I have to buy a new TV to get the most out of the new consoles. I did a lot of research, but I can't decide. Either the Samsung Q950t, the LG C9 or the LG CX.
With the QLED Q950T, Samsung offers the last QLED with an in-house panel. Next year they will get their panels from Panasonic. I'm a fan of the QLED televisions mainly because of the brilliant and bright colors. They can also represent the black reasonably well. But let's get to gaming. As far as I know, the TV supports full HDMI 2.1 on HDMI port 4. (Please correct if I'm wrong) And only there. Unfortunately. If I want to connect a new console, I have to plug it in. The TV also doesn't support Dolby Vision or Dolby Atmos. 8K is not so ideal for gaming, but it is definitely breathtaking when you can watch a YouTube video in 8K. However, it is far too early for 8K. 65 inches is enough for me (sit close) although 8K basically requires larger televisions. The new consoles are probably limited to 4K anyway. The One Connect Box is another selling point. So you no longer have a tangle of cables. The TV looks just beautiful. The nicest television I've ever seen. Why not a Q90T? Unfortunately, all 4K TVs only offer limited HDMI 2.1 this year. The only alternative would be the Q800T.
Now to LG. OLED televisions are known for their good black levels and rich contrasts. In general, I have nothing against LG, but still fear burn-in, although there's a lot of technology in the devices for prevention. (For example, I like to play FIFA. That means static content - i.e. Higher burn-in probability). But I don't play 8 or 14 hours a day and now and then change the content. So that's still within limits.
Both LG's are great gaming TVs.
The LG C9 (2019) and CX (2020) are almost identical.
The C9 supports full bandwidth at 48 Gbps with full HDMI 2.1 and has DTS. But it doesn't have AMD FreeSync. The CX has AMD FreeSync and Black Frame Insertion but only 40 Gbps bandwidth with HDMI 2.1 and no DTS. I've heard DTS is important when you stream (e.g. Sky go) and download games digitally from time to time. HDMI 2.1 with 40 Gbps is not yet bad, but that may change in the future (I would like full support). AMD FreeSync is very important for gaming. The LG televisions support HDMI 2.1 at all inputs. So I could connect another console without having to switch. Both TVs still support Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos which e.g. The Xbox Series X supports. The CX still supports Dolby IQ. In terms of input lag and response time, the two are equal. However, I heard that LG has problems with the implemented VRR. Both the 2019 and 2020 models.
I want a future-proof 65 inch TV.
You seem to have informed yourself so well that I can't say much more about it.
Whether LCD or OLED, I would find it difficult to decide for myself. The topic of burn-in would not play a role, however, which is hardly relevant in practice. The main disadvantage of OLED is the lower maximum brightness and the ABL.
Much of what you say is also a matter of personal consideration.
An interesting video that just came out:
I've already made up my mind. For a LG CX 65 inches. Am curious. Didn't use a QLED because of only one HDMI 2.1 connection. I think I made a very good choice. Let's see if I get burn-in or not. I've also seen videos for the optimal image settings, a relatively large number of comparison videos and videos for a few hidden menu tricks and tips. The television is set up on the weekend.
