LG CX or Samsung Q80T

Similar price these two, so which should I go for?

I have a Series X but I don't really have any 4k content to watch.

CX - I preferred the picture.

Where would be the best place to go see them side by side once the lockdown is over?

£1299 for a TV is still a very difficult pill to swallow, even if doing 24 months repayment.

I'm referring to having an XBOX Series X, my current TV is a Panasonic TX-50CS520B

I wasn't sure why you had excluded Sony xg/xh, or panasonic 940 (all FALDish) from your consideration

I was looking for 120hz/VRR features as well, the models you mentioned were not showing whne I specifically searched for tvs with those features.

Why are you considering the above 2 TV's then?

As someone mentioned above. What price would you be happier with?

Thing is I don't want to compromise, if I went with QLED, I have FOMO of OLED, but then the worry of burn in may prevent me from fully enjoying the TV as I don't want to have to think about playing games with static HUD elements for hours at a time.

I want to experience HDR, but again, I don't want that to be diluted by a poor peak brightness, I want 4k/120hz/VRR for the Series X and FALD Dimming appears to always create bloom no matter how many zones it has.

If the q80 would go under 1k that would be ideal.

Apparently VRR is never coming to the Sony models.

The X900H is getting VRR. Was the recent kaffaffle of course, but that was put to bed when Sony confirmed models like the X900H are getting the support. Caveat being there is no timeline.

I wouldn't want to buy a TV on the promise of a feature arriving at some point really!

Think I'm going to stick with my Panasonic TX-50CS520B, the MVA panel has higher peak brightness than Oled, 5500:1 contrast and viewing angles are way better than VA screens.
