Great update as I was debating waiting for the '83 QD-OLED, but decided not to wait and bought the G4 '83 during the holiday sales. Only option for going with '77 QD-OLED is to sit much closer to the TV.

[@IntotheFurther.]

People keep saying “77in is big enough and not that much difference vs 83in”. ABSOLUTELY WRONG. Having both sizes in my home, 83” is a much more immersive experience than my 77”. On my TV stand the 77” looks so small compared to the 83”.

Hi Brian. Following all your awesome content from CES. That’s two of us with broken hearts! I was too desperately waiting for a 83’’ QD-OLED to upgrade my A90j but sadly I can’t go down to a 77’’. Anyway hope you and the family are doing okay and thanks for all your great videos! Julio

[@undone14]

I'd sacrifice 6 inches from 83" to go to 77" (i currently have 2; C9 and A80J) to ensure I got a QD-OLED. The question is if the 83" Samsung is using the new LG 4 stack. The G5 sounds promising but I too had my sights set on an 83" QD-OLED. Lets see how the G5 does regarding Color volume. I know it won't hit the QD OLED levels but I'm curious if there is any improvement there.

[@tistru]

A 83” QD-OLED would have been nice, but I predict that Brian and many others will be super impressed by the new RGB tandem OLED 4 stack panel in the G5 and Z95B. 2000+ nits calibrated, higher color volume, and over 300 nits full screen (allegedly). Really going head to head with QD-OLED and the most meaningful advancement from LG in a long while. Keep your eyes peeled

[@nimblegoat]

The gamut is definitely better see peaks Vincents Panasonic Z95B , so if hits say 85% BT2020 with real "true" black, should look wonderful, also probably easier to control processing on these tandem OLEDS , as dealing with real pure colours. So imagine dark scenes might be better again , Plenty of volume to play around with for mapping luminosity and hues anyway. Ie a 90% DCI-P3 mapped really good will look better than a 100% mapped badly . Anyway all the companies now have some great mapping , but normally they choose their compromises for tech used

[@BRIANSTECHTHERAPY]

That is the hope!

[@GenX_in_the_wild]

Samsung gets underestimated every year. They are not stupid. They analyse the market like nobody else. IMO 83 inch OLED is a super small niche where many customers get a larger sized Mini LED TV because of the price tag.. They will probably generate more sales at retail with their matte screens, just because that is something that average joe and lisa can recognize as something new when they are visiting retail. By the way the matte screen got copied by TCL this year.. QM6K has just a similar looking matte screen as the Samsung models.. And nobody is talking about it..

[@thetrumanshow4791]

I guess the question of the year is . . . Which panel actually looks better, more colorful and brighter, the current 4th Gen QD-OLED or these new 4-Stack panels?

[@cadefoster9279]

If it looks like a QD oled does it matter it’s not?

[@joek6207]

That new WOLED looks great! Panasonic just gave all the details on the panel

[@BRIANSTECHTHERAPY]

[@joek6207]

[@jaimepontes3236]

Brian, it seems like your a80L 83" still rocks! The G5 seems like an upgrade, but I would wait for what sony will do with this 4stack panel. I was really hoping for bigger sizes and lower prices above the 77" from LG.

[@carlm189]

I was in the same boat as you Brian, waiting for that 83" S90F. I guess im going to go for G4 or G5 depending on prices. Or maybe C5 depending on how bright it can get...

[@444chroma]

If this 83 was using the new tandem stack then maybe that tells us all we need to know. Passes for QD OLED?

[@LeezahB]

So is the panel that Panasonic announced, the Primary RGB Tandem Panel (4-stack), for the Z95B the same panel possibly in the G5? Was the panel actually made by LG?

[@BRIANSTECHTHERAPY]

Yes my friend! That's what the G5 actually is. I just wish LG said that.

I have a 77” G2 and a Samsung QN90B mini LED tv that I use as my daily’s. They have been great and I have no issues with either one, I will be looking at getting a 83” OLED and if there isn’t going to be a QD in 83” than there is no reason at all to get the Samsung OLED over the G5. However I would consider getting the 85” QN90F depending upon if the issues with the QN90Ds are all fixed this year.

Loved this video. I hope it has given you some emotional cleansing. Mini-LED's only get better as size increases so at 83-85 I would definitely go mini-LED if you're in the premium market. You're buying a premium tv for its HDR performance and large mini-LED's are a clear tier above when it comes to HDR impact. If the Sony leak ends up being real the B10 might cheer you up a bit after this heartbreak.

[@Sinier940n]

Nah, once you go OLED there is no turning back.

[@bartus88]

@Sinier940n OLED has some considerable shortcomings. If you read forums like AVS a decent amount of people come running back to mini-LED after giving OLED a try. It's ultimately up to personal preference.

Also Brian, if you saw this TV in person and loved it why does finding out it’s a WOLED completely kill it for you? That seems really shallow. If the TV design and picture looked amazing, isn’t that all that matters? Not some label on what type of tech they used to give you that glorious picture. BTW: I really do think the 83” Samsung is using the tandem OLED tech. Seemed to really impress you Brian 😉

[@BRIANSTECHTHERAPY]

I hear ya! But the label means the nothing but the tech inside is tangible. QD-OLED is unreal in its capabilities that I can see in all content. These still look amazing as they are oleds after all but I'm looking to go beyond what I already have.

[@chriskelly1740]

If I had $7,000, I would be just as disappointed as you. In fact, knowing (1) that QD-OLED is the best and (2) I can physically fit it in place of my 85-inch Sony X90L if I had the money, I AM as disappointed as you. However, being that the difference between the larger sizes within my maximum physical space isn't that significant, I'd put performance above size, wait a few months, and see if Sony replaces their A95L with a model with a fourth-generation QD-OLED panel. Whether they replace it or keep the A95L, I'd get a 77-inch version, sit a little closer to it if I need the emersion, and be merry. When I was researching large-screen laptops back in 2019, I chose a 15.6" AMOLED over a 17.3" IPS LCD. If you do the calculations between 83" and 77", the percentage difference is the same. If I have to replace my laptop, I'd hope they have a 17.3" AMOLED, but if they don't I'd get another 15.6" AMOLED.
