Quick question, is it worth to put in 2-3 hundred to buy the C9 instead of the B9? Thank you.
Oh no. That is no good at all. Did they deliver it to your house and take it out to make sure it was not broken ?
My other option is B&H .....
Use your motherboard HDMI to send audio.My GPU only has one HDMI. So I would need some external splitter that could handle a VRR signal. Does one exist?
They both have HDMI 2.1, they're both getting G-Sync, they're very close in terms of picture quality, I'd say get whichever's cheaper.Quick question, is it worth to put in 2-3 hundred to buy the C9 instead of the B9? Thank you.

I have a LG 65" E7 and a Panasonic 65FZ802B OLED. I'm going to wait for the top emission OLEDs which might be out in 2021.
Top Emission OLEDs sound like something I will want, even though I have no idea what they are. So, what are they?
You should be able to select 1440p as a resolution option.Thanks for the insight on my question yesterday people. I've decided to wait another year to see if I can splurge for a 77" C10, provided the prices become more reasonable.
Though I do have another question: Since the B7 doesn't accept 1440p, what can I do if I want to play a PC game at that resolution? I've researched but I can't get a clear answer. Some say use GPU scaling, others say use custom pc resolution. Thanks.

It's a method of production which will make the pixels slightly larger by having them ontop of the electronics that supply them with current.
this will be used to make the pixels a little brighter and to prolong the life of the pixels by supplying them with less current to do the same thing that previous displays did.
There is a good chance it will be limited to 8K displays to begin with
The only TVs with 2.1 are the LG OLEDs.Finding deals on stuff that's HDMI 2.1 compatible is more annoying than it should be. :( I'm trying to get a 55 inch that'll last me through next gen. Anything available for Black Friday?
If I could afford it, I would def get a Sony OLED over a comparable LG set. You can't beat their video processing and upscaling.I have a Sony AF9 as well and I love it. Only issue is when static elements cause the screen to dim - but you kinda buy into that when you buy an OLED so whatever
To answer you though, it's because the Sony sets are substantially more expensive and all of their panels are manufactured by LG anyways. LG's B and C-series are in the sweet spot for best performance to value.When we talk about OLED, it's always about LG. But what about a Sony OLED? The Sony A8G/AG8 for example?
I see praise for it on YouTube about how it's truly mind blowing and better than LG, no black crush etc. End of the day it's all subjective, but anyone here have a Sony A8G?
Ah, good to know. I'd thought there were more available at this point.
Absolutely. In fact, I would get the E-series if I could afford it. You get better speakers and a nicer (physical) design. They also use the best panels from the factory in their higher-series televisions.Quick question, is it worth to put in 2-3 hundred to buy the C9 instead of the B9? Thank you.
They're worth it.Ah, good to know. I'd thought there were more available at this point.
Guess I should just try to get one of those. Thank you!
Correct. I have a b7, just create a custom resolution. Works with no issues.

yeah, and with static HUD elements in games. In Gran Turismo Sport, it's very easily noticableDo you mean when you pause? I've not noticed it on mine, and I had to disable ASBL on my LG because it kept coming on during dark programs such as Game of Thrones.

Yep and I think that's my problem. If I turned it down, I wouldn't notice it too much.I haven't played that but haven't noticed it in other games as of yet. Do you max out brightness in Game mode?
Although a lot of TVs already have features of HDMI 2.1.
My Samsung Q90R has VRR, auto low latency mode, and will be getting an eARC update this month. It also will do 4k at 120Hz, albeit at a lower chroma subsampling. I don't think I'll ever use this feature in the timeframe I am using this TV, but it's there.
If you want HDMI 2.1, you should probably also know what features you really want from the HDMI 2.1 spec. It may be that other TVs also have those features, despite not having HDMI 2.1 yet.
So the only HDMI 2.1 feature that my TV is missing that the LG TVs have is 4k@120Hz with 4:4:4 chroma subsampling. VRR, ALLM, and eARC are far more useful.
Yes, I believe that's the case.I'm imagining you're getting 4:2:0 chroma at 4K 120? Still cool to have though, whilst gaming it's extremely hard to spot the differences of 4:2:0 vs 4:4:4 anyhow.

TV bought! 1999 + 350 for the 2 year warranty and removal of my 300 pound plasma.
I feel like I got away with something. The thing dropped $500 from yesterday!
Neat, looking forward to see people try out Chroma 420 4k 120 when it is updated on the LG c9.Although a lot of TVs already have features of HDMI 2.1.

so my busted lg b8 finally got returned to amazon but they haven't acknowledged it on the order yet
more waiting it is ;_;
I believe there is a test for sharpness on the free AVS Forum calibration pattern disc/file
I wouldn't use YouTube for any calibration patterns as you don't know whether they introduce artificial artefacts when uploading, so you can only really do it with a calibration pattern. basically are presented with a pattern with multiple white lines on it (or black depending on the pattern) and you turn sharpness all the way down then gradually increase it till you start to see ringing around the straight lines. You are definitely losing details with an LG set to 0 unless of course this is something LG have changed with recent generations.
By most accounts, current OLED TVs are more resistant to burn in than plasma—though this will depend on how it's used. There are certain features that can reduce or delay the occurrence of burn in on OLED TVs that plasma didn't have. Using OLED as a PC monitor ups the risk only if you're using it to do regular PC tasks. If you're just using it for gaming and media viewing, then it's not an issue. If you didn't have burn in on a plasma under these circumstances, then you'll probably be fine on OLED too. Also keep in mind that it isn't a thousand hours per se, but that thousand (or usually several thousand) hours refers to cumulative hours of the same static content displayed over time.
For the 2018 and 2019 LG OLEDs, the Sharpness setting behaves differently depending on the context. At a value of 0, it's completely disabled in every instance and is generally the correct setting. A value between 1-10 will actually not add any sharpening, but instead apply a form of antialiasing to anything below the TV's native 4K resolution; if you send the TV a 4K signal, then Sharpness will still be disabled at 10 or less. The anti aliasing can remove certain artifacts caused by the TV's scaling, but it can also cause other artifacts and make the picture a bit softer in certain instances. A value of 11 or higher isn't recommended as turns it into a traditional sharpness control and adds ringing to the image with any signal.
EDIT: The sharpness pattern in the link holygeesus posted is a good tool to figure out the right setting. Just keep in mind the setting you chose based on that pattern will only be applicable to 1080p or lower resolution content.
LG approved my request for extended warranty, and have notified the nearest approved vendor to send someone over to look over/repair my TV.
Has anyone gone through this process before? I'm a bit nervous about someone coming upstairs and handling my TV. I'm sure they're professionals and won't drop it or anything, but I'm just curious how these types of things are handled.
In the case of vertical banding, would they replace the whole panel? Is there anything I should be cautious or mindful of? Just want to be prepared and make sure I don't come out with a worse-looking TV when all is said and done.
DOTDASHDOT I've been using my integral 2 for about 6 months as a replacement for my linker and it has been great. Got rid of those HDR issues I had with the linker where I had to disable HDR when I wasn't using it. It'll serve me well until I likely pick up a c10 next year around this time.

I think it is a lot less finicky than when I had a B6 but you could on the 8-series, so it might still be possible.
Whether you should do it is open to debate, but I never had any screen burn or any other issue doing it back in the day.
Edit - I mean the ASBL is less finicky. Seems to work better now when watching dark scenes.
I honestly don't even recognize ABL while watching stuff or playing games on my C9. That was one of my biggest fear, but i couldn't be happier.
Hi folks! I wanted to get an idea of the kind of discounts to expect for BF on the C9/B9 sets. Currently looking at 65in versions and was wondering if I can expect it to drop around the $1700 range? I was trying to add on a warranty and don't really want to go over $2k. Thanks for any help!
The 65" C9 just dropped yesterday to an official price (likely a November 'extended black Friday' thing) of $2099.99. You may find cheaper on some of the online vendors closer to or on actual Black Friday, but I'm not sure you'll see much movement under that at regular retail.
Has anyone bought and utilized a Squaretrade warranty? I'm likely going to buy my set from Value Electronics (maybe this week given the new price) and get calibration with it, which already gets me a somewhat pre-screened (as in they make sure you're not getting a lemon with no-go banding/tinting), but was also wanting to add some warranty onto it since I'm new to OLED and I'm not sure these modern sets are as robust as my 10 year old plasma has been.
I ended up splurging on a Amazon Refurbished 55" model. 😛 Considering all the praise $1350 for it felt like a great deal.
