murder edge lit - large ones yes.

murder FALD - i don't think so.

don't get me wrong it will be better than FALD but it won't murder it by any means. especially the ones with hundreds / thousands of zones.

I think it will trounce FALD as well, this program will surely show all the downsides of that technology. Not many have thousands of zones either, most are a few hundred and others (like the very popular XF90) have far fewer than that.

yeah one specific program shot in the dark. that only nature enthusiasts will ever watch.

it's a bit like comparing vauxhall - edge lit to aston martin - fald to ferrari - OLED.

yes ferrari will murder edge lit. but it won't murder an aston.

just because something is better doesn't meanit will murder everything else.

it's better in 1 specific area. which rarely exhibits itself. OLED in tv form has been around for what 5 years now? and only now we have a show that will show how good it is? that just shows you how specific the criteria is to exhibit how it is better.

it won't be murdering any FALD even ones with 50 zones. it will be better but better doesn't mean it will thrash everything below it.

my mate just bought a £3K samsung FALD. it's 75 inch. that will murder most peoples OLED in terms of size then as a 77 inch oled is like £6K-£10K
 
Sorry if this isn't the right thread, but what's the best out there at sub £800 for a 4K 65" at the moment, I really know nothing about TV's at all (I hear terms like QLED or OLED but no idea so just looking for best at price point if poss lol).

Why can't we get these deals?

H8G Series will be available March 2020 for $399.99 (50”), $499.99 (55”), $699.99 (65”) and $1,399.99 (75”) MSRP.
- 90 LD zones, 700-nits peak brightness
H9G Series will be available April 2020 for $699.99 (55”) and $999.99 (65”) MSRP.
- 180 LD zones, 1000-nits peak brightness
H65G Series will be available Q2 2020 for $269.99 (43”), $299.99 (50”), $329.99 (55”), $479.99 (65”), $899.99 (75”) and $1,499.99 (85”) MSRP.

Tell you what, for a big arse gaming/lounge (for sports) setup that doesn't take itself too seriously, I can live even with the LD-less 85" for $1500. Heck, the current 85" option is a Sony XG8596 and that would be closer to $2800. That's a BIG difference and I doubt there's much difference between the two. Siiiiigh.

Do they simply not sell these model types in the UK? My bought-for-£35 1080p hotel TV broke yesterday so it's finally time to buy our first 4K TV. We don't want to spend more than £300-400 and I have just come across Hisense which seem to make some decent budget TVs. The H8G 50" looks perfect and even the predecessor - H8F but I can't find the latter in the UK yet.

Everything TV in Europe Hisense/TCL is different from what they sell in the USA (and almost always worse).

Thanks for the quick reply. Well that sucks as the H8F/G ticks so many boxes, I found a UK site that sells the F but even before I read their Trustpilot reviews, it screamed scam!

Hmm 75" XG950 launched at $3299. Saw some get snagged for ~$2300 later on. Wonder if we can expect 75X900H to sell for closer to $1500 later in the year? That would be something! Ofc just change $ to gbp/euro for us.

This years Samsung’s are a joke. They are no better and in many cases worse than last years sets.

Last years models are the ones to go for still imo, especially at the prices. The new flagship Q95T is actually slightly worse than last years Q85R. 65” Q95T for £3000 v 65” Q85R for £1600. I know where my money would be going. Plus the Q85R comes with a decent Samsung 2.1 soundbar worth £270.
 
Keep price in mind when comparing. Yes, for gaming Q60R has an advantage with 120hz & VRR BUT Q60T has better contrast, better brightness, better grey uniformity, much better black uniformity & PWM frequency 600 vs 240 (though still gimped for PC @ 120). Even for gaming if you just stick to 4K then 120hz panel won't really make a difference and freesync range is 48-60hz, so rarely useful even on PC and even then only if you have AMD GPU.

Meanwhile, price is 55" $699 vs $1199 (MSRP). So I'd say it's a very strong proposition! And believe me, I hate on Samsung more than most, but this is a good showing.

Maybe the lower end models are more worthwhile, but the higher ends definitely aren’t.
 
Hey,

Self Isolation is coming so I thought I'd advance getting a new TV haha

I've got ~1200 to play with and looking for a 55"
Watch streamed content and play PS4 and PC (Red dead/skyrim type games)
Any suggestions?
I'll want to wall mount it if that makes a difference
