Wonder if these will get any cheaper on black Friday?

That's a legit good deal for that model.

Have the last couple generations of OLED addressed ABL in any significant way?

[cidley69]

The living room where new tv is going can be bright during summer months. Have read that OLED is prone to glare and doesn't look as good in bright rooms.

Looking at Samsung QN90B as an option.

Any have this tv, or the last year's model of QLED tv?

Should I actually be worried about viewability of OLED in bright rooms or is this just reviewers trying too hard to find flaws?

Nope. If anything, it's more aggressive on the newer brighter panels such as the LG G2.

I've only liked OLED in darker light controlled rooms, the glare isn't THAT bad on the newer units, but the bigger problem is that it's not bright enough to overcome a bright room. While it's bright enough for darker scenes like those black background vivid color subject in the middle demo reels you see at Best Buy, but once you get a bright scene ABL kicks in, drops peak brightness down to the 200's and you can't see shit against the sun.

A80J is on sale for $1900 at best buy

Might be worth checking if Costco has any/on sale as well for the sake of cheap extended warranty

Not OLED, but we put a 2022 Frame in our bright living room, and it's been great from every respect, including glare. Might be something to consider.

[killramos]

The frame is a very good option for most people.

Looked into the Visions Sony deal, and its sold out everywhere. They are recommending a QLED for bright rooms.

Visions is offering the Samsung QN65Q92BA for $2142.

Is this a good deal?

LG 55” C1 1300$ in some locations. Also mentions 65” C2 for 2100$. Not sure if it’s all Costco locations or Ottawa is early with black friday

Has anyone used a Hisense U88H/U88G?

Thinking about upgrading my 65" vizio. The tv is good, but the blacks are starting to drive me nuts watching movies.

Think we'll see any Black Friday sales?

[gpomp]

I have a U88G. I think it looks better than my other TV which is a Frame.

So what’s the better tvs to look out for this BF? Looking for a 65”, originally from as eyeing one of the oled ones but everyone says in a bright room they aren’t as great. The frame seems really aesthetic and the 2022 seems a good improvement. What else is worth checking out at the $2-2.5k range? Every tv seems to claim the same marketing bs and all seem the same.

For my main floor living room so relatively bright room but we don’t get any glare from the window the way it’s all orientated.

75" x90k for $2K is a good middle of road TV with some discount. 65 is $1400 and 55 is $1200. My old x900h is doing fine in a bright room but I don't watch enough contents on that one to care that much.

If you have a dark room, C1/A80J deal should be ok but that only get you 65" in that price range.

I don't see any enticing deals for the high ends.

RTings is a good place for reviews. I like my Frame aesthetically and will probably get a second one for the living room once I sort out my built in cabinet situation.

On the weekend I picked up a 65" X95K from Visions for $2450. Not sure if that's the absolute lowest they'd go, but I'm happy with the price. 2 year warranty and 60 day price protection.

As for the TV, its pretty amazing picture quality. Its very bright, we have it in a room with several large windows and no curtains, its a bright room, and there's been no issues with viewing the TV in the daytime. Everyone that sees the TV comments on how amazing the picture is. In the store it was side by side with a Samsung QLED, and the Samsung colors looked too exagerated, not realistic looking at all.

I'd highly recommend a Sony, and there are decent deals out there.

Samsung stubborn on not supporting DV also make me write them off.

That's $150 less than list, I wonder how low Visions is ready to go on 75" one.

If you want to see how it performs, the U6GR is on display at Costco East Hills with a price reduction till the 24th of Nov. I was just there to check it out last night.

If it goes cheaper, they could price-match it but it's a pretty good display for less than $1k
