PS5 thread 2.0

Apparently this CS6 is the same oled panel as the C1. Was available for under 1000 euro a few days ago in the bargain alerts forum. Posters there reckon C2 is slightly better but not worth the difference in price. What do you reckon would be a good price for a C1 55 inch?

That's coming up as 1089 for me which seems a good price for a 55 inch if it's as good or thereabouts as a C1.

I got a 48 inch C1 for about that price over a year ago.

Brilliant TV for all content especially games. Gorgeous. Everything just works out if the box with game consoles. No messing. All features, formats are there for VRR, HDR, high frame rates ...

But it really showed up juddering and poor response times on some 30 FPS games for me. Might not be an issue for you.

Also, these can't really be used for computer monitors as those interfaces have loads of static content (burn in).

Also the UI on the C1 is slow, but it's only used for launching apps.

Check out DID, Harvey Norman, ...

Also, get (free) home delivery if you can. If you do pick it up yourself it really should be stored standing up in the car and not flat. Which is very awkward for a small car. Just Google how to properly transport it, if you are going to do it yourself.

Edit ...

From an OS point of view newer TVs will have longer OS and app support.

Also, as someone said prices will drop when new versions come out, so if you are not in a hurry ...

Also, the TV shops have sales every bank holiday... so stay calm ...

Also, if they deliver and break it, it's their fault. I picked mine up during covid and never thought twice about leaving it flat in the car. I even had a free delivery option. Impatient person I am. But it was fine. Wouldn't do it again though. 🤣🤣

Great TVs. The newer games look stunning on them.

Any advice for something a bit smaller lads? Mate of mine asked about getting something between a 27" and a 32" for his bedroom as it's a small room but that dips into the world for monitors for me as well as TVs and I've only really dealt with the 55" and bigger TVs the last year or so?

I was hoping the 55 C1 would come close to €1k but it seems it's hard to even find it now. Suppose I was dreaming. C2 55 is a good price but it's supposed to be ever so slightly inferior, something to do with tones. Probably wouldn't be able to tell the difference.

See, buying tv's is no longer straight forward! Which is why I'm adamant on the C1, because it still has the best reviews for the prices. Keep doing the lotto, maybe someday I'll win and get the Formovie Theater Projector and Elite Screens 123" Aeon CLR ALR Screen!

About a fifth of the way through

Yeah it will start to feel overly long if you do all the side stuff religiously, I was doing that but was getting weary so just focused on story and it got a little tighter, had a quick blast of side stuff but got repetitive quickly.

Yeah, no it's not. Wait until you finish the game to make a judgement

May end up getting the platinum, is it similar enough to the first game where you can just do it all afterwards? If there is not a spoiler-free way of answering then just leave it.

Yeah it's all still available after the story, and some things only become available after the story too.

I would do whatever side stuff you want to do before the story ends, especially actual side missions (rather than collectibles, large enemies etc). It just makes the story and relationships with NPCs flow better.

Nice!! Congrats man!

Sony CES press conference is at 5PM PST tomorrow (so 1am Thursday our time).

Seems they'll have PSVR2 there but probably not much else from the Playstation side.

Fair enough. I only really use it for non Euro online purchases, the rate is much better than the bank with no currency fee other than that I find it a bit annoying having to keep porting funds.
