Advice required: New TV & sound
Re: Advice required: New TV & sound
Hi All sorry to jump on Tony's thread again, but I took the plunge while the LG CX was at an all time low at the weekend for £1599 which if you look at the start of this thread it was at £2299, so just shows how much they reduce in time, and as the advice in this thread was very good, I thought I would throw this out there as I now have another problem, The screen is fantastic and after following advise on AV Forums set up perfectly, but as also discussed on AV Forums there is a big issue with AVR passing 2.1 and 4K at 120hz. I have a Denon AVR-x 4400h and I have connected the Xbox Series X direct to the TV on HDMI 1 and the picture is amazing and cant believe the difference, I have then connected the AVR to HDMI 2 EARC port with a certified 2.1 EARC HDMI cable, and set the TV settings up to sound output EARC, Bitstream in and Pass though, but although the sound stage is good the AVR is only displaying Dolby Digital rather than Dolby Atmos. Am I doing something wrong? or can you you not get Dolby Digital back to the AVR in this way?

With just the flick of a switch I could cut out the “hiss” between the tracks I’d recorded on the Sunday teatime chart countdown!!!

Re: Advice required: New TV & sound
Could just be a stupid cable issue. Make sure to try a different cable. Both between TV and Xbox and TV and AVR.
Go back to square one and do a factory reset on both too. Unplug from power for a min, re plug back in and try setting it up from scratch.

Re: Advice required: New TV & sound
Interesting thread, just been through all this and ordered a new TV.
I had a media setup in my "man cave" but it was getting a few years old, I had a 1080p projector with an 80 Inch screen attached to an Xbox one via an Onkyo surround sound system.
I got a new Xbox series x but the problem was to get full use from it at 4k etc I would have to get a new 4k projector, that's when they nearly had to bring me around with smelling salts when I looked at the prices of 4k projectors.
Don't get paralysis by analysis, sometimes you can research yourself into the ground and end up thinking it's better to wait.
So a new setup was required, I ended up getting a 65 inch Samsung QE65 QLED because it has HDMI 2.1 so supports 4k at 120Hz and I am blown away by the picture quality and the difference it makes to gaming, the thing is slim and weighs hardly anything, I once nearly ended up in casualty trying to shift a Sony Trintron I bought at an auction, it weighed 60kg lol.
One thing to point out, you will need a new HDMI cable if you want to get 4k at 120hz BUT one does come in with the Xbox, wish I had known that before I spent £20 on a new one
I got a good deal via AO with 0% finance with nothing to pay for 12 months giving me time to sell all my other kit to put toward the £950 cost.
If anyone is interested in buying my other kit please give me a shout.
Xbox One
Optoma HD142X 1080p 3D DLP projector
80 Inch pop up screen
Onkyo TX-NR609 Home Theatre Receiver. 7.1
Samsung Speaker System (2 front, centre channel, 2 rears & sub)

Re: Advice required: New TV & sound
Just got myself a 55” LG CX OLED for a really good price.
Picture is absolutely superb, the PS5 looks incredible.
Have it paired with the sonos playbase and 2 Sonos 1s acting as surround sound, the sound quality is truly brilliant.

Re: Advice required: New TV & sound
I’m resurrecting this thread as I’m needing a new telly, and am wondering if any of the previous posters have come across unforeseen problems with their new tv’s / soundbars?
I have decided already that I don’t want another LG as the telly I have has been a right pain, mainly down to the ‘music flow’ sound system being too flaky ( I have a sound bar and two remote speakers with a bridge) and also two of the hdmi ports are faulty (no sound)
Also the sky box has burnt its news logo onto the screen (this I note was mentioned in a previous post)
Do all OLED screens have a risk of ‘burn’ ?

Re: Advice required: New TV & sound
You may be okay watching news channels/SSN now on an OLED, provided you keep the OLED backlight low when doing so.
Shopping for a TV can be complicated, so happy to help if you need it.

Re: Advice required: New TV & sound
They use a lot of stationary elements and tickers that can cause certain pixels to degrade faster than others.
This risk is increased by heat which in turn is also made worse by running a higher OLED backsight level.
I wouldn't buy an OLED if I used news channels or SSN lots. The effect is cumulative so an every day use of these will mean you see the degradation faster than just using it once on the weekend.
OLEDs are just not suited for the same background viewing many people have got used to. A lot of people just like keeping the news on in the background in the mornings or SSN running on match days.
Re: Advice required: New TV & sound
As superdimitri says, if you watch a lot of content with static images or banners, OLED TVs can still be affected by premature aging.
The Sony X95L is the best alternative to an OLED.

Re: Advice required: New TV & sound
I did have LG OLED on my shortlist and that’s what I’m opting for. Then it was deciding on size. I quickly realised that I would need some structural work to the house to fit in a 77” or bigger. After a long debate with myself I’m going for 55”.
Re: Advice required: New TV & sound
I assume it still applies (a few years since I bought my current TV) but better to spend your budget on a smaller TV and get a better quality unit than a larger version one that likely won’t be as good (paying for size as opposed to quality).ClaretTony wrote: ↑Mon Jan 08, 2024 2:42 pmI did have LG OLED on my shortlist and that’s what I’m opting for.

You should in theory get more bang for your buck opting for a 55 as opposed to a 75.

Re: Advice required: New TV & sound
I’d have been struggling to fit anything in over 65” to be honest but I just felt 55” would be more than big enough. It will look a lot different to the 38” Panasonic plasma that I’ve been watching for almost 15 years.DCWat wrote: ↑Mon Jan 08, 2024 2:52 pmI assume it still applies (a few years since I bought my current TV) but better to spend your budget on a smaller TV and get a better quality unit than a larger version one that likely won’t be as good (paying for size as opposed to quality).

Re: Advice required: New TV & sound
My TV is 50" and I sit 2.8m away from it. I find that fine. I have it at eye level my eye in line with its centre.
I've never been interested in surround sound etc as I don't particularly watch modern films. What I use is this:
https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07 ... =UTF8&th=1
The TV sits on top of it. It works pretty well and can be set up to use with the TV remote so you only need one remote. It doesn't take headphones though.

Re: Advice required: New TV & sound
I got really fed up of my array of surround sound speakers, and bought a modern soundbar with a separate beefy subwoofer which tucks out of sight. The soundbar is very unobtrusive.
It sounds great, I don't miss the surround sound stuff.

Re: Advice required: New TV & sound
B3, C3 or G3?
Richer can be good but they can also give bad advice sometimes. Depends who you get and where you go.
With the cheaper models Hisense and TCL rule the market. Typically offer a lot more for your money.

I picked up one of these just before Christmas for the same price £999 from John Lewis with 5 years warranty - it's bloody fantastic, head and shoulders above my old 55" Sony Bravia, and we sit about 2.5m from the screen and it isn't too big. In fact I don't need my glasses to see it now !

I’m on a cheaper LG 55” OLED C3. The free soundbar has proved useful too given I was going to buy one. It’s not arriving until Thursday next week but the delivery date was my choice. Really pleased with the help & advice I got from them too.

Re: Advice required: New TV & sound
Finally I can bring my thread to an end. The new TV arrived today. Getting it set up was easy but it’s taken me an age to get the soundbar working. Not sure what I was doing wrong.
Thanks for all the advice received over the last three years.

The one I bought on your advice really has been brilliant. I’ve only had one Sony and it was the worst set I’ve ever had. I’ve gone for LG this time and 55” was big enough.

Re: Advice required: New TV & sound
The guy who fit my TV said that Sky Glass is one of the worst TVs he has ever seen.
Said that the technology is not advanced enough for this type of tv yet and the few he had installed all had problems.
The Samsung TV I got is great - no point posting the model number as it was 12 months ago and things change so quickly. But what I did was ring Richer Sounds and discussed it with them over the phone.
I’d got a couple of recommended ones to look at and had an idea of what I wanted to spend. Richer Sounds were great - they price match too and 5 year warranty.
John Lewis is also good in terms of price match, warranties and delivery and customer service is good. But they don’t really offer the up front technical advice to help you choose.

Re: Advice required: New TV & sound
I spoke with Richer Sounds having spoken to a member of this message board - can't fault them at all, they offered really good advice and were so helpful throughout the process.Big Vinny K wrote: ↑Fri Jan 19, 2024 2:34 pm
