Quote from sidewinder33625 :
when oled first came out people were claiming perfect blacks...etc. my point is that its a bigger jump going from plain led to miniled than any oled improvements. a night and day difference is actually a misnomer as tv tech has matured enough to the point that there is a difference but not night and day.

you are right, there is no market for larger than 77" oled and most people will never drop original msrp of 5k on this tv. but if it retails for $2.8k like what i just paid for this tv after all, i'm sure that would be bigger market for it.

i thought 50" plasma was huge when i first set it up. then went to a 65" lcd and thought wow what a difference. Now using a 75" and you know where i'm going with this Smilie
I dont think the black levels have changed at all on OLED...the picture processing has certainly gotten better though

Honestly...I think there is more to it than black levels and brightness(in the case of an LCD)
It if wasnt the TCL 8 series would have been a run away seller..because it has levels of brightness and black levels that competed with the TV in this thread for significantly less money
However its picture processing was horrific and thats probably the reason why you can still find 2019 models in some Best Buy stores

Nice. Was talking about sharp Elite though lol.
If I recall correctly the Samsung F8500 was the brightest plasma ever made and it only hit 550 nits

Quote from life4eva :
🤔, A90J cost twice as much…… not sure what's your point……


Ones a Qled tv the others an Oled , they both have their advantages.

Dark room viewing Oled will always be superior , bright room viewing the Mini Led will always be superior.

Oled no blooming, perfect contrast

Mini Led from Samsung Hdr peak brightness

Oled technology is some of the best, Led TVs are doing great as well. Every tv has its place

✌️
I am not sure what your point is...?!
I said OLED's have gotten better...the Sony A90J is clearly on top right now but the LGs have gotten better as well
I think my CX has better picture processing than the E7 I bought in 2018

I guess " superior" depends on what you are watching and your opinion
Depending on how much you value off angle viewing, color saturation and panel uniformity...that could dictate which one you choose

But if you are just just talking brightness...then yes LCD will win...just black levels OLED will win
I just think there is more to the equation than that

And I am comparing panels in my own home...A Sony Z9D, X930E bothof which are both 1500+ nit TV's to a pair of OLEDs I have ....an LG E7 and a CX

But,please tell me about your TV's and what you have personally seen...nod

Here is my take. LG CX may be better TV overall compared to QN90A, but my specific use case is a large window just opposite to the TV. If LG anti-reflection is like my previous TV then no thanks, CX will not work for me...as I will see that window reflection all day while watching tv, and I don't want my family room to be darkened by curtains.
Secondly, my kitchen is adjacent to family room so viewing angle becomes very important as well. Both anti-reflection and viewing angle is better in qn90a compared to lg cx so it is an easy choice for me to pick qn90a. I don't do much night time movie watching where lg cx will excel.

If anyone has situation like me with windows in room and watching tv at high angle (45 to 55 degrees angle) while in kitchen then LG OLED may not be a good choice.

Even if the OLED is better OVERALL (I think it is I own a CX but I bought this TV) this TV is 3400. The cheapest OLED at a comparable size is 6k before taxes? Am I missing why ppl are comparing the two?

yeah no point of comparing 85 inch ones when price difference is almost double.

But for 75 inch qn90a price is $2500 with EPP and 77 inch cx price is about $3200 so 75-77 inch models can be compared but not 85 inch ones.

Ok, yeah it was. The sharp Elite was an LCD though. Very bright.

for top, I see this on their website:
Cash back not eligible on DAV Memory and Monitors, Trade-ins, Digital Flip Chart, DAV, Wall Mount, Commercial Display, TRAY, Storage, TV & Home Theater Accessories, AirDresser

Edit: I confused TV Accessories with actual TV. Looks like top cashback good for TV purchases.

I'm debating between this and 77" c1. The tv will be in the basement and I will mostly be using it to watch HDR contents. So no brainer c1 is the better choice for quality. And lots of reviews mention dirty screen effect is still a high chance. But i been conflicted all week if 85" will give me a more immersive experience for movies. My couch is about 7ft away from the tv.

Add a pair of Galaxy Buds+ and get the whole bundle with the tv for $3124.78 before taxes. Trade in an old headset and get 20 bucks also.

Very good deal. I tried to add the bundle 10% discount but it is not compatible with the Samsung Care 3 years warranty. I can get either the 10% bundle discount or the 3 years warranty for free but not both together.

I end up not getting the extra 10% discount ($275 factor in the earbud cost) but keeping the 3 years warranty. $275 is actually not bad for the 2 extra years. The TV is so big and heavy so I want a peace of mind knowing Samsung will come fix or replace it.
