Only 165 Hz…was hoping they'd push it to 240Hz.
Means I'll be keeping my C1 for at least another year.

New panel technology it is? Then if C5 comes with MLA panel that would be a huge upgrade.

I guess they wanna go little by little so they can stretch the additions with each new version

That's nice but maybe they should add Black Frame Insertion so we can actually play 30fps (retro) games on an OLED. Seems like a function a lot of people would pay for (enough to warrant including it).

I thought they were still at 120hz so this is news to me

144 in C/G4.

My c3 is 120hz, c4 is 144hz

MLA has been scrapped for all series in 2025. Too expensive to manufacture because of bad yields.

I'm perfectly happy with my C1.

SMH, the C series's improvement has been minimum each iteration since C2.MLA has been scrapped for all series in 2025. Too expensive to manufacture because of bad yields.

I got G4 last year and very happy with MLA's performance. Curious to see the G5 improvement this year.

Meh, I'll stick with my CX. I used to buy a new OLED every year but I'm just happy with my CX.

As far as I know 48/42 panels are always dimmer.

OLED monitors already have some flicker reducing modes that work fairly well. Hopefully they will carry over to TVs soon.

So no QD-OLED still

They will never do it. Is QD still worse when it comes to burn in?
New remote looks like shit, with less inputs (no dedicated input button!) and of course focus on "ai, ai, ai.." bullshit.
I think I will change my C2 around C8 or C9... Or even later.

Still rocking my 65inch C9 despite a few dead pixels on the extremities of the screen.

not enough bandwidth on HDMI 2.1, is there?

Yes, my C9 has a bunch of dead pixels too. Fortunately it's only on the borders, like the last two rows of pixels.

2nd and 3rd gen QD panels use better blue material that is much more burn-in resistant compared to 1st gen. S95C with 2nd gen panel did well in Rtings burn-in test, resisted burn-in for longer time than WOLED competitors but at the expense of bigger brightness loss.

Yeah, that 600 x3 =/= 1800 fucked me up.
There is discussion in the comments if it's right or wrong, lol.
Thanks. QD looks like great tech, I think I will abandon WOLED in ~2029 (if my panel lives that long). Problem is, I HATE Samsung and their shitty OS.

Is why others who do make better TV's.
Upgraded from cx to g4 this year. Depending on your room conditions it didn't seem like a very big upgrade. So many shows these days are graded so dark it doesn't seem to make much difference.

No input button is criminal. How are 3rd party remotes with LGs? Do they still function just fine despite the whole floating cursor nonsense?

The C4 and G4 got bumped to 144Hz

You solve VRR flicker by running games at settings that don't have drastically fluctuating framerates.

It's bad frametimes that causes flicker, not framerate.

I just upgraded my 55 C1 to a 75 QM8(2024). I realized that I really prefer brightness over black levels. Having great black levels are a bonus. As OLED brightness levels start to catch up to Mini LED brightness, Mini LEDs are starting to catch up to OLED black levels. I would be really concerned about burn-in if I had a OLED that got as bright as my QM8.

I've manipulated mine to do so. Pray for my panel.

Most scenes are not trying to hit 100% bright window in HDR so its usually not a huge issue in most scenes. I can run my G4 with decent ambient light no problem. An extra 100 nits for full screen brightness should actually be pretty noticeable compared to the G4.

They'll sell you MLA again in the next version.

...*raises hand*
Uh, what is MLA?
(*Lemme google that for me)
www.whathifi.com
So it's an enhancement for OLEDs specifically to boost brightness with an array of micro lenses to project brightness. Reviews on its results seem mixed, with a lot of the complaints not against the tech concept but ultimately turning back on the age-old issue of OLED burn-in. (MLA wouldn't increase burn-in, would it? I don't see that it would return energy behind it.) Do people have MLA OLED TVs that they have liked or not liked?

Agree, projector wouldn't need to be any more than 250 nits in my completely dark room but my LCD hitting 900 10% is blinding now even during the day.

On my 48 inch C3 I notice the difference in perceived brightness if I keep a desk lamp on. If I'm watching Avatar or LOTR I'll keep the room dark, but I don't care about losing details in Netflix slop.
I guess it's a matter of managing your kino viewing schedule and ambient light. I just watched Pitch Black on this TV and the first half felt like staring into the sun. IIRC peak sustained brightness of this model is 150 in full screen, and it obviously never hit that but it was brutal.
Speaking of Netflix, check out their guidelines: https://partnerhelp.netflixstudios....Color-Critical-Display-Calibration-Guidelines
Their recommended peak brightness is 1000 and max 5 nits ambient light during colorization.

You can't let little things like this bother you so much. You know why the YouTubers do this. They would be stupid not to do it.
fuck youtube
