New tv recommendation
I am looking to upgrade to a new 4K tv. Looking at higher than 70 in. Looking for good ideas. I have both the PS5 and Xbox series X
Is there a better refresh rate to get with systems. Gaming mode etc?

Thorough reviews of TVs. You don't mention budget. Lot of light in room it will be? No light? Lots of factors to consider.
If you want something that can take full advantage of Xbox/PS5s 120hz to do the 120 FPS, make sure it has HDMI 2.1. I am partial to the Sony 900 series and above but they are pricy at that size.

Re: New tv recommendation
If I were buying a new TV today, it'd be an LG 77" C1 OLED. If you're interested in the gallery design, hands-free voice control, LG's new Magic Tap remote (easily pairs to a smartphone), and built-in ATSC 3.0 tuner, you might want to look at the G1 instead. The C1 and G1 both have HDMI 2.1 and can accommodate higher frame rates like the 120Hz that the Xbox Series consoles support, variable refresh rates, and auto low-latency mode (so it'll detect that you're gaming and switch to a gaming mode without you having to do anything extra).

Just to hijack the new thread are people buying online these days if so who is a safe bet aside from Amazon?

Can't beat LG OLED, but they get pricey with size.
As for buying, I got mine through Newegg a few years back.

Lots of votes for LG but I thought Samsung was where it's at, no?

It's less about brand and more about tech. OLED>>>>LED but since Samsung doesn't make OLED TVs I guess it is kind of about brand. lol.
Ah yes the big buggaboo of burn in. Way overblown issue that partially killed plasma TVs (RIP)

Looking in the 2000-2500 range if possible
it’s says these OLED are subject to burn in. Didn’t know that was a thing still

Re: New tv recommendation
But just as a caveat, even the new OLED’s and their reviews on rtings.com and CNET.com all warn of potential burn-in. Largely why I’ve stayed away from it.
And don’t forget that in 2022, there will be new tech releases like mini-LED, micro-LED, dual-cell, and probably some others. micro-LED is supposed to be just about as good as OLED, but we’ve heard stuff like that before. Of course the new tech will not be in the range of the OP’s price point for something in the 77” range.

I was looking at LGs Nanocell the other day. Supposedly sharper than LED but not quite as good as OLED. Sounded like a decent middle ground if OLED pricing scares someone off.

As others have said no it's not. Not even remotely close. And I swear the marketing people at Samsung chose Q specifically to cause confusion and because at first glance it looks like an O.

Re: New tv recommendation
The problem I have with OLED's is that they are extremely glossy. I've been shopping for a new TV & they could almost be mistaken for a mirror with the power off. If fact, it seems all new TV's are glossy to some extent. I was ecstatic when I bought my first HDTV in 2005 and it had a matte finish. I wish they would at least offer that as an option on new TV's.

Burn in is rarely a problem unless you're playing the same game every single day for months or only watching CNN or some station with a permanent logo in the same spot for months. If you're mixing it up daily (as most people do), it's really not an issue with new OLED TVs ("new" meaning any OLEDs made in the last five or six years).
