    Some clarity on 120hz.

    1080p@120hz is doable today. Even on the Xbox One. It's a HDMI 2.0 standard there.

    Future proofing is the 4K@120hz modes. That requires HDMI 2.1 and more expensive cables that can pass the higher bandwidth. Neither PS5 or series X is powerful enough to do 4K@120fps gaming. The target is 4K@60fps which most TV's today can do. VRR is really the only reason you want to future proof for HDMI 2.1 if you even notice screen tearing or poor frame rates.

    Samsung totally fucked the xU line after the NU8000 (I have that one in 82"). They stripped it down when it went RU and continues to be the bottom of the barrel in the Samsung line. Most notably, it got rid of local dimming completely. Not that local dimming was spectacular on the MU8000 and NU8000 before they neutered it even more.

    My only point is I take that as my litmus test for normal people not giving a shit about the kind of crap we discuss in this tv thread.

    Most tv’s are more than suitable for most people and don’t overthink it if you aren’t a tv nerd. It’s not that I care what they think, it’s that most people don’t care at all.
    This x 1000 haha.

    edit - thinking about this again, I *think* there might be a shift in this thinking as the Series X and S rolls out. Way more accessible HDR/DV content.

    I am tempted to do the Samsung buy a 65/75" Frame TV get a 32" Frame tv deal, but I don't have a use for the 32". Is anyone interested in the 32?

    I don’t have much to add other than I really love my frame. Got another one for my parents and I’m seriously getting a third for the lake. Not in 32” sorry, maybe it would make a good option for when you are on the can?

    That is actually a great idea. I already have an outlet for the bidet. I may have to sit backwards.

    Tv nerds is this a good buy? I'm not a gamer, I watch sports and shit on Netflix. I'd just like a larger tv then my current setup. I've only bought samsung tv's in the past and never had issues. Are Sonys pretty reliable?

    It’s a larger tv so it checks that box. If size is your only criteria there are cheaper 75s out there.

    Whatever TV you get from Costco, spring for the $99 warranty to get 5 years total coverage then you dont have to worry about reliability but Sonys are pretty good. Are you set on getting the 75? As your choice isnt the Bravia line. If your okay with 65", the X800H or X900H are better with the XBR line up

    Not set on 75" but I'm upgrading in size from a 55" so figured might as well make the jump to 75" to 82". Looking to keep spend $2100 max. Basically looking for the best tv in that size range.

    it's so hard to qualify best, but based on what you're using it for (sports, Netflix) size is prob your biggest wow factor. Hisense 85", under $2k right now at Costco.

    What's best 55" TV for a bright room facing windows?

    I know X950H would be a good one, but $1600 is a bit more than I wanted to spend for 55".

    Well it's a good thing I decided to wait to get a new TV instead of the 900H.

    Looks like 120 HZ doesn't even work properly. Text gets blurry.

    Go to rtings, find a tv that has over 500 nits SDR real world brightness. That’s literally the minimum brightness you want in a bright room with occasional and partial direct sunlight. Or be a baller and get the Samsung terrace haha.

    I find it hilarious that all the gaming forums have people buying the Sony 900H. #1 you're getting average image quality, and #2 HDMI 2.1 isn't even on that TV yet. Sony promises to update it to HDMI 2.1 and yea, I wouldn't trust them to deliver. Total crapshoot.

    Buy the right feature that you actually care about today, and not "future proof" features that you have no idea if it even applies to you or not.
    There’s no tv out this year that will make gamers happy.



    Covers it from a features perspective. Still have to overlay PQ on top of that decision making.

    I think I am coming around to the 950H, especially after figuring out I was wrong about my receiver supporting HDMI2.1 anyway so really that’s all for a HT redo probably 4-5 years from now.

    Will be keeping an eye on Costco and other BF deals on the 950H. Hoping to get one south of 3k (75”).

    If not I’ll roll the dice on whatever is around next year. My current tv is by no means bad.
