I think buying my B9 was worth it just for TLOU 2 alone. Holy fuck.
This game is making me see the beauty of OLED.

Hahaha! I just got my 65C9 last week and I know exactly what you mean.

I'm so hesitant to get an OLED but the B9/C9 ticks every box. I'm sick of looking for a TV and I always end up coming back to these Lg TVs. I'm tempted to say fuck it I'm gonna get it and just deal with the risk of burn in.
I used to have a Plasma tv before the Tv I have just now and that got burn in. I used that thing for about 6 years and as far as I can remember there was only burn in at the bottom/middle of the screen from leaving the tv on through the night every night with the news on.
I'm guessing that the screen tech on these OLEDs is far superior to Plasma so I'm kinda trying to convince myself to go for it.

I can't comment on the omg term use of the device, but I got my C9 a week ago and it has absolutely blew me away. My games look fantastic now and Gsync has been a game changer on my PC. I no longer have to give my games a stupid amount of overhead to account for a few frame drops under 60fps. It's great.

The high-end QLEDs have good deep blacks too but OLED is still the best as long as you're not in a too bright room.

This is not the case. OLEDs work fine in a bright room. I got a 77in and 55in C9s.

Of course OLED still works fine in a bright room but the advantages of OLED are diminished.

Not seeing a diminished quality in my picture with direct sunlight that comes in to the right of the tv. I don’t know why this has been claimed as some issue when it isn’t. Plenty of owners have posted videos disproving this claim on YouTube. I live with both TVs I know personally
. All the bloom you get from Qled and LCD is worse than the claim your makingMy 77c9 in my living room.

That’s completely different than claiming it isn’t good to use in a bright room. It doesn’t need to get brighter than QLEDs when the overall quality of the picture continues to beat out those TVs

Got my new 55" E9 today. What a beauty from design to picture. Love the floating design as much as the picture quality on this bad boy. Coming from a B7, def notice brighter HDR, cleaner picture, sharper color, more detail, and no tearing in games make it a nice little upgrade. Not night and day, but there nonetheless. Btw, got this for 1599 shipped from Value Electronics, man amazing experience from beginning to end. Great deal, fast shipping, excellent service even following up and giving tips, and overall going to them from now on. Authorized seller of LG oleds.

i mean, i do prefer OLEDs, but at max back light, it's pretty puny against my window.

I had an XBR55929 for YEARS and couldn't replace it because it didn't seem like many TVs were a worthy enough upgrade for the price. The 65" C9 finally won me over like you said, it ticked every box for me a I got it for only 2200 bucks. My kids have been using it a TON the past 2 months for silly games due to the quarantine and I have yet to see burn-in. The TV has a few settings and tricks built in to prevent burn-in and reset pixels.

The strengths of OLED, not the overall picture quality. You think you'll see them perfect blacks in a bright room as well as in a dark(er) room? The brighter your room, generally the brighter the TV must get to maintain "punchy colors".
What claims did I make about blooming?
Jigga117

I never said you made claims about blooming. That’s what happens with that tech. I find that more of an issue than bright rooms. I don’t have an issue with mine. I just think it is a bit weak to try and make a claim that doesn’t affect everyone’s environment/setup. Just like having the highest NITs doesn’t give you the best picture that some people like to claimThe strengths of OLED, not the overall picture quality.

If you're seriously considering a C9 I would hurry up and buy one. It's last years model and is replaced by the CX. Whatever is in stock now = all there is.
Because of this, I bought a C9 a couple of weeks ago myself. I prefer it over the CX, because of DTS passthrough, higher peak brightness in HDR and no oddities in firmware at the moment. HDMI 2.1 features are the same, compared to CX. So no downside when it comes to gaming.

Good stuff! No tearing in games is only a thing if VRR is supported by the device. You have a GSync PC and/or Xbox One?

I sold mine cause I been moving all over the place recently and expect to be moving alot the next 5 years. Lol I even have my PS4 Pros in storage. For some dumb reason I took my OG PS4 with me.
My next OLED will be a Sony though. I find their designs to be better than LG’s. Gg

Thanks for replying. I'll see what happens but I'm gonna stand my ground. I'm already pissed that I have to wait a fucking week for a technician to come, like WTF seriously !? But that's the best I can do for now.

Quite a shock going from an QLED(Q900R) to a CX. It takes getting used to the more natural colors of OLED as opposed to the bright lush colors of QLED. 
I thought the standard SDR picture modes way too dim(25 OLED light for FILMMAKER, really?) for my liking and after some tweaking, I did get a lot of brightness and popping colors back that I'm used to from Samsung.
HDR on the other hand, looked bright and vivid which reminded me of QLED but the OLED was sharper overall thanks to the better contrasts.
PC looks better right away without having to mess with colors.
Yeah, you really need a dark room to get the most out of OLED.
I do miss the brightness and no burn in peace of mind thought.

Wanted to get an LG CX during Black Friday this year, but now I'm having doubts because of a small thing. The LG C9 apparently has full HDMI 2.1 and the LG CX doesn't. What I mean by this is that the LG CX only supports 10-bit color depth, while the LG C9 supports 12-bit color depth. Is this a problem with the next-gen consoles in the future? I don't know enough about TV's to know if I should worry about this. I just want the best device for a certain budget.

Both TVs and all TVs today are 10bit panels. The only difference is one is 40gbps and the other is 48. That only difference is that 48Gbps can do 12bit 4k@120hz. The displays can only do 10bit 4k@120hz Look at the chart and see what is required for both bits and resolution. LG learned they didn’t need a full bandwidth 2.1 port so they reallocated the resources to video processing for the 2020 models. At the end of the day no display or manufacture needs to brag it is full bandwidth when we know that full bandwidth isn’t needed for these displays today or in the future until displays that are native 12bit can benefit from 48Gbps

Great, thank you for the clarification. There's no need for 12-bit color depth since the displays themselves can only go to 10-bit. Even IF the PS5 and Xbox Series X would be able to use the full 48Gbps bandwidth, the TV still doesn't have use for it, because of the display.Both TVs and all TVs today are 10bit panels.

You would need 10000 nits to get the advantage of 12 bit panel which no tv currently has.

Multi-plasma owner here that made the jump to a CX. Other than plasma uniformity, everything is an upgrade 10x.

Ghosting is not an issue on OLED, burn in might be if you display bright static content for a very long time(100s of hours?).

It has nothing to do with OLED, only that Samsung tricks a lot of people into buying their TVs by exaggerating the color saturation. Sony's LCDs are among the most color accurate TVs you can get.Quite a shock going from an QLED(Q900R) to a CX.

Chill bro, it wasn't an attack on OLED, it was more a commentary on the different color science LG and Samsung use.
LG/Sony focuses more on displaying what the creators intended, Samsung editorializes content to make the colors pop more. It's personal preference.

Haha no worries, I'm currently with Sony Z9F Master series which is a VERY good TV for HDR and SDR and colors, omg. I've had two Sony and two Samsungs, Sony have really good colors and image quality but the Samsungs were so problematic in many areas I gave up and returned them. As for OLED, I'm considering trying the new LG CX 48" to see how it's HDR stacks up against my current 1800 nits.

I can already tell you that the auto brightness limiter kicks noticeably when a large area(>50%?) of the screen get bright. If you value brightness, think twice about the CX.

Then you need a raise, I could afford almost 2 but maybe our countries prices vary.Damn. The cx48 is about as much as my monthly salary... I need a patreon or something. Apparently, being engineer is not enough to get one of those babies

3.10.20 update just been pulled down onto the CX - no idea what changes it's implemented, but no sign of catch up apps My 'new' box from Sky is a 32B108 do not sure if that's a V2 or V3? I don't know whether it's V2 or V3, but I do know that I have 32B206 and don't experience the problem you...

So how different is burn-in risk between a 2017 model and a 2020 model irl, realistically?
I have a B7, man that first day was glorious, but I got one dead pixel and some burn in too. It's still glorious because the burn in is only visible when the whole screen is red lmao.

I've yet to see any foto's of a c9 with burn in so I'd guess that's a testament of the burn in resilience of the newer models(c9 and up) which made me try out the CX. I have an LG EF950V from 2016 where I noticed burn in back in 2018.
Newer models have things like pixel refresher/shift and logo luminance adjuster which weren't on my 2016 model.

Yeah. My C9 automatically turns off after 10 or so minutes of inactivity (when using my PC). And if you pause a movie, the screen goes black and a fireworks screensaver starts. They also have this mode that very, very, slightly moves the entire image on your screen so that if you are on a channel with a logo or something that is stationary, you don't have to worry about burn-in. I have had zero problems so far.

This is only for internal apps and Airplay2. This doesn’t extend to connected HDMI devices. Wish it did

When I lock my PC, the TV automatically puts up those images of paintings and cycles through them. But while I am using windows, I have the taskbar automatically disappear when I am not using it. When I am using a game console or something and have to pause for awhile, I will just turn the TV off.
