Yeah, that might be a better solution. I'll try that out this evening.

Television Displays and Technology Thread: The ERA of OLED is Now

I also have a couple of presets stored - one with dynamic volume, one without. So at the press of a button I've three choices with, without and direct.
Wanted one but got spooked with the weird white line issues people were posting about on avs
Question: would black frame insertion improve 60fps games on an LED? Is that what it's meant for ?
So guys, Sony KD55XE90005 or LG OLED55B7V, for gaming purposes?
I have a tendency to pair my main console with the exact same brand. Meaning I've always paired my PS's with a Sony TV.
I know that OLED is in theory better, but I've read some stuff about burn-in image and panel degradation that makes me take a step back.
Therefore my dilemma. Let's say that hypothetically I could snug a Sony XE9005 for about 970 € and the B7 for 1240 €. Which one would you choose?
Help.

Anyone here have the X930e? Can you tell me if you see Vudu available in the Google Play Store? It has disappeared on me and this was the only way I could watch some UHD streams in HDR! I'm going mad trying to figure out why the app has gone missing !!
Picked up a TCL 6 series (R615) for the inlaws today. Will be testing it next week, hoping there's minimal or no banding. A little nervous lol.
It does indeed if played through the Google Play Store. Anyway I just confirmed thru the Vudu forums that the app was pulled
I know I can stream UHD movies on the Google play store but I didn't know there was a Vudu app there.
You saying you installed the app from the play store and then it disappeared from your installed apps?
Ha! I also startet thinking about a 2020 hardware battle plan. Ideally I wanna go for either a projector setup in a dark room with Dolby Atmos or whatever will be popular or yes, the wallpaper OLED... But they need to come down more and have VRR.
I wonder if this time Sony will work in parallel on a gaming TV within their departments.
Anyone have an issue with black uniformity on LED lit TVs? When I turn the local dimming off in particular I can notice a little bit of uneven patches that are a little lighter on a totally black screen.
And when I turn on local dimming I think I can see a slight difference in the uniformity, it's almost like the places where black bars for movies would be are darker and the middle is slightly brighter.
It's a 2017 Vizio, still within the warranty.

Uniformity varies panel to panel with lcd TV's, some are better than others, and panels can and do vary even with the same model television.
Yeah, it seems it was fixed a few months ago. I guess it's about time lol
Not sure. I buy on occasion but don't remember it being that much.
They do sell some stuff via Amazon, so if it's on there (and you're prime) that might be cheaper? Haven't actually ever directly compared what they price at on AZ versus on their own site.
I'm thinking $4-$5,000 on the OLED prices, LGD's new factory will be fully operational by holiday 2020. We really need that 88" to come out and drop the 70" models from flagship status.
If you've ever looked at the inside of an LED TV, it's actually very basic and almost primitive how they're lit up. So it's no surprise that they have wide tolerances in brightness uniformity.
Yes this is not bug but a feature. Some panels are better than others but it's crapshoot.
Thanks, I'll take a look there too!
RedlineRonin Edit: just bought them on Monoprice. With the sale, the price was cheaper than elsewhere even with the $17 shipping charge.
p.s. I read your PDF last night on the ferry. SUPER helpful. Do you have any more recommended reading around how to actually wire? So my basement is only framed now, and effectively a blank slate. With that said, what's the best way to lay this cable? Behind the studs, in front, along the floor, etc.

Aright, don't think it's bad enough to take it back. I've heard a microfibre cloth may somehow help.
Absolutely not
What is the best way to really tell if the TV is performing well? I tried looking at gray gradients on youtube and it looked like crap.
Is there a test I can put on USB to really check it?

i think generally you go through the header vertically once you're in the section between studs you want and the run across the floor joists above the ceiling if it's all bare. To be clear, I have not done this myself. My on wall and in ceiling stuff has been a lot more hacked together since the walls were mostly closed.
Good question for the builder probably. Also maybe GearDraxon knows better on that one.
Can anyone answer my question about how Black Frame Insertion works? My understanding is that is smooths out motion for 60fps content? Is that correct? I played Gears 4 with it enabled last night and the motion was really clear.
It inserts a black frame between every frame. Makes motion clearer, but darkens the image. You might notice flickering as well.
I concur with RR on this. My knowledge base pretty much ends as soon as tools more complicated than a hammer get involved.
So let's say $5000 + $1000 for the PS5 and XB2 in 27 months (guessing Sept/Oct release).
$222 to stash away a month. Completely doable lol.
I didn't notice flicker but I did notice a banging headache after
Isn't this a bargain? http://www.abesofmaine.com/LG_E7_Se...mi5uxeYtFRIIrBrRuOxOM0bQpDUtG_WxoCNMMQAvD_BwE
RedlineRonin GearDraxon my builder is just going to do the wiring for me...
Now, the question is: if I'm doing this, should I just get a 5.1 system now

As with all things, the longer you wait, the better your options. Black Friday sales are a thing, given that margin on audio products (on the retailer end) is at least 50%.
Oh yeah I mean BF...for when the basement is ready. Basically I had planned to get a Sonos system for now and *maybe* eventually get a proper 5.1 system, but if it's wired I might as well do it right???
(I hate you guys lol)
Wait until you see how many questions I have :)
Plenty of time to get up to the amount with some planning!
RedlineRonin did you know this http://www.avsforum.com/apple-tv-4k-support-dolby-atmos/ ?
Sorry if i missed it being posted

Yeah, I was the one who posted it as it was announced at WWDC last week.
=)
Haha my bad, I was at a work conference last week and didn't go on much. That's awesome news though.
Regarding AVRs, my wife is worried that it'll make turning on the TV a chore. Help me pacify her
