Does OLED or QLED make much of a difference if getting one
I went with an LG OLED a couple years ago based on the advice in this thread and it was the best decision ever. I love that girl. Just do it and you’ll be glad you did forever.

How do you guys hang a TV…lag bolts into studs or butterfly clips into drywall?
I’ve always done lag bolts because that just feels wayyyy stronger, but during my most recent move two different folks in the know have sworn by butterfly clips.
I’ve got to mount a 65” LG OLED on one of those mounts that can pull away from the wall. The leverage “feels” terrifying for drywall anchors.
I always go into studs for tvs.
When I couldn’t align a stud correctly I used a backing plate since it’s not visible behind the tv anyways. That is unless your using a mantle mount.

Studs...but don't forget a modern TV is much lighter than one of 10 years ago. Lag bolts might be overkill these days but would rather have too much than not enough.

A single #8 screw penetrating 1.5"(I think? It mentions a 2x4) has 90 lb shear rating and 168lb pullout. 4 x #8 screws is plenty, I'd use 1.75" minimum, so you have ~1/4" for the bracket and washer, 1/2" for drywall, and ~1" for stud penetration.
Size, weight, and bracket type would determine whether I would target the studs or just use drywall anchors.
If you are using a full motion bracket and larger TV, then I would probably consider fastening to the studs since you’ll be moving it around and putting extra stress on the anchors, and the drywall holes could wear down over time. For a flat or tilt stationary mount, or a smaller TV, drywall is fine. We have a tiny ~32” LCD in our gym on a lightweight full-motion mount and that is just secured to the drywall.
Ok....so you have a budget of $2k. Want a tv in the 65" range. Used primarily for watching hockey & tv/movies. Only gaming would be a Switch. Room is farily bright during the day but not blinding.
What do you buy and from where? Is Visions a decent option?
**edit**
Visions has this one on sale that sounds solid.
n/m, that was for a store in BC apparenlty.

Someone is going to call me out for being so predictable here, but… the TCL 6-Series 65” is $1,299, and the 5-Series 65” is $999.
For a bright room with your use-case, I would do the 6-Series. Only reason I haven’t gotten one for myself is that they don’t make an 85” 6-Series.

Got an LG TV (model: 43up7000pua) and I have it set up as a second monitor. The tv is connected to my computers 3060 through an HDMI cable. However, whenever I play a video and fullscreen it, it becomes super choppy/laggy. The video works fine when it’s not full screened.
Some stuff I tried but didn’t work:
I’ve changed the HDMI label and icon to PC- therefore disabling TruMotion along with it
I’ve changed the TV’s refresh rate to 60 HZ from 23HZ
I tried running it in game mode but that didn’t solve it
I tried a different cable.. (the cables support 4K so I don’t think it’s a bad cable)
I checked to make sure hardware acceleration was off in chrome..
I reinstalled Nvidia drivers..
I looked for a way to update webOS but I couldn’t find it
I’m out of ideas on what to do so any help would be appreciated. My primary monitor is 144HZ if that matters.

Which resolutions and refresh rates have you tried? Have you turned off G Sync?
July 2018 I started this thread and I need to replace that TV already. Vizio E series the backlight has gone on it and it looks like I could fix it for about $100 plus a bunch of time to tear it down completely. Doesn't seem worth it.

Make sure to check the video card display settings, not Windows display settings. I was having similar problems before with an LG TV and it was the Nvidia settings that helped. You should be aiming for 60 Hz refresh rate at a minimum, not 23.
When I plugged my computer to my TV via HDMI for some reason it chose 4k at 20 Hz or something and this is where I fixed it:
I have my TV now set to output my PC at 1440p/60 Hz and it works great.

Looks like Samsung is going to be retaking the crown for best overall TV when the QD-OLED's come out
Interesting. It's kinda silly watching these things on a display like my laptop that is obviously worse than either of these displays, but I thought the LG OLED looked better on all the side by sides. My OLED is in a room with lots of windows and I've never found brightness an issue. Also interesting what he says about reds as overly glowing reds and things like glowing Seahawks uniforms on HDR sports are the biggest things I fight with.
I welcome all these OLED and other directv view technologies and hope it makes for a 77+ inch OLED or bigger in the next year or two.
LG announced their new TVs yesterday I see. The B2 sounds interesting as an entry level. The 60Hz A1s were always a non-starter to me. But a 77 inch B2 could be getting into my budget.
