To that point, I love both higher res and better contrast seen with OLEDs and "needed" 2 tvs anyway. So i got the 77 a95l and 85 qn900c. My holy grail would be this: --90 inches + --8k --QD Oled --Improved reflection handling tech for QD OLED --Even more advanced upscaling/image processing...

What I found most surprising is from my viewing distance the XR cognitive processor also does some noticeable improvements to 4K streaming content, not just 1080p. It makes 4K look like better 4K. You'll see it in human hair, eyes, and if there's any minor blurring around the face from a further...

To each his own. I definitely prefer the closer THX recommendation.

Sorry what does the mfgs acronym people keep referring to? I know it has something to do with the companies selling TVs, but specifically.

Fair enough. Simply figured I'd post given the title of this thread. It may not be a great 8k monitor. But it's an 8k monitor, and they're rare to come by so far. Lol

What I saw was a 4k version of a nature scene on a Samsung S95c 77 inch, versus the same exact scene in an 8k version on a thumb drive on the LG z2. We can split hairs about me not knowing what the bit rate for each was or any number of factors, as these forums are all about splitting hairs...

The only way for something like this to be definitive would be to (1) Get a gigantic sample size, (2) demonstrate no difference in distinguishing 8k and 4k beyond chance (50%) outside of standard deviation, (3) replicate study several times. People can take my A B comparison with a grain of...

Did anyone see this? ASROCK 8K 55IN https://www.notebookcheck.net/ASRock-PG558K-New-8K-gaming-monitor-previewed-with-55-inch-IPS-panel-and-HDR-1000-certification.723079.0.html

It's hard to find a situation with like for like content with respective 4k and 8k resolutions for each set. I was lucky enough to get that and the difference was striking. It's an issue of granular detail. It comes out especially in sand, hair, clothing texture, things of that nature. It's not...

http://www.hometheaterengineering.com/viewingdistancecalculator.html According to this the recommended THX viewing distance for 77 inches is 8.5 feet, not 12. 8-8.5 been consistent with my preference of getting to a 35-40 degree viewing angle. At that distance it's very easy to spot a 4k...

At home I sit 8 feet away from a 77 inch a95l. It'll be the same for the 85 inch QN900c I just ordered for a different room. I might increase to 9 feet. I can clearly see the difference at that distance. People sit too far away for a cinematic experience. I went from being bored with movies to...

Also, regarding VR, Quest 3 was the first minimum viable viewing experience I've seen (before that had only seen Q2 and Reverb G2, and wasn't impressed with either due to the dumpster fire ringed fresnel lenses). To get from minimum viable to "compelling" we really need those 3.5k + per eye...

I planned to drop numerous grand on one or multiple TVs which I just did. Before doing this I spent hours in BB (literally around 6 hours over the course of multiple days and multiple locations). Conclusion -8k is the truth, to my eyes. I saw the QN800c side by side with a similarly priced 4k...

Well I got the nice high bandwidth HDMI cable in, and I still can't get either Nvidia control panel or Win 10 display settings to show anything more than 60 hz with my GTX 2080, even if I turn off HDR color and move to 8-bit RGB. I was able to go to 120 hz just fine with these settings with my...

Thanks for your advice. You're probably right about the program. I'll test later with my laptop hooked up to see if it goes away. I have no idea what program I have that would be causing it though. I'll update after the cable gets here re: the 120 hz.

So I have something to share, and then a call for help. I wanted to share my new setup with the LG 42. Pardon the wire mess, and 10 year old mouse pad/food mat (I have a new one on the way from Amazon :) ). FYI, the desk measures 72 by approximately 40 (approximately because it's life edge...

I have a 32 inch BENQ 4k ips monitor from 2016. Obviously it has much higher PPI than my current 48 inch LG CX OLED. However, to my eye the 48" still looks much sharper. Obviously the colors and motion are better on the OLED, which I'm sure contribute to the perception, but it also must have...

Well, now that I bought the close-enough-to-holy-grail-4k-TV (LG C2 42) , the only logical next question is: What year do you all predict bandwidth will be good enough and content will be plentiful enough that 8k displays will be an attractive proposition? 2027? 2030?

This is very similar to my desk. Mine is long and acacia wood as well, the difference between it's live edge and ranges from 37" to 39" in depth. Anyway, very nice setup, sir. I might have to post a pic when I get the 42 inch in.

I'm assuming by "here" you mean the US. Anyway, thanks for the update! Will keep my eyes peeled around that date.

Hmmm, so when they said May 2022 release for this bad boy, did they mean 11:59 PM on the 31st? 🧐 🥺 Edit: And yes, I realize some in US are finding it apparently, but I'm talking Best Buy and Amazon.

I've seen C series sold at Costco as well, I'm just saying the model numbers are never the same, as when you go to Best Buy, Amazon, etc. I wasn't sure if there was any functional difference though.

Is it true that the Costco versions are different somehow? I've noticed that the model numbers are often different on the Costco TVs but wasn't sure if there were any substantial differences in the panel or any other part of the hardware.

What exactly are you talking about? There are larger models, quite a few in fact. 48“,55“,77“,83“,97“ What point does it make to go on a forum for a certain size and criticize the size? Should I go on the larger display forum and talk about how the 97" model is "too big". You make no sense.

It's not available yet, but at least it's listed now: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/lg-42-class-c2-series-oled-evo-4k-uhd-smart-webos-tv/6501500.p?skuId=6501500

Thanks, I think I will go with Best Buy for the piece of mine and return ease as I do a lot of static stuff. I plan on taking precautions. Only downside is it looks like they're the last to have anything about the 42 up on their page (Amazon is at least showing it as a future option...

Anyone know if newegg has a burn in warranty or any thing similar? Also, how well do returns work on TVs having to ship back to Newegg? I was considering Amazon, Newegg or Best Buy, but Best Buy I'm most comfortable with as you can return them to a physical store without worrying about shipping...

B&H has the 42" up for pre-order, but it looks like the wrong photo to me because the base doesn't look like the new one on the 42. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1696683-REG/lg_oled42c2pua_c2_42_oled_4k.html

I'm not sure how accurate techradar is but they have release dates I pasted below. Supposedly May for the 42 inch, I'm assuming in US. Price and release date The LG C2 OLED is part of LG’s 2022 TV lineup with most models in the line-up coming out in March 2022 and a few sizes coming a bit...

Wait a minute, are we saying 120 hz is gone, or just the BFI setting on 120 hz?

Any thoughts on this supposed distortions fix/reduction from owners?

Yeah, I'm not sure if the BFI settings interact with the Trumotion settings (or if they act interdependently of each other), but regardless I hope the Trumotion setting gets fixed. On my LG CX the Trumotion setting only has an impact on 24fps/30fps content (making it look silky smooth) when the...

I didn't even think about changes in motion clarity as models progress, CX--> C1->C2 As someone coming from a CX, can I expect any improvements or declines in motion quality in the C2? I use the Trumotion feature a lot. Hypothetically based on specs they've released, I mean. I'm not as...

42-48 inch 8k sounds excellent. I wonder how many years it'll be until we start seeing products like that.

Okay, well I hope the "CES to release date delay" is more like 2021 than 2020 then; because April sounds great.

I know prior years doesn't guarantee anything but CES 2020 was in January 2020, and my BestBuy receipt shows August 2020 for purchase of the LG 48 inch (I purchased right on release). So I hope we'd see this 42 before August, but who knows. It will be 2022 for sure though.

Not sure where you live, but the 48 inch C1 OLED runs around $1,100 in the US, both on Amazon and Best Buy. Last year, I think I paid $1,200 for the CX. If I had to guess, I think the new 42 inch would start off around 1100-1200 and drop to 800-900 over time; either way, in your acceptability...

Cool. The only reason I'm justifying it is I have another room where it'd be nice to have a smaller TV anyway, so I'll put the 48 inch there. I've made the 48 inch work on my deep desk, but it's still slightly overwhelming for mouse and keyboard gaming (sitting back another foot with a PS5 on is...

Thanks for your take. The range in reporting is still pretty extreme it seems, as Vega above you said the distortion takes up half the screen in Half Life Alyx. Half the screen, wtf??!! But then you and a ton of other people are saying the distortions are exaggerated and barely noticeable...

From someone who hasn't seen the distortions first hand (and yes I googled Chromatic abberation, barrel distortion, etc. but I see a variety of effects and degrees of these effects), how big of a deal are they really? I see some Youtubers describing the distortions as "only towards the very edge...
