Why would anyone play with wires. Don't you guys do dust cleaning or the dreaded diwali time and festive time cleaning? Apart from festive cleaning my place is roadside so dust piles up even if i clean it every 4-5 days.

Folks at my place might forget to do delicate cleaning which sometimes happen. If i am the one cleaning it i take care. But everyone around will take it as a normal wire and bend it in the heat of the moment of cleaning around. Samsung does state don't bend it. I don't get why they just didn't spend some more and made the cable braided.

This TV is so tempting because it's like a Q65A i say this coz the PQ is better than a Q60A and has most quality stuff from Q70A. And for a price lesser that the overcost Q60A.

If you are so worried about this, why are you even taking a chance? Just get a different TV.

Seriously this tv is great if it weren't for the headache box.

You guys are way overthinking of cable protection. I just have it lying around in the front. See



It has been like this for almost a year now. No issues at all!

If you are really worried then I would suggest you to take the wire from inside the wall and point it out where you need to. I would have gone for this route if my Carpenter guy didn't mess up. But even now, I just can't think of a way the cable could be hurt in any way.

Secondary TV is screwed. Plan is - Move the main TV (55 inch 4K, Samsung, 2014 model) as replacement.

 

Unfortunately the living room won't allow for 65 inch, so thinking of getting a new 55 inch 4K TV? Don't wanna go OLED as its too much money and I only watch football/occasional Netflix.

I play games on my monitor in my bedroom.

Guys, anyone know where I can see the Frame or LG G1 on display in and around Delhi? I have a space that'd go perfectly with a picture frame like display and want to check out the TVs in person, how well they work as gallery displays.

AFAIK the frame tv is a Flipkart exclusive

You have top TVs and game on a monitor what

You are missing amazing HDR

If budget is no issue and PQ only matters here are the picks

Sony X85J, X90J both hdmi 2.1 on 2 ports
Samsung frame 2020 or 2021 (1 hdmi 2.1 on 55 inch model above)
Panasonic's new JX850

This is so tempting. Kudos for that cutout. That gives some confidence to buy it.

Interesting thing about AU9070 it has common interface slot for IDTV (dish tv and airtel camcards). Does anyone use it? Will it free up 1 HDMI port if i use the camcard?

I already have airtel dth so this is good to have on a TV i hope all models do this in future

I only play Apex Legends at this point. Fast paced FPS game.

The picture quality and stuff isn't too relevant now, and I'm still on a PS4 Pro. So sticking to the monitor.

 

A good 4K 55 inch TV should be the move. With all the apps inbuilt, including Apple TV hopefully.

Just for occasional TV watching.

To frame owners how delicate is the one connect cable? I will be using frame tv as a table top tv as i have bad eye vision and need tv close as possible. I am looking for the 43 inch frame 2021 as for 62k with 4 hdmi ports it's really great.

This will be a family tv later on when i get a oled at a good price but that is much later in the year. And now after a hectic few months i am getting a few free hours to use a TV.

Frankly frane fits most of my requirements but recently i saw a video by be the installer where he said one connect cable is very delicate that if it breaks it's a fire hazard. This is another worry i may be able to deal with the cable but seeing how traparent it is idk if the family can keep it safe.

Do you guys have any ideas to keep the cable safe? All i can think is get a hard round 2 zip pouch and put the cable in that and get the two end out and close the zip not too much from the sides.

Seriously this tv is great if it weren't for the headache box.

I have the 50 inch Frame 2021 model , at my girlfriend's house. Nowhere have i heard the cable for the one connect box being a fire hazard,  and just to be certain i touched the cable after using it for a few hrs just now  and it hasnt heated up or anything of that sort. 

 

Also , its a delicate cable but unless someone really snags at it with extreme force or something,  i dont think its gonna break. The tv looks great on the wall , ( got the frame complimentary as an introductoy offer from Amazon )  and PQ is also quite good.

What's the best time to buy the CX? I'm planning on getting the 65 inch version, but no rush. I see them online for 2.25 lakhs or so but I've seen people here buy for less. Will be using the HDFC CC trick as well. I don't see a significant difference between CX and C1 (correct me if I'm wrong) for console gaming so should I wait a bit longer for CX prices to drop further even before any sale (if they even drop in prices, that is)?

I don't see CX price dropping by much now. Especially not online, you can try your luck offline.

But you will most probably be looking at demo units. You'll have to do your due diligence to make sure you are not being given a used unit.

 

It's the typical product cycle from LG, they call back all the remaining stock of the old product by the time July hits. And then the lowest you can get the newer model for is around Dussehra.

October it is, then.
 

I decided on CX because it's gotten very good reviews for console gaming. Is there anything else in that price range (1.5 - 1.6L) as a second option?
