The Deuce: Which one did you get?

I am considering getting a massive TV. Like 90”+. What do I need to know? - Carl Spackler October 17, 2025, 8:15:39

OLED's best feature is great contrast and black levels - jdl October 17, 2025, 12:50:59
- which ones are best for a bright room?* - VIV October 17, 2025, 15:13:24
  - LED/LCD * - jdl October 17, 2025, 15:22:30
    - how about QLED and/or Neo QLED? - IlliniSax05 October 17, 2025, 15:50:57
      - They're all LED/LCD based - jdl October 17, 2025, 15:54:42
        
        Got it. Thanks - IlliniSax05 October 17, 2025, 15:58:19
    - any brands in particular you like?* - VIV October 17, 2025, 15:24:09
      - Haven't really kept up on recent reviews - jdl October 17, 2025, 15:52:37
- jdl, do you think the tipping point for OLED brightness is “must be dark” or - memyselfandillini October 17, 2025, 14:20:13
  - They are still fine, just better when it's darker - jdl October 17, 2025, 15:21:56
  - They’re not incapable of being in a room with light. Just won’t get as bright as LED * - MC October 17, 2025, 14:25:21
    - gotcha. I’m gonna try my new OLED in the lighter room - memyselfandillini October 17, 2025, 14:27:30
- This is helpful. That feels like it may not be worth the additional costs. - Carl Spackler October 17, 2025, 13:03:49
  - It looks like the Bravia 98 mini LED is $4500 and so is the 98 TCL mini LED - meanjeans October 17, 2025, 13:12:52
    - What’s the benefit of these over other non-OLEDs sub $2K?* - Carl Spackler October 17, 2025, 13:24:58
      - Sub $2K TVs are going to be traditional side-lit LEDs, maybe with local dimming. - meanjeans October 17, 2025, 14:35:44
Don't forget the audio component - jfinsocal October 17, 2025, 12:32:38
Penis getting smaller? - timmer October 17, 2025, 11:57:41
- BAM! Average length penis!* - VIV October 17, 2025, 15:32:10
  - high five ! * - osklister October 17, 2025, 16:11:42
IIRC with that screen size you’ll want something strong in image processing - MC October 17, 2025, 11:55:06
I put a 98” TCL in my living room. ~15 feet viewing distance to couch, plus you can see it from the - meanjeans October 17, 2025, 11:38:37
I just put an 85" Samsung 4k in the conference room at work. It was less than $1000. - Illiniphil October 17, 2025, 10:09:54
Get a transparent OLED. A 77" LG is listed for $59K. Probably go down for Black Friday. - ibdoc October 17, 2025, 9:38:55
Definitely wait for Black Friday sales. I’ve been very happy with my OLED TVs (Sony and LG) - ATL October 17, 2025, 9:32:08
- We just bought an LG C5 OLED, which I think is the midrange. The 83” is down to - memyselfandillini October 17, 2025, 11:22:06
- How big are your OLED TVs?* - Carl Spackler October 17, 2025, 10:08:39
  - Small. 65” and 50”.* - ATL October 17, 2025, 11:50:20
Have you considered a projector rather than a TV? - IlliniSax05 October 17, 2025, 9:18:39
- Have not. We don’t have a great place to put the projector. - Carl Spackler October 17, 2025, 10:04:24
  - The newest projectors are UST - ultra short throw - jdl October 17, 2025, 12:52:43
    - That’s what I have, but I figure with 3 little kids it’s probably not a great idea - IlliniSax05 October 17, 2025, 12:56:59
      - Which one did you get? - jdl October 17, 2025, 13:00:29
  - Fair enough. Unfortunately I can be of no help to you in your quest - IlliniSax05 October 17, 2025, 12:44:02
if i can add on/ask...what is your viewing distance for that? we have a new room i need to outfit - lcubed October 17, 2025, 8:45:51
- About 15 feet* - Carl Spackler October 17, 2025, 9:59:29
- For 75 inches, 8-9 feet is good. That's how far my tv is.* - bucktownillini October 17, 2025, 9:25:34
  - Yeah I always follow the "tv size that's half the viewing distance" rule - IlliniSax05 October 17, 2025, 9:29:32
    - I had an idea. What if he got a smaller screen and sat closer?* - complainant October 17, 2025, 12:48:20
