Pls pm your source for 4k bdmv. It's getting hard to find good quality files nowadays

X8500c is on sale at desa home theatre warehouse sale for 6k + 65 inch. That's a pretty good tv but hdr is basic not ultra hd premium compliant.

I'm not into 3d coz I feel it is feels fake most of the time and it causes fatigue. 4k with hdr is like looking out of the window. That feels more 3d rather than the old tech which is why 3d is so yesterday and manufacturers are starting to drop it.

5 Ghz usually has lesser coverage area compared to 2.4Ghz, but throughput is much better and it is rated for higher bandwidth.

How far 5ghz can reach will depend on your router but I would think that 50ft is too far based on the test results I've seen online. 20 ft radius will be more common.

I think Sony & Panasonic are using LG panels, so the panels are the same but the processing will be different. Last year the Panasonic Oled TV was rated better than LG's own Oled TVs.
I think Sony's Oled TV will be much better than LG's. LG units have a high defect rate as well.

Yup, the defect rate is worrying especially when spending such a big amount on a TV. The best is to get extended 5 year 1 to 1 exchange for such big purchases but then it adds-on about 10-15% of the cost. I guess I will be waiting it out for a few more years

Now that you pointed it out, I realize that my statement about the defect is not reasonable. But the reason I actually mentioned that is because OLED TVs defect rates seem to be much higher than the LCD TVs in general and LG being the major seller of OLED TVs inadvertently gets the blame. In a way I believe its justified because such high levels of defect shows that LG has poor QC but maybe this is more of an issue with the technology itself. Anyway, since for me this will be a very big purchase, I am really not keen to risk it with any OLED until the technology matures. But damn, its really hard to resist the temptation!

Read the same thing in Rtings about the Sony OLEDs yesterday, quite disappointing really and they are charging a premium over LG for a worse PQ. Will probably take your advice (in the other thread) to wait till 2018 and maybe get slightly cheaper prices too.

Yes, I'm glad LG didn't give up on OLEDs like Samsung did due to the difficult manufacturing process. I really hope they improve and make it more reliable. Also, it will be great if there are a couple of more manufacturers for OLED other than LG to make it more competitive.

Wow, you plan to upgrade again? That's hardcore I have much shallower pockets so I need the TV to survive for at least 5 years if not more. Did you lose much when you sold the E6?

That's good news, Sharp needs to up its game again with new owners injecting money now.

Yeah, it may take a few years to iron out the issues as HDMI 2.1 is a big upgrade from 2.0. I also hope the HDCP issues don't happen again with new protection that makes our TVs obsolete within a couple of years.

That's very nice to make a profit from it and get the latest better model

Probably due to HDMI-CEC. Other items (AVR, Box, Disc Player) are allowed to "on" & "off" the tv). Happens on my Samsung tv from time to time.

If it works well, then should leave it on otherwise just disable the power-on/off part.
I don't have this tv so I will guide you based on my experience with my Samsung tv but the menu should be more or less similar.
Go into the System settings and look for HDMI CEC / Anynet+ or something similar (Panasonic call it viera link & Sony call it bravia sync). Look for allow power-on/off and disable it (off). You should also do the same on the Android TV settings - look for the same HDMI CEC). The do the same in your player settings.

If you kept HDMI-CEC on but disable power on/off. You will be able to control volume etc but it will not prompt other devices to on or off. This should solve your issue.
If you feel adventurous and want to explore, try different settings and find out what is causing your tv to restart. You can also remove the hdmi cable of different players that you have (one at a time) to see what difference it makes. Basically you are trying to remove HDMI-CEC conflicts within your devices because there is probably 1 device which is switching on your tv because that device is still active.

In my HT setup, when I switch on the power socket, the Nvidia Shield boots up then switches on the TV and AVR. When I switch off my Nvidia Shield, it switches off my TV and AVR. And the remote/controller can control the volume of the AVR which controls all volume. When it works well, HDMI-CEC is great. But when it doesn't then it gets messy.
