If you can still find a Sony 65" X930E I'd give that a shot, if not then Sony X900F is also very good.
I still see aliasing on my 55" B7 at 4k sitting 9 ft away. I've done some downsampling from 8k, and it completely resolves aliasing even with AA off and getting right up on the screen.
Did you try unplugging it and plugging back in, and then running a comp cycle?
I have one of these. Had a 60" Vizio and just upgraded to a 75" Samsung. Tv is 80+ lbs and it holds up fine. Tv legs were wider though, so had to move it closer to the front so it could stand properly since the glass is narrower at the back.
Seriously though... I don't want to wall mount my TVs but why the fuck are wide TV benches so expensive??

I don't recall the B7 and C7 having different SoCs -- at the time, if I recall, the only differences were the speakers and ability to internally decode Dolby Atmos sound (C7 has a gimmick "2.2" setup as to where the B7 is just 2.0). It didn't matter as I use an external amp/stereo setup.
Oh man, I think I had my settings on my Shield TV wrong all this time for my Panasonic 65VT60 Plasma. I had nonstandard color range set on the TV and full range set on the Nvidia Shield, but I don't think the shield was sending the latter or something. I instead went in and just had it send YUV 4.2.2 which worked and the picture is fucking glorious. I now have a setup to turn off my room's lights with voice control, bias lighting behind the TV that is powered by the TV and only turns on with the TV, and a 17 x 17 room only dedicated to my TV, home theater speakers, and computer desk (coming from a small apartment). Fucking glorious picture, now I really understand what people meant by the deep blacks this set was capable of. Now I'm finally getting something closer to my beloved Kuro.
VT60 has
As a plasma the best motion resolution you are going to get on a flat panel that is only bested by a CRT. LCD and OLED can't compete.
No crushed blacks at all and they go DEEP and show all the detail
No stuttering
Incredible color
More than adequate light for watching in the dark
Doesn't have:
4K
HDR and light that gets eye searing
Absurdly low ms, but I've been more than fine with the levels it gives me on gaming mode
Thanks for confirming -- I remember doing my research before getting the B7 over the C7 and was certain the SoCs were the same.
+1, I recently bought the A9F and came to the same conclusion. I run it in custom mode with BFI turned on and It looks very "plasma-esque". The picture reminds me of the old Elite Kuros, especially watching 24p movies. Even the build quality reminds me of the days of solid metal and glass plasma. I've had a B6 but never felt like it was a straight upgrade from my Panasonic plasma. It always looked kind of LCD-ish.
Cool. In 2017, I liked the stand on the B7 better than the stand on the C7, hence my decision at the time. I'll evaluate accordingly in 2019.
Announcing the partnership in September doesn't mean that's when it started. Either way I'm ready, come what may. Another year with the B7 won't kill me.
