I upgrade from 65 inch to 77 inch oled with a hometheatre 7.1 system driven by a Denon. It,s absolute amazing. Greetings from sweden really like this channel.
I’d just like to express my appreciation for not just your approach and knowledge, but especially for your skill as a presenter. It’s such a relief to hear a TH-cam presenter who doesn’t sound like they learned to speak by listening to text-to-speech engines, which would be about 80% of TH-cam these days. Either you had actual training or you’re just a natural, but either way it’s a relief to hear a human who sounds like a human 🙂
I just upgraded my “home theater” I went from a 60 inch led tv with a basic sound bar to a 65 inch leg b2 oled tv with the Vizio elevate sound bar. It’s a huge upgrade for me and I love it! This would be on another level if I could afford this set up
No replacement for TV being 90” or more, been watching 90” for 10yrs an haven’t went to the movies since along with klipsch 7.1 surround, I can only imagine the picture an sound of that setup, another good video👍👍
If it actually does become more affordable maybe I'll buy one. Even an 83" oled would be amazing lol I just bought a 75" tcl 5 series to hold me over for roughly five years till technology is better lol
Yeah, it was like 10 years ago when a LED 55 inch TV would have cost you 2-3k and a 65 was 4-5k. Now they cost 400-800 dollars and are so much better. Just wait it out a few years and a 100 inch will probably be 3-5k.
Yes more like this. Currently running a 9.2.6 in my livingroom with a 77" LG GX. Full 15 Klipsch Reference Premier speakers for 22'. Anthem AVM 70 8k for processor. This video makes me smile. Good going Caleb
Do you feel like the AVM 70 and adequate amps opens up well for your Klipsch setup? I've heard Klipsch is extremely efficient so you don't need a ton of amperage but I wanting to get a Emotiva XPA-7 Gen 3 and an AVM 70 for my Klipsch 8000F's, 504C, 600Ms, and 502S surrounds to see if it makes a big difference or not. I'd be going from an old Onkyo AVR so I know I'll see improvements going with separates but not sure how significant it would be.
@Branden S Yes I do. I came from Denon X4700h. Since going to Avm 70 8k my sound is louder & great chan separation. The picture is clearer. I use to watch general yt videos on All chan stereo. Now i watch everything on Dolby surround,dts x, atmos. I could've went Avm 70 but I wanted hdmi 2.1. I love my 9.2.6 & my 14.3x18.4 livinroom isn't too small, especially when I don't listen to multi chan stereo. Fyi, my speaker setup is 1 RP 504C II 6 RP-600M IIs, 2 RP-502SIIs & 6 R-41sa for atmos
I have a very similar Klipsch Atmos enabled system with most of the same stuff in this. Its no joke. That sound makes the real measurable difference in my home theater. I've just got a "75 QLED and its great, but the sound is the real game changer. Two big Klipsch 10" subs, the brand new Atmos and center channels in this vid are part of my setup.. my L/R and Surround are a little older, but they're still Klipsch reference series, and sound incredible.
I'd like to see you do full system reviews at different price points, and include the options you considered - like top 3 TVs in a given price range, etc.
Nothing can replace a proper good quality multichannel setup. So many people think that soundbars are a solid replacement. Nope. I've heard a lot of various models, and my Kef Q series running through my Anthem MRX740 is an immense joy to listen to every time. Overall, the cost of the components wasn't that high.
I am extremely grateful to have these kinds of videos because it let's us see what the best can do, nobody gets mad at supercar drivers, so we shouldn't be jealous of halo tech products, enjoy life and stay healthy.
I think I am pretty close! 83 inch c1, Marantz sr7013 and 7.2 of Canton ergo speakers! Took about 7 months of buying and selling but the whole setup has put me out of pocket around 4000 usd. One day I hope 97 becomes the next 83-85 in terms of price and I will for sure upgrade.
@@BigDavos Agreed. Unless you live in a large house and have very deep pockets I don't think anyone should be paying 24 grand just for a tv. Go with a tv that is somewhat smaller like maybe a 75" and only when prices for a 97" are more like what 65" and maybe 75 " are now. The speakers to fill up an average size house with good sound don't have to be nearly as large as these either but at least the cost of all the speakers in this video isn't what will break the bank for most people. The tv however is a different story. Unless you are wealthier than the average dude it makes no sense to be spending $24,000 dollars on a tv.

I've read that LG wants to get this down to 10k in 3 years or so as they improve manufacturing large displays like this. It seems really appealing at that price when you compare it to a projector setup.
Glad to see the Integra get some love. Would love to see more videos on receivers/in-wall speaker integration. Looking at Marantz Cinema 50 (or Integra 5.4) + B&W Reference series in-walls for next build.
I'm about to buy a new TV for my home theatre room and have been vacillating between a short throw projector or a 77 inch LG C2 OLED. I'd love a TV like this, but until they fold the biggest set I can comfortably get down my stairs is a 77 incher. Who knows what the next few years will bring. Enjoyed the review.
@@JamesBond-kx3kl Exactly, after watching 'Wednesday' on my older 55 inch LG OLED and just being blown away by the picture quality I just can't bring myself to get a UST. Quality over quantity.
@@living757 I know the G2 is supposed to be a tad better than the C2 but for me it wasn't worth an extra $1000 for the 77" G2. As for the size, it is 9.5" taller and 17.4" wider. Definitely noticeably bigger but 10x the price bigger? Meh If I won the lottery, it's a no-brainer. But for me I'd spend $25k on a dedicated HT with an Epson LS-12000 and 120" screen I think
great video. what i'd like to know is why 12 more inches of screen costs 4 or 5 times the amount of an 85"? The mass market has been stuck on this 80-86 for over a decade. I think This size of a screen should have been more accessible by now.
Just got a month ago the Samsung 97” nano Qled and I’m extremely happy with it, for sound I got a Pioneer Elite and 7.1 klipsh sytem with a 12” Paradigm sub
I'm on a tight budget. I adore my LG CX and my 5.1 satellite speaker setup through Denon receiver all gets the job done, but this setup is like the ultimate wet dream for me.
Absolutely awesome!! 💯 I would LOVE to see more of these; once per quarter or even once per year. These videos are for the dreamers who want their dreams to come true, but just need a reason. They need the inspiration and the WHY to Do Whatever it Takes to Own a System Like This. This IS THAT VIDEO. I am so glad that you were able to experience this. Sincerest thanks for giving us all a dream to aspire to!! You're awesome and I wish you nothing but the best in 2023!
The original Klipsch setup video was 7 years ago now?!! I remember watching that when it was first uploaded, definitely some nice improvements with the new one 👍
Whether reference or packaged, I would like to see a video where you do your best to find/assemble an atmos capable system that gets as close as possible to this one in performance in the smallest possible footprint.
Man, I wish more people reviewed Rythmik subs. I had the 15 inch Klipsch ported subs for years. Switched to Rythmik last year. Absolutely unreal. I know svs, monolith get all the love but if you want some of the best bass quality you will hear for an amazing price get them. I have dual sealed 18 inch and can never go back.
I paid 2k for my 75 inch oled from sony so basically a more then 1000% increase in price gets me roughly 20% more inches the diminishing returns are astounding past 80in
Not worth it at the moment. I would just keep that 75 inch and wait another 5 years. By then they probably will have found a way to sell 95 inch TVs for 4-5k which would not be bad
Wow I’m super impressed with this setup , I enjoy all your tv / speakers review and analysis Super Fun and Educational for all of Us , Sincerely Thank You So Much Cheers !!!!!
Love this. It’s amazing to see how far Calab has come. And, yes, on the nose, how close can we get to this system at a fraction of the cost. Let’s keep having fun!
This is pretty sick! I currently have a 5.1 system with a pair of tactile transducers and it is amazing. Hopefully, I'll soon be able to add rear/height channels. I also get the giant TV experience up close! My girlfriend and I bought ourselves a 75" Hisense U6G for about $800. Can't believe we got so much screen for so little money! One day for sure I'll push for OLED.
Watching again and chuckling at the ~$32,000 (incl. cabling, stands, bias lighting, sound deadening material?) total cost, and ... the cheap office couch that's an ordeal to sit in. :D Maybe ... up the ante to $34,000 and get decent seating? Or put the extra $ into escrow for a chiropractor on call.
Ive had a Klipsch set up for about 10 years , definitely worth the investment. My Tv’s have changed but not the speakers. Had a 65 oled , went with a 75 inch qled but my only regret is not getting a 77 oled from the previous year. I prefer oled over any other type of tv. The 77 oled is coming eventually.
Thank you for the video, this panel is amazing! What stand is it on? Do the feet come with it? and if not, where would one get these? Thank you in advance!
I’m downsizing to smaller home and theater location is a concern of mine but this tv is the answer I was looking for. It’s perfect for my new home and hopefully when my new home is finished it will be a little cheaper 😂
What I like about this video and this soon to be series is that you have amazing sound speakers going with an amazing screen. Sometimes you have amazing screens with not so great of a sound system to go with it so this is perfect. Looking forward to the series if it happens! Mahalo!!
THANK YOU for telling it like it is. I know you are a Sony A95K fan but you REALLY seem to lose it when it came to experiencing the 97" LG G2. I like how you mentioned the size of it in a room and the sitting distance compared to the 65", it's exactly what I thought. I can go on about your review but you said it best. I also want to thank you for reviewing the Klipsch speakers and the receiver with them. I couldn't tell you how many times I go and look at those in stores only imagining it together with the 97" LG G2. Last note, If you don't cry once having to depart from that TV, I'll do it for you. - Thanks again!
Dude you got it into the studio!!! Happy for you man. I've been living my G2, interesting that you didn't have to move the 97 inch, wonder what that's like. The G2 is hands down an experience to let wash over you.
What was it that you were watching at the 14:29 mark on the awful couch? The landscape of the video kind of did the TV justice in how big the presence of the actual TV is.
This is very interesting. I was not aware of the LG 97" TV. The good news for me is that we have a dedicated home theater and I'm now using a 2K projector and a 120" screen. I'm thinking of upgrading. My wife prefers the look of front projection. We find projection looks more "filmic" with movies. Even if I could afford the LG, I think I'll go with a much less expensive 4K projector, such as the Epson. Since I can go all the way down to total darkness, light pollution is not an issue.
That tv is my dream for my system. I have an 11 channel w/ Klipsch rf7 iiis, all Klipsch surrounds, svs pb 16 ultra, JTR cap4000 and just got an 85 inch Samsung qn90b. Which is a great big tv for my theater. But a 97 inch oled would be my ultimate. One day when they becom more affordable. At least I have the sound system where I want it.
Hi Caleb, The video has a dead pixel imbedded in the very lower middle of the screen. Can see at the 5:52 marker as well as later in the video with scanning shots of the speakers. Please confirm so I don't have to return my brand new G2.
"Too big for most living rooms" is not really the case. Even for those who doesn't want the "cinema-massive" feel in their living room can use 25" pr meter of seating distance. Having 3-5 meter between you and the TV is not that uncommon. Same goes for wall space, its big yeah but not that rare to have a living room with 3+ meters of wall space to mount something like this. For most i'd say the bigger issue is having a room with enough volume and space to properly place something like a 7-9.2 + atmos setup, much more than they would accommodating 100" of screen. I'v used 110" at 3.5meter and that was big, but still not too big. Also much love to Klipsch, they are found in every room here (cinema room, living room, office, bedroom). Great performance without totally breaking the bank.
I think it would be cool to have this type of set ups in the future. How close can you get for a fraction of the price? Only someone like you that has seen and heard so many different speakers can compare the differences. Lets get NASTY! lol
For starters, you can get a 98" QLED from TCL for about $5000. That alone pushes the whole setup below $10000. The Klipsch speakers are a pretty good deal already, so I don't think you will get much better for the price other than waiting for sales or building yourself.
I would love to go with a massive OLED but unfortunately most TV still isn't in 4k and until content catches up, it's tough to justify the investment. It's nearly impossible to even find a legal way to watch NHL games let alone do so above 480p. Until content providers catch up to the technology, the upgrade isn't worth it.
So true. Most tv content at least in Canada is delivered at a much lower resolution than what this 97" led is capable of delivering so you are paying big bucks for a tv that will likely be used for low resolution content if you mostly watch broadcast tv. It's like buying a Ferrari or some other exotic car and then only being allowed to use it for puttering around town. I don't understand why so much of broadcast television lags so far behind what tv manufacturers are making in terms of capable resolution. What's the hold up on getting more high resolution content?
Broadcast tv isn’t in 4k, but I don’t think that qualifies as “most tv” anymore going into 2023. Netflix, iTunes, Hulu, and other streaming services offer 4k. Not to mention physical media being superior to all of that when it comes to movies. There is more than enough content to make the purchase worth it.
You will never get a movie theaters like experience from any TV. There's something in reflective light that appeals to me more than OLED. I have a 150" of screen real estate in my bedroom and a projector. Combine it with automatic window blinds and it beats everything in TV world for a fraction of price. I don't go to the movies anymore except Avatar 2 for a reference experience. Can't wait to be released for home theaters so I can compare to my bedroom Atmos setup. Bet it's damn close!
Sweet set-up! How many cubic ft is the room? I have several systems for different things and cannot get enough of this type of content. Which blu ray player are you using for multi channel sacd's? The RP280FA's are still available for $699/pr as are the RP160m's for $195/pr. JBL has the Sub550P for $189 and the SVS PB1000 (non pro version) is regularly available for $499 and RSL Speedwoofer 10S MKii is $450. Amazon Basics RCA cables work great for very little $. The Denon AVR X4700H is $1500 plus the Onkyo TX RZ1100 is $1200 on the Onkyo website. The Denon AVR X3700H is now $1200. All of these products will equal or best what you have shown for much less money because they are not the newest models.
@digitaltrends, without MLA in the 97 inch G4, how is the brightness? I can't tell if your room has windows and a high level of sunlight, so would you be able to comment on that long term?
I definitely can't afford it but its really great to dream a little and its great to see what is possible for today's tech. I have always thought that unless you can afford to spend $30,000+ on a really top-notch projector and screen, projector's just don't make sense for the average home setting when compared to buying the large format OLED or LCD as the colour vibrancy and image quality, not to mention ease of connection and setup of the tv's is So much better. But this tv takes that to an extreme.

I'd love a TV like this, but until they fold the biggest set I can comfortably get down my stairs is a 77 incher. Who knows what the next few years will bring. Enjoyed the review.
I have the 77" C2. Definitely recommend. It's better than a UST. If you want bigger, then maybe go UST. If you want better, get the C2
I would love to see a comparison between the 77inch C2 and this. It’s 1/10 the price so i’d be curious as to how immersive it is in comparison.
@@JamesBond-kx3kl Exactly, after watching 'Wednesday' on my older 55 inch LG OLED and just being blown away by the picture quality I just can't bring myself to get a UST. Quality over quantity.
I have mine and I love it
@@living757 I know the G2 is supposed to be a tad better than the C2 but for me it wasn't worth an extra $1000 for the 77" G2.
As for the size, it is 9.5" taller and 17.4" wider. Definitely noticeably bigger but 10x the price bigger? Meh
If I won the lottery, it's a no-brainer. But for me I'd spend $25k on a dedicated HT with an Epson LS-12000 and 120" screen I think
great video. what i'd like to know is why 12 more inches of screen costs 4 or 5 times the amount of an 85"? The mass market has been stuck on this 80-86 for over a decade. I think This size of a screen should have been more accessible by now.
dude thank you - I am getting a big cash windfall soon enough, and you helped me decide on a home theater setup!
Yes! More content like this. I currently have a 5.1.2 klipsch/onkyo system and a 70" tv, based on some of the reviews from this channel.
Just got a month ago the Samsung 97” nano Qled and I’m extremely happy with it, for sound I got a Pioneer Elite and 7.1 klipsh sytem with a 12” Paradigm sub
0.0 What that set you back, 30-35?
Those Paradigm subs are niice *thumbsup*
Congratulations, I have the same setup except my sub is different brand. Sounds amazing.
Yes, more like this! We can dream, can't we?
I'm on a tight budget. I adore my LG CX and my 5.1 satellite speaker setup through Denon receiver all gets the job done, but this setup is like the ultimate wet dream for me.
Big HT fan! Great job reviewing a complete system in 15min while covering all the bases. More!
Absolutely awesome!! 💯 I would LOVE to see more of these; once per quarter or even once per year. These videos are for the dreamers who want their dreams to come true, but just need a reason. They need the inspiration and the WHY to Do Whatever it Takes to Own a System Like This.
This IS THAT VIDEO. I am so glad that you were able to experience this. Sincerest thanks for giving us all a dream to aspire to!!
You're awesome and I wish you nothing but the best in 2023!
This was definitely my favorite video you've made this year. It gives me something to dream about and maybe have something close one day.
At the angle of the TV between 5:20 and 5:35 the green foliage looked like it was in front of the TV. Like separate. That was awesome.
The original Klipsch setup video was 7 years ago now?!! I remember watching that when it was first uploaded, definitely some nice improvements with the new one 👍
Whether reference or packaged, I would like to see a video where you do your best to find/assemble an atmos capable system that gets as close as possible to this one in performance in the smallest possible footprint.
Make it a series, please.
Man, I wish more people reviewed Rythmik subs. I had the 15 inch Klipsch ported subs for years. Switched to Rythmik last year. Absolutely unreal. I know svs, monolith get all the love but if you want some of the best bass quality you will hear for an amazing price get them. I have dual sealed 18 inch and can never go back.
I paid 2k for my 75 inch oled from sony so basically a more then 1000% increase in price gets me roughly 20% more inches the diminishing returns are astounding past 80in
Not worth it at the moment.
I would just keep that 75 inch and wait another 5 years.
By then they probably will have found a way to sell 95 inch TVs for 4-5k which would not be bad
My dream setup here, Keep these videos coming
I've got most of these Klipsch components, swapping the surrounds for the Klipsch bipoles, and can confirm everything works together so well.
Wow I’m super impressed with this setup , I enjoy all your tv / speakers review and analysis Super Fun and Educational for all of Us , Sincerely Thank You So Much Cheers !!!!!
Best review yet on this channel.
Dam! That’s my DREAM setup 👀🔥
Love this. It’s amazing to see how far Calab has come. And, yes, on the nose, how close can we get to this system at a fraction of the cost. Let’s keep having fun!
This is pretty sick! I currently have a 5.1 system with a pair of tactile transducers and it is amazing. Hopefully, I'll soon be able to add rear/height channels. I also get the giant TV experience up close! My girlfriend and I bought ourselves a 75" Hisense U6G for about $800. Can't believe we got so much screen for so little money! One day for sure I'll push for OLED.
1 mil, congrats
Thanks Much ! and Merry Christmas!
Where did you get that fantastic screensaver behind you on your video?
I am rockin tbis speaker system and I could not be more pleased. Wish I had that TV to compliment it
Watching again and chuckling at the ~$32,000 (incl. cabling, stands, bias lighting, sound deadening material?) total cost, and ... the cheap office couch that's an ordeal to sit in. :D Maybe ... up the ante to $34,000 and get decent seating? Or put the extra $ into escrow for a chiropractor on call.
Awesome video and awesome year Caleb!! Best TV & AV channel hands down!! Happy Holidays Caleb!
Ive had a Klipsch set up for about 10 years , definitely worth the investment. My Tv’s have changed but not the speakers. Had a 65 oled , went with a 75 inch qled but my only regret is not getting a 77 oled from the previous year. I prefer oled over any other type of tv. The 77 oled is coming eventually.
Yes more ideal set ups please. Would like to see you do a gaming video on that beast!
Make it a series please these vids are awesome 😎
Thank you for the video, this panel is amazing! What stand is it on? Do the feet come with it? and if not, where would one get these? Thank you in advance!
Off topic but you're looking good man. I'm happy for you.
I’m downsizing to smaller home and theater location is a concern of mine but this tv is the answer I was looking for. It’s perfect for my new home and hopefully when my new home is finished it will be a little cheaper 😂
What I like about this video and this soon to be series is that you have amazing sound speakers going with an amazing screen. Sometimes you have amazing screens with not so great of a sound system to go with it so this is perfect. Looking forward to the series if it happens! Mahalo!!
We have the tv in stock, we will have it on display in my store in two weeks! Can’t wait
Thankyou Caleb for all the great content this year.
Merry Christmas to you and your family.
THANK YOU for telling it like it is. I know you are a Sony A95K fan but you REALLY seem to lose it when it came to experiencing the 97" LG G2. I like how you mentioned the size of it in a room and the sitting distance compared to the 65", it's exactly what I thought. I can go on about your review but you said it best. I also want to thank you for reviewing the Klipsch speakers and the receiver with them. I couldn't tell you how many times I go and look at those in stores only imagining it together with the 97" LG G2. Last note, If you don't cry once having to depart from that TV, I'll do it for you. - Thanks again!
Dude you got it into the studio!!! Happy for you man. I've been living my G2, interesting that you didn't have to move the 97 inch, wonder what that's like. The G2 is hands down an experience to let wash over you.
I've been watching this channel for a while only to realize on a random week night we work in the same office tower.
That Klipsch RP system is my dream.
Great video mate!!! Watching this my wife said, in so many words, don't even think about it!!! LOL!!! What an amazing set up!!! Merry Christmas!!!
I would like to see recommended budget home theather choices with Atmos having surprising features and future proof , eventually PC based
What was it that you were watching at the 14:29 mark on the awful couch? The landscape of the video kind of did the TV justice in how big the presence of the actual TV is.
its a great idea i would love to watch more of these kinds of videos. awesome channel btw
This is very interesting. I was not aware of the LG 97" TV. The good news for me is that we have a dedicated home theater and I'm now using a 2K projector and a 120" screen. I'm thinking of upgrading. My wife prefers the look of front projection. We find projection looks more "filmic" with movies. Even if I could afford the LG, I think I'll go with a much less expensive 4K projector, such as the Epson. Since I can go all the way down to total darkness, light pollution is not an issue.
Agree more like at cinema. Went from JVC HD to JVC nx7 , 4K with 120” screen in bat cave.
Been rocking the first 4k tv from Sony. As soon as the 97-98 inch OLED series come down to sub 10k, I’ll get one. Otherwise, it’s just a dream.
This is the dream set up. 😍
That tv is my dream for my system. I have an 11 channel w/ Klipsch rf7 iiis, all Klipsch surrounds, svs pb 16 ultra, JTR cap4000 and just got an 85 inch Samsung qn90b. Which is a great big tv for my theater. But a 97 inch oled would be my ultimate. One day when they becom more affordable. At least I have the sound system where I want it.
That TV and set up is massive Caleb Happy Holidays 🎄⛄🦌🆒❄️🤶🎅👍🆒
Hi Caleb,
The video has a dead pixel imbedded in the very lower middle of the screen. Can see at the 5:52 marker as well as later in the video with scanning shots of the speakers. Please confirm so I don't have to return my brand new G2.
I want this exact setup! I would never leave home!
"Too big for most living rooms" is not really the case. Even for those who doesn't want the "cinema-massive" feel in their living room can use 25" pr meter of seating distance.
Having 3-5 meter between you and the TV is not that uncommon.
Same goes for wall space, its big yeah but not that rare to have a living room with 3+ meters of wall space to mount something like this.
For most i'd say the bigger issue is having a room with enough volume and space to properly place something like a 7-9.2 + atmos setup, much more than they would accommodating 100" of screen.
I'v used 110" at 3.5meter and that was big, but still not too big.
Also much love to Klipsch, they are found in every room here (cinema room, living room, office, bedroom). Great performance without totally breaking the bank.
I think it would be cool to have this type of set ups in the future. How close can you get for a fraction of the price? Only someone like you that has seen and heard so many different speakers can compare the differences. Lets get NASTY! lol
For starters, you can get a 98" QLED from TCL for about $5000. That alone pushes the whole setup below $10000. The Klipsch speakers are a pretty good deal already, so I don't think you will get much better for the price other than waiting for sales or building yourself.
"...and concert videos -- cue A&B cameo!" 🙌
I would love to go with a massive OLED but unfortunately most TV still isn't in 4k and until content catches up, it's tough to justify the investment. It's nearly impossible to even find a legal way to watch NHL games let alone do so above 480p. Until content providers catch up to the technology, the upgrade isn't worth it.
You could always get a projector. And in let's say 5 years you get the Oled
So true. Most tv content at least in Canada is delivered at a much lower resolution than what this 97" led is capable of delivering so you are paying big bucks for a tv that will likely be used for low resolution content if you mostly watch broadcast tv. It's like buying a Ferrari or some other exotic car and then only being allowed to use it for puttering around town. I don't understand why so much of broadcast television lags so far behind what tv manufacturers are making in terms of capable resolution. What's the hold up on getting more high resolution content?
Broadcast tv isn’t in 4k, but I don’t think that qualifies as “most tv” anymore going into 2023. Netflix, iTunes, Hulu, and other streaming services offer 4k. Not to mention physical media being superior to all of that when it comes to movies. There is more than enough content to make the purchase worth it.
please review 150 inch ls800 projector
The price step up on the tv for a few more inches is crazy. A ‘budget’ 80:inch version would be well worth considering
You will never get a movie theaters like experience from any TV. There's something in reflective light that appeals to me more than OLED. I have a 150" of screen real estate in my bedroom and a projector. Combine it with automatic window blinds and it beats everything in TV world for a fraction of price. I don't go to the movies anymore except Avatar 2 for a reference experience. Can't wait to be released for home theaters so I can compare to my bedroom Atmos setup. Bet it's damn close!
Awesome video! 🔥
Can't wait for ces next month see the new tvs for next season are you going
Sweet set-up! How many cubic ft is the room? I have several systems for different things and cannot get enough of this type of content. Which blu ray player are you using for multi channel sacd's? The RP280FA's are still available for $699/pr as are the RP160m's for $195/pr. JBL has the Sub550P for $189 and the SVS PB1000 (non pro version) is regularly available for $499 and RSL Speedwoofer 10S MKii is $450. Amazon Basics RCA cables work great for very little $. The Denon AVR X4700H is $1500 plus the Onkyo TX RZ1100 is $1200 on the Onkyo website. The Denon AVR X3700H is now $1200. All of these products will equal or best what you have shown for much less money because they are not the newest models.
Nice review keep up the good work happy holiday to you and your family
@digitaltrends, without MLA in the 97 inch G4, how is the brightness? I can't tell if your room has windows and a high level of sunlight, so would you be able to comment on that long term?
Caleb, you are my king.
I definitely can't afford it but its really great to dream a little and its great to see what is possible for today's tech. I have always thought that unless you can afford to spend $30,000+ on a really top-notch projector and screen, projector's just don't make sense for the average home setting when compared to buying the large format OLED or LCD as the colour vibrancy and image quality, not to mention ease of connection and setup of the tv's is So much better. But this tv takes that to an extreme.
Would love to see your review of Bang & Olufsen setup, especially of beovision harmony 88”
