Can you still heat a large basement movie theatre with an OLED like you could with a plasma?

I bought the 65" Sony XBR X900F and I'm blown away. Goes on for $2,000 frequently. Down from $2400.
It supposedly has "local array dimming" which is supposedly a big upgrade. It's incredible.
Their OLED version is a crippling $4,000! I think they call it an A8F. I've always been a fan of buying the top end but I couldn't justify it on a basement TV this time.
Sony now has pricing control so it's mandated to be the same price everywhere. Even Double Diamond in Edmonton can't sell it cheaper. I picked Costco for their freebie extra warranty.

I did the 75" X900F. Had analysis paralysis for a while. Almost went with the Vizio, then got a quote from an extended family member who could get dealer cost, and it was a no-brainer.Originally Posted by ThePenIsMightier

Love this TV! Coming from a couple of plasmas, I expected to be a bit disappointed, but nope, it's great.

What are you replacing in your bedroom and will you be selling it?This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show QuoteThe New Quantums aren't out anywhere yet. If it's anything like the PQ65 (2018), don't expect them to be out till Xmas in Canada, at ridiculous prices. The PQ65-F1 was initially priced at $3500 CAD, and Costco had it on sale for $3000.
With that said, this reminded me to check on pricing. Looks like the 2018 PQ65-F1 is on sale right now at Costco!

Which puts it close to the lowest it's been offered in the US. Only 24 units left, just ordered mine.

We picked up a E70 a few months ago for cheap and its been good i guess. We also have a M65 and they look pretty much the same to me. I did notice that the E70 has 'blooming' (had to google WTF its called) in a couple spots on an all black screen which is kinda annoying now that I've notice it. Also we don't watch anything 4k nor I have ever compared to any of the more expensive HDR tv's. We just wanted something good, cheap and big that will last a couple years.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

I’m slowly upgrading my house to 4K HDR. The TV in my room goes into the guest room and I’ll be dumping that TV. An older 60 or 65” Samsung 1080p. Probably giving it to family, not worth anything.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
You won’t notice much difference between E and M until you feed it HDR content.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

What do you think I can sell a lightly used M65 for? The PQ65 is calling my name, incredible deal at $2k...
I'm only half joking.

Modern plasmas were quite thin and didn't put off much heat, and OLEDs put out almost zero heat. The old, original plasmas were loud, thick, and hot but that improved dramatically as time went on.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
OLEDs get really expensive above 55". Even the entry level ones are better at most things than everything else because each individual pixel is it's own light source. There is lots of debate surrounding OLEDs and HDR due to their organic nature, and the different pixel colors having different lifespans/brightness decay. Unless your TV is on 24/7 though, it will be many years before anything negative happens under normal use. Currently you can make LCDs brighter, but the flawless/infinite blacks on OLEDs can still give you higher contrast which makes it less of an issue - more of a personal preference thing at that point. Viewing angle is usually better on OLEDs, but a good LCD is almost as good and it's generally not an issue. Aside from projectors, I personally prefer the look of OLEDs (and plasmas) to the best LCD TVs currently available, but it is literally impossible to do any proper A/B comparisons without buying/calibrating every single TV in question and viewing them side by side in the exact same environment.

That's an insane steal for the P75, just saw the thread on RFD.
We've been pretty happy with the M65 but we haven't moved to 4K content in our house yet.
BTW, have any of you experienced the TV turning back on by itself? Seems to be happening to ours from time to time.

Had a TV at my parents basement that would do that, very old Panasonic tube. We determined it was possessed. It was a TV that my grandparents had.

I'll play around with the settings and see what happens. Just found a reddit thread that recommended switching from eco mode to quick start.

They don't have every TV in their possession at once, to my knowledge. I believe their comparisons are primarily based on past notes/test results rather than constant A/B testing anytime something new comes out. They are a good resource for sure but nothing beats having all your options in your intended viewing environment at once for a proper audition with regards to lighting, seating position, reflections, calibration, content, compatibility with other components, aesthetics, etc. There are also subjective factors that nobody can really account for except the owner/viewer (for example rainbow effect in the case of a DLP). It's just really hard with TVs, calibrating them can take hours and buying on spec alone isn't always guaranteed happiness. Pretty much every TV looks awesome when there is nothing to compare it to though, which is why I usually tell people to just buy the biggest one they can afford if they aren't enthusiasts and if it isn't going in a dedicated viewing environment.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member.

Got the E series in and I hated it. Have blackout blinds in my bonus room and I found it hard to see when I was playing video games in dark environments
Anyone have any experience with the Sony 850F? looks like the 900F is the way to go but its also $1500 more

Did you have a chance to calibrate the settings or is this out of the box?

i grabbed the settings off on rtings
