Well, you have been a fantastic presenter, and I am going to reimagine the size of my TV in the space I have. Thank you. I would've liked to have heard about bluetooth options and connectors that TVs have, but this was good.

I have a 75 inch Samsung downstairs, and a 55 inch in my game room. The 75 inches more cinematic, but the 55 inch is such more smoother, less ghost in effect, and overall just feels better to play on.

Worse thing to do is set your TV too high up on a wall. Looking up at the screen introduces fatigue. Buy a modern TV stand. They’re designed to have the TV at the right eye height.

@tiloalo 7 ай бұрын

@SurviveTheDay it all depends on the TV size. If you have an 85 or 95" TV, you'd almost better not have a stand or it would be too high. Or at least a very low one.

I just purchased the largest screen I could afford with quality and features I needed to future proof myself for 5-8 years. I left room in the budget for a soundbar surround system since TV are getting thinner and TV speakers are getting smaller. Went with a LG OLED 77C1 and Sonos Arc, dual Gen 3 subs, and Fives as rears.

Cool setup mate! How far you sit away from the screen? I'm currently on the hunt for a new OLED TV, but can't decide between a 65 and a 77 inch model.

@mrgold3591 Жыл бұрын

@@goodriddance86 My TV room is rectangular with an easy chair around 3 meters away, love seat along the opposite wall 3-4 meter range, and sofa around 5 meter away parallel to the 77C1 in the middle of the room. Every seat has an excellent view of the OLED screen because of its extremely wide viewing angles. I mounted my 77C1 on the wall with pan/tilt/rotate features. The OLED screen is like a large mirror and will reflect back every bit of light in the room and drowning out the OLED image a bit on that screen reflection spot (lamps, windows, doors, overhead lights, etc...). You can then adjust the screen to where you don't get those reflections with every sitting position and the OLED will still look 100% because of the wide viewing angle. I would always go larger because some streaming movies are in letterbox format with blacked out strips top/bottom. The larger screen will feel more movie screen immersive if you have close sitting position like my easy chair.

My only gripe with "future proofing" is the risk of OLED burn in (even on newer, more resilient models). But with a 5-8 year horizon I wouldn't expect that to be too much of a problem, I usually aim for about 10yrs if I'm future proofing something lol

@@Valyssi I wouldn't go for an OLED if someone played video games more than watching TV/Streaming, keep the OLED on a few channels with banners/logos always present, or in a really bright room and you need to max out the OLED brightness.

I later added a soundbar a year later and took advantage of the eArc and my son took advantage of the HDMI 2.1 gaming features with his playstation.

18 months ago, I upgraded my 58 inch IPS tv from an A-list manufacturer to a 65 inch OLED from the same brand. I was shocked as to how much better the picture quality was on that 65 inch OLED. I was worried about the OLEDs brightness level in my 18 by 21 feet moderately lit room, but once the set was in situe, those worries were completely dispelled. My one regret, I wish I had gone bigger. So, I’ve recently purchased a 98 inch QLED from another manufacturer. The 65 inch OLED has been relegated to the bedroom. I sit approximately 142 inches from that 98 inch pannel which is just under 1.5 times the screen size, equal to being sat in the 3rd row of the cinema. In all honesty, the picture quality of the 65 inch OLED is superior to that of the 98 inch QLED, but not massively. If you weren’t able to compare them side by side, I doubt you’d notice. Any quality difference is over ridden by the sheer immersive attributes of that larger screen. Your comment about audio reproduction on slimmer panels is relevant. The sound quality on that 98 inch screen is by far the best I’ve heard on any tv. Negates the need for a sound bar.

@orris5177 I was looking to upgrade the last 2-3 years but every time I started my research it was overwhelming and I never knew which one to get. They all seem obsolete the moment you get it. I'm glad I waited then went fuck it, let's go for the more expensive option, I can afford it. The lower tiers you're making compromises at some point than the higher tier where you get almost everything. NO REGRETS. This TV will easily last me the next 5 if not 10 years? unless my space gets much bigger. Also went from Samsung to LG, I've always just got Samsung and am more familiar with the brand so I was hesitant with LG only to find out LG is the OLED manufacturer for other manufacturers anyway and am very happy with the TV. Ends up Samsung is missing one of the video formats or something. I instantly watched Wednesday on Netflix since I never checked the show out and it's 4K and often dark so it was really great. Then re-watched the Spiderverse movie and holy shiz, that was insane. It wasn't even a good high quality stream but it just popped! For the space I'm in now I don't think I'd go bigger. I think technically I could do a 65" and I'm used to the 55" now it doesn't seem so big. I have a large 75" wide media unit so I could fit bigger. I went to someone's apartment (a 1 bedroom) the other day that had a 77" and my god, that was MASSIVE. I was like WTF is happening. Then, I got a PS5 because of all the reviews I saw showcasing the high end specs that wouldn't necessarily be beneficial for watching movies (well the 120hz and low input lag and all) and showcasing Spiderman games lol so. It was an expensive month

Overwhelming. The moment I got my TV I watched 4k shows, re-watched Spiderverse and it was all so amazing. I'm in love with my entertainment set up now. The audio could be better but I live in a building/space where it doesn't make sense to have surround sound so I have a good stereo set up, good enough and with PS5 I plug in my headphones to the controller for quality sound. I wasn't planning on the PS5 but with all the reviews they kept showing off the specs of the TV that shines with gaming and Spiderman looked cool so, I had to pick one up 😅 that was a very expensive month I'm slowly recovering from but absolutely no regrets. Love it so much. I technically should be 1 ft closer to my TV but I don't feel the need, I'm sure I'd get used to it like I did going from 40->55", felt overwhelming at first then got used to it. I also have backlighting for the TV so it immerses me further.

I just bought 2 of this 48 inch 807 Philips tv right before the store was empty. 1 for upstairs play area, and 1 for my main living room. They are such a good deal, specially when tv prices are gonna shoot up because of the world economy.. new 808 model is around 50% more expensive in each inch segment here, without anything special new to offer, so buying these xx7 models before they sell out was a good deal. Was considering 65 inch for my main living room, but after several years with 55 inch tvs, and recently experiencing smaller tvs again and understanding more what I want from a tv for myself and my family, 48 inch is plenty. Didn’t know how much a good field of vision, and picture experience with content from 4k to 720/1080p meant to me before being on a cabin with a 32 inch tv… so much more relaxing to watch movies on, and awesome picture experience on lower resolution/less quality material. The “bigger is better” chase had really made me blind for quality viewing after I went up to 55 inch. So if anyone cares.. I recommend you to follow rtings and other optimal viewing distance data sheet. 😊

People talking about the middle being at eye level are crazy. Eye level should be somewhere around the top 25-35% of the display so you are looking slightly down.

@CaedenV Жыл бұрын

All depends on what you are doing. The bigger the display, the more distance things travel between frames, so things like image persistence becomes a larger and larger issue. Big TVs tend to suffer from persistence issues, so big fast moving things tend to smear, or look choppy. Projectors, especially of the dlp persuasion tend to flash an image, or give 4 HD flashes of an image to make a 4k image (pixel shift) which makes these weird temporal issues significantly less noticeable. But then again... You are on a projector which will always be louder, have less contrast, use more power, and less color quality than even an average TV. I think most people would much rather have the brightness and contrast of a smaller TV, than the immersiveless of a truly large projector. No shame to projector owners (I've still got mine!), but unless you are doing a literal 16'x9' display or larger... I think that TVs have won the day for what is practical in most living spaces.

I would disagree with the viewing distance. Which seems to be based on older TV types and old data. New data from Samsung and Panasonic, shows you should take you screen size, times 1.2. for example, 65inches, x 1.2 = 78... Meaning you should sit 78 inches away from the TV. (Just under 2 meters). This is due to how TVs are designed for the past decade or more.

@PiefacePete46 7 ай бұрын

I read that too... I don't agree with it. There are two separate considerations: (1) The pixel density; modern 'top of the line' TV's have stunning pictures that so good you can view the detail much closer than previous systems allowed. (2) Viewing angle; regardless of the picture quality, if you are too close to the screen, the experience can become overpowering and unpleasant. This is the reason I don't agree with a factor of 1.2. Another reason is the number of people who can see the screen at 78 inches, some of them will end up watching from too far off to the side. A factor of 1.5 is about minimum for me.

Size vs price vs features is always the issue! Doesn't look as bad today as it did a few years ago, but it still looks like there is a lot to consider. My last TV I was looking for a max size of 48", curved, with QD tech, hdr 4K, and under $1200...that TV didn't exist lol. I could get 2-3 of the items on my wishlist, but nobody made a high end curved small affordable TV. The compromise was a Vizio m558-g2 which has served me well the last few years... But it has been a few years, and we need to replace another older TV, so it is time for my upgrade, and for my current pc monitor to become the play room TV for the kids lol. My biggest complaint has been the size. It is just too small when sitting further away for games and movies, but too big to work comfortably next to as a computer monitor for work. But at the time, larger 65"+ TVs that had any quality or hdr were way beyond budget, so getting something that would work equally well for text and gaming at a distance wasn't a real option... But now! Holy cow! Big TVs are cheap now! I'm hoping for something in the 65-70" range with good quality for $1k or less this fall, and it looks like there will be lots of contenders! Weirdly, I'm not all that excited about the newer display tech. My hdr 500 display can already get uncomfortably bright at times, so I am not worried about that. Oled isn't a real option because my use as a computer monitor would ruin the display, and lcd tech hasn't gotten that much better the last few years (outside of peak hdr brightness, which isn't a metric I want). I think what I am most excited about is support for 120hz at 4k 4:4:4, as well as support for low or variable input rates when the GPU is taxed. It seems silly, but for larger displays higher frame rates make a world of difference! I mean, on a 12" laptop it isn't all that hard to follow where your mouse is at when it is only moving 1-2" per frame. But put that on a 55" display, and your cursor has moved 4-5", which feels choppy and less responsive even when it is the same exact performance as the little 4k laptop. Moving up to 120hz brings that back down to a more reasonable 1.5-2.5" per frame which is a help! And this translates to gaming too where on a small screen things are easy to focus on and track, but on the big screen things get too jumpy around the screen even at the same performance. The other big consideration is 4k vs 8k. Obviously, there is no real 8k content out there, and little planned for the immediate future. And 8k without display scaling would mean buying a monster 100"+ display to use with lots of text and older software, and 8k gaming isn't really in the reach of today's GPUs. So I would be relying on outputting 4k and relying on fast upscqling on the TV side... And I'm not sure TVs are capable of that yet without a lot of added latency. But 8k also means smaller pixels, which generally means better light control, and better panel responsiveness... And a complaint I have always had about TVs vs good computer monitors is having to deal with more bloom and more shadowing artifacts when watching shows. Of course Oled solves all of this... But Oled isn't in the cards as I would burn it in too quickly. So I am curious to watch the space and see if the smaller pixels of 8k solve a lot of this in the 65-70" realm compared to their 4k counterparts. If it does, it may be worth waiting an extra year for 8k prices to drop a bit more. But then again, if the built in processors can't deal with 8k without stupid amounts of added latency in the upscale process, then it will be a moot point.

If budget is no constraint, bigger is always better or, buy as big with best pic quality as you can within the budget. That be always the principle. Sitting at 3m, I bought 75 inch for TV room. After couple months, I replaced it with a 85. Main uses are watching streaming services, football matches and console gaming. For TV movies, many now in letterbox format, so they will be actually much smaller than the screen size. For console gaming, nowadays AAA games are made like movies and very cinematic.

I dont understand the 1.2 number everyone keeps citing. I have a small living room. So small that weve always felt a little claustrophobic. Having kids made it worse. Having people over is hard. We can barely fit a couch and love seat in it. But with an 88" tv at the 1.2 measurement i am slightly over the 88" tv distance. What do people with actual living rooms with space do? Not a lot of extra screen real estate available. A 97" doesnt even add an extra foot of distance. I cant even imagine putting an 88" in my space. It would look so oversized.

@projectdaaltaran Жыл бұрын

Or is 1.2 for dedicated theater rooms where you are purposefully putting it closer to the screen because it's desirable? If that's the case, the 1.6 multipurpose number I saw makes some sense for living room usage. It puts me right at my tv for a 65" which is still a little big for our room but a care enough about the tv to choose that size anyway.
