My whole house has 4K TV's except the 28 inch in the kitchen. I have a 4 year old Vizio M series, a 3 year old Samsung Curve (didn't pay for the curve, got it for the same price as a flat screen of that model), and a 1 year old Vizio E or D series. All of them are 4K. But I'm not really watching anything 4K except for a handful of 4K DVD's I have. So I'm not sure if it is worth dropping that kind of cheddar on the OLED 65.
4k =/= HDR/Dolby Vision. So Disney+ is Dolby Vision/HDR, Amazon Prime has a ton of HDR content like Jack Ryan. Totally different beast than regular 4k.
You're killing me here, smalls. I'm trying to show some restraint here! More than likely, I'm getting that OLED in February March time frame.
the onyl time i ever had a problem is when its really windy or the batter dies in the sensor
THE ONYL TIME I EVER HAD A PROBLEM IS WHEN IT'S REALLY WINDY!!
Wow, and you dont find that too big? I'm 9' now and a 50" is fine. I'm looking at 10'-12' and thinking 65" would work.
Nope. But I was on Costco on Saturday. They have the QLED 82 for $2K. I keep picturing it in my basement. But it ain't happening until I get some business deals locked down. The good news is, 2 of them are to be done by the end of the year. Not sure I'm doing this before the end of the year with some hefty expenses in the last 2 months (new deck and new fence), just because of the optics. If the wife sees how much I'm spending, she's going to feel like she can spend like crazy. So no matter what, I'm looking at Super Bowl sale time.
For the price and what you get with the TCL series 6 TVs those TVs are hard to pass up.
The only problem is the inclusion of Roku builds in some obsolescence that wasn't there before. For instance, I've got a 9 year old 50" Panasonic Plasma that we use primarily with Roku. We're on our 2nd Roku...the first one got laggy and was put into backup TV service and has now been obsoleted by Roku. No need to replace the actual TV. What am I going to do in 5 years when the TCL Roku TV in the bar needs the Roku updated? I suppose I could buy a standalone Roku box or stick, but something tells me that I'll want to keep it integrated because its so clean and I'll just upgrade the TV. So they figured out a way to get $200 out of me every 5 years instead of $50. But I'm still happy. Smart marketing.
Can't update the "smart" tv Roku interface like you would with say an app on your phone?
Ok so that is the Q6 series. Not a FALD or full array local dimming display ie edge lit and no local dimming zones. That means blacks and shadow detail won't be as good as that is. FALD is more important that Quantum LED IMO. This is why I went TCL vs the Samsung Q6 series. The Q7 is the series with QLED and FALD and it's more expensive, ie 2k vs the 1300 I paid.
QLED is an LED that has the ability to be more vibrant. OLED is different type of display. OLED is the best display period. In terms of ranking, and not just IMO, read into it on CNET, rtings, etc.
That's what I needed to see. I can get the 65 inch Q7 for $1200 or get the 75 inch TCL for $1300 plus a sound bar. Decisions, decisions
Yes, at least in my opinion. And no matter what you do make sure you dial it in using the Roku app and the expert settings if you go TCL. If not then use the rtings settings for whatever TV you get.
Yeah, I always look up the proper settings rather than try to eye ball it myself and tweak it.
Of course. Until they obsolete the hardware like they do with stand alone Roku units. Nobody does firmware updates past 5 years or so.Bobcat10 said:
You guys buy TV's every time there is a deal. Why you worried about a firmware update in 5 years? You'll have bought and sold that TV twice by then.
Yup, it's like getting a car with a navigation system. By the time you sell that car 10 years later, it looks like Pong.
I've been toying with one, I really like the simplisafe one but you really need to go all in with the security system.
Sound and chat. For Jen's son. He will use it on PC and Xbox One, both single player and multiplayer gaming w/ chat.
