    Series S available for pre-order on costco.ca

    Is this something I should be hoarding?

    Hey guys,

    I have some Dell Rewards to use by the beginning of December. Looking for either a monitor or TV with 4K resolution for the Series X. Dell site only has Samsung for their TV's. Anyone have any recommendations? Or should I just look at a monitor?

    EDIT: Was thinking this one...

    I'll piggyback on the TV question. We have a decent 4K TV upstairs so that's where the X will live for now, but eventually I do want to upgrade the basement TV (non-4K, >8yo) to optimize for the X.

    (Disclaimer - i don't know much about any of these stuff) Any reason to wait for the 'next gen' of TV? or the current ones on the market will already take advantage of the X and the new games. Do we need to wait for an 8K TV? Once we upgrade we will probably keep the TV for another 8years+

    TV’s are far more about incremental improvements than generations. Best you can do is buy a decent quality tv (learn your models) on a good sale.

    Basically upgrade your tv when the new ones have a big enough gap from your current to make the cost worth it.

    If you're a competitive gamer, wait till things settle down so we know what TV has the best HDMI 2.1 and VRR implementation. Both are still in it's infancy implementation wise and there's multiple formats. The 2 big TV's that have it (Vizio and LG OLEDs) are having tons of issues with the software implementation. It's completely broken on both today. Not to mention lack of support in the devices in between such as soundbars and receivers, so you're going to have to deal with using ARC for audio which adds another layer of complexity. If you care about 120hz gaming, sorry to say that we're not going to see 4K/120hz in this generation, so buying for that is completely stupid. The new consoles are targeting 4K/60 which HDMI 2.0 has zero problems delivering. If you still care about VRR, wait until the implementation is done, out there, reviewed and works.

    If you're not a competitive gamer, any HDMI 2.0 TV will be just fine. Buy for picture quality.

    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.

    I wish the 950 didn’t have that stupid wide viewing angle layer on it.

    I don’t care that much about “competitive” gaming, but it would really stick in my craw if I couldn’t check the VRR button on the Xbox settings next gen . I just want my games to look good, which to be fair they already do and my tv doesn’t even have “real” HDR.

    To be fair the screen tearing aspect of VRR is wayyy more important than the 120Hz thing.

    I really wish the 950G (which doesn't have the wide viewing angle and is actually brighter) didn't have the bug where external HDMI dolby vision sources are all fucked and darker. That bug is still there 1.5 years later and not fixed. You can't win haha.

    Damn, now I'm leaning towards waiting another year instead of getting the 900h. The only thing is I won't be able to enjoy hdr/dv gaming on my current one.

    There might not be any next-gen games at 120hz but there are few current ones that will be like Gears 5.

    Great! Maybe I'll wait another year before upgrading. Alot of terms I still don't understand so maybe it'll become a "What TV should I buy" thread.

    Anyone get their orders cancelled? My brother had both his PS5 and Xbox cancelled by Walmart with no explanation.

    for whatever reason walmarts cancelled a lot of pre sales no one knows why. I've got multiples in the Walmart and no issue. Walmart didn't stipulate one per house so I doubt thats the cause.

    Did he buy in the first wave at Walmart or the bundle package that was released after?

    To be fair if you got the 900H you wouldn’t really be enjoying HDR anyways.

    It’s seriously a mediocre tv and people seems to be blinded by possible HDMI 2.1 support and the price.

    Its not a bad tv at all overall. You are just a 1 issue voter on HDR brightness haha.

    Brightness and color. Both are lacking.

    I feel like I’m the mitsu projector equivalent when it comes to HDR. That’s my cue to stop posting now haha.

    I definitely agree with you on color accuracy being something people neglect. 950 can’t really be beat there right now.

    To be fair, I don’t think you are repetitive, more than the same question gets asked every couple days lol

    So basically look for a 4k resolution with a 60Hz refresh rate? I'm a very casual console player.

    I wouldn’t buy anything that isn’t 4K and 60, from there make sure you have a good contrast ratio which is key.

    Rtings is the website to go on.
