Stephen RoblesIt’s my 40th birthday month and I’ve been considering what to buy myself…leaning toward finally getting an OLED TV 🫣
Dear @siracusa and everyone else, what is the TV to get right now? 70 ish inches
John Siracusa@stephenrobles Do you have any concerns about brightness? Like, is there a lot of direct sunlight in the room and on the TV? Or is the lighting mostly under your control?
@siracusa Zero direct sunlight, lighting 100% controlled
@stephenrobles The bargain-hunter pick: Sony A95L (while supplies last!) https://amzn.to/4aYDSQ3
The aesthete pick: Sony Bravia 8 II https://amzn.to/4tVNyDA
The gamer pick: LG G5 https://amzn.to/4u6rsyl
The patient pick: wait several more months for the 2026 TVs to be released and reviewed.
@siracusa I saw stock depleting on the G5 in various places so jumped on it. Used your amazon link too, will report back!
Imthaz@stephenrobles you are going to love it!
Michael Solis@stephenrobles you got money money 💰
@stephenrobles I forgot to mention that I’m not sure if the G5 comes with a stand. (They expect most people to wall-mount it.) If you need a stand, you should double check.
@siracusa I’m wall mounting so all good!
Also got a few pairings…went with an open box updated Denon for 4K120 and HDMI 2.1
sukh@stephenrobles did you go for 77” in the end? Forgot to check the links, I would’ve mentioned the shear size advantage the G5 has over the current in stock Sonys is the immersion factor, no brainer in that regard
@InterfaceEngineer I did go 77"!
Sagar Patel@stephenrobles @siracusa Great choice, these prices are insane. https://www.lg.com/us/tvs/lg-oled77g6wua-oled-4k-tv
