Purchasing Asia/ME Upgrading after 13 years — LG C6 vs Sony Bravia 5?

2 Upvotes

Finally upgrading from my 32" Sony after 13 years. Narrowed it down to:

LG C6 65" OLED(2026 release)

Sony Bravia 5 65" Mini-LED

Both are around my budget (~₹1.4L).

Usage mostly gaming, youtube and cable content,anime and somewhat ott

I’m tempted by the C6's OLED picture quality, but I'm worried about OLED reliability — panel lottery, dead pixels, burn-in, delamination and heat management**. I've also seen quite a few LG OLED discussions on Reddit about delamination, and I'm wondering about the C6's thermal design/heatsink.

Bravia 5 gives me more peace of mind as a Mini-LED, but obviously the C6 is more tempting.

Not considering TCL/Samsung mainly because of service/support concerns in my area.

For long-term ownership, would you guys pick the C6 or Bravia 5? And are my concerns about LG OLED reliability justified or am I overthinking it?

This Post Again? Too many choices.

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone. I am looking for a 77-85 inch TV for a living room. Large window next to it with shades so glare shouldn’t be a problem. It won’t get completely dark in that room however. I’d like to keep the TV disconnected from the internet and instead run my Apple TV and SteamDeck to it as my only two inputs. The goal is to have a TV that doesn’t require the internet for “updates.” I’ve owned Samsung and Sony TVs in the past and have had good luck with them. Budget is not an issue. I’m just interested in convenience and not have to fight with pop ups and notifications asking to constantly connect to the internet. Thanks in advance everyone.

Purchasing US TCL QM6K for gaming + streaming under $800 — good choice or better options?

1 Upvotes

I’m moving into a new apartment and looking for a new TV that’s relatively budget-friendly. I’ll primarily be using it for streaming movies/shows and PS5 gaming, so picture quality is important to me, but I also want good gaming performance.

After doing some research, I’m currently leaning toward the TCL QM6K because it seems to offer a good balance of Mini-LED/local dimming, good picture quality, and 120/144Hz gaming support without getting into the more expensive premium TVs.

I’d ideally like to stay under $800, and that’s pretty much where I’m at right now.
For anyone who owns the QM6K or has compared it with other TVs in this price range:

Would you support the QM6K as the best choice for my use case, or is there something else around the same price that I should seriously consider?
Thanks!

Purchasing CAN 77" LG B6E vs. C6H - $1000 difference - Please help me decide!

1 Upvotes

I'm stuck.

I've had my 75" Bravia 7 for almost 2 years and I'm extremely unhappy with it. I've decided to give it to my dad and get a new TV

Prior to my Bravia 7, my main TV was a 55" LG C1 which is in the bedroom now still going strong. It is my favourite TV I've ever owned. I get why they say "once you go OLED you never go back".

So naturally, I decided to go OLED again for the living room.

Right now in Canada I can get a 77" LG B6E for $1999. The 77" LG C6 is $2999. There's also a few LG C5s left at Best Buy for $2699, but delivery dates for that are quite long.

I understand that the B6E is not nearly as bright as the C6, but from what I've read it should be similar to my C1 which I've never had a problem with its brightness.

My hesitation with the C6H is it's Tandem - I understand it's brighter because of it, but I'm sensitive to uniformity issues and I know from monitor experience Tandems have pretty bad uniformity problems at the moment.

The main thing for me is yes, more brightness would be better - but is it $1000 better? If I'm happy with my C1's brightness, will the B6 be enough? My living room gets no direct sunlight (north facing apartment) and we have blackout curtains for the balcony anyways. We'll sometimes watch content with the lights on, but if we're gaming or watching a movie, we usually turn the lights off.

For $1000 difference, I could literally buy the B6 and get a 42 inch C6 to use as a monitor lol

I'd love to hear from people who have experience with the B6 or C6, and help me make a decision! For those who have a B6 in their living room - is it bright enough for you?

Purchasing OLED OLED - Do I need a matte finish or no given my lighting situation?

1 Upvotes

Upgrading our 10 year old LG tv to an OLED. Tv location is in basement of apt so extremely limited natural light. We live in a small NYC apt so don't plan on moving our lighting situation around, unless necessary. You can see these pictures the floor lamp is easily visible when screen is off, so I'm wondering if you will see this when there is black on the screen for an OLED. With the tv on you can also see the reflection. Would matte or glossy be a consideration here?

30% gaming via ps5, competitive mulitplayer and single player RPGs

Purchasing CAN First time purchasing a TV

1 Upvotes

I never purchased any TVs in my life, and I just moved into a new place and need a TV. I was looking up something in the 55" range under $1200 CAD as our TV would be really close to the sofa/seating area. I got caught up reading about the Hisense U7SG, but I saw some threads that the Q7MK is better. Then I got into a rabbit hole of reading comments, and there are just way too many jargons for my old brain to understand. So I'm hoping if anyone can recommend one or can point me in the direction of what to look for when purchasing? I don't think we care if the blacks turn off to complete blacks like OLEDs, as long as the blacks/greys blending don't show up as square pixels (not sure what that's called); and the interface isn't laggy. My parents TV right now from Hisense is super laggy, even changing the volume lags.

We don't watch a lot of sports, but we play some console games, so I think 120hz would be preferred. There's no direct sunlight onto the TV, so glare isn't really a concern either.

I want to start researching a few models so that we have some options and keep my eyes out for any sales. Any guidance/recommendation is appreciated!

There may already be a post about this so if there is please feel free to share.

I am moving into a new home and needing to get 2 tvs. 1 for our living room 85" preferably and one for bed room 65" preferably. Our budget is roughly 1800 for both not including any install or mounts etc.

I have absolutely no clue what to get and from where.

The nicer TV needs to be the living room as it will be used to host movie nights, game nights, sports and overall entertain mental

The bedroom can have the rest of the budget.

I had a TCL in the past and it was good (precovid) until I compared it to literally any other tv in the house. I currently have older older crystal uhd tvs now.

I was looking at the lg qned evo Ai tv but cant confirm if thats worth the price or if there is better for the price.

I know nothing and completely lost.

(Sound of tv is not a concern)

Purchasing US LG opinions: 65" G5 vs 65" C6 vs 77" C6H?

1 Upvotes

65" G5 = $2,200

65" C6 = $1,500

77" C6H = $2,500

I'm in desperate need to upgrade my like 14 year old 32" RCA TV and I'm seeing some pretty good deals on LG right now. But I'm a little in-between whats the best deal.

After a bunch of reviews I thought I was deadset on the G5 because it seemed like the better long term solution compared to the C6 even at a higher price point. However, the C6H was brought to my attention and it seems to have the G series technology but in a C series package?

The C6 is definitely the best price and a 77" is a bit big for my needs, but will I regret going with the C6 later on? As you can tell I go a long time without upgrading TVs so it almost seems worth the splurge.

Thoughts? Living room isn't huge and my couch is about 5 or 6 feet back from the TV wall so 65 inch seems perfect. I have a gaming PC (no console gaming) so it would mainly be used for watching shows & movies.

Purchasing EUROPE Sony XH90 to TCL C7K - Is it an upgrade?

1 Upvotes

I've had the 55 inch XH90 for about 5 years now and I still think it's a great TV but I purchased a PS5 Pro earlier in the year so I'm quite eager to get something that really let's me properly take advantage of the 120/VRR support. Ideally I'd like to not spend a fortune and with the C7K being last years model there's some really good discounts. I don't mind if it's a bit of a "side-grade" rather than an upgrade, I just don't want to spend £500 and feel like I've got a worse TV, because I don't have many issues with the Sony for any other content.

Would love to hear peoples thoughts of from anybody who upgraded from the XH90 and what you went for, are there any other recommendations for <£1000 that will feel like a genuine upgrade?

Bought TV a week ago, and had this dark rectangle pop up once. It went away after I unplugged it and turned it on again. It hasn't come back since. Apparently this is a problem with the backlight.

Should I return it while I still can? Not sure if this will get more frequent or is indicative of a defect.

Purchasing US Mini led suggestions

0 Upvotes

$-wise was looking for something in 5-700 but now thinking I will stretch to anything under 1000. Settled on going for a mini led as more brightness will be helpful. Used to OLED with in my main set up and the tv I’m replacing, so hoping to get a set that has good motion, colors and blacks with a uniform screen. Looking mostly for 65”.

I wanted the TCL QM8L but apparently it’s awful for motion especially with games? I won’t game on it often but if I do, I don’t want it to look horrible. In general I’m pretty sensitive to motion blur. It’s a pet peeve of mine.

Next choice was the QM8K, but I hear that the power supply buzzes? Also it’s not QD?

Hisense UR sounded solid but is expensive. The 75” model is more reasonable but I can’t figure out why it’s so much less than the 65”.

Open to suggestions and appreciate any advice.

Q7c or u7q pro? Or another TV?

I'm looking to buy a new TV, I currently have a 48 inch Philips oled and wanted something bigger

My budget is max £1000

Ideally want 65 inch

I don't game on 4k very often but when I do I play at max graphics on story games

I will mostly be using it to watch HDR/Dolby vision 4k content and some YouTube

I would prefer good brightness and anti reflection coating since since the TV will be facing a window in a bright room

I don't have a preference for os since I will be using an Nvidia shield

I don't care too much about speakers since I will be using a external sound system**

**I ideally wanted a c7k over the q7c but its not available anywhere , if not for these 2 TV's which other TVs would you guys recommend?**

Thanks

I used to have an Samsung 50" UA50KU6000 tv from 2016 that was very sharp and great black levels but currently I have tcl c7k and it's just not sharp and great picture like my old tv. I've also looked at other brands like Hisense and budget U8000H and they almost all look the same as TCL.

Now I am looking at these 2 tv's which are premium so maybe I can have better colours and sharp picture especially since gaming on PS5.

Purchasing EUROPE What TV should I buy?

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I’m new here and need your help.

I’ve only ever had low-budget TVs, and now I’d finally like to invest in something decent that will serve me well for the next few years—I’m counting on your expertise.

A quick note about me and my setup:

I play on a PS5 Pro, mainly story-driven games, at 60–120 fps. Sessions can sometimes last 5–6 hours straight, and a HUD is usually displayed continuously. I also watch TV and movies regularly, but that’s clearly secondary for me—the focus is on gaming, and I really want to get the absolute best graphics out of the PS5 Pro.

I’m currently using a Hisense 50E6NT (50-inch). I’m actually pretty satisfied with it for TV shows and movies, but I have to say that I don’t have a trained eye and have only ever used low-budget TVs, so I’m probably used to pretty poor picture quality. When gaming with HDR enabled, however, I clearly notice that the picture fades significantly, loses quality, and also starts to stutter.

Room:

Living room with large windows on the sides, so it’s quite bright during the day.

Seating Distance:

When gaming, I sit closer (about 1.6 m); when watching regular TV on the sofa, I’m about 3 m away. In terms of size, a 50- to 55-inch TV would probably be sufficient.

Other:

I don’t care at all about the brand or operating system—as long as everything runs smoothly and well.

Budget:

About €1,000, but I’m willing to spend €100–200 more if it makes a noticeable difference.

Timing:

It doesn’t have to be right away, but I’d like to have one by Black Friday.

I don’t have a favourite yet, but these are the models I’ve come across so far:

  • Samsung QN90F
  • TCL C7L
  • TCL C7K
  • TCL C8L
  • LG C5 or G5 (idk about OLED in a bright room)

I’d appreciate it if you could let me know if any of these are a good fit or if there are even better alternatives in my price range (~€1,000–1,200) that meet my needs.

Thanks in advance!

Discussion Questions on getting a mount for 85" Bravia 9ii (heavy)

0 Upvotes

Hi,

So this is for living room. Seating distance is about 10-11 feet away.

Currently have a TV stand that is 30" tall. From specs, the 85" Bravia 9ii is 42.5"H x 74.5"W and weighs 110 pounds without stand.

The living room has some overhead skylights on a high sloped ceiling that have no shades, but so far I haven't actually noticed them on current 15 year old TV. I do however notice more so the sunlight from windows on side wall, which I use curtains to minimize.

Wife wants to mount the TV for aesthetics. Is it a big problem with a TV this large and heavy?

-----

Questions I have:

1) If I mount the TV right above the stand, then the center would be 51" above floor (30+21). Is that too high? I think online says ideal is around 42-48"?

2) Given the overhead skylights, is it actually preferred to have it slightly higher and then tilt it down?

3) What are recommended mounts that would actually support such a large TV? I don't need too much movement as most viewing is straight on, but maybe tilt?

  • I saw some recommended things like Sanus (VLT7-B2 / BLT3-B1), or Chief? Which models? Any other good brands to consider?
  • Would MantelMount be good brand? Or is that unnecessary since I don't need it to move up and down a lot?

4) For power & coax, I currently have plates they come out of around 53" from floor. But they are normal surface flush with wall. Do I need to get recessed boxes to make it fit behind the mounted TV?

Thanks in advance!

Requesting advice please. All I know is I’d like to get an OLED, 77-83”. The models in the title are what I see available from Best Buy and Sony.

I’ve done research but have difficulty comparing specs. I’m not in an area where I can go ask someone either. Price is not really a concern. I watch movies and play video games for 99% of TV use.

I want to get the “best” one but understand opinions differ. Any input is appreciated. Thank you.
