Yes, I'll be using a PS4Pro.
Sony A9F (OLED) and Z9F (LED/LCD) Master series TVs got announced.
Lots of details missing (including pricing) but these have some interesting new features.
Edit:No Auto Low Latency Mode or VRR on either of these, apparently.

Guess we are all going to have wait until 2019 for HDMI 2.1 TVs.
You might be waiting for IFA next year for HDMI 2.1 to show up.
I haven't seen anything on the horizon that would tell me there'll be a flood of HDMI 2.1 TV's at CES.
For those who only care about brightness and not anything else when it comes to PQ, the Z9F isn't for you. It'll be less bright than the Z9D.

No, that branch of industry loves trickling out upgrades preferably breaking compatibility.
HDMI 2.1 is worth waiting for though. I wouldn’t buy new AV gear without it, but I kinda expected to wait until 2020/2021 in any case. (After the Tokyo Olympics)
You can’t market your product as hdmi 2.1 supported until its has passed compliance testing and the specifications for CTS are still being rolled out. You have products like the X which supports VRR and ALLM and the Sony’s Master series which support the new eARC features but neither can be marketed as 2.1 supported.
Hypothetically, every new TV planned for release in 2019 could come with 2.1 support but no manufacturer could tell you that now because they are explicitly forbidden from doing so.

HDMI.org states the first set of CTS specs were released just this month which is only 5 days old.
HDMI encourages initial self testing by manufacturers before sending a first production model to an ATC (authorized testing center) for compliance testing.
If testing has started its early in the process and only encompasses the first set of specs which is odd because the original timeline had the final stages of the CTS releasing this quarter.

You should disable that, on my ZD9 it’s called... wait what is is called? Ah, “X-tended dynamic range”. This should only be on for HDR content.

Well this Vizio P-series Quantum seems like a pretty great LCD TV! About $2000 in US and seems to offer similar or close to the same performance as the best out there

I will get my LG C7 calibrated at the end of the month, I hope I'll see a difference with my "it's look ok to me !"-eye calibration
It'll probably look weird until your eyes finish calibrating to the new settings.

I just changed a couple of settings on my LG B7 according to a forum post (or maybe it was a Digital Foundry video). First impression was "holy crap, that's a warm picture", but a couple of hours later it looked perfectly fine to me. The LGs, at least in game mode, are hella could out of the box. The movie-centric modes look pretty good right away though.
Judging by most reviews, most of today's higher end tvs come with relatively good factory calibration settings.

Yah, most people are not used to the 6500K white point, but you adjust very quickly. Overall though, the first time I calibrated the 10pt white balance and gamma on my tv I was floored by the results when I tested it on a movie.

This is the one I'm watching. Costco had it for $2k. Easy return policy and added warranty.
Damn, that's a hell of a price cut. It's enough of a price drop that if I had to select between a TCL 65R617 for $1000 or Vizio PQ65 for $1500, I'd probably try the Vizio.
This Saturday my parent's TCL 65R615 (BestBuy model) is going to be delivered. Even if it's not as great as that Vizio, it's replacing a 60" Rear-Projection 4:3 ancient set that needs it's tube(s) replaced, so they're going to have one hell of an upgrade in PQ regardless. The reason I opted to get it through BestBuy for them is the $20 HAUL-AWAY service that will take care of the old set that weights in at 310 pounds. They probably wouldn't notice a 50% costlier improvement in PQ, not for what they use the TV for anyways.
