Welcome to Idiot Box, your one-stop destination for reviews about TVs, soundbars, audio gear, gaming hardware and more! I started this channel in April 2023!
I Got a Qned 83SRA and i feel like i have been scammed , Geforce isn't supported in India because of which m unable to access the online Gaming portal.. i am pissed , i tried other alternatives as Blacknut but it isnt free like Nvidia Geforce.. can you help me with this? Will a VPN help?
on the PS5, go through the standard HDR settings process, but do not keep it to always on. Keep it on where applicable for HDR. On the monitor, go to display - Smart HDR - Game HDR. Input colour is RGB and sharpness is at 50. Hope this helps.
@@mr._aj4454 it’s in Rajasthan. Contact LG online and talk with one of the representatives who help in shopping. They gave me multiple coupons which brought the price down and I was able to negotiate well with Croma
Good option. But why not consider the Sony ULT as well for just a few thousand more? I have reviewed it on this channel. you can check it out here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-E-XxsNkiHnY.html
Hey Sameer great video as always. I have a different query regarding a TV purchase. I currently own a Sony Bravia from 2016 (which has served me very well) and I want to upgrade to a 4K TV. Since I will use it with my PS5, I want an HDMI 2.1 port to get that 120/40 fps experience. I researched a bit and thought that the Sony X90L would be great for it. The 65 inches is available for 1.5L. But after spending some time on Reddit I have been suggested the C3 OLED instead. What are your thoughts?
It depends on your use case and where you will place the TV in your house. the X90L has only 2 HDMI 2.1 ports of which 1 port is the eARC port incase you decide to get a soundbar in the future. The C3 on the other hand has all 4 HDMI 2.1 ports. As for the use case, if you will use the TV in a bright room, or have ambient light on (like a tube light) on in the room all the time, the go for the X90L as it will perform better in a bright room. But if you can control the lighting in the room and ensure the light does not reflect direct on the TV panel then go for the LG OLED. the colours will just pop. I think this should be the only purchase criteria for you.
Hello Your video is good. i am just looking for a headset/headphone which i can use for ms-teams , google meet, zoom calls, more than 6 hours a day. mic, audio quality should be good and should be comfortable for ears. can you please recommend a product for that regards
@@IdiotBox86 Thanks for your reply. For the past 5-6 years i am using Plantronics BT 600 , It is worn out. need to change. Just looking for comfortable, no pain in ear and clear audio quality since i work from home mostly. Let me try your suggestion. Thank you
After my new Lg qned 85 and PS5 slim. I am very happy with the output. Need to work on the heat dissipation of PS5, there were some lags while playing Detroit become human. And I also had the first ps1. Before that media and sega megadrive. Love your review.
If you will consume content in a bright room, then go for the QNED 83. If you can control the lighting in the room and the reflections on the TV, then go for the OLED. The contrast on the OLED will give you a much better experience.
@@IdiotBox86 I esolved ahaha, now working, in the settings I click something, so I can hearing the voces to people on playparty but no the game ahahah, now it's all correct, it's working!
The 88 has a slightly better processor, although that shouldn't make a world of a difference for everyday content consumption. While both Tvs support 20W of sound output, the 88 has slightly better sound reproduction. The biggest difference is in the connectivity. the 83 has 2 HDMI 2.1 ports but the 88 has all 4 HDMI 2.1 ports.
Hi @IdiotBox86 My use cases are: 1. good 4k scaling (OTT + DTH uses) 2. PS5 gaming (around 20-25% of the time) The living room is not pitch dark, and has some ambient lighting. can you please suggest which one should I choose among LG QNED83, Sony 82L, Bravia 3? Thanks!
No. Since the TV natively supports all popular streaming apps. It does not support VLC which is a bummer for me, but that's a niche use case. I would rather connect a powerful external device like the Apple TV 4K or even a gaming console for media needs. What do you think Google play offers that gives it an advantage over LG's WebOS?
Can give it a go if isn't too expensive. can always hold them accountable is something goes wrong. I personally took Croma extended warranty on a fridge I purchased.
The 82T has a native 60Hz panel while the 83 and 88T have native 120Z panels which makes a difference if you are a gamer. The 82T does not support Dolby Vision while the other 2 TVs support it. The 88T has the best LG processor among the 3. Those are some of the major differences.
Good review! Plus I wish the XM5 were foldable like the XM4. Anyhoo, would you say the sound cancellation and mic quality is at par or somewhere around XM4 levels?
Confused between Sony X82L & LG QNED83 My Requirement is: Dish TV (SD, HD Channels) So Good 4k upscaling is required OTT Consumption 4K HDR Good Brightness Good colors, Contrast Ratio, Deep blacks etc... My room is neither too bright nor too dark best picture and best colors and good blacks are my priority
Please suggest a soundbar under 30000 rs yamaha 209 or samsung 67E/XL. yamaha 209 is not available offline here o so cant test it . Kindly advice. Or any other option which has lower bass more and sound seprations and clear vocals
Low bass is a little tricky as most soundbars on a budget tend to have more bass to suit the Indian taste. I would say that the Yamaha is your best bet, but you can check out the following as well. Philips Soundbar TAB8947, Samsung Q600C, to name a few.
Man your Sony WCH-520 review video really helps me to end my CONFUSION between 520 and 720n headphones after watching that video i finally make a good decision and move forward to buy sonyCH520 headphones and man these headphones are soo good which makes me feel like they are made specially for me the COMFORT, THE SOUND, BASS,INSTRUEMENT SEPARATIONS ETC so keep going Brother One day Your content will reaches to its deserving audience....😍😊👍
While fit and comfort is a personal perference, I think you should listen to them offline to know which one you like better for sound quality. The JBL has 3.5mm but the Sony does not. This is one thing to consider.
Thats awesome. But when making these videos, ecom websites are a point of reference for me for price. It is obvious that you will get a better deal offline especially during the festive sale.
@@IdiotBox86 i said edge lit LEDs not all LEDs ... direct led backlight TVs like normal UHD and nanocell are fine whereas QNED series don't hv that except top end q90 mini led.
@@CaptainScorpio24 Done right, edge-lit LED TVs can look good too. While I understand how they are inferior to direct-lit TVs, they do have their use cases. Also, the QNED edge lit TV can outperform direct lit TVs if the direct backlighting quality and technology is older.
Would you prefer this over lgsp8a? It'll mostly be used for STB and OTT content no gaming. Voice clarity priority over bass. My roof height is 20ft so top firing speakers are practically useless.
Can I choose Samsung QLED Q70D or LG QNED88T or Sony 75XL Requirement are pretty clear Need bright TV 2. All PS5 games must run 3. Sound quality should have bass effect 4. Decent picture quality
Nice video man real ur cooking it dude but i wanted to know is there better something comparable to the 520 and in the same budget of 4500 or 5000 coz look I'm a student i want good mic some good bass good vicals good app support(optional but i kinda want it too) good connectivity like if it has aux its cherry on the top my ears r small so it won't matter much with on ear(kaan k just above not fully covering) also 30+ hrs battery type c for sure.... so is there something u can recommend me plz I really need a good steal like in jbl or something or should i go with 520 i have offline stores i can check there but i want recommendations so i can make my buying choices acc to me not by the shopkeeper hope u reply fast ALSO PLEASE MENTION THE BT VERSION PLZZ
Ok boss so I’m in the market for a soundbar setup and yes I’d like the whole package with the woofer and surround speakers as well .. however, to start with I decided to check out the Sony HT-S40R or the Sony HT - S700 rf( since that is where my budget range starts from; the upper limit is gonna majorly depend on how much value it offers as compared to the cheaper options) Having said that, at the store I was dissuaded from both these models as they aren’t truly Bluetooth capable .. and that’s a deal breaker , so obviously yes I’m looking for something truly Bluetooth .. I love the idea of Modular’s since that gives me some room in terms of budget .. now the option offers instead of the Sonys was yeh JBL 500 one you spoke about here .. and yes I sounded great as well .. but I’m looking for something more premium and definitely something futuristic proof in terms of let’s say I have a bigger room in the future ( 12x12 ft rite now). I liked the Bose setup you suggested and I like the Sony ht A5000 as well . Have no clue about how the Bose will compare to the compete Sony setup and don’t know jack shit about the Sonos(although I’ve heard that they’re a pretty big deal too) now with all the options .. I’m really confused as to what to go for .. please help me decide … I think I modular options seems alright .. I think I can afford to spend about 50k at a time for every modular component hoping I will have a commendable setup for atleast the next few years to come .. I love my cinema and would love an immersive experience. I have an lg qned 55inch tv if that matters at all. Looking forward to your response . Thanks in Advance
Hey, thanks for your comment. I think the Sonos Bea Gen 2 can be a good option for you to start. the bar alone is 50K, so I know it doesn't solve your problem of getting the subwoofer at the same time. But you can build the entire setup over a few months or years depending on your budget. However, if you can double your budget to about 1L (I know that's asking for a lot), you can check out the Samsung Q990D. It is a fantastic option: amzn.to/3Saubp2. Staying with Samsung, for around 80K, you can also check out the Q930C: amzn.to/4f3ZP1n. Both are great options. you can probably get these soundbars at a cheaper price during the festive sale or even offline. Hope the recommendations help 🙂
@@IdiotBox86 thanks a ton mate .. irrespective of whatever I go for .. I’ll be able to upgrade every component ..in a couple of months .. I just don’t wanna spend upto 1.5 on a music system setup at once .. so you’re saying the Sonos beam and the Samsung Q990D are the only options ? So nothing from Bose or Sony competes with the Sonos or Samsung that you recommended ?! What if money wasn’t an object .. what would you recommend to someone with no budget constraints?
@@TarunLeo There are a lot of options. But I was trying to narrow it down for you. As I mentioned in the video, if money is not a constraint, go for the Nakamichi dragon. Else build a custom home theatre. The beauty of the situation is that there are a lot of options to consider.
