OLED definitely looks much better, even in the showroom it was quite apparent.  My concern is whether the extra cost (atleast 50k if I'm going with lg C2) , the OLED demands are worth it considering the risk of burn in (also read that neither lg nor Sony offers warranty for burn in).

 

Wait till Diwali. C2 should be available for 1.2-1.3

You guys discussing buying C2s now and my wait for S95B or A95K launch continues. Very jealous

Unless you're going to do a lot of Tata Sky time or playing with static UI, burn in should be a non concern. Do note that OLED brightness will gradually reduce over time (some reports say around 28000 hour mark for red and green), but I've not noticed anything abnormal on my nearly 4 year old C8. Still puts most of the other TVs to shame.

28000 is a lot of hours lol. 

That's more than 3 years 2 months if the TV is on 24/7

I suppose that's 5 years with normal usage.

15 hours per day is normal? It's more like 5-6 hours for me. 

I keep my TV on 24x7.

That's your personal problem

Not a problem...yet.

[playstationdude]

Keeping TV switched on 24×7 isnt normal usage though. Even stores dont keep demo units on that long.

What about games, the hud at the corners, aren't they static as well ? 

 

Anyway, thanks for all the inputs everyone, I think I'll wait until Diwali this year, maybe C2 would reduce in price once the upcoming Samsung OLED tv comes to market, or maybe x90k would've reduced price or something.

I don't use it 24x7. It just stays on.

Or you can start a riot and loot one during the chaos.

How far should you sit from TV if you have 4K resolution 65 inch TV?

[LordSpymaster]

Its usually 2.5x the size. Rule of thumb.

This is irrespective of screen response?

Why 48? Space reasons?

yup, space restraints, plus ain't couch/bean bag type of a guy, i like it upfront, str8 in my line of vision, large screen size would push my a$$ way back, for that, i got no room...

Thanks, bought one for ₹1.42 lakhs from sonovision. Price is lower than samsung qled and comparable to c1 I didn't expect this price.

Looking for a 65 inch TV for my new home - mostly for watching sports, gaming on PS5 and youtube/netflix. Will be getting it in the upcoming prime day sale in the UK.

 

Shortlisted the below options (Take 1£ = 100rs roughly for reference)

 

Should I go with IVG's famous choice - LG C1? 

 

1) LG C1 - it is around 1399£ and comes with 1 year warranty (C2 is way expensive - 2400£ and G1 is 2100£ so I guess no point?)

2) Sony A80J - 1600£ with 5 year panel warranty including burn-in

3) Samsung Q95B - The fancy QD OLED - 2600£ Out of Budget - but can get 55 inch for 1650£ - but size would be too much of a compromise?

4) Samsung Q95A - 1299£ + Q600A soundbar for additional 70£ only
