Turn the TV on and watch a movie lol.

I laugh at the people that return 10 TVs for panel inconsistencies that are so minor you can only see it on a test pattern on pause which would never be noticed in day to day use.

lol true, I never did anything with my current TV besides just watching it. I've never had an OLED though but I assume glaring problems would show.

Sharp was rebranded hisense for a while because hisense bought their assets and rights. Sharp got pissed at the quality of tv bearing its name and sued hisense. I think that’s been settled and this years TVs are sharps and not rebranded hisense. I have no clue if they’re any good tho.

Always important to remember how the other side lives

Following up on the purchase of the Sony X950H to say how happy I am with the quality of this tv if anyone else is considering it. Man alive, been watching the Formula One series on Netflix and the picture blows me away. Almost have all the speakers for a 5.1 setup, looking forward to having that complete.

Drive to Survive is in Atmos. It's actually a pretty decent mix, crashes have sounds flying by and above you. Worth looking into setting up atmos with speakers bouncing off the ceiling.

Watch the MCU films in Dolby Vision if you want a visual treat. John Wick is awesome too visually. Another one (terrible story) is 6 Underground on Netflix.

Finally got my CX and it feels nice having all these checked off now. I don't mind that it has VRR issues since most games will target specific frame rates. It would help with games like Valhalla but I don't think the tearing would bother me too much if I played something like that. Cold War is so smooth in 120hz.

My eyes need to get adjusted to the TV though. I know OLEDs don't get as bright but it's definitely blinding to me currently compared to my old Vizio P65.

Loving it so far. Hopefully this will last me quite a while.

Congrats!

Those are some expensive ass check marks!

[beecue]

lol yeah, I could have got 2 65" 900h's for the same price. I don't foresee needing to upgrade again unless I get burn-in which hopefully is not the case as I will be using it for varied content.

Any suggestions for a reasonably priced 55" for my main floor? Bright room, but still want good contrast for the occasional show

[Proyecto2000]

I picked up a 65" Samsung QN65Q7DT at Visions for $1,280. Now patiently waiting for it to arrive so that I can watch some "good" tv

[rage2]

I have no VRR and yet to experience any tearing.

I've got the 65" version of this TV and really like it, going to get a 55" soon to replace an old Sharp 55"

I don't really want to start a new thread on this and figured you guys would know anyway.

Right now in the basement I have a 5.1 setup running through an Onkyo TX-NR555 receiver. The TV itself is old and I'm waiting to upgrade to the X900H or whatever when the time is right.

There are so many settings - how would I know whether I should set it up Dolby Surround or DTS Neutral or TV Logic?

Same with my upstairs setup. It's running through a Pioneer receiver (VSX-531).. how do I know which sound model should I was set up.

I know nothing about this stuff, but the house came with all in-wall speakers so I'm forced to run everything through receivers.

Set it to auto. The receiver should detect what signal is coming in (DTS, DD, etc) and auto switch to it. The only time you care about sound mode is when you get a basic stereo audio feed, where you can do fake surround modes on it. Or be a true snob and only listen to stereo in stereo haha.

Ahh got it. Thanks!
