Absolutely. Plasmas, even the best ones, are getting pretty dated now. Lower color bit depth, and not a wide color gammuy. In addition to their larger bezels, weight etc. Obviously HDR also plays a part. You lose some contrast, but I don't think so much so that the trade off isn't worth it.
Thank you. My TV is pretty heavy now that I think about it. I have yet to actually experience any content in HDR or 4K even though I have a pro and an X
Must vary by store and stock, I ordered right away and mine will be available for pickup on May 9th.
Unlikely, as the presumably-already-low margins on these sets don't make them the type of thing we normally see for BF deals. I don't recall any notable deals happening for the prior generation either.
In my experience, pretty fantastic; there's even a built-in input profile for it. And Windows will automatically scale the UI.
What the what? That was a major reason for me waiting for this version. If it doesn't do 120hz I might as well just save some coin and get the 2017 version.
I could have sworn I've been seeing other members picking up the 2017 models for significantly cheaper. I've only been following this pretty loosely so I could very well be mistaken.
I got a 2017 model for $408 on Ebay during the 20% off. Worth every penny.
I mean it really doesn't matter until the sets can do 4k 120hz if we're being honest. I have an LG B7 and I never use the 1080/120hz mode.
Yep, absolutely! Everything I've been reading so far is about the 65-incher; not a lot of info out there on the smaller model.
It's not just you. I think anyone not living in a crazy big American house feels the same. Any bigger than 50 and I'd have to come up with a crazy door-hinged shelf or something. So I wonder when they'll make 49-50 inch OLEDs.
Ok, I have Gears and I am in the menu right now. I don't know if I am doing something wrong, but I have found the Gears 4 hdr calibration to be a little screwy (I can never get something that can clearly be stated as the left most one being invisible, the middle one barely visible, and the last one visible). I can get it so the first is not visible and the latter two look approximately equal. If I push out the slider I can make all three invisible but the latter two seem to go invisible at around the same point.
I do not have a measuring tape, but using a dollar bill and math it is about 48" from the outmost edge of one of the feet to the outmost edge of the other. This seems inline with the stated width on tcl's website (48.5")
I mean, it's true that the borders of the screen are very thin nowadays, so 49 inch is the old 46. And there are plenty high end, 49 inch TVs like the Sony 9000 series and even higher. But with the OLEDs, it's only 55 and up. I imagine (And hope) that as they get cheaper to manufacture the tech will trickle down. Because for me, 49-50 inch is the sweetspot, and I mean, houses aren't getting any bigger, there will always have to be smaller TVs.
