Anyone getting a new TV for the PS5/XBX?

What's the difference? I thought HDMI's are all just marked up items, if it gets a signal you are only paying for the physical cable aka brand names?

The 18Gbps with HDMI 2.0 isn't enough bandwidth to do 4k at 120hz with 12bit color depth and 4:4:4 chroma all with lossless audio via eARC.

If you have a 4k TV that maxes out at 60hz and does not support eARC then a regular HDMI cable will be fine.

However if you plan on gaming at 4k 120fps with HDR and/or plan on sending Dolby True HD or DTS HD Master Audio to your A/V receiver from your TV, you'll need a HDMI cable that's rated for 48Gbps.

Thanks. I got this TV is this shit good enough for the new consoles?

And if so I still need that new HDMI too right?
 
The app came back up and I have it in my cart, but it says sold out. Do I remove it from my car door do I save it there and try to refresh at 6?
 
When you buy a PS5 or Series X they both come with a 2.1 HDMI cable. So you're fine unless you need extra cables or longer ones. But when you do need more HDMI cables its better to future proof yourself by getting the latest instead of just getting what's cheap or rated at a lower speed.

Your existing HDMI cables should work unless they are really old, but the consoles should include a reverse compatible cable in the box.

If you're happy with the image quality the TV is currently giving you, then you'll be happy with how it handles the consoles. Just make sure that you set it to game mode as that will have a huge effect on input lag.


The best TVs for gaming (arguably) are the C9 and CX from LG. They aren't cheap, but the image quality and features are hard to beat.
 
I returned that tv, 75" and I am a huge Samsung fan, I was highly dissapointed. I think the Q70 looked better.
I ended up buying a Q900 75" and even know I am questioning the picture compared to the LG Oled.



Whatever you do get an updated HDMI cable. I bought me the Q90T and couldn't hear shyt with the HDMI cables for my Sound system until I got ....................... HDMI Cable

Not arguably...best overall TVs for gaming are definitely the LG OLEDs when you factor in picture quality and the fact that all 4 HDMI ports are 2.1...just dont fall asleep with that shit on to avoid potential burn in

Samsung's QLEDs are better for super bright rooms since they can get brighter, plus no burn in worries as you mentioned. But yeah, LG is hard to beat right now.

I have the CX, it'll heavy dim the screen when a game has been idle for ~10 minutes to try to prevent burn in. I really like that. One thing that could be an issue for people is it doesn't decode DTS audio, so if someone wants to use their console as a 4k bluray player they'll need a A/V receiver that supports HDMI 2.1 to get audio and high frame rates.

Nice..I know they have a lot of anti burn in features...thats a good one...Samsung is cool but they got a lot of marketing gimmicks man...somebody has to really research a Samsung before they buy them because everything changes from year to year as far as their model placement....Q70 goes from ehhh to great last year back to ehhh this year...their best stuff is expensive and comparable in price to OLED....if you are not in a super bright room like you mentioned, its no contest....easy win for OLED
What do you think about the new Vizio OLED? 1500 for a 65 inch is market changing

So your TV doesn’t need a HDMI 2.1 slot???

I need to read up on the Vizio. I want to know what they're doing to get the price so low. $900 for a 55" OLED is crazy.

Cheapening out on parts, outdated smart system, selling the shit out of personal data....does make you wonder how cheap those cheap parts are since they are all using the standard LG panel
 
Because of what I already said.

In the case of the ads you posted, obviously one is bigger. Also, the 8000 series is Samsung's top of the line or close.

For instance, I have an 8000 series and I regularly play content from a USB without any problems. My sister and bil went cheap against my advice and now, when they want extracurricular content, I can find and d/l no problem. Stick it on a portable HD easy. Does their TV play it? Nope. 3 out of 4 extensions, or more accurately shells, aren't decoded by their TV because they decided to save a few bucks. Now we're talking about a dozen movies and even more series, some of which have 10, 15, 20 seasons. All that content and they're ass out because I ain't converting all that shit.
Now, maybe this scenario doesn't apply to you but I'd still urge the 8000 series or higher.

And I damn sure wouldn't buy it from Wally's world.
I think this is a Samsung thing because my Older Plasma LG TV played everything samsung would not lg DVD player plays everything samsung Dvd player started seeing fbi signs saying this is copyrighted

I have a 5TB External hard drive with over 2000 movies and TV shows on it. I wouldn't be actually contemplating buying a new TV but the 75" I got a few years ago has burned in images in it (Samsung UN75MU9000) and NOW Samsung increased their warranty from 1 to 3 years:angry:

I went ahead and did it. It'll be here Saturday

I'm going to try to sell it and hope no one notices

It has nothing to do with DRM.

Just let it run for about 3 days straight. Any problems should show up.
