    Brightness vs coating: is the LG G5 the right fix for a sunny room?

    Every time someone asks what to do about a bright living room, the answer that comes back is buy something brighter, and the LG G5 is the current poster child for that argument. The panel is the Primary RGB Tandem stack, four OLED layers rather than the usual arrangement, and by What Hi-Fi's...

    Sony's own page put a Bravia 6 OLED up early, and 83 inches is confirmed

    Someone spotted a Bravia 6 product page live on Sony's own site and posted the link before it vanishes again. The only thing it actually nails down is that there is an 83 inch model in the line. No pricing, no launch window anyone has quoted, and nothing about panel or processing that I would...

    Early flat TVs were worse than the CRTs they replaced and we bought them anyway

    What Hi-Fi turns 50 this year and ran a piece with some of its long-serving reviewers on what actually changed. John Archer's section is the one worth reading, and there is an admission in it that we have all quietly agreed to forget. The early flat sets of the late 1990s were worse than the...

    Optical out on a BRAVIA 8 II sounding worse than the old Sony it replaced

    Someone over on AVForums has a BRAVIA 8 II feeding a stereo rig over TOSLINK and reckons it sounds worse than the eighteen-year-old Sony LCD it replaced. Chain is TV, optical, DAC, Cyrus 8vs2, PMC DB1s. He has already ruled the DAC out by trying an Arcam irDAC and a Cambridge DacMagic 200M and...

    Two 65in OLEDs on a GBP 4.5k budget - one of these rooms is the wrong room

    Someone over on AVForums has just started an extension and is planning two 65in sets: one wall-mounted in a 6m x 9m open plan kitchen and living space, and a second in the old kitchen once it is stripped out, a 12ft x 12ft room that becomes a dedicated cinema. Same model in both, the LG...

    Cracked a 77in A80J flush-mounting it, with a projector already inbound

    Rough one to read. Someone cracked the screen on a 77-inch Sony A80J while trying to flush mount it, the set will not power on at all now, and the replacement decision has to happen this week because an XGIMI Titan Noir Max they backed on Kickstarter is landing at the same time. The original...

    LG Display says 480Hz lifts FPS win rate 38 percent - on 31 players, all male

    The paper is called a study on the impact of refresh rate on real-time FPS gaming performance, and the number doing the rounds is a 38% improvement in hit score at 480Hz versus 60Hz. Even 240Hz came in 28% up on 60Hz. They tested 60, 240, 360 and 480, presented in random order so players could...

    LG Display's 2-stack WOLED claims 82.5% BT.2020 - up from 76.5% with fewer layers

    This is the one to watch if you have been waiting for OLED pricing to stop being silly. LG Display has spent a decade stacking more emissive layers on - three in the mainstream panels, four in the Primary RGB Tandem stuff at the top - and the new panel goes the other way and drops to two. The...

    Hisense RGB mini LED keeps getting called an OLED rival - on what evidence?

    ZDNet refreshed their best Hisense list and the framing interested me more than the picks did. U8QG for best overall, U9N for gaming, A7 for budget. Nothing shocking there. What keeps getting repeated, in that piece and everywhere else, is that the 2026 RGB mini LED sets deliver colour and...

    Samsung S85H is the entry OLED to beat on brightness, the sound is not

    What Hi-Fi have reviewed the S85H and their short version is that it is one of the better entry-level OLEDs they have tested, mainly on brightness. They ran it through their usual peak brightness stress test with Pan, which is mastered at 4000 nits, and reckoned it burns brighter than previous...

    CNET readers voted LG best picture, but only LG owners rated LG

    CNET ran their People's Picks survey again and LG took the overall win, plus the categories for picture quality, fast-moving content and OLED/QD-OLED. The numbers behind it: 61.7 percent of readers who own an LG rated bright room daytime viewing as excellent, 65.1 percent reported inky blacks...

    LG Display named its maskless OLED process FLiPP - is this a TV thing at all?

    OLED-Info reports LG Display has settled on FLiPP as the brand name for its maskless OLED production process, with the trademark filed back in November 2025. Every time one of these production stories lands, half the forum reads it as "next year's C-series is going to be brighter", so it is...

    With the S95H shipping, is the older S95D and its matte screen the smarter buy now?

    Came across Home Cinema Choice's review of the QE65S95D, which was Samsung's 2024 QD-OLED flagship, and it made me wonder what these are going for now that S95H units are landing in people's houses. The S95D is the one with the matte anti-reflection finish, and that single decision is still the...

    The first native 1080p LCD was GBP 5,500 in 2005 - the early adopter tax never changed

    What Hi-Fi went digging through their own archives for the first time they reviewed each new TV format, and the pattern that falls out is the same one we argue about every January. The first flatscreen LCD they saw with a genuine native 1080p panel was the Sharp LC-45GD1E in 2005, at GBP 5,500...

    Putting the TV next to the window is still the setup mistake I see most

    Alastair Stevenson at What Hi-Fi has written up the thing I have been muttering about for years: people have got better at choosing a TV and are still terrible at putting it somewhere sensible. His specific complaint is the set parked directly beside a window, worst during summer, and I have...

    S95H first shipments landing - third gen QD-OLED and the NQ4 Gen3 chip

    First allocations of Samsung's 2026 flagship S95H are reaching dealers, and the headline items are a third generation QD-OLED panel and the new NQ4 AI Gen3 processor. That is about as much hard detail as anyone outside Samsung has right now, so I am going to hold off on the superlatives until...

    Panasonic's 2026 TVs ship with four different OSes - pick carefully

    The 2026 Panasonic overview is up and the thing that jumped out at me was not a panel spec, it was the operating system situation. Depending on which model you buy this year you get Google TV, Fire TV, TiVo OS, or in some markets Roku. Panasonic shut down development of its own platform, the one...
