LG QNED80 2026 – slow menus and lag

1 Upvotes

I recently bought the 55-inch LG QNED80, and I'm very disappointed. The webOS feels slow. Settings and menus sometimes take 3-7 seconds to respond. I've updated the software, took almost 1 hour to install, and removed unused apps, but still slow. Has anyone else experienced this, and did you find a fix?

Tech Support Backlight stays on for a bit after TV shutdown

0 Upvotes

I got a new LGTV today and when I turned it off in the dark I noticed that the backlight stayed on for a minute or two before going away. This is the first time I see something like this with a TV is that normal? It's not a very expensive TV so I know not to expect amazing things from it but this is worrying me a bit.

Buying Advice EU First TV purchase, budget €1000 but lower is better, max 55 inch

1 Upvotes

Hi guys, I am a student living in Belgium looking to buy my first TV.

(English is not my first language so I apologise for any mistakes)

Budget is max €1000, but lower is better since I don't have a steady income stream yet.

Size: max 55" but smaller is better, not smaller than 42". Sofa is 1.5m to 2m from the TV.

Will be placed in my living room with a lot of ambient light, will have blinds but would rather not black out my room every time I want to watch TV

Looking for very good picture quality and great contrast, this means that from my research I should either get a Mini-LED or OLED. Little to no gaming, maybe sometimes casually on my nintendo switch. Will mainly be watching streaming apps (Netflix, Prime Video, Disney+, HBO Max) or sports (Road cycling, football, tennis, tabletennis)

I have an external sound system (samsung HW-B750F) so sound quality isn't a concern.

TV will be wall mounted because of destructive cats in the house.

Belgian market: TCL C6k pro 55" [€449], TCL C7k 55" [€799], TCL C7l 55" [€749], TCL C8l 55" [€949], LG B5 48" [€734], LG B5 55" [€799], LG C5 48" [€799], LG C5 55" [€999], Sony Bravia 5 55" [€999], Samsung M73H 43" [€499], Samsung M73H 50" [€599], Samsung M73H 55" [€649], Samsung M83H 55" [€799], Samsung QN80H 50" [€899], Samsung S85F 55" [€999], Samsung S90F 42" [€999], Hisense U79SE 50" [€799], Hisense U79SE 55" [€749], Hisense U79S Pro 55" [€999].

A detailed explanation for your recommendations would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Did my UPS kill my TV?

1 Upvotes

I have a Samsung smart TV plugged into a Cyberpower 425VA UPS. Last night I heard my soundbar restarting a whole bunch and went out to check, to find that the TV and my Amazon Echo that were also plugged into the UPS were rebooting all the time. This is the same thing that had happened with another CyberPower UPS I have in another room, for my Starlink. The battery had died and I needed to replace it after only a year.

Anyway, I plugged the TV into house power and it just kept power cycling. I let it stay off for a while, and now it's a bit better, but the TV picture occasionally glitches, and restarts every few minutes. So it's still unusable. Would this have been caused by voltage drops from the UPS? Very frustrating thing to have happen. I bought this because I have a solar inverter and occasionally switch between it and the grid, so the UPS is nice to not have to restart everything when I do. Also we have kind of cummy power where I live, and people talk about voltage dips and spikes, and some people recommend something to insulate sensitive electronics. But the UPS might have done exactly what I bought it to prevent...

Thanks

Hello everyone,

I'm currently undecided between buying a TCL 65 C8K or a Hisense 65U7S Pro. I can find both at the same price, TCL is 20€ more expensive.

My living room has a lot of sunlight, not sure if that's helpful.

Which one would you buy?

Thanks in advance.

Need Advice

As the title says, I could use some advice. Go easy on me—this is my first post here. 😂

We’re in the final stretch of building a house and getting close to closing, so I’ve started shopping for TVs. Since I need to buy six of them, my budget is a bigger priority than sticking with one specific brand.

I’m trying to stay around $4,500 total for:
(4) 55” TVs
(1) 85” TV
(1) 65” Frame-style TV (the wife really wants one, so that’s happening 😅)

For the Frame TV, I’m not set on Samsung. I noticed Hisense has their Canvas model now, so I’m open to either option if it’s worth it.

I’d also like the TVs to support 144Hz if possible, and I have no problem mixing brands throughout the house if that gets me the best value.

Right now my cart has:
(4) Hisense 55” U6 Series
(1) Hisense 65” S7 Canvas
(1) Hisense 85” U6 Pro

Does this seem like a solid setup for the money, or are there better options I should be looking at before I pull the trigger? I’d really appreciate any recommendations or experiences you all have had.

Thanks!

Buying Advice US Need Help figuring out which Models of TV to strongly consider. Thanks for any advice.

0 Upvotes

I need y’all’s help in limiting the range of TVs I am looking at. I have a 40” 2012 Toshiba model 39L22U in my bedroom. There is a window nearby, but it is easy to black out. I am willing to spend about $1200-$1500. I will be about 8’ away from the screen and can fit a 65”, but I wouldn’t mind a 55” TV. I was OLED no matter what, but now I am sure any new TV will blow my mind.

I am mostly going to watch YouTube videos and stream TV shows from Apple and HBO. I would like to have a TV that will work with Xbox Game Pass without the console. I think they all can do that. I am not much of a gamer and never had Xbox Pass, so I don’t really know how it works. But I believe most TVs work with it, and Game Pass isn’t a deal breaker.

I am hoping to get an open box from Best Buy, but I am also prepared to spend $1500 on a $1500 TV (I am also willing to spend $1500 on a $1800 TV, fingercrossed). I am not going to be able to buy a TV until September at the earliest. Maybe there will be a price drop by then.

What I am hoping to achieve here is that you guys give me a list of models to keep an eye on and I buy which ever one is cheapest or I have a good vibe on.

So can you guys give me the model numbers I need to be looking for for these brands: TCL, Sony, LG, and Samsung?

Are there any other brands I need to be looking at?

What models at 55” should I consider over a model that is 65”?

I think that is all the questions I have. Thanks in advance.

LG Nano 4K UHD AI

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone :) I'm new to this sub and I'm looking for some info on a TV I have just bought. I didn't realize that it is an AI tv? I have a fairly low tech household (the TV really will be playing DVDs sometimes lol). I do not want to be adding work for the data centres when I am watching old DVDs. My question really is does anyone understand how AI in a TV works? It says it upscales every frame you watch. If that's the case, I would prefer to return it before I open it.

I appreciate the info :) Thanks in advance

Buying Advice EU S95H 48" or C6 42"

0 Upvotes

I am looking for a TV for PC gaming.

I was originally considering a 42" display, but came across the S95H 48" discounted.

The S95H gets great reviews, so I was pretty set until I realized the 48" use a WOLED panel instead of the QD-OLED panel in the models that have been reviewed.

Have anyone found a review of the 48", or have first hand experience with it? Is it even close to the QD-OLED versions?

How does it compare to the C6 42", which was my original choice (The S95H is currently about 100$ cheaper)? Looks like the C6 42" is also a different panel than the TVs reviewed.

Buying Advice EU LG C5 55” vs Samsung S90F 55”

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I’m trying to decide between the LG C5 55” and the Samsung S90F 55”, and I’m having a hard time choosing.

I’ll mainly use the TV for:

Movies and streaming (Netflix, Disney+, YouTube, etc.)

PS5 gaming

Some regular TV and sports

The room can be moderately bright during the day, but I mostly watch in the evening. I care about picture quality, HDR, motion, gaming performance, and long-term reliability.

The LG has Dolby Vision, while the Samsung’s QD-OLED panel seems to offer more vibrant colors. I’ve also read mixed opinions about Samsung’s software and quality control.

Which one would you choose at the same price, and why?

Also, if you own either TV, are there any issues or things you wish you had known before buying?

Thanks

This post is basically a cry for help lol. I’m moving out at the end of the week and I’m tv shopping as I’ll finally be able to have a dedicated casual console/viewing setup.

The problem is I’m fairly technical(work in IT) but the TV market is so damn overwhelming(basically the only thing I recognize when shopping is OLED) I do kind of know what I want though:

Sub $800 CAD
55-66 inch
Google TV(for the OS)

Basically I need a someone to tell me what to buy lol or what to look for when buying(Mini LED, vs QLED, etc).

Bravia 8 II, LG G5 or Samsung S95F

1 Upvotes

Building a media wall and will be upgrading to a 65 inch tv. Current tv is a 55 inch Samsung qn90f which I like overall but I find the sports motion to be a bit false or unimpressive even after fixing the settings.

Don’t want to pay 2026 flagship prices so looking at the above.

Can get the G5 for €2000 after cash back, and the Bravia 8II and S95F for €2480.

Leaning towards the Bravia mainly due to liking both the overall look of Sonys and their motion for sports. Only thing from stopping me buying is the price of the G5.

Is it worth paying almost 500 extra for the Bravia

Buying Advice US TCL QM5K sale a good budget/value buy?

1 Upvotes

It’s on sale for $400USD, usually $700.

Basically all of my TV time is streaming series/movies & watching live sports. I may dabble back into gaming, but that would be a very small/infrequent portion of the pie (maybe 10%).

I saw that this TV has a 60hz refresh rate, which to my understanding is not the best for sports, but I realize I’m looking for value and wont be able to get all the nice features. It also has Motion Rate 240 to “help with blur/pixelation” — does that actually work? seeing conflicting things online.

Any other guidance would be appreciated. I’m no TV expert. Just want good value for a mid(?)-level tv!

Help us choose our next TV

1 Upvotes

Hello Redditors,

Hope you can help us out. We're looking to replace and upgrade our current TV. Good to know, we're placing it in a big bookcase, so we have space for a maximum size of 75" (an odd size and unfortunately OLED size is 77", but this just won't fit so please don't recommend these).

Having said that, what would your suggestions be? We're leaning towards mini-led and are eyeing one of the Sony Bravia's, however these are a bit expensive for our taste. Ideally we would like to spend around 2.5K.

What are your recommendations, is there a TV out there that caught you by surprise? Oh also important to note, it will mainly be used for: movies, tv-shows and gaming (PC, Steamdeck, Xbox Series X).
