You'd both go with an 4k Oled over a 8k Qled?

Since I am currently not in the market for a new TV, I have no opinion at this stage.

In my view, 8k is only about future proofing. TV manufacturers need differentiators to up-price and position their products, 8k is such an 'innovation'. They did something similar with curved TVs 10+ years ago. They never caught on (in the TV space, in the monitor space they did), but everyone was keen on having one back in the days. Even today my Gigabit connection has moments-in-time struggles to put through the full resolution to Nextflix at 4k.

So in the end, it is a balance between 'how long will I keep my TV' vs 'when will 8k content be widely available' vs 'what are 8k vs 4k TV prices today'. When I am in the market in 1-3 years, I would make this assessment and potentially go 8k if I see future relevance.

Currently, 8k content is not widely available, and I don't see it being so for the next few years.

Sorry I can't give you more concrete help on this one.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Kirin, my system is driven by a Denon x4700h

I have a 7.0.4 system

Got it, so seems it will be an OLED S95 that still has the connect box, which I appreciate for my setting.

I will try to use the TV speaker as center speaker and then use Beolabs to complete the 5.1 setup. I believe below box should allow me to do so (even in a hybrid wired & wireless setup). Any experience with that?

Lots of posts on the old forum

Thanks for sharing. Indeed a very pricey solution. Also clear from the posts you linked.

It seems to work though. And I didn't see any alternatives?
