Grain of salt - comes from Chinese forum leakers.

A95K - 55" / 65"
A90K - 55 / 65 / 77 / 83
A85K - 77 / 97
A80K - 42 / 48 / 55 / 65

Flagship model A95K will apparently use Samsung's new QD-OLED panels. It will be very expensive. Like stupid prices.

 

[Kuranghi]

So is this the QDCC shown in this video?




I think so given this description of Samsung's QD-OLED tech here, but wanted others opinions:

What is QD-OLED? Samsung details its new TV display technology

Brighter colors, deep blacks, wide viewing angles

Gonna be amazing when we get that electro-luminescent QD tech shown at the end, I wonder if that or microLED will come first to consumer sets.

I need to know where the car goes at the end lol

Sony only needs to nail gaming to have the best TV out there. LG right now is no brainer for gamers.

If You are ps5 gamer, Sony might have some slight picture quality advantages. LG got vrr but it does not matter on ps5

Well the PS5 and their 2021 TVs will both add VRR.

Otherwise like the Sony A80J & LG C1 are the same right now for PS5 gaming.

And the PS5 even works better with the A80J than with the C1.

 

[BlackM1st]

Wish they had a smaller models. PC market really needs it.

 

[Deerock71]

THE ONLY OLEDs WITH TRUE BLACK HOLES!!!

 

[kyliethicc]

Wish they had a smaller models. PC market really needs it.

There's literally a smaller 42" model coming.

Nobody wants a TV smaller than 42.

Yeah, nobody... Now I totally see how wrong I was!

Yes, qd oled is using quantum dot color conversion.

Imo micro led is not ever going to be viable for a reasonable price and there are competitors like qned and self emissive quantum dot that may even be better anyway.

My main question is what is the A85k? Presumably the A90 will be an a90j replacement, and a80k > 80j.

 

[Max Payne’s Baretta]

These better be priced appropriately LG is eating everyone’s Lunch.

 

[kyliethicc]

Yeah, nobody... Now I totally see how wrong I was!

You want a monitor. Not a TV.

 

[BlackM1st]

You want a monitor. Not a TV.

You don't say!

PC market really needs it.

 

[KAL2006]

You want a monitor. Not a TV.

So where are the 4k OLED monitors that are 27 inch with decent HDR?

 

[kyliethicc]

You don't say!

You started saying you want a sub-42" TV.

Now you're flipping to saying you don't want a TV.

Make up your mind.

If you want a 30-39" monitor, go buy one. Plenty exist.

If you want a small TV, then buy a 42-48" model.

So where are the 4k OLED monitors that are 27 inch with decent HDR?

I wouldn't know.

But I promise you that Sony Bravia TVs won't be where you find them lol.

Its like going to an Apple store and asking "where are the affordable Android phones?"

 

[BlackM1st]

You started saying you want a sub-42" TV.

Now you're flipping to saying you don't want a TV.

I did. You're an idiot.

Exactly.

You're mad and insulting people on the internet about TVs.

Won't some fella leak their lcd lineup so I can know if they have mini led or not

All these leaks and no mention of it makes me sad

Maybe their highest end model.

Sony will obviously use Mini LED as an excuse to raise the price.

X95K or whatever it'll be. If not 2022, then it'll be 2023.

I'll pay the price if they have it in the x90 or x95 models.

However, the x95 series is not their highest ; that'd be the Z9 series.

If mini led doesn't come to the mid/mid high tier lcds, I could see it being in the Z9K. ...Which I won't be buying as they're Fing expensive and huge.

 

[Bo_Hazem]

Seems like I'll wait for eternity for the perfect TV.

Yeah I meant highest 4K model.

Idk much about 8K TVs.

 

[StateofMajora]

Their 8k models have been great for high zone counts and their 2019 model was the best.. I would expect over 2000 zones on a mini led Z9K if they do it.

 

[noise36]

Sony only needs to nail gaming to have the best TV out there. LG right now is no brainer for gamers.

Price is also a factor, LG OLEDS in Australia are often substantially cheaper as well.

 

[Dr Bass]

Any pricing on the 97"?

 

[RoadHazard]

Wish they had a smaller models. PC market really needs it.

These are TVs, not monitors.

Any pricing on the 97"?

One billion dollars.

 

[kyliethicc]

8K doesn't interest me at all.

No 8K streaming anytime soon, and no 8K blu rays ever coming. And 8K gaming is a joke too.

 

[Dr Bass]

Well that rules me out.

 

[StateofMajora]

Same here, but the point in buying i.e. the Z9G was not so much for 8k, but rather super high peak brightness (near 4000 nits! X90J doesn't even hit 1000) for incredible hdr performance, high zone count (720+ vs i.e. 60 on x95j) for great highlights and deep blacks for SDR.

Also, upscaled 4k to 8k or 1080p to 8k looks a bit better on these sets vs 4k sets from a proper distance but it's hardly a selling point for me.

Z9G is pretty much the most bad ass 85 inch lcd ever. But yeah I want a 49/55 inch ideally for the game room.

 

[Rentahamster]

It will be very expensive. Like stupid prices.

I feel like they're already pretty stupid lol

 

[kyliethicc]

Expect a 65" A95K to be like $8000.

 

[Rentahamster]

I'll just keep using my awesome plasma TV until some kind of value equilibrium hits the modern TV market.

 

[kyliethicc]

~ $1500 for a 65" OLED (like the A80J or C1) is a great value.

 

[YCoCg]

Imo micro led is not ever going to be viable for a reasonable price and there are competitors like qned and self emissive quantum dot that may even be better anyway.

I dunno, I saw a tech demo a while back of MicroLED running at 2,000nits, it genuinely made HDR10 and Dolby Vision stuff look superbly amazing, it really felt like the next genuine step, all the benefits of OLED with the ability to push for higher brightness and no burn in, etc, though sadly yes waiting for the price to come down feels like a long game.

 

[Rentahamster]

~ $1500 for a 65" OLED (like the A80J or C1) is a great value.

In some cases, but I'd rather not shell out 1.5 grand today when what I got is already pretty good for its use case and I can wait longer for better and cheaper sets as the tech evolves.

2000 nits will be hit on samsung qned (self emissive inorganic) and self emissive quantum dot as well.

Now, for really really large panels at say 10000 nits, micro led has that niche, but niche among niche for yacht owners.

Micro led is very very hard to downscale from larger sizes ; it’s why we hear the first model will be 75 inch minimum at an extremely costly price.

Microled is a red herring mostly.

You have what? A 1080p SDR plasma?

 

[ReBurn]

Maybe I'll get one in 2024

That tv jacks directly into your brain stem.

 

[Pagusas]

CRT is the only true answer

convergence issues, limited to 36”ish, shadow mask blooming…. yeah no. so glad those days are over. people rose tinted glasses are horrible when it comes to tech.

 

[Rentahamster]

You have what? A 1080p SDR plasma?

Yup.

OLED vs QD-OLED vs MiniLED vs MicroLED

I think the more important player in the game is Samsung because, unlike Sony, they don't exclusively position themselves as a premium brand, meaning the entry of a Sony OLED won't force LG to lower their margins, as opposed to Samsung. Plus, there are still a few minor things that LG provides as opposed to either, even if Samsung can provide a competitive price, and for a lot of us who own more than one device, having every feature is a nice-to-have.

- Better input lag and response times
- 4K@120 Dolby Vision
- HGiG
- G-Sync and AMD Premium FreeSync (For us PC gamers)
- Game Optimizer settings w/ Framerate Overlay

It's like one of the few TV's out there that exclusively markets to gamers. They have an entire page dedicated to it on their website, and that's how I want to feel: catered to. It just absolutely baffles me how Sony ignores this market with PlayStation in their back pocket.

LG OLED TV Gaming

LG OLED TVs have extremely low input lag with an incredible 1ms response time. This ensures that every move you input on the controller is displayed instantly on screen, giving you a vital edge over opponents.

[kyliethicc]

Yup.

You're missing out. 4K HDR is fire.

i still have a panasonic plasma in my living room that looks great all these years later

lg cx for the man cave tho

2 of those are priced way beyond even enthusiast pricing
