Anyone make or plan on making a big purchase with your guvment bux? I dropped $1,900 on the 4K LG C9 65". It has the option to play games at 1440p 120Hz, or 4K 60Hz, with HDMI 2.1 for the future possibility of 4K 120Hz. It is also equipped with Gsync. When it arrives I think I'm going to dust off the old Steam Link and play some PC games on a nice big OLED screen in 4K.

I'm not sure what to get. A Raspberry Pi for sure, I want to put every game up to N64 on it.
great choice user, I'm saving my money because I'm divorcing my psychotic bitch of a wife and am eventually going to have to put a downpayment on a new home once I've saved enough. I have a 55" Samsung QLED which I'll be keeping and I'm hoping dearly that the movers don't break it like they broke my last fucking tv in a move. Enjoy friend
Damn user that sucks. Good luck, I hope everything resolves quickly and you escape the clutches of that demoness
with the pi could you just run it off a usb port on the tv and play with a ps4 controller? If so I'll have to grab one too; I grabbed a steam link to do emulation streamed to my tv and was far less than impressed
Isn't the government money supposed to help with bills and other essentials? Not TV's and video games.
Yeah I guess so. It has a usb port on it, and you just install linux or something on it.
lol they also said that bout my college tuition. Now I don't have to pay it back!
What the fuck, does it lag?
Not really. The stimulus check is supposed to stimulate the economy, and serves the dual purpose of pleasing the voters. They'd actually prefer you spend that money on taxed goods and services instead.
What's Gsync? That tv doesn't sound like it's worth $1900
from what I've heard OLED lags more than other display types but you probably wouldn't even notice it. PS4 controller has so much fucking lag if that doesn't bother you then no tv will. Also OP could watch fantastic 4k blu-rays on it and enjoy unmatched video quality. I'd highly recommend the Black Hawk Down 4k blu-ray, it's one of the finest transfers ever done; Halloween (1978) has an incredible transfer too but it's not going to wow most people
Why doesn't it have displayport? Come to think of it, since it's only G-Sync compatible and not really G-Sync, how exactly is that going to work over HDMI?
21.2 ms lag? How do you play that way?
I put disc in console and play
Dude its literally the best tv for gaming
Does the CX have anything over the C9 that would make it worth it for gaming?
does the console go brr?
I bought one. It's nice. I don't play many games on it though, just because the monitor is slightly more convenient. HDMI 2.1 is a kind of a scam right now though, no graphics card has 2.1. Really wish they'd make an AV Receiver with display port.
According to rtings, it's half that, at least in Game mode with all of the shitty post processing turned off.
Get the 77 inch one I got the 65 it's the only thing I regret
Depends on how far you are sitting man
It's HDMI VRR
I saw a video with Linus where he was getting below 13ms
My girlfriend and I have been working more than ever since this shit went down. Essential life
Yeah can't do anything with 2.1 now but the PS5 will utilize it, which is the only next gen console I plan on getting since I mainly PC game anyways. I'd also be surprised if the next generation of GPUs aren't 2.1. I will get one of they're actually capable of running RTX and getting a decent FPS, but if RTX still wrecks your frames and can't be handled in 4K yet then I will wait another generation. But if you are going to throw down good money on a TV right now you may as well get 2.1 so you're ready, otherwise you are stuck for years without it or you upgrade again soon.
Red dead looks amazing on my oled. But holy shit burn in is real. Watched some show with static ui like 4 times a day for a summer and the ui got burned in. Even with commercials in between it still got burned in.
Sure I would love to have the 77" over the 65" but that's twice the price and I'm no richfag. I haven't upgraded my television in 10 years, most of my money goes into PC upgrades, so this is a big buy for me and $2,000 isn't easy money for me to drop.
meant 4 times a week
The tests they've done at Rtings.com for the B9/C9 make it seem like the burnout is very overblown. It has taken them hundreds to thousands of hours of static images to see the effects of burn in, and these tests were being done on panels from 2017 I believe, so the panels today should be even more resistant. Either way I will be careful and avoid static images, but I don't think playing a game for 5 - 8 hours in a day is going to cause UI burn in.
I don't know if they have hdmi 2.1 or not but if that's a big buy for you try looking at Samsung qled tvs. They have fantastic picture quality that's maybe just a bit beneath oled, you don't get burn in and you'd save a bunch of money if you found the quality comparable
Sounds like an oled from the early 10's. They're much better now.
Planning to save mine due to moving to a new apartment in a few months, but I might spurge afterwards and get a VR unit or start looking at parts for a new PC build if it doesn't cost as much.
I did purchase a new TV earlier in the year (Vizio 65 inch M658-G1) and might stick that one in the bedroom and do a bigger one for the living room when I move.
