Would be nice as monitor
My gigabyte Aorus 48” OLED got burn in, refunded thankfully, but need to fine alternate..
Excellent price op
This or the TCL 65” C755?
If you need size. TCL.
If you need deep blacks. ThisPersonally, after having an OLED. I can't do anything else. I can't look at dark/black scenes and see grey or halos.
I’ve noticed some movies were mastered to have grey blacks
Yes, for aesthetic reasons. But that does not make OLED less appealing. You’ll see exactly the grey blacks they intended for you, rather than having your TV panel messing up with it.
Coming from a 8 year old LG LCD I don’t think the blacks will be an issue. I am worried about the viewing angle though. Our lounge is in an L shape.
OLED viewing angles are very good. At least compared to most LCDs (depends on the technology)
@theguyrules: Leaning towards the QLED because it’s cheaper / bigger now. So I’ll have to see. Reviews don’t seem to give a clear answer.
@internet-stranger: If you are referring to viewing angles with regard to not finding a clear answer, OLED is unambiguously the best you can get - even the best LCD panels don't really come close. RTINGS link for more info if needed, click through score distribution and you can see that all the top models are OLED and click through to individual reviews to compare the viewing angle videos for each one.
@itscyanide: So a QLED won’t be worse than an old LCD panel? That’s all I’m worried about.
Worst case I can return it and pay the extra for a OLED.
Only reason I didn’t get a OLED to start was our loungeroom has large windows and it very light, and I’ve heard OLEDs struggle in bright environments.@internet-stranger: QLED is just saying it's an LED LCD TV with a quantum dot phosphorous layer, what actually impacts viewing angles is the LCD panel type. VA will have better contrast but worse viewing angles, IPS will have worse contrast but better viewing angles. OLED will absolutely kill ANY QLED/LED/LCD tv for both viewing angles and low light contrast
@internet-stranger: QLED should definitely be an improvement on an older LCD - as @Anthropomorphised said it's literally just that - an added layer that improves colour, contrast, and brightness to some extent. (Same kinda thing can be done with OLEDs fwiw, giving you QD-OLED.)
If your lounge is super bright and you're worried about OLED for daytime use, maybe a Mini-LED like the TCL C755 from this deal would be a good option, excellent value that one too.
@itscyanide: Thanks for all the info :)
I think I’ll go the TLC C755 good reviews and good prices ATM.
Now to see how big I can go….
@internet-stranger: There're basically only 2 types of TVs — LCD and OLED. Anything that's not OLED is LCD — QLED, QNED, etc are just marketing terms ("QLED should be close to OLED?")
@theo96: Yea. So if my existing LCD is fine for viewing angle then a new LCD (QLED) will also be fine.
My two big issues are light and viewing angle.@internet-stranger: For anyone who finds this in the future.
The viewing angle of the QLED is fine. 170o and still very watchable unless there are lots of deep blacks.
OLED was nearly unusable in the bright lounge room :(
B4 vs C4?
The LG C4 OLED is better than the LG B4 OLED for the most part. The C4 has better reflection handling and slightly better SDR peak brightness, so it handles a bit more glare in a bright room, and it has better low-quality content smoothing. The C4 also gets brighter in HDR in most picture modes, making highlights pop more in HDR content. However, the two TVs have very similar HDR brightness while using the Game Optimizer picture mode.
Thank you for posting this deal.
It's a great TV, I purchased it late last year for $1,600 and have been regularly checking for a price drop to take advantage of the price protection feature on my CC.
I wish a 48” was this price…
