wuzzzer 2155 Posted July 20, 2020 I've had my 70" Sharp Aquos Quattron 1080p since 2012. It's an incredible TV. I've been waiting for the right time to finally go to a 4K set. I placed an order a couple days ago for a Hisense 65H9G from Amazon. This TV is getting some incredible reviews. It's selling out everywhere. People who already have an OLED set are saying the black levels on the Hisense look almost the same. 1000 nits brightness. I found a local seller with a NIB LG 4K player for $100 that I'll be buying. Should be getting the TV Friday. I hope it lives up to its hype. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sancho Panza 4951 Posted July 20, 2020 Congratulations!!! Nice looking TV. Have a small (43”) one now. As soon as most of my home remodeling is done, I’ll buy a 75”; or perhaps, 70”. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jimjimbo 10543 Posted July 20, 2020 Purchased an LG C9 series OLED 65" a few weeks ago. Absolutely stunning. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wuzzzer 2155 Posted July 20, 2020 I really wish they offered the set in a 75" version since I wasn't too excited about going to a smaller screen. But, picture quality is very important to me so I'd rather sacrifice a little bit of size over quality. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dtel 30240 Posted July 20, 2020 I hope it looks great, and I am hoping out TV last a good while, I don't want to replace it. Have fun, should be great TV. 👍 Great price, just 5-6 years ago a HD maby not even 4k was more than twice that much. . 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JL Sargent 7509 Posted July 21, 2020 I had a Sharp Aquos too. Wasn't its fault that lightning came to visit. Good luck with the new TV. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dirtmudd 25971 Posted July 24, 2020 I've got a little black book with my poems in I've got a bag with a toothbrush and a comb in When I'm a good dog they sometimes throw me a bone in I got elastic bands keeping my shoes on Got those swollen hand blues. I got thirteen channels of shit on the T.V. to choose from I've got electric light And I've got second sight Got amazing powers of observation And that is how I know When I try to get through On the telephone to you There'll be nobody home I've got the obligatory Hendrix perm And the inevitable pinhole burns All down the front of my favourite satin shirt I've got nicotine stains on my fingers I've got a silver spoon on a chain I've got a grand piano to prop up my mortal remains I've got wild staring eyes I've got a strong urge to fly But I've got nowhere to fly to Ooh, babe, when I pick up the phone There's still nobody home I've got a pair of Gohills boots But I've got fading roots.

wuzzzer 2155 Posted July 25, 2020 Finally got time to unbox and set the TV up tonight. Luckily it survived the UPS gorillas. I'm really, really impressed by this TV. So far I've watched the 1080p Blu-ray of Star Wars IX, some random 4k YouTube videos and a couple 4k movies on a roku 4k stick. All looked fantastic. Black levels are amazing. Motion is incredibly smooth. I was holding out for an OLED set but their prices are still a lot higher than I wanted to spend. I'm going to pick up a 4k disc player this weekend. I already have about a half dozen 4k discs. I haven't done any major picture adjustments other than turning off all the picture enhancements that are usually on by default. I have a setup disc that I'll use this weekend for a more in-depth calibration. If you're in the market for a great 'budget' TV, the 55" is selling for $649 and the 65" is selling for $949. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wuzzzer 2155 Posted July 28, 2020 Brought home a Sony UBP-X700 today to go with the new TV. Watching the 4k disc of Star Wars IX in Dolby Vision. Holy cow. How much more real looking can technology get?? Anyone else have the X700? I see it also plays SACDs so that's cool. Pretty awesome player for $179.

I love my Oppo but they really charged a premium for what is much less in today's market. Congratz and enjoy! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Iteachstem 203 Posted July 28, 2020 ... now, if there was only more than a handful of stuff available in 4K! Congrats on your purchase. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
