Black Friday / Cyber Monday 2020

The only time I can tell TVs apart is generally playing video games or some movies. OLED is not mandatory but the blacks are definitely more black since pixels can individually turn off. For zwift/TR you don’t need any of that fluff

PICKLE RICK!

(This is a complete sentence)

I bought a 65" Sony Bravia two years ago for $1100. It’s crazy that they are $600 now. It’s a really nice set.

I wanted OLED. I can see the difference. The blacks are black instead of gray. It looks gorgeous with the right source. OLED was also $3500 two years ago and I couldn’t justify it.

And watching regular 1080p TV, I could hardly tell the difference. In show rooms they show you an incredible 4K blueray video source and then you can really see the difference. But how often do you buy/rent a 4K blueray?

If you have netflix they have pretty good 4k HDR content that looks gorgeous on OLED.

I was about to write about this. Glad someone else did before I did.
I have a LG 65" C8 OLED.
The only TV that could be marginally better is the Sony OLED Tv.
Anything else is just expensive garbage.

You haven’t seen real black until you watch a movie on an OLED. On a dark room, you can’t tell the edges of the TV. Its really something else.

Comparing a LCD with LED back light tech to an OLED is just pure blasphemy!

Before OLED i had a Panasonic Plasma TV from 2015. Best TV you could buy at that point for a reasonable amount of money. Best blacks on a consumer TV!
I still have it and love. My next TV will be an Micro LED (that’s a real LED tv, no bullshit LCD with LED backlight marketed and LED). Hopefully it will reach market within the next 5 to 6 years.

I bought mine for $2200 in Oct 2018. The panel and processor was the same as the most expensive one. The frame was the real difference.

This year you have even more options.
You can get a VIZIO 55" OLED for $900! Thats a deal if you want something smaller to watch movies.
The 65 CX LG Oled can be found for 1800 - 1900 if you know where to look.

A bit hyperbolic … no?

As I said above, OLED is very nice but it’s a small percentage point improvement over a good LCD set @ 2-4 times the cost.

I’ll be keeping my really nice 2 year old Sony Bravia for the long term.
