NeoGaf OLED owners thread

That would have to be one hell of a bright room. Like an operating room or literally sitting in a gazebo outdoors.

I use a QD-OLED (Sony A95K) in a room with two windows and patio doors. I don't even have drapes, just curtains that block maybe half the light. I usually only close the curtains directly behind me.
But that's a TV

TVs have better panels than monitors. Monitors are not as good at dealing with lights

I want to upgrade fom my IPS 4K monitor, but still don't know what type of panel to go with.

Is it normal that my LG C1 image gets noticeably darker when I activate 120hz and VRR on my PS5 Pro? My TV is Calman calibrated and the input is set to PC mode for full chroma 4:4:4.

If the Pro is like the standard model, it'll be sending 12-Bit YUV 4:2:2 (or 4:4:2) when 4K at 120Hz. It only uses RGB/4:4:4 for 60Hz. Probably just a chroma mismatch at 120Hz

it's not normal.
c1 in game optimizer mode, PC input label, 60 and 120hz should be identical.
Full chroma is only at 60hz output on ps5. 120hz is 422 but it doesn't change colors.
Maybe some wonky update? I've not updated my c1 in 2 years

I've had the same issue with OG PS5 since I bought my TV 2021...

Edit: Hmm, seems I'm not the only one:

My C1 seems the same regardless of mode, but I don't have a PS5 pro. Just a PS5 and some other consoles. I just set up an Xbox Series X on it today and noticed no change whatsoever when I switch between 60 and 120hz.

Maybe it's the PC input? I have mine using the normal console input.
 
Yeah was going to pick up the s90d or s95d but with that price I picked up the s90c last Saturday. Been a nice tv so far. Not a fan of the OS but I have a fire cube attached to it.

For that price it's really a no brainer, the S90C it`s a great TV still. Meanwhile in my country the S90C is barely cheaper than the S90D.

Question about my Sony A95K....

A while ago I was told that it's not recommended to fully plug off the Sony A95K for a long time, in my case that could be a full night or a bit longer. Why though? I mean if I were to go on vacation for a week or longer I sure as hell would plug it all off.

You should ask the person who told you this. It is not true.

The only thing you should avoid is unplugging or cutting the main power immediately after using. OLED TVs run maintenance on the panel, usually within a few minutes after using for an extended period of time (4 hours is common). If you frequently cut the main power after using, your panel life will be shortened.

I would only recommend fully cutting the power if the TV has been turned off overnight. You can then leave it unpowered as long as you like.

Ah yes, then I will just keep it like it is now. I really don't want any bad shit to happen and certainly not shorten the panel life. If I was gonna do this it actually would be right after I have used it and I'm about to sleep or leave the house for a few hours. I was planning on connecting the power cable to a power strip (where my consoles, soundbar are connected as well) and then just turn it all off with one button. But I'll leave it as it is.

Why? A TV is not going to burn down your house. Turn off your water mains and the kitchen appliances and that's pretty much it.

I always recommend cutting power connection for electronics when not in use for extended periods due to lightning/brownouts/power surges.

OLEDs make cycles of self repair while off. Please don’t unplug them from the power. Also, to prevent damage in your electronics (TVs, consoles, PCs…) always plug them to a socket with protection against power surges.

Anyone have the Alienware AW2725DF? Any thoughts?

There's a sale in the UK, still a bit too expensive for me, and there's also a used one for a really good price that I'm looking at.

If I were to leave the house for like a week I absolutely would power it all off.

Yeah, my TV power cable goes right into the wall, not into the power strip. My Xbox, Switch and soundbar do go into the strip.

How is motion interpolation on Samsung OLEDs if you set it at 1/10? For movies I mean. Is there any stutter or visible motion "speed" changes from scene to scene? I wonder how does it compare to LG's Cinematic Movement when set to minimum.

Just got S90D and so far so good, I can confirm 1/10 or 2/10 works well for movies. Miles better than unusable motion interpolation on Panasonic HZ1000 I tried some time ago.

Uniformity is not perfect, there's some mild vertical banding visible in challenging very dark scenes but from what I'm reading and seeing on avsforum it's normal and my set is average or maybe even a bit above average. 2nd and 3rd gen QD-OLED panels aren't as clean as 1st gen was.
Just don't expect to get a perfect panel from Samsung but consistency seems to be still much better than WOLED based on mine and others experience.

One thing I feel Samsung is not praised about enough is amazing native gradation. It's on par with Sony, something LG still can't get right after so many years.
