Hi all,

My brother in law is offering me his lg oled55c6v to replace my current Samsung 48" H6400 1080p set.

should i snap his arm off? Dont know much about these sets.

Hes just bought a Samsung QLED 8k 65 inch set from Costco.

absolutely, yes!

They needed/ wanted bigger and ive not seen it in the flesh yet, but it seems alright from a bit of reading online.

Yeah snap his arm off and take it also make him feel like he did the right thing buying that samsung tv

when personally i would keep the C6.

I sold my 2016 65B6 to a mate for £650 which was about £150 lower than market rate (but mates rates, and he just suffered a personal tragedy)

A free 55C6V is an absolute steal.

8k TV is a complete waste of time but his loss is your gain. This TV would have been very expensive on its release, very generous to give it to you for free.

Agreed

If he wanted a decent upgrade, he should have bought a 77" C9.

It's very generous of him. He's a nice bloke with too much money.

I'm not sure what model he got specifically but I'll check when I visit.

Either way yes happy. And he's not tech savvy so who cares

Ok so I now have the 55C6V and got to say i love it.

SD content the misses watches a lot of, so shes a bit annoyed as it looks quite poor, but HD content and movies and 4k netflix etc looks incredible!

Sd looks great,.I was playing top gun dvd on oppo 983 which scales to 1080p so TV then scales to 4k and it looks good. Some.other dvd with higher compression not so good.

Lotr dvd should look great as low compression

Thats because of compression. Huh compression looks worse than lower resolution
