CRT? As in cathode-ray tube?Thread resurrection!
Interested to know who on here is serious about their home cinema, or at least knows the different between OLED and CRT...
What kind of setups are people running?
TV, receiver, surround sound, set-top box?
and a picture!

Any good deals going about currently? My 55” Viera packed in today. I wouldn’t mind something the same size and 4K.
Currently searching for a 4K tv. It’s time. One question I have. Probably a stupid question. If the tv has Bluetooth am I safe to assume I can use my headphones to hear the sound? TIA
Nice one. So far I’m between this one and the LG CX. I only have a width of 115cm to work with so the 48 CX or the 49 Q80T are the ones I’m leaning towards.Just bought a Samsung QE5580T from John Lewis, arrives on Wednesday

I’ve had a C8 for a few years now and it’s amazing, still love it. You may become a tv snob though because most places you go now will have inferior panelsI was between these two too, the Samsung has a dimming issue if you use it for gaming which put me off - https://eu.community.samsung.com/t5...00t-q900t-hdr-game-mode/td-p/1731476/page/157
My LG CX arrives tomorrow, can't wait!
Think I've seen you post on avforums! I've seen the issues and am gonna chance it for now. If it's too obvious an issue/it happens then I'll send it back and end up with a CXI was between these two too, the Samsung has a dimming issue if you use it for gaming which put me off - https://eu.community.samsung.com/t5...00t-q900t-hdr-game-mode/td-p/1731476/page/157

There are big pass through issues even with HDMI 2.1 receivers I believe.Ooh another thing I have forgotten to consider, I have a 6 year old AV receiver that says it only does 4k @ 60hz but I can't tell what HDMI thing this corresponds to.. not sure if I need a new receiver to do HDMI 2.1 (since the Xbox and new TV will)
This is what I have atm: https://www.denon.com/en-gb/shop/avreceiver/avrx520bt
Changed my mind! Cancelled the JL order after reading through some of that Samsung forum thread, will probably order a CX once JL refund me
Looks like best course of action for now then is to just plumb the TV straight into the Xbox until the tech catches up.. it's pretty much the only thing that gets used connected to the TV anyway (aside from the Switch on occasion)There are big pass through issues even with HDMI 2.1 receivers I believe.
First HDMI 2.1 receivers reportedly have faulty HDMI 2.1 chip

You're going through the same process as me! On Monday evening I was ready to push buy on a Q80, by Tuesday morning I'd changed my mind.
The burn in OLED issues are a concern, you can buy the JL burn in warranty for £140 though. We still don't really know how good the anti-burn in tech is on the newer LG OLEDs because they are simply too new, hopefully they are ok.
If you want HDMI 2.1 I think the only option at the moment is the CX, the other TVs have too many issues (the Sony issues are a joke, blurry content @ 120fps). It's not a bad thing though, the CX is regarded as one of, if not the, best TV out.
+1 for sound bar suggestions.Looks like best course of action for now then is to just plumb the TV straight into the Xbox until the tech catches up.. it's pretty much the only thing that gets used connected to the TV anyway (aside from the Switch on occasion)
Edit: Wife is very excited with the prospect of the floorstanders being gone. Soundbar suggestions?
2.5 years and no burn in or any other issues on my LG OLED, you should be fine as long as you don’t leave stuff paused for ages or leave the Netflix logo onscreen for too long.Just ordered the CX, arrives Wednesday (hopefully) from Crampton and Moore
rtings.com is really good for reviews, they have video reviews on YouTube tooI'm looking at this one. We haven't got a massive living room and I'm not replacing any furniture so I think 50" is absolute max I can go.

This 49NANO866NA 49-inch LG 4K Ultra HD smart TV is full of powerful features, like NanoCell technology, immersive Ultra Surround sound and Filmmaker Mode.ao.com
Going to do a bit more research but this seems decent from the reviews on AO. I just want something better than my awful Samsung for when the PS5 arrives. (I regret not replacing my old LG with another LG)
Edit, just checked on JL and the reviews are scathing...
Sound any good?Well it arrived! Just in time for quali!
It’s hard to photograph, currently messing with the settings but so far I am super impressed by the Dolby vision content

Tested out the train crash scene in Super 8. It looked bloody stunning, considering it's plain old 1080p, in film maker mode it was incredible to watch. The sound didn't match the visuals 😂Sound any good?
Yes. Bluetooth headphones work with Bluetooth tv. No questions are stupid, if you don't know, please ask.Currently searching for a 4K tv. It’s time. One question I have. Probably a stupid question. If the tv has Bluetooth am I safe to assume I can use my headphones to hear the sound? TIA
