@@diegothecat2030 he was hinting he wanted more than 4k at some point hehe

Free, how?

Cody Chavarria Don’t you know that most of the TV that Linus gets is sent by the makers for free?

8K Oled should really be the endgame TV to get.

Gaming Tuff & me, i have no TV, i run everything through a humble 22” AOC pc monitor...lol...🤪

weve had the same TV for.....9 years. once 2020 finishes, we will have had the same samsung 55 inch tv for 10 years. its been great. lmao

Yeah, I ended up upgrading after 5 years. But to be honest, I may not have upgraded for 5 more years if it was not for such shitty input lag on my last TV. Now I have an LG B9, God damn it's good to be able to use a mouse and a keyboard again!

I upgrade my tv when it breaks

Every 5 years? That must be nice.

Maybe in his garage or under roof in the "game room"

not as long as the videos will make him 100x as much as they cost^^

He switches TV's as often as his underwear, that he gets from LTTStore.com

The c9 really isn't that bad now. You can pick it up for 1500 for 55 in and it is 1000% worth it. I got a 65 and its insane. But don't get the cx not worth it. 9s is the way to go just get a warranty and you will get a replacement when you get burn in

hows it like gaming on it?

Make sure to change picture quality to cinema. Details in dark scenes and areas won't lose. Check it esp with hairs and beards.

Dude, I literally understand you. My Old TV was like pretty darn old. And wanted to buy an Oled. I just bought the c9 1 month ago and damn, I love this TV so much that I just can't stop smiling at it, even thought it is turned off.

Haha I absolutely love mine as well... best thing I've ever bought. Can't wait to feed it frames with a 3090

I know how you feel, My second OLED TV is 77CX , OLED addiction.

It’s in 2 weeks... Jan 7th

He got it on sale though and it wont be that much different.

More likely got it for free for the review from lg

@@Upracefan yep, he just made an 11 minute long advertising for LG. For sure he got it for free!

reveal yes, but that doesn't mean it's going to be immediately available to purchase

Yeah was going to say, the 65 C9 is $2500 Canadian at bestbuy right now, that's less than 2k US, almost choked when I seen the 5k Canadian pricetag of a BFGD.

Got my c9 65" for 1600 USD if you know where to shop they are the best value in tv as well.

@@TJ.85 I got an off on Greentoe for $1700. Didn't take it cause I already have a B8, but I was just testing the waters.

deinelty possible on a windows machine.. i do it... have my pc output 4k to my tv, and another hdmi output on my 1080 goes to my now outdated 1080p HT reciver... disable the video signal, and just send the audio in the nvidia settings

@@shawnpepin7890 Did not know Nvidia drivers supported that, interesting. I have heard horror stories of having to mirror displays because without specific support from the drivers HDMI ports get totally disabled if they don't have a video signal assigned to them. Still, would be nicer if it were on the motherboard, so GPU agnostic, and also appeared on windows as a straight audio device.

@@ThoolooExpress very true.. it was a pain in the butt to set up, but once its done it works flawlessly.... they really shoud have an better way

Gonna be some years before we see them in the living room. Until then the 65" C9 oled is like the best you can get as far as image and features it's second to none. I'm happy with my and even glad I got it over the new CX which lost DTS support this year.

MicroLED is not even close for consumers

I was hoping the TV fell over.

Dido. 65" and 77" weight over 90lbs only 20-30lbs of which is the screen 😱

pshhhhh! only 65inch!? PEASANT!

It's the best you can do right now for sure. I've been loving mine even before Linus jumped on the bandwagon (after jumping off and then back on). I knew when he installed that BFGD he was making a mistake he'd have to rectify. But let's be real he will put in his living room whatever someone is paying to do so.

Nerd Detected thank you

Well, on my 2016 LG OLED, PC cuts it down to 36ms, which dumb people think is too much

If you set the label to PC you actually lose the ability to select ISF on that input. Makes sense now why ISF sent the input lag through the roof, the input was not tagged. But this does bring up one very important detail, since selecting game in the picture type does set the input lag to 13ms anyway. Why on earth would you ever select PC for the input, when I'm watching recorded content it would be nice to have the option of selecting ISF rather than removing the option entirely. I think I'm going to remove the PC tag on my B9 now, thanks for the awesome realization 😆

@@SpecialEDy dumb people think 36ms isnt much lmao 😂

PC mode also removes overscan.

The tv works fine and is like 6ms response time when properly setup and using G-Sync at 120hz. I've got one and it's the best display I've ever used.

The newer models are less prone.

Vanilla Street Fighter IV came out in 2008, so I'd agree that he doesnt play. Ultra released in like 2013ish.

i want this thing also

doesn't*

Rich people end up not doing what they intended in the first place at all. He's too busy making money. Video games are forgotten.

@@soullessSiIence you do know he has kids right?

I got the 55' version. Was planing on saving up until next year, but then my 1080p TV died. I was able to buy one for €1379, got lucky there. Was planning on getting it for €1200 max before my previous TV got busted, so it wasn't that much more.

If you want to see what TVs best for you then check out rtings.

1. This one actually bothers me and I'm really careful about it with my OLED. Games that have a consistent always on HUD I tend to play on my LED downstairs. I've seen a lot of forums of people who don't ever game on it, to people who say they play on it all the time. Rarely do I see actual, video game burn in on these forums (I actually can't recall an instance in which someone has posted burn-in from a specific game being played too long). Sometimes a little image retention and I've also seen posts of people who leave their menu screen up for long periods of time getting it. I think LG is pretty good with their pixel refresher. 2. So bright reflections are hard to deal with in my opinion. When my OLED was downstairs, and the windows were open, dark scenes are hard to watch. I cannot contrast this to a QLED as I haven't seen them in a bright room. I did play all of RE2 on my OLED though and it was awesome, I now have my OLED located in my office, where I have blackout curtains to transform the room into a theater though. Lastly, I can't really comment on 3, but I've watched movies on both (my dad has a QLED) and I prefer my OLED for movies (the perfect black levels are un-matched). Gaming wise though you really do have to weigh that con of running the risk of burn-in. In my honest opinion though, unless you are running them side by side, I think you'll be satisfied with the quality of either for gaming. If you are in a pretty bright room though, you really might want to consider a QLED.

1) There are a ton of burn in tests on RU-vid and you would have to set it to max brightness and let it run for weeks at a time. 4) Yes. The anti reflection coating is the best on Samsung. So if you have a living room that is always bright like a football stadium, don't get an oled. But this is the TV of my dreams. I've seen it live. There is nothing like this at the moment. Especially if all you do is Netflix, watch 4k BluRays and gaming on your TV.

I’m a heavy gamer and even my 10 year old Plasma survived extreme gaming sessions and even 900 plus hours of the same multiplayer games. I upgraded to the C9 without hesitation. LG has excellent software options to reduce the risk of burn in. There is a pixel shift feature, an option to let the AI Auto dim static images like logos or health bars and most important a pixel refresh algorithm that runs in standby after long gaming sessions. The only downside is that you have to keep it plugged in for that and can’t disconnect it to save energy. There is also a difference between burn in and image retention, and true burn in is only a problem in extreme conditions, but it is not impossible. If you want an example for such conditions head over to Rtings and watch their burn in test. LG OLEDs have the best anti glare coatings of any current TV out there, but if you game during the day in a sunlit room you will see your reflection in the TV in dark scenes. That is the price you’ll have to pay for excellent true black levels and OLEDs simply can’t match the extreme brightness of LCD displays, but if you have the money for an oled, blackout curtains shouldn’t break the bank. That said I’m running my C9 at only 50% OLED light brightness in the evening and reflections aren’t a thing even with all my lamps turned on, not even in dark scenes. The C9 doesn’t support freesync but it does offer 120 HZ VRR which works like a charm with the Xbox One X and I suppose any future HDMI 2.1 device will support VRR as well.

@@AlexysRM thanks

There are dozens of us!

yaaay

(Cheers!)

Whenever TF2 is present in any video, in any sort of way, there will ALWAYS be someone on the comments talking about it. I absolutely love this community.

@@Gonnluv we love the community, but we hate Valve. They created the game? yes. They didn't fixed problem and introduced other problems? Yes. Yesterday (after 2 years with no TF2 In my PC), I installed and, Crash 4 times in full screen, server lagging, bugs, cheaters. The community is everything.

He doesn't seem to really listen to anyone that isn't on his own personal forum. Everything outside of his reality bubble doesn't exist, so he thinks switching giant expensive TV's like this is normal now when I'm still getting hand me down TV's that are barely 1080p lol

C9 deals with micro blocking and black crush better, it has a faster operating system and the E9 has all this and a really good soundbar built in. Owned all 3 and the b9 is a bit worse, not massive amounts but a little bit worse.

The only real difference is that the B9 is using a slightly older generation processor and it gets firmware updates a bit later so certain fixes to image processing issues or enhancements end up a couple of months later on the B series compared to the C series.

The C9 is also quite a bit brighter, at 700 nits, compared to the 550 nits B9, which is situationally valuable, depending on ambient lighting conditions

@@ediw4483 Hmph, so they've artificially started gimping the B-models. Annoying. The B-models in the past were if anything brighter. =P

I actually use it as a work/play monitor and I feel heavenly..

Exactly!!! I just feel bad for all those Mormons not listening to myself and other in the comments on that last video when ehy said they were going with this cause "Linus got rid of oled for one of these!" Hahaha how'd that work out for you?

Lmfaooooo

Beukenboomer no it isn’t. I bought a 77C9 last November from Ebay for crying out loud. I was a little worried about buying it from a so called non authorized dealer. We mainly use it for gaming and watching some tv. I am coming from a 2013 Panasonic 60VT60 which also the main purpose was gaming. That tv I was careful with breaking it in and such. This tv, not so much. I do not worry about static images at all. Don’t be a🦜 .

@@MarcusAuyrelius just wait a few more months OLED will have burnins

I'm still on the LG C8, there's zero burn in.

@@rohan390 That's good to hear. I'm doing my research and reading RTings reviews and extensive testing. While OLED has improved, it's still prone to burn in, sure less, but still prone, and I can't take random anecdotal evidence from one or 2 people. But I am hopeful about this TV, I just need to see reviews that have had it a year later and is used as a gaming tv

MarcusAuyrelius yeah you havent even had it for a year yet wtf how does your story mean anything stfu stupidfuck.

Or easier yet, just use the eARC HDMI port from the TV to the receiver while leaving the PC connected directly into the TV (I doubt a receiver would play nice with VRR anyway). ...unless Linus doesn't have a receiver that supports eARC, in which case I know what his next upgrade is going to be.

Optical Out does not support TrueHD Audio

Optical doesn't give you lossless audio.

NM64 Right now thats not possible for uncompressed Audio, LG wants to update the firmware

@raknikmik Optical does in fact support lossless audio, just not for surround sound (I have no idea what audio setup Linus is using). For just plain old stereo optical can do 192KHz 24bit uncompressed LPCM. This also means that TrueHD audio does not matter if you are indeed running stereo since the source device can instead just uncrompress the audio signal on-the-fly to raw LPCM instead for your receiver.

Let us know how he responds

So no burn in yet I'm assuming?

@@jrbrawlersgaming1816 None yet (not even temporary). And I use it as a PC monitor as well, several hours a day. All the "safety" features are enabled, and I keep it at 100 nits for SDR. Hopefully it will last a while.

@@THU31 nice! Good to hear

The 55" B9 model costs about the same as a 2080Ti. ...ok yes that's still expensive, but you get my point - it's not at RTX Titan or Quadro-level pricing.

Cost is relative and is literally the least important part of a review like this. It has such varied input on people's purchasing decision.

I think the B9 is very inexpensive. Especially when you consider how many idiots out there keep buying EdgeLit TVs for 1000 bucks

You won't be disappointed, I've used a 55" LG B6 as my monitor for 3 years now.

That is utterly ridiculous unless it's only for gaming.

@@RedPMD even for gaming, its good for single player stuff but with MP its too big to focus on anything competitive

@@BigLukeyBoi I use a 42" TV for multitasking or viewing presentations for college or watching videos and 22" monitors for everything else.

@@BigLukeyBoi That all depends on your distance to the screen... A 55" screen at twice the distance of a 27" monitor will look roughly the same (while actually being more restful for your eyes assuming you're not nearsighted).

and badly

No they wont, they're on clearance until February/March. I bought my C7 in February for $1200 when the C8s were announced in January CES. You will be able to get a 55" C9 for less than $1500 if you shop around between now and march. I'm waiting for the C10 to see if it has anything worthwhile to offer to justify its higher price over the C9, otherwise i'll upgrade the C7 to a C9 and hopefully an HDMI 2.1 GPU will be available by then.

@@Malinkadinkif LG changed the panels from 10 > 12 bit color depth would make the C10 worth it in my eyes. No pun intended

C9 is talk of 2019, but we all want an 86 inch LG OLED for 2020.

I bought a 65" inch C9 during black friday for £1699....great value for such a TV

I got my C9 on black Friday and just hooked it up on xmas. Now I asked about g-sync and hdmi 2.1, but I forgot about hdmi cables... I've been looking into 2.1 cables on Amazon. It 6.5ft for $19.99 only 1 one star review and 78 five star ratings. It's blue and black wire sleeve called AUDIANO. I'm going to buy 4 or 5 of them, anyone use these or know anything about them.

Then just get a 43" 120Hz 4k monitor? Then you can actually play in 4k even and still get the 120Hz. Just that you dont get Oled, but IPS.

@@erl8882 I want good HDR which is sorely missing on PC monitors.

best buy has the 65 for 1800, just got one!

8K TVs are fool’s gold. The added detail present in an 8K image can’t be seen by the human eye at the distance most people sit from their TV. For example, the optimal sitting distance away from an 8K 65” TV is two feet which is close enough to reach out and touch. If you’re 4.3 feet or further from the screen, 8K looks just like 4K. At a typical viewing distance of 9 feet, optimal 8K viewing demands a screen between 275” and 280”. Like that’s going to happen. The technology is great, but it can’t overcome the inherent limitations of the human eye.
