so, I have a deal on a Q90R.

would you pick:
1. Q90R Samsung 75 inch FALD
OR
2. 65inch LG OLED

I already have a 65 inch panasonic 902b.

If the Q90R has hdmi 2.1 go for it.

It probably doesn't though so go OLED like I'm doing tomorrow.

It just feels a bit sideways going 65 inch to 65 inch. I'll check out a 75 inch vs 65 today in store.

where are you buying from to cover for burn in?

65c9 will support g sync and have has hdmi 2.1 that's where my money would go even the 1st gen OLED makes my ps4 look so much sharper and smoother than an lcd

Argh.. I am considering this. Or maybe just picking up an older OLED at 65 inches for now.. seeing if I like it and then potentially upgrading to the C9 after the November price drop which invariably occurs.

Just buy the knowhow insurance they've been well documented replacing peoples panels for burn in on avforums.

I myself had a panel on a Sony XF9005 telly replaced twice because I had a single dead pixel right at the edge of the screen too so it covers pixels if you ask nicely.

You pretty much won't get screen burn on the C9 anyway just set logo illuminance to medium and any HUD elements and TV logos will be at a slightly lower luminance to the rest of the game you're playing.

Really? On avforums someone has just taken curry’s to court because they refused to fix burn in... its very well documented.

Hmmm so shall I replace my crg9 with a 55 inch oled?
