Personally I think that kickstand design is ugly as sin. Not to mention impractical. I'd much rather have a removable base like normal.

If it is a fixed angle and it always leans back, it is horrible design. The 2011 Sony TVs had this and were not well received.

 

[Goose_Se7en]

I wonder what the input lag for these new sets are gonna be. My KS9000 is a POS now 😖

 

[Crimson_Gold]

Waaaaaaaait, the Sony may not be mountable?????

Why is that?

 

[NYR]

Waaaaaaaait, the Sony may not be mountable?????

Not shocked it is fixed, if that kickstand moves, can you imagine how unstable the TV would be? Imagine a kid hitting it and knocking it over, it would be just like a photo frame, bend the kick stand forward and the photo falls over.

 

[molnizzle]

Waaaaaaaait, the Sony may not be mountable?????

To me it looks like the stand thing could fold in to be mounted on a wall...

 

[dragos495]

to all the people that expect 2000 for 55" and 3000 for 65" new bravia oleds. what are you taking? i want some...

 

[shadow2810]

Missed the Sony stream. So does the Sony OLED have any noticeable feature besides the ...eh diagonal stand?

 

[NYR]

Never mind.

 

[Tallshortman]

Waaaaaaaait, the Sony may not be mountable?????

They had a picture of it mounted so I'm assuming you can.

 

[Crimson_Gold]

This is what I was thinking as well.

 

[Night Hunter]

Prices should be revealed somewhere in February or March, right?

Press release from Sony

Includes the new X930E 55" and 65" and the 75" 940E. All will support Dolby Vision as well.

Yeah, I like my screens flat and level. Fuck angles and curves. Bad decision by Sony.

Manufacturers need to stop trying to reinvent the wheel with these goddamn stands.

 

[BumRush]

Okay, thanks for the responses guys. I didn't catch the shot of it mounted

 

[thuway]

Sony's OLED will most likely be similar to the Panasonic OLED. They essentially take an LG panel and put in superlative processing. Sony's 4K algorithms are no joke. Btw where the hell was their UHD player?

 

[CrimsonEclipse]

Likely not, according to CNET, the guts of the TV are in that stand so it likely bends toward like a photo frame.

Womp.

Personally I think that kickstand design is ugly as sin. Not to mention impractical. I'd much rather have a removable base like normal.

The Design of the front is cool, with the speaker but yes I think I would've preferred a regular stand or something...probably might give it a pass if that is the case. I maybe considering their new x9 series or LG OLED 2017 models. Also highly interested in this QLED from Samsung.

 

[Nobility]

So is there any industry consensus what HLR standard will be used for network/cable television or is it still up in the air?

Don't watch much live TV but would be good to know for future purchase decisions.

 

[NYR]

Womp.

You really think those 2 additional HDR formats will take off? It would be the only reason to buy a 2017 LG OLED over a 2016.

 

[Marmelade]

Looks like the Z9D is still top dog according to that Sony guy on the stream, even with that new OLED

You mean this one they announced briefly before moving on?

https://www.sony.com/electronics/blu-ray-disc-players/ubp-x800

 

[thuway]

So far the most promising HDR format is HDR 10 thanks to it being open source. All the other formats will probably die away.

Hmm?
They showed off the UBP-X800 player.

 

[Lexxism]

Btw, HDR game mode for B6 owners is now available.

100% agree. Dolby Vision might stick around for awhile because of name brand and support from the big names.

 

[Thebeardofknowledge]

That Sony oled comes in a 77" ? Count me the fuck in

 

[Jarnet87]

Any new sets in the 40-43 inch range worth mentioning?

 

[CrimsonEclipse]

You really think those 2 additional HDR formats will take off? It would be the only reason to buy a 2017 LG OLED over a 2016.

I think I might care more for the 25% increase in brightness than the two additional HRD formats tbh, I do think that HDR10 and Dobly Vision will be the mainland formats. That said, I may not even get an OLED if the new LCD sets are very good in producing deep enough blacks and imaging processing. Hence, why I am interested in the new sony x9 series (looking at the 940E since it will have FLAD) and the QLED's from Sammy.

Of course the decision will be mainly on price/specifications/performance.

To me it looks like the stand thing could fold in to be mounted on a wall...

If that's the case my interest will reinstated with their OLED set.

 

[Heel]

There was an ATSC 3.0 panel at CES today, but I'm not really seeing any recent details beyond "it will be finalized this Spring."

I wouldn't think any televisions would have internal ATSC 3.0 tuners until 2018 or later.

 

[Crimson_Gold]

That'll trickle out during the week. Nothing they'd announce at a press conference

Wow. Too bad PS4 Pro doesn't support Dolby Vision. :|

I really like the Sony OLED design. Looks pretty sexy to me.

 

[NYR]

I think I might care more for the 25% increase in brightness than the two additional HRD formats tbh.

I would be careful; that 25% increase was on peak brightness. On a calibrated HDR screen, it is only a 10% increase, the peak nits stat only measures peak *white* in a 2% or 10% window

 

[Yjynx]

I would be careful; that 25% increase was on peak brightness. On a calibrated HDR screen, it is only a 10% increase.

I'm willing to bet for it even less than 10%

Seems that Sony Z9D series still the best TV for HDR. I'm not confident on Sony OLED with LG panel would be bright enough.

 

[NYR]

The new LG E7; looks identical to my E6 minus the leveling base, it is bigger and lifted which means the TV isn't flat all the way - E6 still my favorite TV design.

These all look really nice aesthetically. Keeping my eye on the 55 inch X930E.

 

[The_Spaniard]

Any of the new TVs announced today from any company have 3D functionality?

 

[Crimson_Gold]

I don't believe so. I'm saddened by this

 

[spannicus]

Maybe these new sets will push the Z9Ds price down. Would be willing to cop a set for the bedroom

Do you have around $20k burning a hole in your pocket?

Hmmm, interesting...thanks for the tip. Luckily I won't be making any hasty decisions till I get to see all of these sets in person and read some reviews. I'm not against buying a good high-end lcd tv doesn't have to be OLED to tell you the truth.

 

[NYR]

Sony OLED wall mounted...

Ugh. All about that camera angle, you can tell that there is a fairly noticeable gap there caused by the stand.

I would highly recommend the 2016 LG OLEDs, they are shaping up to be iconic TVs.

 

[televator]

Sony bringing the OLED heat? Awwww yiiisssss

 

[NYR]

Any of the new TVs announced today from any company have 3D functionality?

No 3D TVs at all announced. With Sony not saying anything at their event, not a single major has 3D TVs anymore.

I saw you post this on avs. I wish someone over there would leak prices and release dates. I have money to spend dammit

Damn, that's no good. The Z9D wasn't announced today obviously, but it continues on into 2017 in Sony's lineup, and is 3D capable. Have LG dropped 3D from their OLEDs? That would be a massive shame if true, I've heard it's excellent.

Edit: I should have read the link... Damn... that's shit. I guess the writing was on the wall when it wasn't included in 4K Ultra HD Blu Ray spec.

 

[Vanillalite]

Edit: regarding Samsung's QLED:



Holy. Fucking. Shit.

DO WANT.

The hype is real.

Honestly seems like Samsung killed it out the gate.

 

[HStallion]

So not a TV but god damn at that Sony short throw 4K projector! That thing still going to be priced more than a used car?

 

[offtopic]

Btw, HDR game mode for B6 owners is now available.

Where do we see this? My B6 isn't showing it as available.

 

[CrimsonEclipse]

Will certainly give em a look! I remember seeing the C6 (I think...or maybe it was the B6?) on display at Best Buy and was blown away by picture quality. My big concern is just the brightness on the tv affecting HDR content, though most don't seem to make an issue about it.
