Why do people need a New TV every year on black friday??

[bladefd]

Sony OLED is sexy.

I got a nasty discount on the A1E back in 16, and ended up flipping it. Made a pretty penny on it but partially regret it.

Still love my X930E

Sony rips off on their TVs. Samsung and LG TVs are just as good for less cost. Vizio can be nice too for even cheaper.

Besides, doesn't LG make Sony's TVs? At least the tv screen portion not the software or speaker portion

yeah this sounds like a hood rich, lower class type habit


well off people aren't rotating their TV's every 12 months, you get stable by being smart and not making those type of investments

I know it is. I lived in the ghetto in Cincinnati from when I was born until 19. We were like the only white family within 2 blocks. Back then it would've been something else because smartphones didn't exist then.

I have an oled 4k tv with hdr10. I rarely use it tbh, it's easier to just watch the mandolorian and watchmen on my pc.

It's not like these aps are airing high quality content anyways. HbO compresses the sh1t out of their content.

Also The Mandalorian isn't even true HDR on Disney+ streaming right now. It's fake HDR. Analysts tested it and the nits brightness only gets up to like 200 nits...which says it's SDR. HDR goes up to 400+. Usually around 700 on explosions and stuff.

I still have to watch stuff on my TV though. I don't fully enjoy it on a 15" laptop screen attatched to a budget $350 Acer LCD panel.

Yes in Over-The-Rhine, the center of where the riots started back in 2001. Avondale was pretty bad too, but I never went there in fear or getting beat up.

I lived one block from Findlay Market, right near the OTR Community Center.

Back in the 90s OTR was rated the third worst neighborhood to live in the U.S. in terms of violent crimes per capita.

I was at that OTR area recently. They have some taco place called Bakersfield that was legit.

I went to visit my half-sister last year. That place is GREATLY improved since I lived there in the 90s and left in 2004. Back when I lived there there were tons of buildings condemned and boarded up all along Vine Street which ran from the center downtown Cincinnati right through the ghetto northbound. There was like a barrer. You'd drive from downtown going north and see all these nice business and buildings, then within two blocks it turned full ghetto.

Drug pushers on the corners, tricks tricking, etc.

Sony prices are on par with Samsung, and both are mot expensive than LG because both are superior. The Sony A8G (iirc) is on an entirely different echelon than the Samsung Q9.

And yes, LG does make the displays as they are the only product of OLEDs (at least we're when I sold and installed home theater), but Sonys processing is something else.

Sony's double processor is just amazing to allow your picture to upscale as much as possible without sacrificing any smart features or anything else.

The Sony OLEDs having Dolby Atmos off the screen is also unbeatable.

I’m pretty sure Samsung doesn’t do OLED. I want to say LG invented the technology and Sony pays rights to use it in their screens.

The LG and Sony OLED’s were similar prices, I think with the sales the Sony might have actually been cheaper. I don’t care what you say, the Sony looked better.

Vizio’s are ass.

Samsung uses QLED, which is cheaper and still looks great. LG's OLED only looks better in the black portions because the pixels can completely turn off. OLED is better but certainly more expensive.

The high end Vizios are not ass afaik. I think it is the Quantum series or something. I don't own one of their high ends but I heard about it. My bedroom 36" TV is from Vizio and it is junk from 2015 but it was cheapest I could find back then at Costco for $200 . Speakers are horrible. Still, that's not the case with their high-end stuff

Sony has always been the Apple of TVs even when Sony was the best tv company in the 90s and 00s. They rip you off.

65 Sony A8F: $1,990
65 Samsung Q90: $2,199



The QLed is more on par with the Sony non OLED flagship tho.
