Are OLED TVs still facing burn in issues? I've been thinking of getting the LG CX series too, but I remember that OLED burn in was a huge deterring factor when I was doing homework for my TV purchase 5 years back.

Best DK price of $2649 is what we pay correct? The $300 vouchers can use to offset for the TV or can only use for next purchase ?

LG CX 55” after discount.
Subtotal S$3,697.00
Discount -S$948.00
7% GST S$179.84
ORDER TOTAL INCL. TAX S$2,749.00

Same price as Besk Denki. But Best Denki will be having Black Friday sale , price will be $2649.
Both Courts and Best Denki have $300 voucher and a wireless earphone. Delivery & Installation included.

Carousell pricing $2288 lowest price but better check if include Delivery & Installation.

Btw, below is the change log for latest firmware version, should be solving some of the issue as reported there.

"Version 20.02-02.26.00

This system software update improves system performance.

An issue where installed disc versions of games were sometimes deleted was resolved.

An issue that prevented the PS5 wireless controller from being charged while in rest mode when connected to the PS5's front side USB Type-A port using the USB cable included with some PS5 consoles was resolved.

Version 20.02-02.25.00

This system software update improves system performance.

An issue where users couldn't download games because only the "Queued for Download" or "View Details" option was displayed was resolved. If you encounter this issue, update the system software to the latest version, and then try starting your PS5 in safe mode to rebuild the database.

Its kinda odd that this thread has now kinda change its chatter to TV. But I too am considering also, so I'll chime in :)

However, my consideration points are
1. For gaming (1st) since its in my study room
2. Occasional Netflix/Apple TV

Thus, must haves
- Size: 55' 4K
- HDMI 2.1
- Variable Refresh Rate
- eARC
- 4k/120hz
- Around budget $1k (not gonna spend on OLED as I assume true blacks are good mainly for movies)

Kinda narrowed down to 2 choices on Carousell really
1. TCL QLED 55R635 ($950)
- 1 year warranty by parallel importer
- ROKU OS, not sure if it works in SG despite ROKU having one of the best OS with all apps

2. Samsung QLED 55Q70T ($1,200)
- 3 years warranty
- Tizen OS, with all apps supported

Will prob wait for the Samsung QLED Q70T to drop price further then go in for it.

Just measured my desk and 55" is a little too large.

48" will most likely be just nice, but there seems to be a dearth of TVs (with good specs, mind you) available in Singapore :(

The general rule of thumb is 55" and above for premium tvs in our local market.

general rule of thumb is 65 inch for a hdb living room if u gonna use as a tv ( not a monitor) :s13:

55 inch really too small for a 4k tv.

yea i know, but im gonna use it more as a large monitor for my PC / PS5.

I.e. desk use, not console.

The larger gaming monitors are just not worth the money imo.

Just curious why is it too small since most hdb are also not very big unless one is staying in a much bigger home, otherwise I thought 55 inch is more than enough.

haha my house is configured alittle differently.

The sofa / hall is only for reading and listening, strictly no TV there. on the other end of the hall is my media storage / PC, which is where i plan to place the PS5 and monitor ( hence the need for something slightly a little smaller ).

Also depends on the distance between your sofa and the tv, if the distance is 2m or below, 55” can do I think 🤔

Not sure if this has been shared here before. I find it quite informative but then it was posted on 8 Oct 2020, hope it is still relevant.
