Chigurh

It wasn't to be! I ordered (and payed for) the Q75 3 weeks ago and still hadn't heard a peep. Sent them Ebay messages (no response) and phoned a couple of times. They just kept telling me fibs like "we'll be sending it later today". This morning I asked for a refund and got confirmation within an hour from Paypal. I'm guessing they sold me something before they had the stock. This place has 4 bricks and mortar stores around Brisbane as well as their Ebay store. Hopeless customer service. Oh well, the Sony is still chugging along.

I'm using my 55 inch OLED as a PC monitor so I'm guessing I'm sitting close enough! 😁

No I haven't. The colour to me looks looks perfect so I don't wan't to mess with it. The problem I had was the effect created with motion smoothing. Thanks for your suggestion though. 😃

I have turned off "Intelligent Frame Creation" and the picture looks a lot more cinematic. Thanks for that. Of course the cost is less smooth motion. I'll have a play and try and strike a balance.

I have recently bought an OLED TV and a 4K Bluray player, both Panasonic. I'm impressed by the stunning clarity of the moving images I'm not sure it adds to my viewing pleasure. There is a certain "quality" to the image which I find un-cinematic. Perhaps it just looks too realistic. A bit like footage shot on a very good home video camera. I know I'll just have to get used to it but I'm just wondering what others think.

Giving the Node a static IP would be the first thing to try as there is no cost and it's not very difficult. I don't know which exact router you have but there is a very good unofficial manual to a Telstra router here. https://drive.google.com/file/d/19mXdm_iOUgUrVrZmERxCTN6qzr4pF0x2/view Topic 8 "Address Reservation" shows you exactly how to do it.

It's probably an inconvenient truth, but I think the culprit is your cheap and nasty Telstra router. Replacing it with something better may solve your problem. You could also try giving the Bluesound a static I.P. address. Might help.

Yes I would have preferred an OLED but unfortunately last years models have mostly sold out and they're asking around the 4K mark for 65 inch models at the moment. I have ordered the Samsung. I'm sure I'll be happy with it.

My 5 year old Sony TV is dying. I'm thinking of replacing it with a 65 inch Samsung Q75R which I could get for $3085 plus delivery. Can anyone think of anything better for around $3000?

6-8 weeks dispatch! Not really an official stockist. I'm sure anyone could source one much more quickly and probably cheaper by doing a quick Google search.

"Never" would be my guess

Instead of using paper tabs you can cut up a previous glue peeling into strips and use them instead. Works for me!

Tidal says it all really. For new users only. As an ex-user I could get 90 days for $1.99.

Picture quality aside, how do you find the user interface and also how it handles streaming services? I was considering the 65" A8F but then I read a lacklustre review online. https://www.theverge.com/2018/11/2/17970022/sony-a8f-tv-review-oled-hdr-specs-features-price

I don't know about the Da Vinci but in the brochure for the Concept MC cartridge it states that the diamond should last for 8000 hours if properly adjusted, which I thought sounded pretty good.
