LG CX dropped huge in price today too.

55" - $1900
65" - $2600
77" - $5000

Glad to see I'm still ahead on the 85" 950h @ $4350.

Fucking scope creep. Right when I was coming around to the 950 haha. Honestly I thinking until ABL is fixed the CX isn’t worth the extra 2k to me.

ABL will never be fixed. It's an inherent problem with OLED displays. It can't do high brightness for extended periods of time as it kills the life of each pixel, retention, etc.

But yea those black levels are sexy as hell haha.

A8H 55" $1798
A8H 65" $2498

Good deal?

[Disoblige]

I narrowed it down to 55" Sony X950H or 55" Samsung Q90 for TV in a bright living room with windows.

Other than the local dimming @rage2 mentioned, if I mainly care about the bright room/glare, should I just save $700 and get the X800H for $1k, which still has over 500 nits?
Edit: Damn that rting photo showing the grey screen on the X800H is awful

It’s going to be very hard for me to not pull the trigger on the 950 tomorrow.

I don't get it. All those prices are the same, with the sale ending today. Now another sale starts tomorrow with the same price? lol...

I thought that quote was the deal started Oct 30 at Best Buy?

I’m hoping Costco matches personally.

It is. I'm just mad they don't discount the price for the 55" at all
It's the same price at Best Buy, Costco, etc. Lame.

X800H isn't bright enough. The 950H is 50% brighter in normal modes, but can crank up to over 2x brighter. X900 would be the minimum for a bright room if you're looking at the Sonys. Go pick up both 900 and 950, return the one that you don't want.

As for Samsung, remember Samsung continues to refuse Dolby Vision support, so you're losing out a bit if you care about HDR content.

I played some Shadow of the Tomb Raider last weekend, HDR, Atmos, the works. I'm a happy man.

[Disoblige]

Fuck it! There is no in between. Either cheap it out, or go on the higher range.
X950H it is

[rx7boi]

I've been itching to upgrade our M65 to something bigger but I don't have the room haha.

[The_Rural_Juror]

The specs on the Q90. So bright!

[killramos]

Sales are on and looks like Costco is matching on the XBR

[The_Rural_Juror]

@killramos 65" 950h is $1898 at Visions. Costco is still at $2198

[killramos]

Thanks for the update, I ordered a 75” 950H this morning.

If I hate it you know I’m going to be bitching out @rage2 hard

If anyone is looking for a cheap option I will be selling my 70” Samsung KU6290 which I believe is still under Costco 5 year warranty that’s is in great shape.

What's the lowest price have you seen for the XBR950?
Looking to snag an 85" but might settle for the 900 instead.

I have the receipt for mine that you can use to price match. $4350.

I'll post my 950h settings tonight. I used the rtings settings as a base and made some tweaks.
