I've had several soundbars and a surround sound package but it was only when I purchased an budget AVR and a pair of budget stereo speakers that I realised what I had been missing (stereo imaging, thumping base) besides going down this route one can always add to it overtime! subwoofer, surround speakers you could even get height speakers to get the full 'non-virtual' Dolby Atmos experience. Nowadays AVRs are so simple to setup, they even walk you through the process! "Remember movies are made up of 50% visuals and 50% audio and there are occasions when the audio out does the visuals"

[@apricotmadness4850]

@Louis Williams You have to be joking. No sound bar can compete with a 5.1 setup let alone a 7.1 setup.

[@___echo___]

do you have any recommendations on youtubers or sites that cover these things? I know a bit about headphones, but speakers are uncharted territory for me lol

[@totalplonker824]

@@___echo___ the cheap audio man channel might be a good starting point! One thing I will mention, if you have a small room then don't go for tower speakers, you would be better off going with standmount speakers (bookshelves) and if you're not satisfied with the low-end (bass) you could always add a sub or two! If you're looking for any more advice, click on the red dragon twice and if I'm able... I would be happy to help!

[@___echo___]

@@totalplonker824 thanks! its been a wild ride going down that rabbit hole, I had watched a few of his vids before, but I never glanced at speakers since I didnt have the space for them, and for some reason assumed they have worse sound quality than headphones. Since I was already set on buying speakers (for reasons related to me watching this video in the first place) I bought some used bookshelf speakers locally at a great price, now for ordering the rest of the setup :P

[@totalplonker824]

@@___echo___ so long as the speakers impedance don't drain your AVR, one can get away with using whatever sets of speakers one likes! For example; so long as all height speakers are the same as one another and both surrounds are the same as each other, one can mix sets of speakers but when it comes to the front stage (left, centre, right) one would be better off making sure... if not the same model at least the same brand, for the tonality... so when the sound sweeps from left to right, it all sounds the same! Have you thought about what kind of setup you're looking for? One could always start off with a 2.0 and you never know, in a couple of years time, you might end up with a 7.2, so basically it would be wise to choose an AVR which has more channels then one might think they need! 🤔

Bought LG C9 OLED 2 years ago and I use it for PC gaming. 4k, 120 Hz, HDR, G-sync, VRR... you name it, its there. Never had any troubles with burn-in even though it runs as a desktop 6-10 hours a day. I guess newer gens of this TV are even better, would recommend 100%

[@nickxcore74]

Same with my LG E9 mate, it’s still going strong with absolutely zero issues.

[@ultrag33k52]

The often overlooked (due to originally being an LG store online only model in the US) LG B1 imho is the TV to go for, especially at 65inch. It's a few hundred cheaper than the C1 with very minor differences now due to the firmware updates. It's great for films & games, superb black levels even in my living room during the day, and due to "black Friday" deals it's now only £1,499. After just coming up to 2 weeks of use now: paired to the Samsung HW-Q800A Dolby Atmos up firing Soundbar (with wireless Sub & rear speakers) I find it this set up to be the best I've owned, providing an incredible gaming & cinema experience!

[@8arcasticallyYours]

Everybody has different wants and needs for a TV. I only play games on a PC, so not interested in console options and I'm also light-sensitive and so would not want the very brightest screen. I'm happy if it has a good picture with great blacks and is a size suitable for the room. Though the ability to stream various content is a must these days as basic broadcast television is decidedly crap and repetitive. Helpful tips anyway, so thanks Tom.

[@Thetechchap]

Good point!

[@neiluk78]

Do not get an OLED due to screen burn buddy. Im getting the Samsung QLED 50 inch QN90A Flagship Neo as I will use it as a monitor for my pc and for gaming.

[@gracelandtoo6240]

Lmao, screen burn in will only happen after thousand of hours of the same program/HUD in videogames. Most OLEDs today also automatically dim their entire screen after so many hours of use to combat the effects of burn in, but anyone who doesn't sit in front of the TV watching the same program every day for multiple years will not have any issues with burn in in current OLEDs.

[@darkillasest1912]

Upgraded few week ago. Started with LG NANO88 50" but was disapointed by bad uniformity / white spots in dark scenes (there was an obviouse issue with the panel). Than I found an incredible deal on LG Oled B1 55" for 870€ (only 200€ more expensive than 50" LCD what is insane) so I did not bothered to go for C1 which was/is around 1200€ after discount due to my original budget ±700€. I'm extremely satisfied with it and would not change as it is perfect for this price. Oh and the main point to upgrade was gaming: 120Hrz, VRR, ALLM, HDRs, high pixel response time + one of the lowest input lag in all today's TVs.

[@NoNamePTuga]

Yup, got one myself for 900€ on black friday and i gotta say... It was worth every penny!

[@redx11x]

Where did you buy it from

[@sharebear421]

Unfortunately due to the TVs instant pixel response time watching normal content like movies, TVs shows and anime has terrible stutter issues. I have the CX and C1 and they’re almost unusable to me, but maybe I’m more susceptible to bad motion handling than others

[@redx11x]

@@sharebear421 i have never heard that complaint from anyone

[@sharebear421]

@@redx11x I find that hard to believe. A simple google search of oled stutter brings up copious amounts of people complaining about it. It’s not an arguable thing really since it’s a OLED technology fact. They have instant pixel response time which causes frames to hold on longer so when a camera pan happens it causes stuttering. Obviously some are more oblivious to it or more susceptible to it (like me) so I envy those that don’t. Or they use motion interpolation settings or only play 60+FPS gaming

I have a 4yr old 40". Wanted to get a 50", but the model I want starts at 55" (£999), so I guess I'm getting that (once the price drops a bit more). And definitely will be getting a hi-fi speaker system because soundbars are over priced. My budget for sound is 50% so I'll only be getting a 2.1ch system. The equivalently priced soundbar is going to have less proficient speaker drivers along with a bunch of features you already have on your TV or mobile phone.

One thing that i'll say is that for screen size you want to get the biggest size(unless it literally does not fit) cause after some time you start thinking that the tv is smaller and with a smaller screen it is more noticeable. Also nowadays, tvs don't put that much strain on your eyes when you sit close to them with bigger screen sizes like our parents said for older tvs (around 2005+).

I’m currently watching a Panasonic TX58AX802 which I purchased in 2014. It’s a 58 inch 4K IPS screen which at the time of purchase was the pinnacle of the Panasonic range. Even though it’s technology is dated, I sincerely think it can hold it’s own against modern premium sets. Unfortunately, it’s faulty and often persistently blinks when you take it out of standby. A trustworthy friend of mine who works in the hifi and home theatre industry assures me I’m better off updating, rather than repairing. I’ve therefore ordered the Panasonic TX65JZ1500 an 65 inch 4K OLED panel, which interestingly enough will cost me far less than my original 58 inch set. My trusty friend steered me away from the much pricier TX65JZ2000 which he said only benefitted from a superior audio performance. As I already have built a premium hifi system, this would negate the need for on board superior audio. If I get 8 years trouble service from this new, more cost effective set, I’ll be a happy chappy! I guess in 8 years time, panel technology will have changed so drastically it’ll be time for another update. I shall look forward to your videos in 8 years time and your buying advice.

[@MrZarono]

No one cares. Cool story though.

[@ragtop63]

It's interesting that "Filmmaker" mode is mentioned in reference to the original vision of the creator(s). The LG being shown on the screen during that bit supports Dolby Vison. However, there is no Filmmaker mode on LG OLEDs for Dolby Vision content. So, what does that mean? It means that if you do end up getting an LG OLED, absolutely make sure you go through the settings so you can get the most from your TV.

[@ztvztv1]

[@nickxcore74]

I disagree with the best time to buy a TV, because I would say around spring just before the new models are released, because you can get last years top models at really cheap prices. I bought my 55 LG E9 OLED in April before the CX was released. Now the E9 launch price was £2799, but mine cost me £1499 which is a huge saving. Black Friday isn’t always the best time to buy a new TV and I wish people showed a little more patience like I did. I also wish channels like yours realised the fact that some people don’t have two and a half grand to buy a new TV and sound set up, more so in the U.K with the cost of living crisis.

I went from an older 55 inch hd tv from samsung to just today a new 65 inch lg tv wich was on sale and I love the upgrade👌👌

[@gustavomazzoni792]

I have bought the Sony X900F in 2018 to got ready for the new Gen console. Although, my tv doesn’t have the 2.1 HDMI it looks great picture quality, 120ghz, Dolby Vision support, and I can see and feel the smoothness and visuals when I played my Ps5. However, it triggered me to try my Ps5 in one of those new tv such as Sony A80j, and LG C1 to see the real potential of my Ps5. Maybe in few years I will do it.

[@alexf6021]

I own the Sony X900E which is similar to yours as far as the panel goes and it still looks stunning, in fact Sony's XE Series from 2017/2018 were some of their best TVs. Also using it with my PS5 and I am amazed how this TV from 2017 still can hold its own with newer TVs.

I am still on (in my opinion) one of the best TVs ever made, and that is the Sony X900E from 2017. Still looks great while playing on PS5 and watching Netflix. As long as there aren't any decent games which can run at 4K/120fps or at least at a decent resolution without sacrificing visuals as much I am in no rush to upgrade.

Wow I wasn’t expecting to see my tv in the comments on a 2021 video. I got it after a ton of research, and decided I wasn’t ready to spend up for a 65” oled. I’m happy with mine, although I now have it in a tiny office room closet. It’s just too big for my situation. Hoping a 42 or 48 would work for both a monitor and a tv

[@duffysullivan2794]

I have the X900E Too! 49 inch model. It was my first transition from CRT. I have it paired with the PS4 Pro. Great set up. Playing Monster Hunter Iceborne and have nothing but satisfaction regarding the display. And this game has a lot of fast moving action and gorgeous, detailed graphics to render! But you do need to be sitting eye level front and center or the picture begins to wash out as you view from an angle. I have a well padded swivel chair that places me just right, so it is not an issue for me.

LIke the various entertainment stands you have, wondering if you have listings of what they are and where they are from?

[@kevinkicz481]

After 1 year and 5 months, the TV stopped working different model but seems the operating google interface . I called the tech support for Hisense and since it only comes with a 1-year warranty, they can not do anything about it. The logo starts up but it will not load. I get a blinking red light for 60 seconds then it restarts. But never passes the Hisense logo. My research tells me it is the power board which I will attempt to change on my own.

Bought a new 77" LG G1 6 weeks ago and I love it, I am glad I went for the larger size and I had a 60" LED before and if I went to 65" I think I would have been disappointed. Gaming is superb and so is 4k films, it looks like real life and choose a setting that you like and suits your eyes, the 'experts' always say film maker mode, LG use Expert mode and for superhero films (I am a Marvel fan) use Vivid, transforms the viewing experience so much, one of my friends advised me of this who has the Sony A90J (its his fault I bought my TV) I play my PS5 on it and it is superb!

[@sharebear421]

How did you get use to the terrible stutter whenever a camera pans in a movie or to show? I just can’t seem to enjoy my tv (same as yours) cause everything besides 60fps games have horrid stutter. Movies and tv shows and especially anime. Also playing switch is a no no because 30fps games also has terrible stutter on these LG oleds

[@gogigp]

for most ppl best buy (performance to price) is TCL C715 (slightly jittery for sports) and 815, after regular LCD it will be noticeable improvement for picture quality. I am on LG NANO (SM9005), still avoiding definitely better OLED bcs of high price and burning in possibility. In the end, i hardly watch tv, PC monitor is way more important to me:)

[@skutt3506]

I have an LG C1 and I would have to say I think the burn in risk is minimal unless you plan on using it as a desktop monitor. If you constantly have content moving on it, there won’t be burn in. Additionally, it comes with an option to run an “OLED screen saver” which essentially cleans up your pixels after a long day of gaming. It’s been amazing with the PS5.

[@gogigp]

[@sharebear421]

I would suggest to people who are susceptible to motion stutter to not buy an LG oled unless the really improved their motion handling and processing. Bought a cx and c1 for my bedroom and living room and feel like I’ve wasted a bunch of money. Gaming on 60fps or more is good and picture quality is good too but the stutter these TVs have is abysmal. Moves/tvshows/anime and 30fps gaming is damn near unwatchable/playable imo on these TVs. I heard Sony is suppose to be a lot better at motion handling but OLED has instant pixel response time which causes frames to hold on longer than usual causing stutter on panning scenes and lower frame rate content. Hopefully micro LED is better

I'm using a non-smart 2016 Sharp 40" with Amazon Fire Stick and Creative Inspire T3300 computer speakers. But hopefully this year I'll be going for a Panasonic 55". They don't seem to be a big brand anymore. They are barely reviewed or promoted (which is kind of attracting me more). And also later will be getting powered bookshelf speakers with a matching subwoofer instead of wasting money on a soundbar which will have inferior drivers, a larger footprint, takes up a precious HDMI port, and duplicates a lot of the features (streaming, virtual surround, etc) already on the TV.
