Was going to upgrade the 77" Sony in the Family room and I was deciding to either wait until the new models come out or pull the trigger on the agressive pricing out there

1) 85" Sony Bravia 9 3k is a really agressive price, but lacks the pure blacks of OLED
2) 83" LG C5 Got it down to $3050
3) Don't waste Money, its only 6 Inches (that's what she said :D) and wait for Dolby Vision 2 TVs

I have always gone Sony, curios if anyone on this site is using the C5 and their feedback.

Here's a very helpful video from Rtings about the longevity of 100 different TVs over 3 years, and I couldn't draw a single useful conclusion from it, except that OLED has serious retention issues if you use it as a monitor with a static image.
Also, check out other rtings videos and their site for reviews.

is it having any issues or are you upgrading for no reason??
I’m stuck with a 55, hdr was not included because Sony decided to leave that out of most that years models . So my 4k Blu-rays are useless until I get a new tv. When it breaks I’ll probably use my 1080p tv since jobs here pay so little and I’m looking for one. But Bravia 9 would be my choice if I replaced my tv … don’t have 2k right now .
85 is what 80% larger ?? Just how massive is one I’d have to go to the store and look.
OLED is fine if you don’t watch static images . I won’t get one.
I considered lg or Samsung also for my next tv but is Sony better??

rtings.com is usually my goto site for all things TV too.

Stick with LG and Samsung.

The Samsung OLED seems to test better than the LGs now, but I would say visually you probably wouldn't be able to tell the difference.

I am moving and was thinking about stepping to an 80'" or 85" also, but since there's nothing wrong with the current one, I might wait for Dolby Vision 2 as well.
