A similar thing happened almost a decade ago. Remember the brand Qnix, Catleap, or Crossover? In 2012 and 2013, people started buying "Korean monitors" that have 27 inch IPS panel at 2560 x 1440 resolution, priced at around $300. These monitors presumably have the same IPS panel used by Apple Display at a fraction of the cost. Although your mileage may vary if you bought one (I read some horror stories regarding these monitors), I can say that I am a happy customer. Bought one in March 2012 and I'm still using it now.

Like how LG mobiles failed due to over-discounts. By the end, everyone including reviewers doing the first review were saying "The price is $900 now, but it will be $300 in two-three months, so hold off your purchases". And thus no one was purchasing at their intended prices anymore.

They were a very early pioneer in doing cutting edge research to design their products, but as a result they had their research wing being more pure science focused instead of consumer product focused. This created a lot of internal politics and different heads pulling in different directions. Ultimately after decades of this and certain products taking arguably a decade longer to come out than they should have in order to do well in the market (namely the CED, which was a way to put video on a vinyl record... which didn't come out until after VHS and Laserdisc, due to politics and management issues), they ultimately collapsed under all the sunk costs and lack of remarkable products.

I literally deal with MAP prices everyday at work. They are definitely important, and help big box stores from trampling over smaller retailers. I fortunately have a very decent relationship with my main company, but I can see how even with MAP prices it's a small margin for smaller then us retailers, but they at least make things mostly manageable. There's definitely a certain point where a small retailer could just say screw, why even stock your products if big box stores can sell for less then even the small retailer can pay for it.

@jesseg7757 2 жыл бұрын

Most get around the MAP price by doing a cheesy “Click to see price in cart” scam. It’s all a load of crap, and allows big retailers to throw money in the form of loss-leaders to get all the knock-on hardware purchases like sound bars and such. (While I don’t THINK TV’s tend to be loss-leaders, it wouldn’t surprise me if the margin was enough higher on the accessories to make it worth it to them.)

Skyworth could also be getting lower binned panels that might have with color accuracy in general. Kind of like back in the day when Apple had their Thunderbolt display that and would only accept A+ panels from it's supplier (I think it was Sharp but it might have been LG). So any display that didn't pass with an A+ went into Korean branded monitors that were sold in America for cheap. Supposedly Apple also stipulated that they couldn't sell the panels to large companies or in large bulk so that they weren't competing with LG or Dell with their own panel.

Having a serviceable factory calibration really should be a priority though.

0:21 I don't know if it's deliberate, but I love how the last frame before the sponsor changes aspect ratio. Like if it was deliberate then that was a cool move, it made me chuckle at that Better Call Saul- style and editing.

Did you make the color Measurement with color temp - standard? if yes, you should expect the colors to be off like that. the 6500K whitepoint is usualy at Warm2 or custom. you can see it in the target for white and grey, and actual, it's way to blue.

If you turn on the developer options open them up and go into the scale section and turn down the three animation settings it'll make it a little snappyer it might mess up your remote mouse cursor if you put the first setting to zero so I'd try 0.05 first, works on all Android devices. 🤷🏻‍♂️✌🏼

@@TheJohnboyhunter yeh why not? small price to pay when you know the technology is susceptible to burn in, you think its a smarter idea to forego the warranty and use the display worrying about the possibility of what could happen? plus, it wasnt extended warranty, the TV already has a warranty and LG have said they will look at burn in on a case by case basis, what i purchased for an extra £140 was 5 years of warranty that covers what normally would not be covered, that being burn in, accidental damage etc what that means is if something happens in 1 year ill get a replacement, if something happens in 4 years ill get a replacement and if its discontinued then likely a replacement with a newer model at no cost to me, doesn't really sound like an ''oh dear'' situation to me.

Funny thing is that my primary gaming and film watching display is a 1080p ultra short throw projector at 60hz. It has very sub-optmal picture and can't handle any resolutions that aren't widescreen well at all (they display in a tiny square in the middle)...but it's 100 inch and it's hard to go back to something smaller.

If you want to experiment and not worried about voiding the warranty, you can always take the output resistors on the driver circuit and just put a lower value resistor on the board. In theory it will provide more power and increase peak brightness

@yrly59e 2 жыл бұрын

It can probably be unlocked via firmware or service menus. My guess is Skyworth caps it to prevent burn in and save warranty claims. The Sony A8H is harder to burn in than the LG C8 despite the same panel. Sony capped the peak brighness where LG drives theirs super bright. On the plus side it will likely last a long time.

Not sure how others set up their home theater systems, but mine is set up so that all my inputs go into my receiver first and then 1 output to the TV. So my Blue Ray, Xbox, Cable box all go into receiver then use 1 output to TV. There is no sound that passes from any device to TV and back to receiver. So trying to get the Shield to transfer Atmos to the receiver should be no issue if you plug it into receiver first and let the receiver send the video to the TV.

Just wanted to say, I don't usually bother watching the TV related videos anymore, they all tend to feel a bit out of touch with anyone except rich people, but I gave this one a shot. I'm glad I did, it's good that Linus admits that it's not the most terrible TV even if it has flaws and not up to his standards, and he's trying a bit more to actually think about the viewpoint of a normal viewer who doesn't have a kazillion dollars and a large house to put big fancy TVs in. Would have liked to see a comparison at the end towards just whatever other TV you can get at that price point, not just to a more expensive OLED. Anyway I did appreciate the Linus Business Tips too, it's a good insight into how the business model of retail works (or how it doesn't), and I like that it's not trying to tell me "and this is why you should think how things work this way is good and fine", it's just an explanation.
