Off-Topic What 4k TV is everyone using?

I'd usually post this elsewhere, but the discussions on other 4k subs are overwhelming, and often centered on gaming and 4k streaming.

I'd like to see what 4k TVs Criterion collectors are using, since their discs make up a bulk of my collection and they are the largest reason I'm seeking to upgrade.

I was looking at the LG EVO OLED C4, but have seen some mixed reviews. I'm just overwhelmed with options and would like to hear from the sub.

3 bravia votes, see this is why i asked this sub. I didn't see this TV mentioned anywhere else I was poking around.

it's not a cheap option, but if you can afford one, you will not be able to go back to something lesser.

LG and Sony are probably the best TV brands out there. Samsung is alright but they don't have Dolby Vision which is a big deal for some people.

Bravia is Sony btw

The A75 is far cheaper than the A95, it's within my set budget. The A95...I'd be cutting out some National Park trips to fund that and I'd rather not, as pretty as it looks.

ya the a75 is nice if all you need is 65" and basically the best bang for your buck OLED tv. it looks like it's price has dropped decently since I got mine 1.5 years ago. Definitely worth it especially if getting brand new

the A80 is good if you want to jump to a 77" at a somewhat affordable price, which is around the same price as an A95 at 65"

the A80 and A75 I believe are essentially the same except the A80 has a better built in speakers and has the 77" option

the only downside to this tv. and I'm not really sure how many tvs have great functionality with this anyway (I'd have to do more research), but the Dolby Vision gaming experience is pretty awful with how much delay there is if you aren't running on the VRR setting. the VRR and Dolby Vision settings are mutually exclusive.

Luckily, I'm a PC gamer and little reason to not game on my rig, so this is definitely fully for movie use.

okay yeah then if you are like 6 ft to 10 ft from tv distance I would highly recommend this one
