Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
How many HDMI ports do you realistically need in a TV mate ?

I didn't even think of that possibility. I guess some people just have a lot of time on their hands.

Not really. Sony tvs are always top notch. They won the tv shootout last year with the a95k. You also pay for them compared to other brands.

Who’s buying this that has more devices than 2 that can use those but doesn’t have a receiver?

Your wallet will thank you. Every year that goes by the prices should drop nicely as QD OLED is still a new technology.god damnit. Another year without upgrading to OLED then.

Because they still don't have their own SoC unfortunately.

One of those ports are for eARC, so if you have a receiver or other device connected to that one, you only have a single HDMI 2.1 port available. You need realistically 3 available ports. One for PC, XSX and PS5 each, plus the one for eARC. My LG OLED B9, a several years old TV, has 4x HDMI 2.1 full bandwidth ports. It's 2023, you would expect Sony to get rid of the mediatek garbage level chip and have their own SoC by now.

Perhaps.
Perhaps the switch from LG making your panels to Samsung making your panels will be what gets them over the top.

Since when is android one of the worst?

Since it’s inception. It’s absolutely awful. It’s so slow. The webos on Lg runs circles around it.
It’s laggy, to enable the sleep timer you literally have to close out what your watching if I recall correctly. And no my tv wasn’t some cheap it was the best Sony you could get at the time

I stopped caring about tech a few years ago, when I bought my 65" 4k OLED.
Anyone care to explain to me, in kids terms, why these tv's are better? Cheers.

What? I have a C1 with webos and a Sony A80K and it definitely doesn't run circles over android, they are both very similar. I also have a Sony X85J and it's fine too.

Yup, I only had A80J for a week but Android seemed to be nice and responsive. I remember main complaint in the past was poor performance but newest SOCs handle it much better.
- A95L should offer much higher brightness than any OLED released so far (though the newest LG's panels might be even brighter, also coming this year)
- QD-OLED panels offer better saturation though in reality the difference is usually only noticeable in the brightest highlights like some bright fire, colorful lights etc.
- QD-OLED is RGB, LG's panels are WRGB. White subpixel on LG's panels tends to overshoot a lot when going from off to on state which creates noticeable artifacts (can be often mistaken for color banding) in very dark scenes during some specific color transitions. It used to be a lot more noticeable on pre 2020 models, newer models use some software "tricks" to hide it as much as possible but the issue still can't be fully eradicated.
- overshoot issue listed above is also the reason why flickering on LG panels can be a bit more noticeable in dark areas in games with VRR engaged compared to QD-OLED
Sorry the last 2 aren't really explained in kids terms but it's hard to explain those things without showing some examples IRL. Oh, and last but not least QD-OLED panels so far have much better reputation when it comes to uniformity, especially color tinting seems to be virtually non existent, vertical banding can still be a thing more or less noticeable depending on a unit.

Lot of people (especially technophiles that buy these high end TV's and follow specs) have all the current gen consoles, a gaming PC, and usually the best streaming box as well.

Yeah, I can see that. I game mostly on a monitor so 2 HDMI for my 2 active consoles are sufficient for my personal needs, with the consoles paired with headphones.

What ? No man, maybe the First years of android TV yes, nowadays though it's preeeetty good and responsive.
Also, WebOS is the biggest pile of shit I've ever encountered on a TV - and I have a LG C2...
In fact, the mediocre Philips 8887 (2022 model) that I had for 2 weeks back in November and had android, ran circles around WebOS 6.

Why the hate?
I know is dumb AF but YouTube is the one responsible for this as they are the ones training the algorithm that gives more clicks if the thumbnail is some retarded face + some highlighted text.

Like someone mentioned above, one port goes to receiver thanks to eArc, so you need 3 more for 4 total (PC, XSX, PS5).

The LG C3 needs competition this year, but not with 2 ports of HDMI 2.1, come the fuck on, Sony. Ditch that mediatek garbage.

I just want to know one thing. Is the image in motion remotely similar to what we get in a good CRT TV?
Mister Wolf

They are brighter. Traditional OLED is too dim.

With low framerate content (ie movies) - no. I'm hoping additional power of Pentonic 1000 will bring some noticeable improvement in motion interpolation but considering that Sony didn't even mention it we shouldn't expect anything revolutionary.

I believe Sony has LG panels in their OLED TVs, so I guess it all comes down to the features each one has?
I personally love Sony TVs and this year they have amazing TV models.

Sony now uses Samsung panels in the QD-OLED tvs. LG uses different OLED technology.
Last edited:
Yeah, I know all that. But at this point it's not acceptable. Do LG and/or Samsung sell their chipsets?
dotnotbot

Doesn't seem like it because no one else use them. If I'm not mistaken they're only designed by them and manufactured by some other company.

If I hadn't been binge watching Archer I'd also think this was supposed to be racist,either way don't disrespect Vincent.
Looks like Halo Wars 2
