Hi Guys,
I was hoping to get some thoughts and honest onions, we have a 65" LG CX on order but I'm really having second thoughts. Part of me would rather wait to see what next year brings but the main HDMI port on our 2016 Vizio M series stopped working a few months ago and I'm just ready for something new. Plus we're getting a good deal on the CX and I'm not sure I want to wait for next year's TVs to be at a reasonable price.
My main concern is with brightness and ABL. From what I've read the CX can't sustain bright scenes at even half of what my now 5 year old Vizio can do. I already don't think our TV is bright enough so I feel like I will be instantly disappointed with the OLED.
I also use the TV with a PC quite a bit, surfing the web tends to have a lot of white. If the TV dims down every time I open a webpage that is all white that will just drive me nuts. Same is true for games, there's many games that are quite bright and I don't want them to be dim and grey.
Everyone raves about OLED being the best but I've seen quite a few people call out the ABL on these. Is it really a big problem? AIs the TV going to constantly change brightness and bright games will look terrible?
Another concern I have is with the built of these. They are needlessly thin and we have our TV mounted on a down and out mount over a fireplace which gets moved up and down sever times a day. Will the TV be able to take that or is it too flimsy?
I still have a week or two to decide if I'm going to keep the TV before it comes in but I'm already having buyers remorse. The problem is there is just nothing else on the market right now that I feel is worth buying.
I would really appreciate any thoughts you guys may have.
