I think it was the OG frame that had a huge border. The new frames don’t have have a big bezel mine are 1/4” or so similar to a normal TV.

Dumb question because I’m too lazy to look. How does sizing work on the frame? If you get a 55” then I’m assuming it’s 55” TV plus a few inch border around? So it would take the space of a 60 or 65”?

Great question. So I actually busted out the measuring tape to check. My 65" measures 66" with the border. This is a 2019 Frame.

I think that comment stems from some Of the art mode settings that put a big border around the photo.

That disappears on tv mode.

Frame gets matte display and up to 85” size for 2022.

Everything else got basically no upgrades of significance. MicroLED has some updates with smaller sizes but still expecting unobtainable pricing.

Yeah I think that's what I had in my head. Seeing the art and thinking that was the useable parts.

Samsung will never be a consideration for a media room tv until they embrace DV anyway.

lol at Samsung selling NFT artwork for frames

Yea, that’s basically the consensus for anyone building a semi serious setup. I’m surprised at how stubborn they are with it, and trying so hard to push hdr10+ but only small players are adopting it.

They’re also adopting google stadia this year. I thought google gave up on that already. Weird choices.

I’m not sure I’ve ever noticed an HDR10+ source.

Not that it matters as my frames can’t display HDR anyway, was watching encanto with my daughter this afternoon and the screen of grey with no contrast was painful haha.

Apple TV doesn’t support it so you wouldn’t see it. There’s a bunch of UHD blu rays that also include hdr10+. Aside from that, Amazon prime has it as well from the streaming side of things.

QDOLED explained by Linus. Way back when talked to a physics major that it wasn't possible to turn blue light into red. Shoulda bet on it.

It’s only a quarter.

Doesn’t the EOTF of DV go to 4000 for a lot of films?

DV also supports 12 bit Color but good luck finding a panel to show it

It’ll go lower. The x95k is looking to be a huge step up when it arrives this summer/fall.

x95K is doing the Samsung QD-OLED panel right? Kinda heard something about it during CES but wasn't sure.

NVM: mixing up Sony models that's A95K and tops out at 65"

I watched Shang-Chi on my X90J and I'm impressed. Good buy in my books. I'm easy to please though. Didn't mess with any calibrations. Good enough for my eyes straight outta the box with the DV setting on but I do need a better sound bar. The Hisense HS214 does a good job for price I paid but I need better

X95J line could be a good pick up before X95K arriving if you don't care about the latest and greatest. But damn X95K will bring quite a lot to the table while the X90K just a repeat of X90 J

Deals sites reporting the LG A1 OLED 55" have been showing up in some warehouses for $1000.

I'm heavily debating this over a frame for our small living room off the kitchen on the main floor...
