Televisions

>The speakers will be shit. You need some form of external sound.
>Sound bars are pretty trash for the price, ideally you get a 5.1 theatre system.
Audiophile bullshit. Included speakers are fine. You should get a soundbar though. Make sure the TV and soundbar have EARC because regular ARC sucks
>The TV will ship with excessive motion smoothing and other picture enhancement "features" switched on by default.
This is a good thing. I had to turn motion interpolation settings beyond default because I love it so much. I hate judder. Panning shots are unwatchable without smoothing.
>4K streaming has a pretty bad bitrate. Ideally you buy UHD Blu Rays (or torrent lossless rips) if you want to get the most out of the TV.
Very true. Get into 4k blurays. Or torrent the full quality demuxes.
>Most built in Smart TV UI's are pretty limited or have bad performance. You'll want a ROKU or Apple TV.
Not true. Smart TV features work fine. You don’t need a separate box, although I use Apple TV because it has a few niche apps that my TV doesn’t.
>Don't get too hung up on the size, a lot of cheaper 'big' screen TVs can have bad colours and contrast which makes it look worse than something smaller of a similar price range.
I have a Samsung flagship panel but personally I think the chinkshit walmart 70 inch panels are fine.
>LG OLED is the king of TVs and nothing else can compete.
True for everything but brightness. Only matters if your TVs location gets strong direct sunlight.
>Go into a store and look at it before you buy. Even if you end up buying it online so you can try out little things like the button layout of the remote.
Store models have their settings so fucked that you can’t tell anything. I was going to buy the LG OLED but after going to the store to compare, I bought the Samsung because it looked better.

Room is relatively dark mainly because I‘m never home before 10pm. As for audio setup, I‘m not sure what my solution is going to be, for that same reason. I think I’ll go for the comfiest pair of headphones I can find. I mean, I’m usually the first one to call the cops when the neighbors are loud at night, so it‘d be kinda hypocritical to have some movie blaring at midnight. I also haven’t had guests in my place in a solid 8 years.

Just letting you know that I didn't read this.
>What is QD?

Vizio M series is the king of price vs performance.

>What is QUANTUM DOT-OLED TECHNOLOGY BY SAMSUNG(tm)?
A meme to trick retards like you into buying their inferior panels. Not bad panels by any means, but you are just falling for marketing propaganda

>Ads in a paid product
How have you cucks accepted this? If they want to serve me ads they should atleast give me the TV free

I want to say you've confused QLED with QD-OLED. QLED was marketing wank where they had a fancy process for more accurately making the panels that in theory meant better contrast and such but in reality was hardly any better than regular LED.
QD-OLED is genuinely cool where they use the better peak brightness capability of the QD-LED layer and the OLED is used as a per-pixel backlight so that you get perfect contrast without (some of) the limitations of an OLED.

>The speakers will be shit. You need some form of external sound.
True. They lack any bass and are tinny as all fuck.
>Sound bars are pretty trash for the price, ideally you get a 5.1 theatre system.
Even bookshelf speakers beat soundbars. A simple 3.1 setup is great on a budget.
>The TV will ship with excessive motion smoothing and other picture enhancement "features" switched on by default.
Just bought a new TV after my old one was dying and holy fuck there's so much you need to turn off and it's tied per input. So you need to do it for every HDMI port you use, plus for every streaming app you use.
>4K streaming has a pretty bad bitrate. Ideally you buy UHD Blu Rays (or torrent lossless rips) if you want to get the most out of the TV.
100% facts. Pirating UHD-Remuxes is piss easy on any private tracker.
>Most built in Smart TV UI's are pretty limited or have bad performance. You'll want a ROKU or Apple TV.
They overload it and push so many apps that bog it down to a crawl. If you use a handful of them, it'll be okay.
>Don't get too hung up on the size, a lot of cheaper 'big' screen TVs can have bad colours and contrast which makes it look worse than something smaller of a similar price range.
Always have to find the price:size compromise unless you just go unlimited budget.
>LG OLED is the king of TVs and nothing else can compete.
Facts again with Samsung being a distant second.
>Go into a store and look at it before you buy. Even if you end up buying it online so you can try out little things like the button layout of the remote.
I hate buying TVs online, just because if you're unfortunate enough to get a dead pixel, it takes longer to return and exchange.

The ads on mine are just like "sign in to access your Netflix account and watch movies!" Well I don't have Netflix so I don't care. It's not animated and doesn't cover up any other content so it's easy enough to ignore.

Sirs this is 4channel the website is the advertisement.

Just fucking read you retard.

I wish. But no, there are two things which are just factually true:
1) They don't need to use the WRGB hack to get decent brightness since they can just use all W pixels for theoretically 2x brightness
2) I'm too poor to afford one so I bought a regular pleb OLED.

>I hate buying TVs online, just because if you're unfortunate enough to get a dead pixel, it takes longer to return and exchange.
Must be nice having an electronics store within reasonable driving distance. :(

>tv speakers are good.
I guess I was a bit too harsh in that post. The speakers on modern TVs (high end models like an Lg OLED) are perfectly fine for watching the news or an occasional movie. The main reason I mentioned it was because if you really want to bring the cinema experience home you’ll need something more powerful. Like some bookshelf speakers or 5.1 system. Most people turn to sound bars which imo are bad value for the performance.
>motion features are good.
I turn off all the motion enhancement stuff and don’t have any issues. I think eliminating judder is fine but cinema movies at 60fps look so weird to me. But it’s all personal preference.
>smart tv ui.
Like the speakers it’s fine for most stuff. You can watch YouTube and Netflix, the WebOS on the Lg TVs is pretty good. But new streaming services like Paramount+ usually take a while to arrive on them. Some tv manufacturers never bother to update them for new streaming services etc. Also they can have ads and shit.

Micro Center, which is a god-send. I actually feel bad for anyone that doesn't live near one, they're amazing. They also have the top-tier 83" LG OLED in stock and on display.

Haha yeah sure my fellow consumer! I sure do love Consuming the superior products Samsung offers!
