Question time (sorry)
Would the C9 still be worth purchasing around April or do LG release newer models at that point? Also, how is the sound? We are thinking between the 55" or 65", if that makes a difference, and wondering if a Soundbar is needed. Say it has Dolby Atmos but wondering if we should also budget for a soundbar
I just bought a 65" C9 this weekend coming from a ~2013 Samsung 46" ES7000 is seems quite a step up and might give you an idea as to the level I am used to, no sound systems for me I just use the TV or headphones, I went OLED for improved viewing angles and might do some gaming, I am finding the sound pretty good on the whole, the faux 3dness can be impressive but can also be really bad on some services which carry old programs like Amazon Video and it can get the sound quite wrong loosing voices in the overlaid music, in this case I just disable it.
For me coming from something quite old comparatively, I feel it has very good sound, more than I need, and doesn't need a soundbar, in fact the whole screen is more than I need, I should probably have bought 55”, 65” is a massive increase, didn’t look so bad in the shops
I am sure it’ll be fine on a lower TV cabinet, so need to find a lower (perhaps 45-60cm) and longer (2m) unit, is there a cabinet thread
