I appreciate you saying that you shouldn't always go for the bigger size or blindly follow the distance guides. I bought a 65" since it's what was recommended for my room but when the tv arrived it was just massive. It was great for gaming, but watching movies was a pain, I had to constantly move my eyes across the screen to follow the action, and general tv shows just felt terrible. After consulting gurus online who kept parroting that I would get used to it and soon would be wanting to go even bigger, I waited almost to the end of the 2 week return period. In the end I sent it back and replaced it with a 55", and couldn't be happier, so thanks for being a voice of reason in a sea of madness.
@@sdbw1990 You have a valid poiunt here. I had a 40 inch tv for 11 years with 13 ft distance and it felt small the last couple of years and I recently bought a 65 inch tv and it feels perfect for me but if I had a 9 ft distance then I would certainly complain. ;D
Great video! Agree pretty much with everything you said. Just wanted to toss in one more thing that is worth considering if deciding between OLED or LED backlit LCD that no one ever mentions, probably because all of these reviewers get new TVs often. That consideration is, How long do you plan to keep the TV? If you want it to last as long as possible, LCD is still the way to go. Why? Because OLED TVs naturally DIM, and the colour accuracy fades over time. This is expected behavior and unavoidable, as the organic compounds used to produce them are organic, and thus degrade naturally with age. So an OLED may look stunning for a few years. But, if you keep your TVs for 10 years, that OLED is not going to look as good as the day you bought is in the latter half of that time. If you get a new TV every say 3-5 years, OLED is an awesome choice. If you get a new TV every 7-10 years, that LED Backlit LCD will still look as bright and colour accurate as the day you bought it in 10 years. Just something else that is worth mentioning more often in the debate between OLED and LCD that I almost never hear anyone bring up. But for most people that don't buy a new TV until the one they have stops working, or just don't want to upgrade every few years to get the latest and greatest, it's a valid consideration
“These reviewers get TVs often” 👍🏻 and very valid point that most common folks only change TV when the need arises. Thanks for helping me decide that QLED will suit my needs better. 🙏🏻
Bought the 86" LG 8770 Costco from Costco for $1500, includes $100 streaming credit, $50 Costco gift card, and 3 additional years of warranty from all state..upgrading from a 2018 75" LG, can't wait, it's being delivered Saturday!
@@vipermikes5547 I like it, in terms of picture quality, it's a step up from my 2018 75" LG. It has a 120hz panel and the colors seems to be sharper. The only issue is clouding on uniform color backgrounds, for example when watching ice hockey and the camera pans really fast, you can see the different light zones on the tv, not a huge deal, and by adjusting the settings you can minimize this effect. For the price I paid I'm satisfied. I didn't want to spend $600 - $1000 more for something with better PQ
First off…. Thank you 🙏🏽! I have no questions but it’s because of you that I’ve just bought a new LG 55” C1 4K OLED 📺. I was in fear of the burn-in but I’m not anymore. I haven’t open it yet because I’m planning moving into a better apartment. Can’t wait for that! I also got a 4 years warranty on it. Thank you, Brandon! Take care and stay safe. ✌🏽

Ordered a Q90NA 85" directly from Samsung. Was gonna buy it from Best Buy but they sold out. While I'm still waiting for it it will be Free delivery and it's coming with a Free 3 year extended warranty. Most reviews give it good to high marks. it's $700 more so I'm feeling pretty good about the price. Thanks for the info.
Thanks for the Advice, I had an LG LCD TV but recently the colour blue started to overpower IT, I had a 6 year warranty, so I contacted the store I originally got it from as it was still under the warranty, I was told a part needed to be replaced that the would Contact the manufactures about it, 2 months later the store calls me up to tell me the Manufacturers no longer make the part for the TV anymore and it's no longer stored in there warehouse so they voided my TV and gave me store credit for $100 less than I originally got it to put it towards a new TV So I watched your videos, HDTV test and some others, I had planned to get the LG CX then I heard about the C1 and it's reduced price, then the G1 then I fixed my mind on the LG G1 as it would be my very 1st OLED TV and because I heard the screen was slightly brighter, the Store manager offers me a 55 inch G1 for $1,000 and that's with this store credit for my previous TV, manager's discount and Black Friday Discount, also on top of that another 6 year warranty plus what's left of my previous 6 year warranty, making it a grand total of an 8 year warranty So I thought if I'll have a TV with an 8 year warranty, I might as well get the G1,, a premium TV, I could have got a 65 inch C1 for slightly more but I thought pull the trigger, I will watch regular TV channels, play my PS5 games and watch my 4K Blu-Rays on it for the next 8 years
Thankyou so much for all the information! Now I feel I am ready to shop for a new tv! You do an excellant job of educating the people who know little about TV's and in a very understandable way!! Thankyou
I’ve had a 50” TCL 50S525 for a little over 2 years now and I’ve really loved it for what it is. Got it for a killer deal on prime day for under $300. My first choice for my next TV is going to be a 65” TCL. All the TVs have decent OS but for me, the Roku OS is wonderful. So easy to use, tons of apps, etc. I really think TCL is about the best bang for your buck in TVs right now!
Just bought a 77” Sony XR A80J. Mostly use for movies, Apple TV 4k, and TH-cam, etc. Not really a gamer. It’s a nice upgrade over my very old 50” Samsung LED that is just about worn out. Also picked up the Sony backlit A90J remote control online for another $82… It’s a shame they didn’t include it with the A80J. What can I say though… this TV is PHENOMENAL!
After watching a ton of reviews a couple years ago, I just went with the size I wanted with good customer service which was a Vizio e series. Good enough.
In Nov 2019 I bought a brand new Samsung 50" Class 7 Series LED 4K UHD Smart TV from best buy and absolutely love it. I am not big on the best screens, top speakers or any of that jazz. I just want a 4k tv that works for me for a cheap price and this one delivers. The only other tv i had at the time was a panasonic 32" 720p tv. I bought that one in 2011 and paid $300. The 50" 4k tv I bought in 2019 I paid $400.
Not that important as most of us enjoy tv from the mid range. Unless your tying to be a cinema and have a screen for hundreds of people to view then you might wabt to consider wide viewing angles 😉
I'm getting a 65" QLED Samsung Q80A. I need to replace an older tv in the living room which will be the main tv in the household and I just can't afford a comparably sized OLED. Directly facing the tv at the back of the room is a sliding glass door which brings in plenty of light so in addition to cost, QLED seems the logical choice. I was debating between the Q80A & Q70A and ultimately decided that as long as I'm spending $1k+ the extra $100 for the Q80A will buy me better sound and slightly better picture quality, two upgrades that definitely seem worth the additional cost.
Yep, bought the 83” A90J coupled to Yamaha’s A8A Flagship. Only problem is they are bought but being held until we move to new address . This is a fantastic video summarising what I’ve been researching the past two years . Haven’t bought a TV since 2007 (Panasonic plasma ) or a receiver since 2008 (Yamaha Z11). Both still work but it’s time to upgrade 😀Looking forward to watching new Babylon 5 in pre-production now )
I just pulled the trigger on a 83" C1 OLED by LG. Along with a new Yamaha RX-A2A AVR to run through my Paradigm 9seMkII, Center channel and surrounds along with the Paradigm PB1000 Sub. It's coming in before Christmas and I'm stoked... been 2 years since our Home Theater has been working because of a lightning storm and COVID.....! thanks for the video!
Sony is a totally different league but damn expensive bout Kodak 50” and after using it for 1 year was so happy with it that bought a 55” Kodak again which is again great experience almost 15 months
I just updated my 12 year old Panasonic plasma to the LG 55" CS OLED. Definitely made the right choice. Couldn't go from a plasma to a QLED. I'm used to good black levels. My living room is usually pretty dark too
Sadly I am staying away from OLED's. Our LG has incredibly bad burn in's from on the reds. We can see the Netflix logo, TH-cam logo, other logos, and now also have a band going across the bottom of the TV. The TV is about 5 years old and we started getting these burns in at the 2 year mark and it became more rapid after that. When the screen is displaying cool/blue colours, we don't see the red burn ins but always see the band. Our yellows are also destroyed. The center of the screen is neon/lime green when watching the Simpson's (referring to the characters skin colours) and then near the borders of the screen its more true warm-yellow SImpson's colours. Sorry for the very unprofessional explanation, haha. Only discovered recently that LG had to offer free repairs on screens for a while (not anymore) because the issue affected so many purchasers. thanks for the very concise, informative video!
That’s a lot of usage and sit time and on time my 2018 Oled still has no burn in unless I keep it sitting on screen for sometime waking it up and letting it sleep multiple times you probably treated it like a led something oled leg doesn’t tell you how to keep maintaining oled screens which should be a major notice but 2 to 3 years sounds about right when being used to it’s full potential with no rest or unplug
I bought a samsung QN90A 85 inch for 1,050 dlls! It was used yes, but I looked at it carefully and it was like new condition. Maybe one of my best buys off all time!
I bought a PHILIPS 58PUS8535 today. It replaces a piece of crap LG 43UK6400PLF which I bought three years ago but the backlight is giving up on it making most of my TV have a purple tint. I've been looking at the Philips 58PUS8535 in a local store with three months and I've saved for two months to buy it. I was going to save the extra €200 for the 65" but I measured the wall space it would take up and compared to my 43" in a 12' X 11'. Room it seems to be huge lol. I think even the 58" may be a bit big but I'm sitting 10' away from my TV. Also I'm using a Denon DHT-S216 soundbar.
The last 30 sec of the vid just sums everything up...life in general...just do it...you might be dead tomorrow...nothing in life is perfect... Like If you agree!❤ Thank you!!
Thanks Brandon. I was looking for a decent budget TV that was good for gaming and streaming. I think I’ll be going with the TCL. Best Buy has it at $250 off. Your review helped me decide. Once again, thank you.
I’ve always wanted an OLED! Looking at the C1 for movies and gaming. I can afford the 77 inch at 3k, but of course want the 83inch size. 2k for 6 more inches seems too much though.. then again the Sony or QN90A are around the price as the 77C1.. what would you choose? The 77 inch OLED or the 85 inch LED?
I'm stuck on this decision too. I'm upgrading from a 75" Sony x900e and want a bigger TV. Going up 2" to a 77" C1 OLED just doesn't seem like much of a size upgrade and to step up to the 83" is a $2k jump in price. Especially when I see the 85" Samsung QN85A QLED that has an amazing picture and features for $2000 less. Will I really see a $2k difference in picture quality between the 83" C1 OLED and 85" QN85A QLED? Not sure my eyes will notice. Stepping down to the 77" C1 to match the price of the 85" QLED just doesn't seem like a large upgrade in size. I definitely will notice the difference between 77" and 85". Decisions decisions....
@@Silarous I'd start with how far away are you from the TV. If you're too close 85 isn't going to work out well. There is such a thing as too big. I own 55'' versions of the lg cx and qn90a, 77'' version of the a80j. I posted a similar thing on a different video, movies OLED and games it depends. Watching something like Tron legacy back to back on an OLED vs qn90a is jarring. That's a fairly extreme example though because of all the blacks with neon type lighting on their costumes and vehicles. The qn90a either leaves out detail to try and avoid blooming or the blacks are a bit grey in that movie. Again extreme example because the lighting in the movie is bonkers. In fast paced bright games like COD:MW I prefer the qn90a,I pickup targets easier because they stand out better. Sounds counter intuitive because OLED is supposed to be the contrast king, but the brighter the colors the easier I spot them. Also I'm not roaming around staring at fine details, I'm trying to shoot goobers on the other team and avoid being shot myself. I don't have time to stop and do a pixel by pixel check that some of these weirdos do :) . In Star Citizen I prefer the OLED because you know, space is dark and OLEDs rule in that area. But Star Citizen is the only game I really play that I need that level of absolute black so I spend more time pc gaming on the qn90a and most of my time tv and movie watching on my OLEDs. Also in a dark room the oleds are MUCH easier on my eyes. The samsung can double as a room light if the bulb ever burns out, but there are times on a really sunny day I wish my OLED got just a bit brighter. So all to say for $2k difference I'd get the Samsung. You will NOT get some magical screen quality upgrade with it for that price with OLED. Will it look better, sometimes yes and sometimes no depending on content. It's a versatile tv that will do what you need it on all fronts, but not necessarily be the best at everything. Just make sure you check the panel on the Samsung for DSE, dead pixels, etc and return it for another one if it's not up to snuff(same for the LG). But if you're under say 10-12ft from the tv, I'd seriously consider the 77'' OLED unless you play FIFA 12 hours a day. Frankly I think some people just like to bitch and want to argue they're right and see people to agree with them with these LED\OLED wars. They're both good with their own strengths. Get the one that works for you the most. I used to be no a no OLED for pc because of burn in, now I'm a "depends what I'm playing".
@@kendil22 thanks for the detailed reply! I ended up going with the 85" QN90A. It went on sale for $3300 and made the decision much easier! It is going in my main living area which is a large room. 75" feels small in there to be honest. It's a pretty bright room too. Now I'm just deciding on a sound bar upgrade to go with it. Currently running a Sony ST5000 and want some thing with some rear speakers as well. Possibly the new Sony HT A7000 with sub and surround speakers. Hearing mixed reviews on it though.
@@Silarous At the 85ish size, I don't think there's an OLED out there that competes against the qn90a for quality and value. When they are close in price you might have to think it over, but they aren't and the OLEDs just aren't worth 1-2k more. I'm having a bit of a speaker conundrum myself. My sound work great but it's relatively cheap considering the 3k I spent on my tv and I can do better.
Great organised presentation, B. Decided on and received 77a80j about a week ago. I was concerned about overall screen brightness during the day and there is no problem. Had been used to lcd and this oled actually cuts thru my room conditions better. I prefer to see into shadow shades of darkness and the tv adjustments for this makes it happen. I would recommend this oled for rooms that have up to above normal light conditions.
@@adamcastro8505 I just got my a80j in 65-inch. I was also worried about the overall brightness during the daytime. Unless you have a room setup where direct sunlight is directly on the screen this TV is PLENTY bright. Now that I have experienced an OLED I won’t ever go back.
I buyed Sony xr 65 a80j....i am movie Freak and Playstation Freak.....i think its good choice.....Last Tv Samsung 55 curved ....my dilema was Sony 80 or c1..... diference Sony was 259 Euro chiper....thx For Reviews and Tips....you Help me a lot man.... greetings from Germany
Deciding between a 65 inch Sony X90j or 65 inch C1. Currently a $600 difference . Tv is going in family room above a fireplace . There is windows but they do have shutters. Is the $600 extra worth it?
Hey Brandon, im in the market for an oled and am between the a80j and the c1. Im big on sound quality so im leaning more towards the sony, but I cant seem to find a way to hook up just a subwoofer to either one of these tvs. Sony claims that you can connect a sub through the headphone jack and switch to subwoofer output in settings, however it does not seem to work when i try that both at the store or at home on my Sony XBR-X900B. Is it even possible to connect just a subwoofer to a tv? I would rather not have to get a soundbar for a tv with good speakers. I cant seem to find any solutions. Any thoughts on how i could ad a sub to the a80j?
I have have a Sony bravo 3D TV we do not use it in 3D mode any more it’s good but found it gives you a headache after watching one movie.The picture is great in normal broadcast mode so we will probably be keeping it until it finally gives up
Greetings question what size the TV and distance from the wall I’m ’watching TV in my room ( small room I’m thinking a 48 inch TV, I typically watch the TV with the light off I like to go 124 MHz an Apple play what do you recommend?
Awesome video B for sure I've seen alot of peoppe wanting sony after seeing the prices are going to drop for black firday even people I never thought would get one lol
Just bought a 65” Sony OLED XBR65A8H at Best Buy (great sale going on right now - $700 off) after hearing your recommendations. They are great by the way. My husband is picking it up tomorrow. Can’t wait to see the difference. We’ve had a Samsung 55” for a few years now and it has recently started showing purple spots in the picture hence the new tv. I read some of the reviews on Best Buy for this tv and most everyone is raving about it. I’m sure we won’t be disappointed. Thanks again! I do have one question though, what do we do with our old TVs? I guess I’ll google it. 🙂
Thanks so much for all your info I’m looking at buying the LG C1 oled 77” but holding off for a bit to see if the price goes down some ! It will fit on my basement wall perfectly! I have a Samsung 55” which I have had for about 10 years now the tv still works great has a great picture and all but I want bigger and better!
Hi I live in a soho. Max save for the frame is 43 inch tv. I don’t play ps. I am not getting a sound bar anytime soon since it’s a small studio house. I like TH-cam Netflix and Viu, prime tv and Disney. Which do you recommend
85" Sony A85J was on the top of my list, but the 85" Sony X91J is only about 20% more money and has local dimming - so I think it's worth the extra $400. What do think ? Another great review - thanks Holmes..
Hey dude this was really informative just wanted to say thanks for the information it was very clear and concise. Just wanted to add that I've recently upgraded from my plasma TV which had a 100hz refresh rate everything was smooth with zero judder, quite disappointed in these modern LED TVs with regards to refresh rate, apart from that they are great though.
Brandon, thanks for all the great reviews. Currently building a house and am putting a 65 inch A80J in the bedroom and also one in the first floor den. I have a pretty big open wall in the basement entertainment room (no windows) and I’m debating between the 77 inch A80J or the 85 inch X95J (with all the TVs I’m buying I don’t have the budget to go with the 83 inch A90J). Which is the better option for the entertainment room? I know it’s the standard size vs picture debate. It’s mostly going to be for sports and movies with occasional Xbox series X. Thanks!
Thanks. About to buy a new tv for a new place. I just dont know how bright is too bright of a room for choosing between samsung qled and lg c1. The room has shutters but it doesent do a total blackout of the roo..
Hi there, at present I have a 85” Sony tv which is two years old and last week I broke the screen, so now looking for a new tv, I know you like OLed TV’s but they only go to 83” and not sure if I wand to drop down in size?, I was looking at the Lg C1 but they still have the old panel and th Lg G1 only goes to 77” until next year, so the only TV’s left to me is the Samsung a800 or the Sony X95, or the ultra high TV’s like the Sony Z series or Samsung a900 which I don’t think are worth the money, so what would recommend thanks Oz
thank you for this video it is helpful. I'm using my tv as PC monitor for everything watching Netflix, TH-cam, work, and some times gaming which one you recommend to me between LG C1 and Sony A80J?
question: im torn between a 65" C1 or a 75/77". Ofc if I buy the bigger one it will be a lower model, not the C1. Should I go for a less expensive model at 75" or should I stick to the amazing C1? And if you think bigger size is better, which TV would be the ideal one? my viewing distance is about 3.8 meters.
What's the names of the flat screens that has Bluetooth and wifi to where I can connect to the internet without having a pc tower and if possible with a built-in DVD player ?
I'm getting the X95J 85in super excited swapping out 85in Q60T if you are a veteran or have access to the military exchanges it cost $3299 right now thanks for all the advice B
Another reviewer I just watched said the A80J, I think that's right, is the choppiest TV on the market. He actually picked it out at best buy and started laughing that he knew right away it was the A80J by how bad it was. I went with the TCL 65" for $699. No need to spend $1699 for a picture I can't tell the difference.
I have a question about the Lg c1. It comes up as only 60 hz, i have always purchased 120 hz for gaming and i am not sure if this tv is going to be the best option. I want a good quality tv, prefer oled but not required if i would be dropping down on game performance.Can you advise me as to best option. All my flat screen have been samsungs but always with 120 hhz

I’ve had the 85” Qn90a for 3 weeks now and let me tell you guys, it’s AMAZING. This is coming from someone who has the 77” cx as well,.
What’s the biggest difference you notice over the OLED?
Got a 55” TCL R635. Roku. Almost went with the 2021 Model with Google O.S. But heard it had lots of 🐛 bugs. Love it. You taught me so much in the last few days. It pays to do the research. Thanks

Same here. I just can’t get away from the flush wall mount look.
Ive had my 65 c1 for about 2 weeks now..love it
Have you seen 2.35 movies on a 75?
A 75 makes a 65 look like a big TV, but the 75 looks like you're at the cinema.
Thanks for the Advice, I had an LG LCD TV but recently the colour blue started to overpower IT, I had a 6 year warranty, so I contacted the store I originally got it from as it was still under the warranty,
I was told a part needed to be replaced that the would Contact the manufactures about it, 2 months later the store calls me up to tell me the Manufacturers no longer make the part for the TV anymore and it's no longer stored in there warehouse so they voided my TV and gave me store credit for $100 less than I originally got it to put it towards a new TV
So I watched your videos, HDTV test and some others, I had planned to get the LG CX then I heard about the C1 and it's reduced price, then the G1 then I fixed my mind on the LG G1 as it would be my very 1st OLED TV and because I heard the screen was slightly brighter, the Store manager offers me a 55 inch G1 for $1,000 and that's with this store credit for my previous TV, manager's discount and Black Friday Discount, also on top of that another 6 year warranty plus what's left of my previous 6 year warranty, making it a grand total of an 8 year warranty
So I thought if I'll have a TV with an 8 year warranty, I might as well get the G1,, a premium TV, I could have got a 65 inch C1 for slightly more but I thought pull the trigger, I will watch regular TV channels, play my PS5 games and watch my 4K Blu-Rays on it for the next 8 years
Thankyou so much for all the information! Now I feel I am ready to shop for a new tv! You do an excellant job of educating the people who know little about TV's and in a very understandable way!! Thankyou
I’ve had a 50” TCL 50S525 for a little over 2 years now and I’ve really loved it for what it is. Got it for a killer deal on prime day for under $300. My first choice for my next TV is going to be a 65” TCL. All the TVs have decent OS but for me, the Roku OS is wonderful. So easy to use, tons of apps, etc. I really think TCL is about the best bang for your buck in TVs right now!
The new TCL has google in you want the 120fps the Roku version is only 60fps
Great video b the installer. You always help people to make a hard decision about buying a TV. You are the Man brotha.
When Booty Call came on, I cheered as if the rest of the Avengers just returned from the snap… and I’m not ashamed
My a80j 77” is on the way today! I bought the 65” and had immediate buyers remorse. Canceled and upgraded. Can’t wait!
Just bought a 77” Sony XR A80J. Mostly use for movies, Apple TV 4k, and TH-cam, etc. Not really a gamer. It’s a nice upgrade over my very old 50” Samsung LED that is just about worn out. Also picked up the Sony backlit A90J remote control online for another $82… It’s a shame they didn’t include it with the A80J. What can I say though… this TV is PHENOMENAL!
After watching a ton of reviews a couple years ago, I just went with the size I wanted with good customer service which was a Vizio e series. Good enough.
Best TV review video I've seen. And I've watched A LOT!!!
Great advice. Clear and conscience. Never comments but really impressed. Wanted to say thanks. Thanks man.
I’m eyeballing the 77” A80J
Picking up that bad boy tomorrow from Cosco for $3,000 with 5 year warranty included.
Very informative video. Thanks for the details and explaining the real world use of the features.
In Nov 2019 I bought a brand new Samsung 50" Class 7 Series LED 4K UHD Smart TV from best buy and absolutely love it. I am not big on the best screens, top speakers or any of that jazz. I just want a 4k tv that works for me for a cheap price and this one delivers. The only other tv i had at the time was a panasonic 32" 720p tv. I bought that one in 2011 and paid $300. The 50" 4k tv I bought in 2019 I paid $400.
Great video that explains main considerations for choosing a TV. I do think that wide angle viewing might be another consideration in choosing a tv.
Not that important as most of us enjoy tv from the mid range. Unless your tying to be a cinema and have a screen for hundreds of people to view then you might wabt to consider wide viewing angles 😉
I'm getting a 65" QLED Samsung Q80A. I need to replace an older tv in the living room which will be the main tv in the household and I just can't afford a comparably sized OLED. Directly facing the tv at the back of the room is a sliding glass door which brings in plenty of light so in addition to cost, QLED seems the logical choice. I was debating between the Q80A & Q70A and ultimately decided that as long as I'm spending $1k+ the extra $100 for the Q80A will buy me better sound and slightly better picture quality, two upgrades that definitely seem worth the additional cost.
Absolutely amazing video, thank you so much
Yep, bought the 83” A90J coupled to Yamaha’s A8A Flagship. Only problem is they are bought but being held until we move to new address .
This is a fantastic video summarising what I’ve been researching the past two years . Haven’t bought a TV since 2007 (Panasonic plasma ) or a receiver since 2008 (Yamaha Z11). Both still work but it’s time to upgrade 😀Looking forward to watching new Babylon 5 in pre-production now )
Damn dude.. you must b super rich 🤑
"LG" all the way for Home Appliances
I just pulled the trigger on a 83" C1 OLED by LG. Along with a new Yamaha RX-A2A AVR to run through my Paradigm 9seMkII, Center channel and surrounds along with the Paradigm PB1000 Sub. It's coming in before Christmas and I'm stoked... been 2 years since our Home Theater has been working because of a lightning storm and COVID.....! thanks for the video!
this was the most helpfull video for TVs in TH-cam!
Thanks!
Sony is a totally different league but damn expensive bout Kodak 50” and after using it for 1 year was so happy with it that bought a 55” Kodak again which is again great experience almost 15 months
I just updated my 12 year old Panasonic plasma to the LG 55" CS OLED. Definitely made the right choice. Couldn't go from a plasma to a QLED. I'm used to good black levels. My living room is usually pretty dark too
Bought a 65" CX this year. So glad I dont have to watch these videos anymore. Drove me nuts.
G1 most beautiful wall mounted TV ever!
Sadly I am staying away from OLED's. Our LG has incredibly bad burn in's from on the reds. We can see the Netflix logo, TH-cam logo, other logos, and now also have a band going across the bottom of the TV. The TV is about 5 years old and we started getting these burns in at the 2 year mark and it became more rapid after that. When the screen is displaying cool/blue colours, we don't see the red burn ins but always see the band. Our yellows are also destroyed. The center of the screen is neon/lime green when watching the Simpson's (referring to the characters skin colours) and then near the borders of the screen its more true warm-yellow SImpson's colours. Sorry for the very unprofessional explanation, haha. Only discovered recently that LG had to offer free repairs on screens for a while (not anymore) because the issue affected so many purchasers. thanks for the very concise, informative video!
Get insurance job done
@🆓COGNITIVE DISSIDENT 🆓 cliff notes anyone?
That’s a lot of usage and sit time and on time my 2018 Oled still has no burn in unless I keep it sitting on screen for sometime waking it up and letting it sleep multiple times you probably treated it like a led something oled leg doesn’t tell you how to keep maintaining oled screens which should be a major notice but 2 to 3 years sounds about right when being used to it’s full potential with no rest or unplug
Nice work sir! I appreciate you being quick, and to the point.
I bought a samsung QN90A 85 inch for 1,050 dlls! It was used yes, but I looked at it carefully and it was like new condition. Maybe one of my best buys off all time!
I bought a PHILIPS 58PUS8535 today. It replaces a piece of crap LG 43UK6400PLF which I bought three years ago but the backlight is giving up on it making most of my TV have a purple tint.
I've been looking at the Philips 58PUS8535 in a local store with three months and I've saved for two months to buy it.
I was going to save the extra €200 for the 65" but I measured the wall space it would take up and compared to my 43" in a 12' X 11'. Room it seems to be huge lol. I think even the 58" may be a bit big but I'm sitting 10' away from my TV. Also I'm using a Denon DHT-S216 soundbar.
The last 30 sec of the vid just sums everything up...life in general...just do it...you might be dead tomorrow...nothing in life is perfect...
Like If you agree!❤
Thank you!!
Well distilled, excellently explained … I feel I actually understand all this stuff now!!
Thank you ..in watch ..was easy making the many uncertainties of which and size to buy..!!! Pulled the trigger on the Lg 77” G1.
Thanks Brandon. I was looking for a decent budget TV that was good for gaming and streaming. I think I’ll be going with the TCL. Best Buy has it at $250 off. Your review helped me decide. Once again, thank you.
How was your purchase? I'm thinking of getting one as well
Perfect! Thank you! This was so helpful.
Very nice overview, thank you, Brandon!
I’ve always wanted an OLED! Looking at the C1 for movies and gaming. I can afford the 77 inch at 3k, but of course want the 83inch size. 2k for 6 more inches seems too much though.. then again the Sony or QN90A are around the price as the 77C1.. what would you choose? The 77 inch OLED or the 85 inch LED?
I'm stuck on this decision too. I'm upgrading from a 75" Sony x900e and want a bigger TV. Going up 2" to a 77" C1 OLED just doesn't seem like much of a size upgrade and to step up to the 83" is a $2k jump in price. Especially when I see the 85" Samsung QN85A QLED that has an amazing picture and features for $2000 less.
Will I really see a $2k difference in picture quality between the 83" C1 OLED and 85" QN85A QLED? Not sure my eyes will notice. Stepping down to the 77" C1 to match the price of the 85" QLED just doesn't seem like a large upgrade in size. I definitely will notice the difference between 77" and 85". Decisions decisions....
@@Silarous I'd start with how far away are you from the TV. If you're too close 85 isn't going to work out well. There is such a thing as too big. I own 55'' versions of the lg cx and qn90a, 77'' version of the a80j. I posted a similar thing on a different video, movies OLED and games it depends. Watching something like Tron legacy back to back on an OLED vs qn90a is jarring. That's a fairly extreme example though because of all the blacks with neon type lighting on their costumes and vehicles. The qn90a either leaves out detail to try and avoid blooming or the blacks are a bit grey in that movie. Again extreme example because the lighting in the movie is bonkers. In fast paced bright games like COD:MW I prefer the qn90a,I pickup targets easier because they stand out better. Sounds counter intuitive because OLED is supposed to be the contrast king, but the brighter the colors the easier I spot them. Also I'm not roaming around staring at fine details, I'm trying to shoot goobers on the other team and avoid being shot myself. I don't have time to stop and do a pixel by pixel check that some of these weirdos do :) . In Star Citizen I prefer the OLED because you know, space is dark and OLEDs rule in that area. But Star Citizen is the only game I really play that I need that level of absolute black so I spend more time pc gaming on the qn90a and most of my time tv and movie watching on my OLEDs. Also in a dark room the oleds are MUCH easier on my eyes. The samsung can double as a room light if the bulb ever burns out, but there are times on a really sunny day I wish my OLED got just a bit brighter.
So all to say for $2k difference I'd get the Samsung. You will NOT get some magical screen quality upgrade with it for that price with OLED. Will it look better, sometimes yes and sometimes no depending on content. It's a versatile tv that will do what you need it on all fronts, but not necessarily be the best at everything. Just make sure you check the panel on the Samsung for DSE, dead pixels, etc and return it for another one if it's not up to snuff(same for the LG). But if you're under say 10-12ft from the tv, I'd seriously consider the 77'' OLED unless you play FIFA 12 hours a day. Frankly I think some people just like to bitch and want to argue they're right and see people to agree with them with these LED\OLED wars. They're both good with their own strengths. Get the one that works for you the most. I used to be no a no OLED for pc because of burn in, now I'm a "depends what I'm playing".
@@kendil22 thanks for the detailed reply! I ended up going with the 85" QN90A. It went on sale for $3300 and made the decision much easier! It is going in my main living area which is a large room. 75" feels small in there to be honest. It's a pretty bright room too.
Now I'm just deciding on a sound bar upgrade to go with it. Currently running a Sony ST5000 and want some thing with some rear speakers as well. Possibly the new Sony HT A7000 with sub and surround speakers. Hearing mixed reviews on it though.
@@Silarous At the 85ish size, I don't think there's an OLED out there that competes against the qn90a for quality and value. When they are close in price you might have to think it over, but they aren't and the OLEDs just aren't worth 1-2k more. I'm having a bit of a speaker conundrum myself. My sound work great but it's relatively cheap considering the 3k I spent on my tv and I can do better.
@@Silarous are there any good TH-camrs you watch that test or review sound systems?
Great organised presentation, B.
Decided on and received 77a80j about a week ago. I was concerned about overall screen brightness during the day and there is no problem. Had been used to lcd and this oled actually cuts thru my room conditions better. I prefer to see into shadow shades of darkness and the tv adjustments for this makes it happen. I would recommend this oled for rooms that have up to above normal light conditions.
@@adamcastro8505 I just got my a80j in 65-inch. I was also worried about the overall brightness during the daytime. Unless you have a room setup where direct sunlight is directly on the screen this TV is PLENTY bright. Now that I have experienced an OLED I won’t ever go back.
Great video thanks for all the info I definitely have a better idea what to buy now thank you
Hisense 65 ULED $629.00 Amazon Great video Thanks

@@happyhero1093 Not really, I personally dont like a overly bright picture.
@@teezee1000 Ok, Thank you
Very informational THANK YOU! Great video
I buyed Sony xr 65 a80j....i am movie Freak and Playstation Freak.....i think its good choice.....Last Tv Samsung 55 curved ....my dilema was Sony 80 or c1..... diference Sony was 259 Euro chiper....thx For Reviews and Tips....you Help me a lot man.... greetings from Germany
Great video, we bought a QN90A 55 inch for 1175. It works great in the room and it fits, very good advice.
You’re missing the hisense u8g prob the best QLED
Excellent advice Brandon...some very sensible options and recommendations 👍
This was very educational. Thank you
Quite crisp really enjoyed watching
I'M NOT INTO GAMING TO ME THE BEST TV FOR 2021 IS SONY A90J 💯👍
Definitely the best TV picture processing hands down can’t be beat.
Deciding between a 65 inch Sony X90j or 65 inch C1. Currently a $600 difference . Tv is going in family room above a fireplace . There is windows but they do have shutters. Is the $600 extra worth it?
Hey Brandon, im in the market for an oled and am between the a80j and the c1. Im big on sound quality so im leaning more towards the sony, but I cant seem to find a way to hook up just a subwoofer to either one of these tvs. Sony claims that you can connect a sub through the headphone jack and switch to subwoofer output in settings, however it does not seem to work when i try that both at the store or at home on my Sony XBR-X900B. Is it even possible to connect just a subwoofer to a tv? I would rather not have to get a soundbar for a tv with good speakers. I cant seem to find any solutions. Any thoughts on how i could ad a sub to the a80j?
I went from 75 LG 91 Nanocell to Samsung QN75QN90AAF and can see the difference Great TV . if you not ready for OLED this will do .
Appreciate the guidance as always!
I have have a Sony bravo 3D TV we do not use it in 3D mode any more it’s good but found it gives you a headache after watching one movie.The picture is great in normal broadcast mode so we will probably be keeping it until it finally gives up
Greetings question what size the TV and distance from the wall I’m ’watching TV in my room ( small room I’m thinking a 48 inch TV, I typically watch the TV with the light off I like to go 124 MHz an Apple play what do you recommend?
Awesome video B for sure I've seen alot of peoppe wanting sony after seeing the prices are going to drop for black firday even people I never thought would get one lol
Great Review!!! Thanks..i do have a question?? I wanna buy a 50 or 55 tv which do u recomend?? I watch sport and movies...Thank uuu
You really know your stuff! Great video!
Just bought a 65” Sony OLED XBR65A8H at Best Buy (great sale going on right now - $700 off) after hearing your recommendations. They are great by the way. My husband is picking it up tomorrow. Can’t wait to see the difference. We’ve had a Samsung 55” for a few years now and it has recently started showing purple spots in the picture hence the new tv. I read some of the reviews on Best Buy for this tv and most everyone is raving about it. I’m sure we won’t be disappointed. Thanks again! I do have one question though, what do we do with our old TVs? I guess I’ll google it. 🙂
Thanks for making this very useful video
Love my C1!
Thanks for the video this the video I needed
Hello sir, witch one better compering between TCL 55R646 vs Samsung QE55Q80B??? Please let me know. Thank you
Thanks so much for all your info I’m looking at buying the LG C1 oled 77” but holding off for a bit to see if the price goes down some ! It will fit on my basement wall perfectly! I have a Samsung 55” which I have had for about 10 years now the tv still works great has a great picture and all but I want bigger and better!
Hi I live in a soho. Max save for the frame is 43 inch tv. I don’t play ps. I am not getting a sound bar anytime soon since it’s a small studio house. I like TH-cam Netflix and Viu, prime tv and Disney. Which do you recommend
85" Sony A85J was on the top of my list, but the 85" Sony X91J is only about 20% more money and has local dimming - so I think it's worth the extra $400. What do think ? Another great review - thanks Holmes..
If I need the frame look, should I get the
C1 oled ( if I can get wire go through a hiding hole) vs G1 oled or Samsung frame qled??
g1 if you have the money or else go for c1. The frame qled tv is not a top ranged qled from Samsung
Thank you, great information.
Just ordered the 83 inch C1 to replace my 92inch DLP tv. Very excited!!
A80J 77" cause pic quality is excellent in my darker living room
Hey dude this was really informative just wanted to say thanks for the information it was very clear and concise. Just wanted to add that I've recently upgraded from my plasma TV which had a 100hz refresh rate everything was smooth with zero judder, quite disappointed in these modern LED TVs with regards to refresh rate, apart from that they are great though.
Brandon, thanks for all the great reviews. Currently building a house and am putting a 65 inch A80J in the bedroom and also one in the first floor den. I have a pretty big open wall in the basement entertainment room (no windows) and I’m debating between the 77 inch A80J or the 85 inch X95J (with all the TVs I’m buying I don’t have the budget to go with the 83 inch A90J). Which is the better option for the entertainment room? I know it’s the standard size vs picture debate. It’s mostly going to be for sports and movies with occasional Xbox series X.
Thanks!
Thanks. About to buy a new tv for a new place. I just dont know how bright is too bright of a room for choosing between samsung qled and lg c1. The room has shutters but it doesent do a total blackout of the roo..
Hi there, at present I have a 85” Sony tv which is two years old and last week I broke the screen, so now looking for a new tv, I know you like OLed TV’s but they only go to 83” and not sure if I wand to drop down in size?, I was looking at the Lg C1 but they still have the old panel and th Lg G1 only goes to 77” until next year, so the only TV’s left to me is the Samsung a800 or the Sony X95, or the ultra high TV’s like the Sony Z series or Samsung a900 which I don’t think are worth the money, so what would recommend thanks Oz
No mention of Nextgen TV which is my main reason for upgrading.
Tv advice and life advice, great video!
thank you for this video it is helpful. I'm using my tv as PC monitor for everything watching Netflix, TH-cam, work, and some times gaming which one you recommend to me between LG C1 and Sony A80J?
AWESOME! Thank you Brother.
Vizio v series is excellent value in entry level 4k
Hello Sir can u plz tell me about samsung frame oled 65 inch tv ? is it worth buying ? Thanks.
Got lg bx on good deal ,having all gaming features for gaming, but it's not recommended for gaming by you tubers , any special reasons ??
If i play fifa in my ps5 in lg c2 oled tv , this cold be bern in ? Or i need to bay a samsung Qn90b or qn85b ?
question: im torn between a 65" C1 or a 75/77". Ofc if I buy the bigger one it will be a lower model, not the C1. Should I go for a less expensive model at 75" or should I stick to the amazing C1? And if you think bigger size is better, which TV would be the ideal one?
my viewing distance is about 3.8 meters.
Hisense U8G is my winner and choice
I am thinking to get TCL 98" but a bit confused with Hisense 100" laser. If anyone could please suggest the best one. Thank you
What's the names of the flat screens that has Bluetooth and wifi to where I can connect to the internet without having a pc tower and if possible with a built-in DVD player ?
I'm getting the X95J 85in super excited swapping out 85in Q60T if you are a veteran or have access to the military exchanges it cost $3299 right now thanks for all the advice B
Another reviewer I just watched said the A80J, I think that's right, is the choppiest TV on the market. He actually picked it out at best buy and started laughing that he knew right away it was the A80J by how bad it was. I went with the TCL 65" for $699. No need to spend $1699 for a picture I can't tell the difference.
Hi.Shoud I get 65 in c2, g2 or qn95b.Hard to decide.c2 I cN get for lowest price between these 3
I have a question about the Lg c1. It comes up as only 60 hz, i have always purchased 120 hz for gaming and i am not sure if this tv is going to be the best option. I want a good quality tv, prefer oled but not required if i would be dropping down on game performance.Can you advise me as to best option. All my flat screen have been samsungs but always with 120 hhz
Thanks
