I'm moving and shopping for a big TV for a bonus room for football/movies/PS5. I'm looking at mid to high end TVs with 4k 120hz with HDMI 2.1, but I don't know anything about the different brands or even models within brands. Anyone have any good recommendations for a 75/85" TV? And before it gets said a hundred times, a projector won't work in the room, it needs to be a TV. If anyone would like to chime in with soundbar/audio recommendations I'd take that too.
I put a Sony A8H in the living room for uses similar to yours. I’d read that the refresh rate may be a bit slow for online gaming, but I can’t tell since I’m already used to twelve-year-olds calling me a fag when I’m on my call of duty. Lovely television, great contrast and stellar picture quality.
I have a 75" Sony X900H. It was marketed as HDMI 2.1 4K/120Hz support, but it's a little shaky. There's some blurriness people have seen when using 4K/120 when using as a PC monitor. It's less perceivable when using Ps5 in 4K/120 though. This TV is last year's model any, the current one X90J apparently fixed that issue. In general I'm pretty happy with this TV overall though. Curious, were you able to find a PS5 in store or did you have to buy it from scalpers?
Thanks for the feedback. I have been looking at the X91J Sony and it seems like a good middle ground and I can't decide if the OLED upgrade prices are worth it. I got lucky enough to grab a PS5 off Amazon a few months ago. I tried several times without success before I got one.
For audio I just got a Polk Audio Magnifi MaxSR. Bar, Wireless sub and rear speakers. Paid $498 for it. It is not going to sound like an AV receiver and separate fronts, rears, center, and subs, but it sounds pretty damn good and you can stream music through it as well. It does 4K pass through, so you can connect your video source to it and then to your TV. Has an ARC HDMI for the TV connection.
I just looked at those prices..Hory Shrit!!! I have a 72' LG the lady bought,but have no idea what she paid.
OLEDs look incredible, there's no denying it. They don't get quite as bright for that HDR pop and/or if its going to be in a bright sun filled room as some of the better QLEDs out there, but they certainly hold their own.....but you can't beat the deep blacks they can produce. And for the most part the problem of burn in has been highly reduced. But still I tend to think if you're a gamer the LED/QLED/miniLED is the route to take. But that's just me.
I can’t say enough good shit about the LG OLED TVs. I put a 65” in the bedroom and liked it so much that I had to put some in the dining area and living room too.
Not quite what was asked but if it's helpful (since a few mentions of audio setups above) ,any of you lads are looking to build a respectable Dolby Atmos entry into home theater separates I chose this route and am quite pleased with the performance/price you get..... This is normally $899, but sometimes goes on sale for $799 (for reference 1 of the tower speakers in this package alone is $699 a piece, so this is a HELLUVA deal): https://www.costco.com/klipsch-reference-dolby-atmos-surround-system.product.100665767.html Similarly these subs are $249 regular, I think I picked them up last black friday they were on sale for $149 so I got 2 of them: https://www.costco.com/klipsch-r-12sw-reference-powered-subwoofer.product.100526745.html I have a Sony STR-DN1080 powering it, but something like this would work equally well (keeping it all Costco haha) https://www.costco.com/denon-avr-s750h-7.2-channel-4k-av-receiver.product.100505535.html
