Yup it has the newest mediatek chipset in it. This TV is gonna be the best buy model for next consoles.
The 'I need a next-gen proof TV' thread
- Thread starter manustany
- Start date
I played (and watched movies) on a 55E6V-Z several times and honestly, despite the perfect blacks, I still prefer a QLED panel. Maybe it's the brightness, maybe the better HDR, maybe it's just me!
I bought mine for $1500. There's some open-box listings you can find for ~$1300 but C9s are still maintaining their price. I have mine on a Best Buy payment plan to help reduce the sticker shock. So far, I love it. Absolutely bonkers image quality although I'm still tinkering with the Game mode picture settings to hit the sweet spot.
I'm not arguing anything.
yeah, i was looking into samsung TVs and it seems their lineup this year wasn't the best.
game modes are usually quite good in my experience, too. :(
C9 ALL THE WAY.
I've got 55 inch for gaming monitor for PC and a 77 inch for living room movies and PS4 and TV.
Worth. Every. Fucking. Cent.
Go to greentoe.com Just got my 77 inch at almost 1,000 off retail price.

Thanks for the clarification about the new 49 inches from Samsung. I knew both Q60T and Q80T doesn't have HDMI 2.1 but why no freesync? I don't have enough space for a 55' 😅
There is no new mode for burn in prevention since the Logo Luminance mode that was introduced with the C8. Also AFAIK the panels have been looked and there has not been an increasment of subpixels sizes since (again) the C8.
thats around what I'm finding now. Good idea with the payment plan, I might do that. Most I've ever spent on a tv was like $500 and that was an open box Sony x800D. I know I'm going to be kicking myself if it sells out everywhere and I miss it
I got a $1349 offer on Greentoe just last week, which is legit and all authorized resellers. You can try to submit a $1349 offer and see if you get the same one I did.
I got an open box best buy for 1300 not missing anything major
I got my C9 from Best Buy. 1399, 100 dollar BB gift card and 4 months of Apple Music.Pretty good deal. Not sure if it's stil going on.
I'm waiting until later in the year or early next year before buying a new TV, so I can get the best spec TV I can for next gen and my Panasonic UB820 4k Player. No point buying too early.
I just received the TCL 5 series and it's good for the price tbh. The 6 series has more features and is better, but was too big for me, I needed a smaller set at 43".
Filmmaker mode is just Technicolour with Warm2 instead of Warm1 white balance to be honest, which is why it replaced that mode on the X series TV's.
I've got my eye open.
Looks like LG CX 55 is the way to go. Don't want burn in. Don't care for LG. But it's the best one available when you get a warranty that covers burn in.
I just need to hear from Sony/Microsoft that the 2.1 in these is absolutely sufficient for the next 4-5 years

Yep, i lack the space for anything over 50" too since it was going in the bedroom.
Be very careful when buying a 49" TV to make sure it actually includes the features you want. It's very easy to see a lineup of TVs and read their features, and then later realize it doesn't apply to the 49" version.
Don't be this guy.

Before my purchase, I saw someone say something similar. It was never going to be a reason for me to choose the CX over the 9. The future-proofing with being update-able longer was the only thing making me consider it.
4K 120FPS, VRR.
Can you not save a bit longer? Since the new consoles won't be due until around October/November anyway.
Most of HDMi 2.1's features are of benefit to gamers.
- Increased bandwidth to allow both 4k and 120hz simultaneously (alongside HDR)
It also means you don't have to be in and our of your SX/PS5 video menus constantly switching between resolution and framerate focused outputs.
- Auto Low Latency Mode (ALLM) - Disables and enables game mode depending on content. Useful if you use video apps or the UHD player
- Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) -reduces stutter, tearing and input latency.
- Quick Frame Transport (QFT) Reduces input latency for non VRR panels
- Quick Media Switching (QMS)- resolution/refresh rate change without screen blanking
4K120 will be rare, but HDMI 2.1 is required for 10 bit 4K60 4:4:4 with HDR, which isn't an exotic scenario at all.
Currently slumming with an imperfect C8, which was kind of a regrettable purchase (I could have grabbed one locally at Best Buy for $2000 last March, but was waiting for the C9 specs/price and missed my opportunity, so I ended up having to get it online for the same amount in April, which also made it a lot harder to return). I had to get a new TV in any event though since my previous had died after two and a half years.
Unless the next-gen consoles have some godly "must have" early titles, I'll likely be good until at least 2022 and by that point I could either get a CXI, CXII (or however they they name them), or maybe even better an mLED.
Does that actually work? I haven't had any reason to bother with that yet, but I read that you can only get 120fps at 1080p.

I'm waiting to see TCL's new lineup. They've already promised an update for their 6-Series TV's to support VRR. I'm expecting even better features when they finally show what they've got cooking for their new line. I currently game on a 55" KS8000 which is great, but I have a 55" TCL R615 in another room just for general TV watching ,and for the money, it's pretty amazing. It's also considered to be a really good gaming TV with super low input lag.
LG C9
LG OLEDs are GOAT
My main reason for not upgrading from B7 to C9 is I'm worried there is a chance half step consoles will be 8k this time
Also there is no way in hell these consoles will run 4k120, so I figure I'll wait until the next console refresh for a new TV

True, although unless they LG have improved the 4:4:4 handling in a recent patch, I won't be using it.
I like his videos, but the weird sex jokes he keeps inserting here and there are absolutely terrible and cringe-inducing. Please stop.
Burn-in being a possibility makes OLED a no buy for me.
The quality is insane on OLED but I keep my tv on almost all the time so I'm a little afraid of this.

Yup. Or wait to see what TCL is doing. They goin OLED too.
Microled is still a few years out.
So im very interested in getting the LG CX 48 for use as my PC monitor as well as next gen console gaming display.
I'm really worried about burn-in especially when it comes to windows taskbar always on all the time when not playing games.
Is there any kind of setting windows has built-in to maybe change where the pixels are and offset them by 1 or 2 pixels on the screen to keep it from burning in?
(not sure if that makes sense to anyone)...

The TV does that itself, it will also dim if it detects no movement. You could always set a screensaver to go to a black screen after 30 seconds
I'm currently looking up the prices of the LGs and I gotta say I'm tempted, I really am, but without knowing what next gen looks software wise...
It's a hard call. I think what we consider "launch window" might extend all the way to 2022 software wise due to COVID, so I'm thinking about holding off until then.
Are the current TV prices also due to COVID? Or is the current range what I would expect normally?

I got it for even cheaper than ebay. By retail price I meant 4500, which is what they are selling for now on amazon and other sites.
I'll be shocked if half steps get to play one thing at 8k reliably in any way. 8k feels like such a waste.
