My take on this whole miniLED hype train. MiniLED backlighting without adequate dimming zones will end up being unsatisfactory and little better than the TCL R635 (160 zones for 65" size) which is fine for $800, but of questionable value if Samsung plans to charge over $2,000.

I'm going to be very tempted this year. I said it would have to be an 88" to get me to go down from 120" projection, but the lure of brighter HDR may be too great.

I'm not sure my old eyeballs will actually be able to tell the difference between 10 bit and 12 bit colour.

I was planning to buy one of LGs OLEDs as a wall mounted replacement for a computer monitor. Now, it seems I will have to wait until more of these sets incorporate Freesync and Gsync on their sets and it becomes more affordable. It is pointless buying a set that will support only one of those standards as Samsung has chosen to do with its 2021 high end 8K sets.

I'm pretty well burned out by the planned obsolescence that these manufacturers are engaging in. TVs are not cell phones. It is getting too expensive to replace a TV every two to three years, not to mention the incredible e-waste being generated. I have been lucky in being able to recycle my old sets to family members but that avenue is pretty well exhausted and, thanks to the manufacturers, selling old TVs is a waste of time.

Correct, unless the content is optimized specifically to demonstrate this difference, it will not be noticeable for SDR content.
