Autumn 2023 TV Advice

[panteragstk]

C4s (the TVs, not the explosives) are on sale right now on Amazon (I'd guess they're on sale at Worst Buy as well, but I haven't checked).

55: $1,296
65: $1,496
77: $2,496
83: $3,996

The 45% discount on the 65" is the best in terms of percentages.

This is tempting.

Hmm. The C3 65" is $1300. That's a pretty good deal. I'm going to have to see what the major differences are.

EDIT. Do I really NEED 144hz support? No, but I think I'd pay the extra $200 for it. Slightly higher HDR brightness is good too.

That was I think the biggest selling point on the newer C series, the brightness.

I'll add to my earlier statement, too...

While I haven't had a lot of time to spend in front of it (which is a good thing... means I'm working, perhaps too much... (for better or worse )), it really is a noticeable change from my previous set which was also rated pretty solidly, though a step below the C series.

I thought about getting a 3 if they were still available, but what I found was that the 3s were more expensive than the 4s in most instances, if even available.

Getting the C4 was a no brainer!

Oh ya, and with my Capital One partnership rebate, not only did I get it on sale, I got an additional 16% off as a statement credit for the purchase. It just took them 2 months to apply it. *shrugs

Still, a 55" c4 for under 12?!! Ya buddy!

Well I picked up LG-55"-C4 still sitting in the box, yet to unpack it. Got a very nice price for it 500 off list + taxes. I'm gonna finally get to see what Dolby Vision looks like with inky blacks and highlights that pop!!!!

Got it up and running, 1st Impression very Impressive. I won't go into detail because this is ryanosaur thread. Out of respect to his thread, I will not add any more to it other than the one photo. but yeah I can see why he picked the LG-C4.

I honestly didn't think I would be getting a C4 when I did this.

Also, when I really dug into what was available now, I didn't find much of anything I was thinking I would buy. Even last years Sony X90L was unavailable...

Very grateful it worked out for me the way it did!

Do it!

My problem is that I was smitten by the Sony A95L when I saw one at the local Best Buy.

My rational brain is telling me (correctly) that the A95L represents a huge additional cost for a small improvement compared to a C4 or a S90C, but I can't get that "Holy cra*p, is that a good picture!" reaction to the A95L out of my head. The 77in A95L is $4,498 at Amazon right now, which is $500 less than it has been, but it's still too much for me.

Ya... your in G3/G4 territory against an A95.

But the C4 is pretty d@mn sweet!
