Wanted to make sure I could compare with the main screens this year, to give a more balanced review.Ok @Phil Hinton . I have to say this before I read the review...Jeez you took your time ! Thought the review was lost in the matrix
Because I didn't have the A80J in at the same time, I'm actually still waiting on a sample. I have however seen a 55 and 65 G1 and 48, 55 and 65 C1. LG are quicker at getting the samples out it seems.compared to the C1 but not the 80J. mmm
This is the first time I have a tv before the review so I can compare the review. So im looking forward to reading in my lunch hour thanks PhilWanted to make sure I could compare with the main screens this year, to give a more balanced review.
This was the best move you could make.Wanted to make sure I could compare with the main screens this year, to give a more balanced review.
Great review I suspected the reason for the delay in the review was you wanted to get it right very contentious subject all great tvs but for me personally if you don't used the tv speakers I'd go for the Panasonic all catch up service's all HDR formats and £500 cheaperWanted to make sure I could compare with the main screens this year, to give a more balanced review.
Get the calibration done. Its worth it.Finally my purchase validated Seriously though - thank for the review. Purchased back in May and still enjoying considerably. Hoping to get calibrated in next few months.
Surely the answer is obvious if price isn't an issue... They are two different classes of tv.. A90J = G1. A80J = C1@Phil Hinton - Would you pick the 83inch A90J over the 83inch LG C1 (ignoring the price)?
I hear you, but reading it’s an incremental step up isn’t very persuasive either."A big step up from the AG9". It's sentences like this that draw me more towards Rtings to be honest. They rate the AG9 8.7 overall and the A90J an 8.8. Seems a little more grounded.
I didn't think we actually ever see 'big steps up' in OLED technology. If that's not the case then why on earth are so many blu ray reviews on this site still tested on a 2017 screen...(?) One would assume the difference between a 3-4 year old LG screen and the A90J would therefore be colossal. Yet that's evidently not the case...
Point is, i think hearing that a new screen is a 'big step up' is going to disappoint certain people looking to upgrade. Personally, with language like that I'd be expecting a night and day difference. Where as I'm sure it's simply 'incrementally better', like these screens invariably are year after year.
Maybe I’ve got the wrong end of the stick but from the review it sounds like there’s not much point in getting the A90J over other OLEDs. Save a big chunk of change and get the A80J if you want the XR processor benefits.
I was willing to go all out on an A90J but starting to doubt myself anyone care to convince me ?
