    Mistake #1 i can agree on. Will try to get a 65" if i can get the X90 on the next sale. Mistake #2 i can see as well. 8k is just not there yet. Mistake #3 i have to disagree somewhat. You may not need it for much, but it's still better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it. Mistake #4 Yeah the thing with TVs with thousands of Hz refresh rate sounds very fishy indeed. Mistake #5 I did this unfortunately. The TV i have now is the Samsung 58MU6199 and when i bought it i asked specifically for HDR10 support which this model doesn't have. Mistake #6 I learnd to love OLED with my PSVita, so i know how beautiful the screen is. Also never had issues with burn-in with it. The only reason i hesitate to buy one is the price.

    I'm less than a week with this wonderful channel, but using it I already managed to choose a 4k TV for my mom some days ago and went with 1-5 points mentioned: she wanted Samsung QE43Q60T, and at first I managed to convince her on larger size (since she has to watch SD broadcast, perceived upscaling must bew good) and then to spend more on 120Hz (since she is sensitive to motion). 8k and hdmi 2.1 are not for her anyway. HDR point required watching lots of your vids, and OLED was a no go since she watches TV in a bright room. I ended up choosing Sony KD-49XH9505 and am yet to regret anything.

    I've had an image at least that big for over 10 years with a Panasonic projector (#PTAX200) - it could go wider but my bedroom is too small. It's only 720p but still gave a great image, but it's old now, so it's not worth buying a new £200 lamp. Once you go big you can never go back. I'm unsure if projectors are still the best way to go for a big image on a budget - probably if you want to go even bigger, but a 4k resolution projector would be over £1k.

    Here in Brazil today TVs are really expensive. I have been using a high quality 1080p plasma panel for 6 years at least. Amazing image quality still today, with no issue with burn in at all. I totally agree with you about this. Sure, many years ago with plasma panels burn in was more a thing. If I would buy a TV today I agree 100% with you. Very nice content!

    I’ve had a LG B6 for about 3 years now. I vary my content so wasn’t worried about burn-in. My mistake was turning on high contrast (yellow with no background) captions. Even though they moved they ended up burning in pretty much the entire area that they occupied. I noticed it about 6 months ago and turned them off and the shadow is still there. It’s not terrible and I’ll definitely buy another OLED but just wanted to share for anyone that likes their bright captions! Great video as always, Vincent

    @@jimchain7200 Hdr has nothing to do with overall picture brightness! It's just the range between dark areas and the bright ones like specular highlights who usually don't stay that long in frame, are mostly small and usually move too if it's not something static! Its also has a wider colour space if remember correctly but iam not 100% sure on that right now... That's why the tv turns on full power when it detects a hdr picture to let the bright highlights really pop and the user should not lower any settings which would just reduce the hdr effect!

    I recently decided to get a X Box Series X console and shortly after, I also decided to upgrade to a 4k tv. I quickly realized that technology had changed a lot in the last 10 years (I got my current tv in 2010), so I needed to get informed in order to make a good choice given my budget and wants. I surfed the internet and watched a number of KZread videos to learn as much as I could. I started my information gathering in early November 2020 and found that I was watching your channel more than others. The last video I watched is this one ( the mistakes to avoid). I truly like both your professionalism and your common sense approach in reviewing equipment as well as in providing advice to consumers. I finally ordered the Sony XBR A9G, which will be delivered in the first few days of December. I got it at Best Buy and got the extended service plan that does indeed cover « burn-in » should it occur. I will also get the tv calibrated by a Best Buy Geeksquad professional calibrator in January. I still have not got the X Box Series X but I hope that I can get one within a month or two. I wish to thank you for the content that you are putting on KZread, which was extremely helpful in making my purchase decision and in understanding what I can expect from the console and the display.

    About HDMI 2.1 I just want to note a couple of things for gamers out there: 1) HDMI 2.0 only supports 4K 60Hz with 8 bit RGB color. If you want to game using 10 bit color you need HDMI 2.1 And don't even try using 10bit 4:2:2 over HDMI 2.0 because it looks like absolute garbage. 2) HDMI 2.1 at 40Gbps is sufficient to play at 4K 120Hz with 10 bit color RGB. So while it's upsetting TV manufacturers don't implement full bandwidth and try to deceive costumers into thinking they are getting the full 48Gbps chances are the limitation wont affect you in practice should you decide to buy a TV with gimped HDMI 2.1 in the near future. (Also note 48Gbps wont really make a difference in practice until we start seeing 12bit color TVs reaching 1-2000nits and beyond at a consumer level, so you don't really need to stress about it for now.)

    You don't need HDMI 2.1 for to get 10 bit though. There are lots of HDMI 2.0 10 bit panels since 2.0 supports chroma 4:4:4 and 10 bit color coding and it looks just fine. 2.1 goes up to 12 bit though but there aren't many 12 bit tv panels.

There are million of phones now that record 8k like S20 and 2 years from now every new phone will be shooting 8k. There are also many other cameras that shoot 8k like Canon R5 and there is even a video card for gamers that can play 8k on some level. This is where the money in the technology is. If he talks movies and tv then he should know that those are losing money and they are still stuck at 2k and maybe stuck there forever . Also the premium of 8k is negligable but the difference in pixels over 4k is enormous (25 megapixels)

Hearing that Samsung isn't going to adopt QD-OLED was a huge disappointment for me, I tend to prefer Samsung image processing (Game Motion Plus does a fantastic job interpolating 60hz content with low latency, since 8K is limited to 60hz right now Samsung is basically my only choice, though I might take LG because of their G-Sync support, except there's basically no way LG is going to buy QD-OLED from Samsung (Aaargh!))

    There are two things I'd like to add, HDMI 2.1 is needed for fully supported Dolby Atmos, also you are thinking of 2020, most people would like to keep their TV for 3-10+ years, and in this time, Hdmi 2.1 will be implemented more and more, so it is still a good argument, when you buy a new TV. But on the rest, I'm with you.

    Not true. Only if you like to connect your Blu-ray player to your TV instead of AVR. Many 4K players even have two outputs. One for video and one for audio which can be sent to the AVR. So you have three ways to connect it: 1. TV with sound via eARC 2. Receiver 3. Video to TV and sound to receiver Also many HDMI 2.0 TVs have eARC so this feature doesn’t even require a 2.1 chipset.

    I agree with Vincent because even for console gamers I don’t think you really need hdmi 2.1 unless playing competitive games that actually reach further than 60 FPS. Unless you have a 3080 or 3090 graphics card. Allm is pointless really because it just saves you a few clicks. Earc is actually useful because it eliminates the lag between tv sound and sound bar so you can use both at the same time. 4k 120 and vrr for those competitive games. So it’s only for a small percent of people that really need hdmi 2.1. It has to be someone who games on next gen console or a graphics card and play competitive games and have the actual budget of having the next platform and tv. Edit: Also get this man a Gal Gadot he deserves it.

I think I'll wait to see what the CXI (C11) has and if it improves on the negative feedback they've got from the CX based on it's firmware and missing apps. At this rate I'll be waiting so long that micro LED's will replace OLED as the new gold standard.
