Wait for the 77" G3 or the 75" Sony A95L.

Got a promotional mail few days back for 85" 8K.
With Price no-bar - this can be one of the options.

Yeah, looks like very few options.
1. Sony A80K (77")
2. LG C2 (77")
3. Samsung QN 90A (75")
4. TCL C835 {75"} (...any views on this one?)

lastly, Sony X90K (75") ..last choice if at all I have to pick it.
Its for a bright living room, it will have curtains

All of these are kinda bad options:

1. A80K is really dim and honestly not impressive at all. I believe the sticker price will be over 3.5 lakhs. You’d be better off with a 65” OLED under 2 lakhs like the G2 for 1.7-1.8 or a C2 for 1.6 odd

2. C2 is basically the same as A80k, but slightly brighter and worse speakers. Again not worth it for the 77”.

3. Samsung QN90A/B/C: depends on the price. Worth a look if you can get under 3 lakhs, especially the B/C

4. C835 75” is out of stock everywhere. Also the C845 is a major upgrade + cheaper. So better wait

I’m also looking for a 75” for the living room (have a 65” QDOLED for bedroom) and honestly no good choices. I’m waiting till Diwali

There could be only 77 A95 series in oled. I think he means 75" X95L

I feel the same about A80K / C2.
Samsung can be had for approx 3 lakh, but its QN 90B.
TCL C835 is in stock for 2.3 Lakhs. I am not sure about the performance.

My only reservation about Samsung QLED is lack of Dolby Vision. I know TV specs matter and all...but when you are paying hefty money...why to miss out on an important attribute (DV) that is embraced by ace OTT platforms. Even if you buy samsung that grudge will always be there, like...I wish I had dolby vision as well.

Ah yes you're right. Samsung QD-OLED panel is also 77" only. I thought only LG panels are 77.

No, I didn't mean X95. Sony LCD TVs are overpriced for the image quality. They ask OLED money for LCD quality.

3 lakh for QN90B is borderline. I'd get it as a last resort.

TCL C835 is in stock for 2.3 Lakhs. I am not sure about the performance.

It went as low as 1.9 lakh last year on Croma: https://www.croma.com/tcl-c835-189-...tv-with-voice-assistance-2022-model-/p/255764

IMO dolby vision doesn't matter much. I'd much rather have 4 HDMI 2.1 ports and no dolby vision over 2 HDMI 2.1 ports and dolby vision.

Dolby Vision is just tone-mapping at a scene-by-scene basis while HDR10 is at entire movie level. However, this doesn't matter for TVs over 1000 nits as they don't need to tone-map almost anything.

Otherwise how is the TCL C 835?

Otherwise how is the TCL C 835?

It was reviewed well by HDTVTest last year:

It's not gonna match the QN90B though.

Got Samsung QN90B. Thanks for your inputs . Now Samsung provides 1 year warranty only. What are the long term warranty options here? Samsung or any other company ?

One year warranty is pretty good for LCDs. For a TV, 99% of failures happen in first 2-3 months of ownership.

If your TV lasts the first few months, it will last through 5-6 years easily. Extended warranty is most likely a scam. They’ll try to weasel out of it if something goes wrong anyway and reject your claim.

Extended warranty is worth it for OLEDs if burn in is covered. Else that’s pointless too.
