the risks of burn in.

I have to say, I dont regret my decision. Its a beautiful TV. There are unreal deals at the moment on 55 and 65 Q80T and Q90T QLEDS from Samsung. You can get a Q80T 65 inche for 1200 which is an absolute bargin given you will get a dedicated HDMI 2.1 port for 4K at 120FPS. The Q80T and Q90T are alot of TV for the price at the moment.

Sure... in an ideal world where I was loaded, id have a 75 inche OLED CX or the new C1 but for practicality and cost, for me the QLED was the safer option.

My CX 48 from Harvey Normans arrived last week. Alas still no xbox 360. Working out well as a monitor on the dining room table while wfh. Used the settings from RTings. Really enjoying Netflix and Amazon prime video on it.

rottie 11 · 13-04-2021 4:45pm

I’m still having issues with my xh90, warzone is pure jittery kind of feels like I’m lagging constantly even though it’s wired, Cold War is fine though! Also the built in Netflix app is bad quality even though I have the 4k Netflix sub, it’s very glitchy and can see shadows when watching anything on it. Any ideas ? I’ve messed around with setting etc but nothing changes. Harvey Norman claim it’s my internet!

To be honest, it sounds like Game Mode or Low Latency mode is not enabled. Make sure you set it when the game starts just to see if that fixes your issues. I had the same issue with my old LG. Turned out one of my kids had changed the picture mode from Game to Eco and I was lagging all over the place until I set it back to Game.

I always play on game mode when gaming. Then on Netflix , there’s a choice of cinema etc or Dolby bright/normal/vivid if the films Dolby vision. Nether of them make a difference. Is it a possibility that the tv is faulty ?

It is doubtful to be honest. If it were me, I would be looking for a firmware update and then also resetting TV back to default settings. Then try again.

I've noticed Warzone graphical glitches a lot the last week or so and that's on a One X and an "old" 60Hz telly that has been fine for years.
I've yet to get a SX to go with my XH90 but have been using it for Netflix and Now and it has impressed me tbh, I wasn't expecting to like it as much as I do - it was bought almost exclusively for the (non existent) xbox

Yes maybe it’s just warzone itself because like I said Cold War is fine. But Netflix is really bad tbh a still picture is great quality but as soon as there’s motion there’s shadows all over the place. It’s actually really annoying at this stage

Possibly faulty. I'll have a check on Netflix for similar in a bit. Got any specific examples for me to check?

Cold War is fine and just downloaded gta 5 I’ll have a check of that later, should I change the Xbox settings back to 60hz when I’m playing a game that doesn’t support 120 ? Or does it matter cheers

Cheers man , it’s glitchy no matter what i watch whether it’s hd/ Dolby vision or 4k but I noticed “the irregulars” was the worst I’ve watched yet

Techspert · 19-04-2021 2:48pm

I have used an LG C9 65" OLED for my XBox One X and now my Series X and it looks incredible. It has HDMI2.1 on all four ports, plus eARC port for my Denon home AV. Doom Eternal at 120fps is awesome. The CX is definitely the way to go.
Watch out for the Sony, it's a great TV, but HDMI 2.1 ports are limited and VRR is not fully implemented and may never be.
Make sure you don't go for the QLEDs or micro LED TVs, they are not OLED and blooming is noticeable. Some people call them the "fake OLEDs".

My LG 48CX from Harvey Normans comes with a 5 year guarantee. But the guarantee card says UK only. Queried it with customer service who said to register it online with LG. Did that, and of course LG site says 1 year manufacturers warranty when I entered my serial number. So who provides this 5 years guarantee. LG or Harvey's. I'm well aware of the law and Irish consumers having up to 6 years to effect a warranty claim. Just want to know who is standing behind this 5 year guarantee. Have queries it with Harvey Normans again.

Meanwhile still looking for an Xbox Series X in Limerick area.

It's not so much that it being sub 55 means anything, but a lot of manufactures will within a range of TVs uses different panels or might just have rebadged another model with some differences to make the smaller ones.

The LG OLED are fine right now and are all the same within a range. LG have PC monitors listed on the roadmap for smaller sizes, and those are meant to be using display they buy in which might differ.

It's really TV by TV, and there can be multiple differences within a line.

The smaller TV could be last years version with a new housing, while the larger version could differ by LCD panel type (VA, IPS) or there might be more dimming zones on the larger ones but the middle one has the larger number of zones but being smaller it's denser.

https://www.rtings.com/

The reviews on here make note of differences between models in a range and between the sizes and counties, as well as any unique models to a region or shop.

Irish consumer rights and a manufacturers warranty are in no way related.

That warranty you have is with LG. Your contract of sale is with the retailer (although they'll try to hide behind the warranty and fob you off to LG). If you get image retention/pixel wear/burn-in outside of a year, LG won't cover you under their warranty (they will fix is for £250 though, nice chaps!).

This matters not as your purchase has to be fit for purpose and reasonably durable under Irish consumer law so if it goes faulty inside an unreasonably short timeframe (<5 years imo) you can most certainly claim for redress from the retailer. You may have to push to the small claims court to do so.

Flaccus · 21-04-2021 12:46am

Harvey's got back to me after emailing the LG rep. The 5 year extended warranty is with them (LG). And don't even have to register. Good to know in case something goes wrong within the time as going the small claims route after the shop fob you off is a pain.

Some do but it's not a rule, in fact I'd say it's a small minority. For example, I know Sony have not put their wide view filter on some smaller high end LCDs in the past - and in that case I'd prefer that option for better dark performance

This is what the 48 looks like set up on the table for work. Put it on a glass riser so can throw the laptop underneath. With the hdmi input assigned to PC, it does proper 4:4:4 chroma so quite useful as a monitor. I have to run windows text at 150% though. I hide the desktop icons and taskbar, and shift the wallpaper every 10 minutes with screen saver kicking in after 30 minutes. Want to avoid burn in for as long as possible. Hoping I will get an Xbox Series X soon. I'd say the TV sound is good enough for gaming at a few feet..

I would change your windows theme (or whatever it's called). Reds (and Yellows) are the worst thing you can have repeatedly appearing in the same position on an OLED screen. That File Explorer window is asking for trouble.

As I said above the wallpaper changes every 10 minutes as does the colors used for the theme. I have 100 plus city wallpapers so nothing stays the same for more then 10 minutes. See example of what it just changed to. I don't see how burn in could occur. Regarding the file explorer window, how do you suggest I navigate the windows file system ? I only open it when I need it and I rarely have any windows open for a long time. That was just an example of PC usage.

Apologies if my comment wasn't clear but I'm solely talking about the red of that file explorer window, not that you shouldn't use file explorer. Repeated appearance of that red bar in that position will eventually wear those pixels

I got a pair of wireless ear buds with the LG OLED when I bought it. It came with good reviews. Never even taken them out of the box. I'll find the name of them this evening.
