I have decided on the LG C2. Beautiful color and contrast, and $1,000 less than the newer, brighter LG C3. I hear the LG G3 is the best of the lineup, but the G-series is wall mount only.
I am going to get the 5-year warranty, which I rarely do with purchase, but post Covid chip problems make everything made in the past 2 years suspect. So I have no choice but to buy the warranty this time. Watch, I won't need it.
I want a new TV that is bigger. Preferably Samsung and I really don't want a smart TV. To me a smart is not at all necessary when it doesn't have the ability to lower the background music.
I called a store today and asked it the new smart TV's have a connector in the back or something that I can connect a little device for the hearing aids to work through bluetooth. This way sound can be turned off in the room yet go directly into my hearing aids.
I also asked the salesman if the new smart TV's have a part where I can connect earbuds or a mono ear plug into it for when the hearing aids stop working or when the bluetooth stops working.
The salesman knew nothing, absolutely nothing. So I ask what the heck good is a smart TV when the not so smart TV I have now is better except it's just to small?
I watch TV in both light and dark. Scary movies are good for in the dark watching Mwaah
I didn't know they made "dumb TVs" anymore. News to me.
The knock on OLED was lack of brightness, which the x3's fix.
I don't like a bright picture.
I would rather close the blinds and dim the room so I can watch a TV that is more dim, than to crank the picture brightness up to Def Con 1. With these massive screens today, I am not sure that all of that light pounding your eyes are not harmful for eye care. I don't know, so I would rather ere on the side of caution.
A dimmer TV also extends screen life as your LED's decay slower. It costs less in energy. It adds less heat to the room in summer, of course you get less winter warming so that is sort of a push.
I always customize my TV settings dimmer. They come from the store as bright as the surface of the sun, because that is how they market TVs -- with SEARING brightness levels in the store. I always reduce the brightness of every setting, even the Vivid setting.
I gotta see your workspace, GG. 50 incher? I think I'd need to be more then a few feet away.
I'll get around to taking a picture.
My eyes are about 3ft away from the screen. It's a large workspace, not meant to be for just one window, basically to replace dual monitors.
For example, my browser window will fill about 75% of the screen. Any bigger and it becomes unmanageable. I can resize and move that to the side and open file explorer, or a 2nd browser window, or whatever. Technically you could fit 4 HD screens into a 4k screen. I rarely have a need for this. The key is the 4k resolution, everything looks sharp. I have a gaming mouse that is customizable, helps quite a bit when you have so much real estate.
Another reason I got the bigger screen is for gaming, video, movies etc. The gaming never really took off for me, don't seem to have the time. I do also have an AVR and 5.1 speakers in the room.
At work I use an LG 32". It's QHD, 2k or 2560x1440. I could have got dual monitors, prefer this.
That wasn't my question. I was asking about BRANDS, not resolution.
You didn't mention specific brands. Only mid and high range. So the answer was germaine.
I personally "think" (but with no real comparison proof in hand) lower-end brands pump up default luminance and contrast to give most viewers the impression of a 'sharper' picture.
If you are comparing a mid range QLED to a high end QLED here's the thing: it's probably NOT exactly equal. The more expensive one will probably support a higher refresh rate and have more options for tweaking and calibrating.

I get that but my question was will most people notice a difference watching 1080 programming.
