If they want Oled, I'd snag an LG B8 on clearance.

Would I get a big improvement by upgrading my sony 65XD7505 (Sony LED from 2016, still selling on amazon UK for 1500, though I bought it for 1100 - I suspect the pricing is off), and going to OLED like a C9 or Samsung Q9?
They aren't picky at all. They care more about upgrading to a large size (they currently have a 50"). I'll check out the HiSense H9F. Thanks!
EDIT: It appears the 65" H9F is sold out at most retailers I've checked (Amazon, Best Buy, and WalMart). What would you suggest as a runner-up?

That has been the best part about calibrating my stuff. Everyone asks if you see a difference, and you might be able to on certain screens, but it's mainly about looking correct to me!
haha yeah, the sense of peace of mind that thinns areas they should be is great
Thanks - so the fact that there is 'only' a 500 difference on amazon is a pricing weirdness of amazon selling an old TV? Which of the two typically gets recommended?
The TCL 6 series would be great for them. Great budget pick for getting nice, real HDR.
I just bought and set up a 65" one from Best Buy for my mom. It looks great and the built in Roku OS menu is super easy to handle.
Was $699 but I think regular price is 799 or 899 for that size.
Make sure it's the 2019 model with QLED.

my bad!
I have mine on 50 (OLED light) and 50 (Brightness) and bar 17 flashes ever so slightly. Looks great in a pitch black room.

Dude, same. The only problem is my 5 year old knows how to turn on Disney+ and I KNOW she's going to update so I'll let you know what it ruins :)
Maybe I should make a separate thread, but I figure someone here would know the answer to this question. My wife and I recently completed a purchase on a new house, and the prior owner had the family room wired for surround sound/AV through the walls. Although I'm no expert in this regard, everything appears to be in order for when I go to hook stuff up, however I'm a little confused about the HDMI situation that is/was going on. One is a ~12 foot 4k cable in the wall that appears to have been set up to run from AV/media closet to TV, however there is also another that is running in the wall, back out of the wall into some kind of extender, with another HDMI cable coming out of that and running back into the wall over to where the TV would be. I'm thinking I should just rip that shit out because it seems pointless and ugly, but can anyone think why this would be setup? I have it pictured below, my best guess is that it was something he put in because there were no long 4K cables back when he did it? The extender is this: https://amazon.com/dp/B007Z881YC/?t...FjAAegQIBRAC&usg=AOvVaw0eCOyRKyHD1tNfxNf8y4E5
Which seems pretty old.
This is what the wall looks like:

I have a question regarding the upscaling capabilities of the LG (C9) Oleds. A friend of me bought one (C9 55") recently and said that upscaled 1080p content doesn't look good at all and that he's really disappointed.
I have no chance to see full HD content on a C9 (stores all run 4k content) and my friends lives too far away to check on his TV. My question, is full HD content really that bad on the LGs or is he possibly just overreacting or has some weird setting enabled? He said that it looks kinda pixelated.

Would you recommend current OLED tech for someone who intends to keep the TV for 8 or 9 years? Currently rocking a Sony KDL46HX803 which has served me well for 9 years - still a great picture. Upgrading for new console tech next year and whilst I understand burn-in concerns should be minimal, what about general degradation over a 8 to 9 year period?
Unless he is watching the TV like the girl from Poltergeist there is something wrong. 1080p material, especially blu-ray, should look stunning.
That's what I am hearing from other owners too. Good to know/be sure anyway. Thanks.
Thanks for getting back on this. Increasing OLED light from 40 to 50 helped and I can just about see 17 flashing now

Just tested that before I left for work so didn't get to see anything else. Going to work my way through all the basic settings videos tonight so will report back once I'm done

Send over your full settings when you're done. I'd be curious how they match up to mine.
It only adds HVEC Logo. Yep, it's an update simply to add a logo.
So it's safe to update? I haven't updated mine since 5.10.02 ish and that update broke voice control, which was fixed almost right away but I didn't bother with the update. The one problem I'm having right now is that the amazon app always crashes, "oops something went wrong" it happens way too often. I don't like using my ATV4K with amazon hdr10 shows because there's lip sync issues which aren't present when using the c8's amazon app.
I personally haven't update because what's the point for a damn logo? but I didn't see anyone reporting any issues. The changelog is just that, the logo, people on avsforum didn't say anything about introducing any unrelated issues, but what those people say it's the most I can say lol
Which hdmi 2.1 compatible device are you connecting to the tv?
The issue is we don't have HDMI 2.1 source yet. What frame rate and resolution are you trying to achieve at 444 10 bit?
Feel like an idiot, duh. Having the tv of course doesn't change the limitation yet. Thanks, excitement over the oled improvement still getting the better of me lol

For people that have Netflix (probably old but it's been just a couple week since I have it), is it normal that everything I watch, no matter if it's 4K DV with all the awesome shit, looks this grainy? Amazon Video looks crisp as fuck but Netflix always have this film grain that doesn't go away with my C8. I wonder if it's just an issue from the source.
It really just depends on the show. A ton of films/shows still use film grain so that's what you're seeing. There isn't a problem with your c8. Don't be like my friend who returned two 4k blu-rays of wonder woman because he didn't know a thing about film grain 😂
Yeah it's just so weird how is this noticeable in anything I saw coming from Netflix compared to Prime, Blu rays,etc... so I thought it may be common for Netflix.
So after having solved the hdcp issue between the C9 and the PS4 Pro (with a splitter, nothing else would work), I'm still having the following issues with the TV that are driving me nuts:
1. When I have the PC turned off and play PS4, for example, there is a constant popup message every ten seconds or so saying that the PC input wants to connect despite it being turned off. The only way right now to avoid this us to leave the PC turned on or disconnect it altogether. Both options are shit. Now I read on an official LG help page that this (or a similar sounding) problem can be solved by switching "listen mode" off in the screen share settings. Only problem: my screen share settings only show a "delete pairing history" option, nothing else. I also have all simplink, autodetect etc.-options turned off already.
2. Switching on devices or simply the light in the same room will cause the TV to show a black picture for a second.
Can any of you guys help me with these? This is such a good TV in theory but these technical problems have really soured my initial experience. :(

I really have to keep in mind that, besides OLED and some higher end LCDs and maybe some Samsung's, I need to stop getting so hung up on whether my 900F is "good enough" because I realize it's better than like 80% of people's tvs and that I read forums that include crazy people like me that still buys 4K Blu-ray's and expensive tvs.
Returning my i1Display Pro
Don't know why anyone would keep it when you can just calibrate your screen and get a full refund :P

What's that, jealousy and an existential crisis about my life? Lol.
IDK, Amazon even had an option for "No longer needed" and offered to exchange it immediately for something else

It happened. :) I won't have time to play around with it until this weekend, but I finally have a 4K TV. Goodbye 2012 Plasma!
Going from a plasma to a 77" OLED is a phenomenal upgrade. You'll be thrilled!
