All TVs these days have shit failure rates now that Japanese engineering has been pushed out of the market. They aren’t built like they used to be. Hell even Japanese TVs these days aren’t actually Japanese tv and are either Chinese or Korean rebrands. Sony’s are Chinese panels on their LCDs and Korean on their oleds with Chinese parts for both.
Sony literally said its only HDMI ports 3 and 4 are 2.1 and 48 Gb/s. They were already asked directly about that and answered.
Google "Player-led vs TV-led Dolby Vision." Basically, TV-led is nicknamed full-fat and is preferred.
The only thing that benefits 48Gbps is GPUs that are 48Gbps. Xbox Series S/X are 40Gbps and PS5s are only 32Gbps. Unless that changes having 48Gbps is mostly beneficial for 4k@120hz 12bit 444 for a 12bit display.
Fuck me, why do you even need a tvThis is the one wall of my home office that is totally sliding glass doors, so yeah a lot of light comes in.

Bias lighting can help make bright screens (especially in HDR) easier on our eyes in darker rooms. Might be worth trying. It helped me.

Best guess is the OLEDs and 8K models will be similar prices as last years, or slightly increased.

It can even make the blacks on a LCD TV look darker too. Its cool how we can trick our eyes.
What Bias Lighting Is and Why You Should Be Using It
There's a good chance you've been watching television and working at your computer for years in a way that fatigues your eyes, increases your chance of headaches, and decreases your overall enjoyment and comfort.

Likes PS5 and XSX. Likes 4x4's. Has a Sony tv. Has a nice beach house.
I should get one by late 2021 or early 2022, especially if it's a 65" OLED as they tend to be expensive, but X95J 65" is my realistic goal for now.
You're probably right. They've had a year of people complaining about their sets not being HDMI 2.1. Hopefully they are better prepared. I'm dying to get a new tv so I'll more than likely pick up the X90J a few weeks after release. There's games I've been holding out on playing due to wanting to experience them on a new tv with nice HDR.I think they've dropped all their current processors to fully support HDMI 2.1 this time around, but it's better to buy a tv later in the year when you get it in a discount so by then you see if it met its promises or not
.. Would be nice.
Just imagine how much that thing is going to be
I can't wait for Micro-LED. Perfect blacks, high contrast, great viewing angles, etc. Maybe one day we can get that amazing clarity of motion like on a CRT
I'm so sick and tired of all the smoke and mirrors. I know, that CES is SHOW first, but damn...It's been a few hours already and I'm yet see a single spreadsheet from any company that will show clearly available diagonals and tech inside each unit.
Most gear I've historically bought is Panasonic, except for my latest Sony 900E TV. Even my microwaves are Panasonic.
I always wait for incredible occasions with oled tv.
I think Panny tvs are a dying breed(?).
I'm more bothered by my Nvidia cards having no decent screen to work with xD
Sometimes you are lucky and you don't have to wait too much, i buyed my panasonic a couple of months after launch from an illegal\grey area site (an extremely famous one in europe) that got closed by police a couple of months later
Sounds like my coworkers years back. One of my former coworkers got word from his friend he had LG tvs for cheap. So he asked a handful of us if were interested.Sometimes you are lucky and you don't have to wait too much, i buyed my panasonic a couple of months after launch from an illegal\grey area site (an extremely famous one in europe) that got closed by police a couple of months later
And before that i got the lg oled with a gigantic discount combining 3-4 different discount coupon in a single site
I'm kinda lucky with buying TVs and pc hardware on the internet

I couldn't care less about PS5 compatibility bc no matter what my PC will always look better than my PS5.
But yeah, Samsung is far from perfect.
I would rather buy LG than Samsung (I'm using Samsung phones), and I would definitely prefer Sony to any other TV brand.
Panasonic is quality just like Toyota. But for me it will be always second best to Pioneer.
Unfortunately Pioneer is dead because quality doesn't mean success.
Just look at VAIO notebooks from Sony. Shit was so far ahead of its time it's not even funny. Fully carbon, portable size, fully functional ports and best in class keyboard AND a discrete videocard. And? And now people think that Apple makes good laptops and VAIO is Japan only xD
Yes. There's a huge reason I still have my Panasonic Plasma in my bedroom. And why I bought a few of them back in the day over other TVs. Picture and colors looked much better on them.
Yeah, me too, but after owning VAiO it's hard to appreciate my current Microsoft Surface. It's not the same. Shit, I forgot. My Z series even had built in 3G modem and a sim card slot. Fuck. Now I'm sad xD
They said it can never be perfectly fixed due to flaws in their X1 chip.
Well, that sucks. The X85J is using that same chip set too, I think.
Yeah but for most people this is not even an issue. It affects people who want to use it as a PC monitor for 120 Hz gaming the most. I bet plenty of people would have had no idea this flaw even exists if they had not been told.
I haven't tried it on my pc yet, cause I need to get a higher bandwidth cable, but also my pc isn't beefy enough to play anything at UHD120, so the image would have some blur anyway from being in 1080p.
Well if you don't mind dropping to 4:2:0 chroma 8 bit, you can do UHD120 with hdmi 2.0, since that would only require ~17.82Gbps.I just remembered that my Radeon VII is HDMI 2.0. So I need to buy 3090 first (downgrading to 10GB VRAM is not an option coming from a HBM2 16GB, 1TB/s bandwidth).
