Sorry don't know much about TVs but what makes this better?

My 2 cents, Hisense = Kia or hyundai and Sony = Honda or Toyota in build quality. Sony has the the better color processor and upscaling, while Hisense is only has 8bit processing. Hisense does give you more goodies for the price, but build quality is suspect from all the reviews I read. I would lean towards the Sony x90 at the $999 or below price But I may be biased as I am currently using a Sony1080p 65" that is around 10 years old(Have had zero problems with it). OLED is the way to go, but I watch too much business channels and sport shows so OLED burn in kills those for me Frown

No local dimming? Maybe this price for the x90
This price for the X90 would be a total steal. When the X90's hit 999 they're fantastic value

To an extent, But I have ticker symbols and sports headlines scrolling across my tv for around 8 to 12 hours a day. Pretty much rules me out on the OLEDs . My ultimate goal is to score an x95 Sony for aroun $1400, but that might be a pipe dream in the 65" arena Frown

They hit their "normal" price of $999 every couple weeks or so. $899 would be a slick deal on the x90. Maybe when the new models start hitting the shelves it will happen, but then I will want one of those instead and the waiting game will continue. Hence, Why I still have a 10 year old Sony Wink

Seems the x90 is comparable to an OLED. Thanks again. Wouldn't have considered until I read these posts

Wait for the Costco one to drop to 999.99

That's the price I paid a couple of weeks ago. That seems to be final sale price for a new X90CK. Looking back on last years X90J sale prices, the lowest it went was 920 not including YMMV manager specials.

I don't notice the blooming issue many write about and the contrast is amazing. Viewing angles are poor being a VA panel. Other than that, I'm fairly satisfied with the purchase.
The 75 inch X95J was down to $1298 at Walmart last December. That was a hell of a deal and I would have got one, had I not got my 75 inch LG B2 OLED for $1699. It seems like end of year is best time to buy, if you can wait.

I have this and while the picture quality is great for the money, the Google TV functionality is garbage.

There is a known issue with the wifi on these TVs requiring them to be unplugged/restarted often. Wish I had known this before I bought one.

Burn-in is an almost non-existent problem these days. It hasn't been a problem in a few years. Especially not with the C2. Every C2 that shipped starting at the second quarter of last year has an EX Evo panel, which makes it NEARLY impossible to get burn-in. I say nearly, because there's always a slight chance. It's very rare, though. The EX Evo is not the same thing as the Evo.

It also has several safety features like screen move. It slightly moves the screen a little bit over time. It's completely unnoticeable. It also has optional logo dimming and a pixel cleanup that happens automatically when you turn the TV off after every 4 hours of accumulated use (or you can manually activate it if needed). I have a C2 that I got last November. I have 2,000 hours on it. Many of those hours are the TV being left on an idle image. I do a mixture of gaming and movies. Primarily gaming. I have it on for hours on end, every day. If I don't have plans, that thing is on all day. I'm not the slightest bit worried about burn-in.

It's time for talk of burn-in to stop. People keep spreading misinformation or old info on it, without knowing what they're talking about. There are so many articles on why burn-in isn't a something to worry about anymore. To be clear, I don't mean you're spreading misinformation, but because of other people's misinformation, it led you to be concerned about burn-in.

Update: Lol. Here we go again. People who don't know anything about current OLED tech, downvoting my factual comment. Whatever. People can keep missing out on an amazing TV, because they want to believe outdated information.

I was having this issue with wifi and certain settings reverting to default before the latest firmware release. It was super annoying, but it is a champ now.

I chose this model specifically over OLED because of burn in risk. My friend's C1 got burn in from Rocket League menus and LG support was a pain. It is unfortunately still a thing but nowhere near as prevalent as it used to be.

I agree with you. Insular Tech types I've known are overly risk averse, so they'll shoot themselves in the foot to minimize risk. But then they'll preach their overblown assessment like it's the gospel.

If you don't want to get the best TV then don't get it. But then don't go around telling people how it's not the best TV when everyone knows it is. 🙄

Absolutely agree about us risk averse folks, and while I love this TV for my gaming purposes and budget, OLED has an objectively better picture.
