Omg, you can't imagine how much I enjoy a nice calm monologue without stupid music and montage every 5 seconds. Good job!

4 weeks on lockdown an he's gone mad talking to himself.

He's not just talking to himself. 1:38

[@tanvirahemd8938]

what you on about...it's a different person? one guy is called vinnie, other person vincent lol

[@RYTHMICRIOT]

Vincent, your self deprecating humor is off the charts! Thanks for the laugh.

[@darky-bk4kh]

i exactly thought the same! :D

[@koolk2115]

Vincent Teoh's reviews are very educational and entertaining. I always look forward to watching him.

[@AJ-zl8bz]

I don't know what it is, but your humor always makes me chuckle! Well done.

[@DealingWithAB]

For a moment there, i thought this was a collaboration between you and stop the fomo lol

Lol vincent you had my crying within the first 60 seconds! 🤣😂 love it! Please never stop making videos! ❤

[@DanMufc-jt9le]

Great guide and video vincent, Loved the intro you did the most entertaining thing to come out during this lockdown lol, But i know what to look for now when i maybe get a new one when the series x comes out later this year

[@bjom77]

I ended up purchasing an LG E9 after months of research and Vincent's jokes. Very excited.

[@ricepony33]

More intros like that! Gold!

[@sinminlee]

Thanks! This is helpful! Stay safe and stay healthy.

[@SpaceCadet4Jesus]

Thank you Vinnie for this video and each of the reduced categories that I should consider for my TV. You'll be happy to know I bought the TCL 8 Series Roku Q825 65". An excellent All around TV.

[@XDLugia]

Thanks. I'm upgrading my TV setup for the Xbox Series X, and I've been mostly looking at the LG OLEDs, specifically the CX series. This video just makes me even more confident in my choice.

[@Excalabur50]

Excellent info thanks Vincent!

[@hardcorevintagefades]

I just got a 55" LG CX. He is right... an LG OLED is amazing for gaming! I can't believe how beautiful and smooth the tv is. I upgraded from the LG curved OLED EG9100 and I am amazed by the difference in clarity and motion. Thanks for the video!

[@CyclingYYC]

Great video Vincent. I appreciate the information.

[@christianoria1017]

So funny, you made my day 😂

[@fullychargedgames2662]

Great video mate, very insightful 😊

[@G-flo]

Loving the content Sir Teoh! As much as I enjoy the high-end stuff, I would love to see some budget to premium 32's for those smaller rooms from time to time. So far the QN32Q50R from Samsung seems to be the best option within that market.

[@etho86]

Thanks Vincent, looks like I need an 80 inch Oled! *looks at bank account* Nope.

[@Michael_NL]

This guy is the best! Laugh every time, and learn something!

[@producedagains808]

Great vid bro

[@janesam3257]

Awesome video, thanks for the laugh.

[@midnightbazaar]

@HDTV thanks for the video. I used to have a Pioneer Kuro LX5090 Plasma (after 12 years it got accidentally damaged) loved the blacks and natural realistic images..What tv would you recommend less than 77" ..i watch sports, movies and some gaming. Was considering OLED 55" C9 or E9 (or better gertung C9 with separate sound system add on) but are the images too vivid? Would I be better with a Panasonic? Please suggest alternatives or which is most suitable?

[@SuperLanyard]

Vin, Thanks for all your work. Going to buy a new Sony but waiting for your review on the X950H. P.S. Your hair looks great but we want to know where you scored the very cool glasses.

[@markyounanof3818]

Ha! Delivered dead pan as always. Love it!

[@murch13]

Ha, this was great. Thanks for the laugh and the great info.

[@macgyvermac2344]

hey vinnie and vincent my question is why i get a large error when i calibrate game mode sdr gray scale track the rbg below but still together but i get 3.4 aver and 4.5 max all other mode cinema,isf bright and dark room, technicolor aver 0.5 max 1.2 i was wondering if it's trying to compensate low input lag processor i have a lg sm9000

[@untouchablec2330]

Lg cx for the win ... love to see your take on it I have a 65in another question I would like to see answered is ppi... would a 65 play and look better then a 77in due to pixel per inch...

[@ArchWayE]

What would you recommend for someone wanting to have as a 65" monitor for color grading for independent film projects? I see that Panasonic has the TC-65GZ2000 but that is very expensive and not available in the USA. (It can always be shipped and imported through proxy.) and I do not know if it can be calibrated throughout its usage. Is the current 2020 generation of LG Oled (ie. LG OLED 65 CX) able to be calibrated by a CalMAN?

[@passsacaglia]

Haha! Samsung Q70 vs TCL EP685 like 55 inch? Gonna have it as PC monitor so nice brightness armour and level of details is my highest concerns! Any opt ins from you guys??

[@suryachandan6173]

Hello Vincent , I just discovered your channel and I am amazed at how good all your reviews are. I appreciate all the detailed reviews. I'm not sure if you'll see this but here goes.. I was wondering if you can help me with my decision. I am planning to get a future-proof 4K HDR TV. I watch a lot of sports and play FIFA on PS4 (~4 hours a week maybe) and maybe watch a movie over the weekend. I am looking at 65" TV's. I am looking at Sony Z9F and X950H. Although, it looks like X900H will have more future proof updates available via firmware, I believe X950H will have all of these but Sony didn't make an official statement yet. I cannot see how a "inferior" model can have more future proof features (also X950H has the superior "ultimate" processor). I think wide-angle viewing and Dolby Atmos speaker justify the price of X950H over X900H. So, tl;dr Watch sports, play FIFA, X950H or Z9F? (And do you think X950H will get all the features X900H will get via a firmware update). Thank you.

[@kurtm54]

I just have to say, this guy is the real deal. Vincent is the best.

[@ozzyg82]

Thanks Vince.

[@carltonbreezy]

Dude has just stopped me buying Qled, thank you sir! :)

[@zgpm7031]

what about if you watch movies, sport and play games on one screen. Is the panasonic oled the best option. I still use a kuro plasma which Im considering replacing

[@djskooby8207]

Absolutely love the reviews!! Appreciate all the info. Am basing my next TV upgrade from the Panasonic VT65 Plasma to the GZ1000U Oled because of the info from Vincent.. or is it Vinnie?? Dang I dunno..

[@the.DARKNE55]

I just bought a lgc9 and its the best tv ive seen. Its good enough for me very happy after a lgsm8600 that had god awful backlight bleeding

[@TheFaxeProject]

i basically made the same upgrade as you. went from sk8000 to C8 and my mind was blown. OLED's are something else!

[@mustafab.5261]

My lg c9 came yesterday verry happy with the tv

[@MisterReen]

Got a E9 last week and love it so far. Stunning quality for movies and games 😍

[@midnightbazaar]

@@MisterReen would you say the images are natural not too vivid? Im thinking colors of Pioneer or Panasonic plasmas

[@MisterReen]

@midnightbazaar No, the picture is not too vivid. I don´t think that you can compare it to the plasmas. The standard setting of the LG Oled is very natural. if you like you can increase the amount of colour, but it´s not recommended if you want a natural picture. Samsung Qantum-LEDS are way more vivid in their standard settiings, it´s all about personal preference.

[@hanes2]

U should do one of these videos every year^ very good.

[@v1sh77u]

can you review the one plus 8 pro display,because oneplus said it’s display has 10bit colour and motion estimation and motion compensation features and also it has 1444 nits of peak brightness

[@Elix17]

Hi, Vincent! I have a Pioneer KRP500M which I use as a PC monitor. My usage is mixed browsing/photo editing/movies/games. I'm a perfectionist and an accuracy junkie like yourself (in the best meaning possible), I calibrate my own displays with i1 Pro. But I noticed that my eyesight is beginning to deteriorate (because of the plasma flicker, I assume). What would you recommend as an alternative under 1500$ in 50-55"? It would be hard for me to give up on inky blacks and accurate colors.

[@waltergordon4682]

Vincent i always watch your KZbin docs but you have left me stumped which is the best to do all the things.

[@btres]

Waiting for the C9 vs CX video!

[@Mr_Battlefield]

That's going to be awhile. 😔

[@ericimi]

Same tv lol

[@Mark........]

Hey bro i just wanna know what tv you bought and thants good enough for me

[@michaelfoster3441]

Another great video

[@ang8965]

Great informative video....i watch movies and sports can you suggest some tv models for me.... i currently have a Panasonic Viera plasma for the past 14 years and its still has vibrant colors...its one of my best tv purchases ever... thank you

[@iariag1]

Hi Vincent, what do you think of the Q800T?? is it a good buy?? or avoid??

[@abhishekjoshi171]

Hi, could you please advice; if is it worth paying extra for Q85 Samsung or should I stick to Q80? Is there any difference other than one connect box? Also, is Q80 best non-oled tv one can buy in 2020?

[@sulimanz7067]

should i go with c9 or cx 55 inches and what are the chances of burn in

[@xbone8950]

Finally the collaboration we've all been waiting for, Vincent and Stop the Fomo.

[@PSYCHOV3N0M]

HAHAHAHAHAHA!!

[@Ghostpro2]

😂😂

[@sozzledpete4641]

Great start 😂

[@gregordeissler2094]

The gz2000 ot hz2000 seems to be the ideal tv: very good light output for OLED, nearly no image retention, perfect blacks (of course), very good color accuracy and upscaling

[@rogerhalt3991]

Nice one Vinny! If we were able to get the Vizios imported for a decent price it would be fantastic. Panasonic FZ802 was always my go to choice and the tech can only be better all these years later!

[@killerkevin27]

I'm trying to wait for June on the 48" CX. Already have a 65" C7 for movie streaming and gaming but I'll use the 48" primarily for PC gaming and keep the C7 for streaming movies and shows. I've loved LG OLED thus far.

[@rabbitmedivh1991]

Desperately waiting for the CX review of Vince.

[@MrLazenby007]

Mrs Lazenby: "how many subscribers do those two boys have?" Me: "Its the same person"

[@frankallen3634]

Thanks for the cheat sheet and since I need a TV at least over 77" in a bright area but doing gaming and do not care about lag too much I'll hunt down a Samsung qled

[@MrDunk66]

Funny guy 😂. One of my favourite Tubers. Held my breath until LG was mentioned. Just bought LG C9 last year. Might have chosen otherwise after seeing this but am very happy with my C9 generally.

[@Epyon1201]

Best hd blu-ray player for a LG E9? I'm worried about paying for features my TV cant take advantage of while still not bottlenecking my tv's abilities.

[@maxhill9254]

thx Vinnie

[@KeiLin11]

Due to coronavirus lockdown people tend to imagine different things. Btw nice hairstyle, you seems refreshed. Well a decent guide at least.

[@Sy-lv9om]

So basically we need a Panasonic Sony LG TV in one. Because I want a great looking picture with amazing colour and motion with low lag. If only someone could take all 3 TVs and make the ultimate one 👍🏼 great vid as usual.

[@PSYCHOV3N0M]

THAT would be a TV I would be willing to pay $10,000 for.

[@MikeMatu92]

Thanks, Vincent! I'm really considering going for OLED since I game a lot, I'm just concerned about burn-in. :/ Have LG gotten better with the newer models C9, CX, on this issue? Gaming incorporates a lot of HUD's, and I want to make sure it can handle that long-term.

[@editorxv7496]

Very interesting 👌

[@zstripe22]

Hello. Just got a 55Q60RA (not that bright as I would expected due to the edge LED technology) and I'm curios if it's worth trading it back for a Q70 or a Sony 55XF9005? The main concern is if the 55XF9005 is still good to get since it's a 2018 model. thank you very much!

[@MisterReen]

Hi HDTV should I buy the Sony x900h TV?

[@iskato914six]

excellent video Vinnie&Vincent! what if I asked for 2 out of 3 catagories. Movies and Games best TV, with not much care for sports. Also, would you ever consider doing 4K Ultra Short Throw laser projector reviews? very interested in that content. Thanks!

[@leeoverton2786]

What do you think of the new LG 4K nanocell TVs.

[@peshpeshabdulla]

I prefer tcl mini led x10 for 64inches but it is not arrived in Australia

[@buddy305luv9]

Vince. I game, watch sports, and movies almost equally. I watch network TV programs, Netflix and Prime video more than movies and gaming. What is a good all around TV? I have a Sony XBR950B, and looking to go OLED. Was looking at the LG W9 because I think it will last me a long time.

[@zeiters2055]

Hi Vin Im curious to see an analysis of quality native dynamic tone mapping vs Dolby Vision. Can the 2019/2020 Sony dynamic tone mapping match an LG outputting Dolby Vision?

[@marcuscole8796]

The Sonys do not offer dynamic tone mapping ... only dynamic panel brightness adjustment. The only true dynamic tone mapping - close to what DV achieves - you can get is "Active HDR" with LG sets.

[@MrDarkmaster997]

I am considering buying a TV for my room, now i have been doing my research but to be honest i am really confused with all of this stuff my current TV is quite old and I want to buy a new one just for gaming under 500,I would love to hear some recommendations, thanks.

[@CYFL79]

Its between the samsung q80t or the 2020 nano 90 series for me, still not sure yet which one though.

[@Matty_UK]

Cool video. Over the last 10yrs I've upgraded alot and gotten through a ton of high end and mid range TVs from all the biggest brands. For me Panasonic always shines through. You pay a bit extra but you do get that extra quality. Such a shame they stepped away from full array local dimming TVs though. The Panasonic DX902 still wipes the floor with Samsung's high end Qleds and it's a 4yr old TV. They should make some more high end and mid range ones they'd sell well.

[@geniusboy3101]

Can you help me with a 55” TV for color grading monitor ?

[@gamegodtre141]

Whts the best for sd content like old tv shows from the 80s n prior

[@johnbreton2632]

I like to game on my TV a lot and LG will be a nice choice for me but I`m a bit afraid about the burn-in on the OLED panels.

[@wblue10]

Great video, im just wondering about the LG when it comes to "gaming". I really take your word when you say that they are the "best" for gaming. I know they look great as well for movies and sports as well, but not the BEST. but for gaming which is what im going after, thats where it shines. My question is though about the next gen consoles coming, and that LG doesnt have amd "FREESYNC" compatibility. Ive seen videos about it'll be added via a software update but it wont be "Freesync ultimate" which other manufacterers has, like samsung for instance. Wouldnt samsung or Tvs with that be better then for "gaming"? Thanks in advance!

[@hyyenaA]

I was about to buy a OLED LG E9 65" mainly for movies and a bit gaming. Now while I see this video I'm not so sure anymore... Which Panasonic TV would you recommend in this Priceclass 2000-2300? Greetings

[@sneikiusas]

Im sorry what about QLED being highest nit and highest color volume having TV?

[@tercian88]

I love this guy’s jokes ;p

[@rotjko9268]

What would be the best OLED for watching cable TV mostly? Panasonic(best color accuracy) or Sony(best upscaling)?

[@fmerabsamii849]

Vincent, can you please talk about OLED, gaming and motion handling? Although response time matters when gaming, motion is important as well, especially for 30fps content on console. Is OLED truly too good for 30fps content? Will it be a downgrade when coming from a high end FALD HDR Sony?

[@devoker666]

audio is broken on lg. both internal apps and arc output has noticable audio delay. if you connect and xbox to tv and arc to soundbar delay is terrible. why no reviewers talk about this issue?

[@thawk4life]

[@m.s5220]

Great channel 👏👏👏 At the moment I’m planning to buy a new TV mostly for watching movies, my target is a 55” tv, for the budget it’s around 600 US $ I’ve been looking for almost a week, it’s really confusing I live in the Middle East so it’s really bright. I would really appreciate it if you could provide me with a list of tv’s that i can choose from.

[@thedutchfisherman7078]

Hi Vincent, Do you have any Idea when you're gonna review the Samsung Q90T or Q95T?

Currently no ETA on a review sample.

[@bivv93]

Which of them for better color accuracy, motion and gaming? Sony A9H, LG' CX or Panasonic's GZ950?
