Awesome to hear, if you are using it for PC screen too, enjoy this 4K wallpaper. :)
So did you just cut the box off around the TV somehow?

There is sorta a handle in the back on one side but other side was clean linen gloves and screen until high enough to grab bottom. I gave Brother in law the handle side. Little nerve racking for sure.

I just got a 65 C1 over memorial day weekend. $1599 was finally getting to the level I could justify a general upgrade. Nerve wracking with the moving around and what not. It is just so thin. We ended up wall mounting it after we found it wouldn’t fit well on our stand. I got an EchoGear fully articulating from Amazon for $100 and it’s awesome. I need to get back in there though and unlatch the bottom of the TV so I can pop it out like a centimeter to get in my optical cable. The mount bracket just blocks it. I also picked up a kit to put in-wall recessed power that is behind the tv drops down and comes out at the bottom. Once fully done I think it should be pretty slick.
I’ve done a fair amount of picture adjusting but I need to get back in and tweak those OLED brightness levels This can be a bright room and it still looks great but I feel like I want to dial those back some more.
Super impressive picture quality though really beautiful.
I’ve been mulling getting the 48 inch to replace my dual monitors, but I really need to stop buying shit. Maybe towards the end of the year when I have paid off my daughters computer. Always a revolving debt at Best Buy. ;)
I have to buy a tv. Planned size: 65"
I’m in between the LG C1 and the Samsung QN95A, I think I’m going finally for the Samsung one, which uses miniled but it seems they have reached an expertise with them that is fairly close to the OLED in blacks/contrast, while having much more brightness.
Any comments?
Do you care about dolby vision? It’s not supported on the samsung
I saw that. But I guess HDR10+ is enough imo?
It seems the main ‘source’ for Dolby Vision content is having a Xbox series, which I don’t have nor I plan to have.
Nope, not close to OLED black. :P
I would go with OLED any day of the week. I guess if you’re in a bright living room with no curtains or you want to use the TV as a computer monitor and you’re afraid of burn-in, maybe then I’d go with mini-LED.
My 2017 OLED had made it that when I look at a non-OLED screen, I can’t unsee the inherent backlighting in dark screens now.
Also, I think Dolby Vision is also supported by like Fire TV, Roku, Apple TV (I know Apple TV for sure as that’s what I have), for content from like Netflix, Apple TV, Vudu, etc.
I haven’t done a direct comparison against HDR10+, as I went with OLED since 2017.

I would definitely go look at them in person. OLED to me is just so much better looking.
Obviously there’s a price and other considerations, but image quality wise I wouldn’t trust those types of analysis vs your own eyes.

I’m in a similar situation and planning to buy probably by the end of the summer.
For me, I’ve got a skylight in the room, with no way to block it.
How much light can an OLED tolerate? The skylight is angled so it won’t directly shine where I’m planning to put the TV, but the room isn’t exactly dark during the day and there’s no way to make it dark.
OLED does not require darkness. It can’t sear your retina the way some newer LED sets can, and it doesn’t hold up as well to a super bright room (like a wall full of direct sunlight), but most rooms are fine in the daytime and even better at night.

I don’t think that my OLED is any harder to see in the day as my previous LCD.

As long as the skylight isn’t putting sunlight onto the surface of the TV, or in your eyes, recent OLED is probably bright enough. That’s the LG G2 or any of the Samung/Sony 2022 OLEDs. LG put a big heatsink on the G2 so it can get brighter even with the old style OLED, and the Samsung/Sony QD-OLED tech is brighter by default. All those TVs are quite a bit more expensive than the LG C1s though, which are on heavy discount, and not quite as good in a sunny room.
You can also use the service menu to just turn off the brightness limiting features on LG OLEDs, if you don’t mind risking burn in. That’s actually what I’m planning on doing when I switch to the LG C2 42 inch. YOLO.
I do avoid darker content early in the day. It’s fine when the sun isn’t shining directly in (my windows face East)
Apparently, It Is Time.
It seems Amazon is clearing out their LG C1 models (last year’s). The 48" is down to $800. I’d planned on getting one when they dropped below $1000, and they’ve dipped below that a couple of times, but I just couldn’t pull the trigger. When I went and looked at this deal, though, they had an option to pay in 12 installments of $66 (no interest, no credit check), so I said Fuck It, Why Not? It’ll be here in a week.
For extra cheapness, see if Best Buy is matching them today, then look for an Open Box version. Best Buy automatically adjusts Open Box prices to sales prices.
I just pulled the trigger on a 65" LG C1. It is time. Old TV is a 42" Sony I bought for 980euros eight years ago. I managed to sell it for 100 :(
Red dead redemption is gonna look soooooo good :D
