"on the horizon" -- not really. microled is the supposed next big thing, but it's years out from being affordable/consumer ready.
By Smokey Go To Postkibner would if he couldAlas, they are much too large/heavy and don't support HDR.
e: thanks for the heads up on micro led
rgb oled is the next step for oled in general (i.e. the type of oled screen on phones). they had massive problems in the past with yields at large sizes, and it wasn't until lg came along and made the screens with wrgb pixels that they became what they are at the bigger sizes. i think they also have a patent on it, which is why all of the current oled screens are made by lg.
By Kibner Go To PostI will probably be getting a new TV next year, if my finances are doing well. Is there a new display tech on the horizon that is even better than OLED?Not really. As mentioned, MicroLED is years out. MiniLED has a decent shot at bridging the gap between traditional LCD TVs and self-emissive / OLEDs, but none of the big TV makers seem to be making a big push for it. I guess both LG and Samsung see a way forward with OLED, probably hoping they can get it to the inkjet printing stage, at which point it becomes much cheaper for them to produce and make those bucks.

Probably for the same reason you never see cables in ads ;)
Xiaomi dropping a 65" OLED for 12999 Yuan (1.600 € / 1.840$).
Start the price wars guys. Can't wait for BlackFriday.

By Laboured Go To PostGuess I'mma be part of the CX (65") gang come Tuesday.Congrats brother. Welcome.
I just want to be very clear that I am NOT part of the C9 gang, all of whom I consider to be below me.
Just don't think it'll matter over the lifetime of the TV, plus it comes with a number of (some pedants may argue marginal) improvements over the C9, making me the winner.
What about the other shortcomings and bugs tho. Sure, they'll get ironed out eventually, but until then ... bow before your C9 senpais.
Don't give horse the pleasure of admitting to that fact

Hello my gud dudes, if I (Laboured) wanted to put this thing through its paces, what kind of reference 4K/HDR games and movies would you recommend?
Blade Runner 2049 my dude.
Unfortunately a lot of benchmark movies are shitty like Transformers but this one has everything.

Dunkirk impressed me as well. But I'm judging more in regards of sound. Blade Runner 2049 was amazing for that as well. A remastered version of the original Blade Runner as well.
Can we discuss speakers and sound systems here (there is another thread) or will I feel the righteous fury of Reilo?
I feel like this one is more of a general thread for soundbars/surround systems build around a TV. The other is more for the audio nerds with their stereo systems and headphones.
How good are actual wireless 5.1 setups these days? Does such a thing even functionally exist in a way that's worth having it? I hate wires, is what I am saying.
By Daz Go To PostCan we discuss speakers and sound systems here (there is another thread) or will I feel the righteous fury of Reilo?You can but the Audio thread is pretty comprehensive already: https://slaent.com/thread/1283962/
But nobody is gonna stop you to discuss it in here.
By Laboured Go To PostHow good are actual wireless 5.1 setups these days? Does such a thing even functionally exist in a way that's worth having it? I hate wires, is what I am saying.
Wireless isn’t generally ever truly wireless. You still generally have to provide AC power to each speaker since there’s no amp. You got outlets super close to where you want your surrounds? If not, you’ll still need some raceway / wiremold to cover a cable. It’s easier to hide power cables for your fronts / center in furniture
So then you would benefit and have
A. An easy install
B. Less cables / easier on the eye
Someone will correct me if I’m wrong, but i woukd think unless you’re like crazy audiophile, the only difference in sound should come from the signal difference Between a 14ga copper wire and a wireless signal to the speaker. Unless you listen to lossless CD’s with a direct connection to your receiver, You're already likely streaming part of the signals
Klipsh has complete systems, but Dennon also offers receivers that can do wireless rears

We've sold the Heos AVR for some time. The only solution Denon offered with wired fronts and wireless rears. But it had two big problems. The first being that it was really hard to get it to function properly in people's house. Usually we ended up plugging in ethernet cables in the rear speakers. Or you need a massive router upgrade and hope it's not too busy on your frequency. The other problem being that it was an entry level receiver which just didn't give you a lot of speaker options. Entry level speakers would perform fine, but if you have finer taste than that the Heos AVR just won't be able to drive it properply. In theory it sounded interesting but it just didn't really work great sadly.
Horse, it will be worth it to think of a good cable management plan so you have the freedom of choice that traditional HiFi can offer.

Suspect the answer is "no", but is there any feasible way to have 4K movies on your PC and stream them (e.g. through Plex) to your TV via Chromecast Ultra? Google suggests the answer is no but maybe through Nvidia Shield.
Why can't your just get a Nvidia Shield, install Kodi, plug in a network cable and play them directly from your PC like a normal human.
Sorry Hors, can't help you with that.

You're preaching to the choir, but surely there's a way to neatly hide that one cable. Much as I love wireless for certain stuff, things you interact with like mice and keyboards, I have a natural aversion to using it for basically anything else.
I mean if you're talking about from my PC to my TV(?) then ya that's a long way. Internet is wired in near my PC which is a fair few meters from the TV.
Well, no, ideally you'd have both your PC and TV / Shield connected to your modem / router or a switch.
Boo. Looks like I'll be streaming 1080p for the time being. I've very much reached the point where I can't be fucked with physical media any more.

With the exception of a rare movie ... I’m almost there.
By Laboured Go To PostSuspect the answer is "no", but is there any feasible way to have 4K movies on your PC and stream them (e.g. through Plex) to your TV via Chromecast Ultra? Google suggests the answer is no but maybe through Nvidia Shield.Just use the Plex app and cast from within it? Or use the Plex app built into your smart TV? Is there some reason this isn't working for you?
e: the Ultra has an ethernet port built into it; smart tv's also typically have ethernet ports plugged into them
e2: ohhh, you mean the Ultra and your TV are both wireless... yeah, I don't think the Ultra supports 4k when wireless
