Samsung Q80T vs LG CX for gaming?

Honestly the TV is near perfect, black levels are very good, you may see some blooming in a pitch dark room otherwise not a problem. These TVs are so bright you cant watch them in a completely dark room anyway.

Ah that might be a problem as I have a completely dark room. I guess I can turn the brightness down?

The Q80T is the Q7 from the previous year.

They moved every series up one. So it's a 7 series TV where 6 iirc is the lowest. Going up to 9.

The Sony is better and the Samsung cheaper and oled beats both comfortably.

If he wants to save money then he can always go for the higher end Sony or look at a higher end Samsung Q90T.

Problem is if you want the best it has to be oled. FALD LCDs are great but oled is in a league of its own. The difference may seem marginal to ignorant folk but under specific circumstances the difference can be substantial.

Normally whilst gaming you would be too focused to see the difference however in a boring game like flight simulator where you are literally just looking into the horizon oled's benefits would be noticeable.

If he was playing cod then I'd say get an LCD you would be hard pressed to tell. However he isn't playing cod.

According to rtings, the XH95 is only marginally better then the Q80T (but with slightly worse viewing angle and no freesync/gsync): https://www.rtings.com/tv/tools/compare/sony-x950h-vs-samsung-q80t/1777/1819

Q80T vs Q90T is again very similar https://www.rtings.com/tv/tools/com...sung-q80t/9810/1819?usage=11114&threshold=0.1

Viewing angles arent needed for this usage.

Viewing angles are needed when you have the TV in the middle of a room and seats at the sides of a room so you are sitting side on.

He's going to be sitting straight on to the screens not to the side.

If he's going to buy LCD then yeah the value for money option is the Q80T.

However oled is far superior in every way. Albeit a lot more expensive.

It's a question of how much he wants to spend essentially. That's the real question.

The difference between oled and LCD is stark if you know what to look for. Problem is during gaming normally you aren't looking for them so it isn't as noticeable however he's doing a specific type of gaming which would probably easily show oled's benefits

err im the op....
 

interesting real-world test. The clouds in the game are pinkish on the Samsung whereas they are bright white on the LG. Very important for flying.
