Any comments on the up scaling performance with madVR? Can do something close to Shield pro?

Shield pro is quite mediocre in terms of SNR. It's great compared to TVs, but MadVR NGU sharp very high preset is comparable to image upscaling algorithms like Waifu2X, which is way better than shield.
If I had to explain, the one in shield is sharp but looks artificial at times. However the one in MadVR looks very natural. I have some comparison shots with source material here. Zoom into these shots and you'll see how good MadVR is. It almost looks like the source is higher fidelity and not like a sharpening filter. It's very natural.
If shield was even close, I'd just import one. Why put 4x the money in building an HTPC when the shield is comparable!
But get 3000 series. It's a massive jump.
I did not mention U8080 because 1Lac is out of reach of most of the people.
Frame is good but overpriced for 65 inches.I mean for 1.4L i will add 5-10k and buy Sony X950G.
In My personal opinion the following options according to budget for 65 inches.
Below 80K- Toshiba U7980
Between 80-125K-Toshiba U8080
Between 125-150K-Sony X950G
Above 150K- Lg B/C OLEDs
I am not putting Samsung because they have degraded tv as you mentioned above and because of the stupid pricing of those TVs

The x950G also costs around 1.5 lakhs no? And the frame costs 1.3 lakhs. The frame has twice the contrast ratio and has design going for it. If you can add 20k, then add 20k and get the C9 over X950G.
So it's like:
For 65"
Below 90k : U7980
90k- 1.3 lakhs : U8080
1.3 - 1.5 lakhs: frame
1.5 - 1.8 lakhs : X950G
1.8+ : C9
(Not sure what B9 retails for. If it's around 1.5 lakhs, then no reason to get the 950G).
For 55":
Below 75k: U7980
75k - 90k : Frame 2020
90k - 1 lac : Q70R
1 lac - 1.1 lac : Q80R/X950G
1.1 - 1.25 lac : B9
1.25 + : C9
Note : replace C9 and B9 with CX and BX when they get cheaper / 9 series gets discontinued. It's a very minor refresh with almost zero change. No point spending more for CX over C9.
Good recommendation . but what about after sale services with that toshiba Tvs? It was a buried down company until now
Well thats the risk comes with it.Toshiba is offering 4 years warranty but we don't know the company will be operational for 4 years
.I think we dont know.we can only hope that it will give good after sales.Anyways if you are concerned about after sales then go with big 3 or go with less expensive U7980.at least risk will be less.also all the other budget tvs(vu,iffalcon,nokia etc etc) are also in the same price range.so anyways after sales will be a big issue with those brands also
Is it worth the saving on the LG B series OLED? Wouldn't it be difficult to get the colors right without professional tools etc? They are pretty horrible as is. I am looking at a 65 inch TV, and these are the options I have locally in LG
65B9 ~ 170
65CX ~ 220
65GX ~ 240
Although, I like how GX fits flush against the wall. reaching 240 feels like I am overspending
And my room has lot of sun and I do watch TV in the day as well, so sometimes I feel if HDR would come through properly in the OLEDs. I currently have a 55 inch Samsung Q60R and in the day time, it definetely is not bright enough. And peak Real scene brightness of these OLEDs are much less than that of the Q60R ( from rtings comparison ), that is what I am worried about
, may be with perfect contract and better reflections it would be fine? maybe not?Thoughts?

If you can get C9 for around 180k, better to go for that.
And HDR from B9/C9 will blow the Q60R out of the water especially if you can get light blocking curtains and make the room dark.
Look at the 2% and 10% APL tests on rtings as they are the ones generally in scenes where impact is felt as something shines through.

C9 would be a much better option in your budget. And trust me, hdr on Q60r is not even close to what C9 can show.Is it worth the saving on the LG B series OLED?

First if possible wait till diwali.You will find all the newer this year models cheaper.there is no panel difference between CX and GX.Buy GX only if you care for flush against the wall.CX will be a better choice.Is it worth the saving on the LG B series OLED?

Also on diwali you may get 3 years warranty as last year lg had it.Also better offers with banks and credit cards and may be some goodies such as sound bar etc which you may get.
Now coming to which TV if you have 2 lac budget you can get any good tv in india.If there is a lot of sunlight in your room then Check Sony X950G/H and Samsung Q90T which is way brighter than Q60R.I hope sony will launch H series by the time diwali comes.
These 2 and Lg CX will be around 1.8L +- 10k around diwali.
Dont worry about peak brightness on OLED as it work differently for HDR.The only thing you need to do is invest in dark curtains if you want to use CX to its max potential. Otherwise buy the 2 LED tv mentioned above both are good.
I think HDR would definitely be good compared to what I have. Only worried about daytime SDR. I have blocking curtains on a window directly behind the TV, so no direct sunlight on TV space now. But there is one on the right side of the TV, which I cannot put blocking curtains on, I am hoping may be it has good reflecting nature to at-least these angled sun light. My Q60R without any reflective coating and all, and real scene SDR of brightness of about 411 cd/m2 is just barely enough, and in comparison 321 cd/m2 of CX appears low ( again, maybe it has better light handling? )
Purely based on your usage if sunlight is an issue then go for sony 950H or samsung Q90T because CX will be dimmer than 321Nits once the ABL kicks in.Both can get bright.samsung is brighter but sony has other advantages.so both are good tvs.

There is no mention of the widely speculated U8080. Does it mean it is not being launched? If yes, disappointing. Again 4 years warranty if you buy between Sep 18-21.Toshiba launched U7980 .65 inch for 67000Toshiba TV Range India Pricing Revealed, Starts at Rs. 12,990
The 4K HDR TV range starts at Rs. 27,990.gadgets.ndtv.com
Why do OLEDs dont't do that much brighness in SDR, when they do much better in HDR
Seems likely so very disappointed
OMG did they mentioned this?
This is what I was talking about. I really don't trust these brands.
If warranty would only be applied for the 18-21 purchases. Every company seeks for a bump in their sales with minimal impact on their name and profits. But this is next level. They don't have faith on their product's longetivity but still want to make the bold claims like 4 year warranty. This is a trap. I will really don't appreciate these moves from any company. And it's scary to spend more than a lakh.
