i ordered 1080p SDR monitor but with way more color gamut than my 4k HDR TV.
cant waitto compare how my ps pro looks on them in a few weeks!
I don't understand. If the monitor is SDR, it will be fed an SDR signal so the colour gamut will still be the same as any other SDR display - i.e. 8 bit colour.
If you’re looking to spend $600 on a TV, you should get the TCL P-Series. If the 65” model was available today, I’d be out there buying it for myself. Unless you exclusively watch HDR content, you’re going to have to spend a lot more money to get a better image than the TCL, and it represents the best value in a TV you can get today. I spent a week worried I was runnings test incorrectly or doing something wrong until I had other sets of eyes come over and verify what I was seeing. It isn’t a perfect TV by any means, but for most people, it’s a fantastic value and comes highly recommended
Input lag with HDR is my top priority so Vizio TVs are out. I have narrowed it down to a few TVs.
Sony 55X900E $1399
Samsung 65" KS8500 $1599
Samsung 55" KS8000 $999
For $999 the 8000 seems like a great deal but the x900e has slightly better hdr performance plus it's FALD. The lag on the 900 is less than desirable however. I rather have a 65 incher so the 8500 with its 8000 specs including the better lag input makes it's a pretty compelling choice. I could live without the curve (it doesn't seem too pronounced on Samsungs) but I haven't run across 65 inch flat model.
I am open to other TVs but only with well documented lag figures with HDR content.
I am leaning towards the KS8500 but I wanted to make sure I am not missing any relevant information.
Anybody want to chime in?
Price sounds great but wary of the Chinese brands.
They used to implant spyware into picture frames years ago and more recently some of the smart phones had suspicious software too.
US govt. also barred the use of Huawei routers, IIRC, due to security concerns.
I'm not gonna worry about that on a TV...
Generally I think "privacy concerns" are overrated. That ship kinda sailed. At this point we kind of just have to accept large corporations have all our data, IMO. It's not the end of the world, clearly.
A good example is the voice assistants like echo. Probably a privacy nightmare. i choose to overlook it and use them anyway.
That said I wouldn't buy a Lenovo laptop, after reading they had spyware installed on them some years ago...

Yeah, mine is the winner of the budget line. I have the 43" one. They had a good piece of advice under "Settings": "The 'Clearness' setting will make the backlight flash, producing a clearer image but reducing the brightness of the TV. This can be useful to clear motion while playing video games without increasing the input lag." I just upped the brightness and things looks quite sharp when gaming. And the scaling is also nice. http://www.rtings.com/tv/reviews/sony/x800d/settings
Agreed, 3D is dead. It's because people hate having things on their face unless its for extreme and intense pleasure.
I thought it might live on because the selling price differential was so small compared to non-3D sets, guess not.
A smart TV is basically a computer with zero security that you connect your devices too. When you connect two devices together with HDMI, that connection includes an Ethernet bridge. Malware injection over I/O is how many devices become compromised.
Isn't zero security is a bit harsh? I think my LG TV have security built into it!
