Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() I recently bought -> https://www.hisense-india.com/television/43a71f/ from Amazon for about 26K. https://www.amazon.in/Hisense-inches.../dp/B08BXXZ86T 43" / Dolby Vision / Dolby Atmos /Android 9. Does support HDR10, but not HDR10+. When Dolby Vision content is played from Netflix, it gives a splash screen stating DolbyVision in a corner for a few seconds. The screen resolution is said to be 4k, and I really feel it is 4k. But on Youtube, 'Stats for Nerds' the 'viewport' gives a resolution of 1280*1920, but the 'current / optimal res' is 4k. Overall, I am really happy with the price point and what the TV offers. |

I am in the same dilemma. My current TV is a dated 720p, 8 year old 42 inch Panasonic plasma, but surprisingly it's PQ is pretty good on my Fire Stick 4k. It is still going strong so I am not in an immediate hurry to upgrade, but it could die anytime since I think it has reached the end of it's life cycle. I am concerned that I will not be able to find any LED TV whose PQ I would be happy with, so I should be looking only at OLEDs. However, my living room is really bright and gets a lot of natural light, which does not justify buying an OLED. Or am I completely wrong about this? Also, where do you get a 77 inch C9 for 2.3 lakhs? I would be very interested ![]() | |

| ![]() One of the LG brand stores called me today and informed me that the 65 inches B9 OLED, sealed pack are available for 1.65L. I think this is a very good price. The C9 is a tad lower than 2L right now. |

I got the C9 close to 20% lesser than the lowest online prices. Just a pointer that if you show seriousness you can bargain a lot. Margins on high end TVs are quite a lot and the current lockdown too helped me to bargain better. I bought the TV in Jun when the lockdown was easing. | |

| ![]() I think you should go for the C9, it would cost 15-20k more at the most. |

However, I think what @nibedk had said is correct. For my use case, an LCD TV is better. I'll have to check them in-store before I come to any conclusion. Unless the OLEDs blow my mind off, I might just get the Sony X95G. | |

Overall PQ especially when watching high contrast content with lot of dark scenes is better on C9. Out of box calibration on C9 is better. But the differences are ever so minute its hardly noticeable. | |

BHPian ![]() | ![]() https://www.team-bhp.com/forum/gadge...ml#post4868941 (The TV Thread - LCD, LED etc.) I got confirmation from Sony that they will be shipping a new replacement TV in couple of days. Several phone calls and email escalations finally resulting in a positive outcome. |

One other titbit, Netflix on Firestick 4k said the title was 'DolbyVision' , but the TV did not give the 'DolbyVision' splash screen. The same title, from the TV app, gave a 'DolbyVision' splash screen. Out of the 3 possible HDMI ports, the firestick 4k was connected to the port marked HDMI1. So, the more I read about it, it was mentioned (in Sony TV forums) that the apps can be cateogrised as 'Apps' and 'Apps - Video' and only the apps categorised as 'Apps - Video' have access to 4k, and regular apps are sandboxed to run at full HD, what that means is, even though the TV can output 4k, the app is reporting that it can only do full HD. | |

BHPian ![]() | ![]() Sometime mid pandemic, i read that most streaming services were throttling content and reducing resolution to save internet bandwidth. Could it be due to that? I didnt check your initial post if you had mentioned this prior. |

Rtings rate motion and upscaling the same in both TV's. I have seen both TV's side by side and can say the Sony is better, even for the PQ. In fact Sony's are known for their upscaling and motion, and are recommended over all brands. How can they be then rated the same on rtings? ![]() The point is, no OLED (in India) is vastly superior or inferior to be dismissed. Each has pros and cons. It is upto the potential buyer to evaluate within his constraints and then make a decision with the one that suits him best. | |

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() So, I was able to finally test the resolution on netflix. The resolution started climbing from 720 to 1080 to 1440 and fianlly settled at 2160. So, the content is definitely 4k as I had suspected all along. ![]() |
