Want to sell also not giving wrong info mah!!! Sony really... KNS, must sack their sales ppl lah... OLED is much brighter than LED screens. Yet they encourage ppl to watch in such close distance with OLED?!! Actually I have read and heard that LCD is brighter than OLED https://www.cnet.com/how-to/led-lcd-vs-oled/ Extract: Light output (brightness) Winner: LCD Loser: OLED Take this category with a grain of salt. Both TV types are very bright and can look good in even a sunny room, let alone more moderate indoor lighting situations or the dark rooms that make TV images look their best. When it comes down to it, no modern TV could ever be considered "dim." LCD gets the nod here specifically because the whole screen can be brighter, a function of its backlight. OLED can't do a full screen with as much brightness. Full-screen brightness isn't very important in the real world however, so this category is a relatively hollow victory for LCD. Light output also plays a big part in High Dynamic Range (HDR), which we'll discuss a little later. And here: https://www.digitaltrends.com/home-theater/oled-vs-led/ Extract: Brightness When it comes to brightness, LED TVs have a considerable advantage. LEDs were already good at getting extremely bright, but the addition of quantum dots allows them to get even brighter. OLED TVs can get pretty bright, too, and with such dark blacks, contrast between the brightest and darkest spots on screen is all the more exaggerated. However, cranking OLED pixels to their maximum brightness for extended periods not only reduces their lifespan, but the pixel also takes slightly longer to return to total black. With those considerations in mind, it’s important to note that all modern TVs — OLED, LED/LCD, or otherwise — produce more than adequate brightness. The consideration then becomes where the TV will be used. In a dark room, an OLED TV is going to perform best, while LED TVs will outshine them (quite literally) in more brightly lit environments. It should also be noted that Sony introduced some incredibly bright OLED models in 2018, and LG’s next-gen OLEDs are also impressively bright, making them perfectly suitable for nearly any situation, save direct sunlight beaming onto the screen. Still, when compared directly, LED still has the edge. Winner by a nose: LED/LCD
Guest BadEnglish Posted November 20, 2018 Posted November 20, 2018 I believe it's based on THX's recommendation.
synthesis1624705793 Posted November 20, 2018 Posted November 20, 2018 I think it's the distance that our eyes can differentiate 4k from lower resolution properly. At 3m, our eyes cannot differentiate between 4k and 1080 resolution. Imo.... Or it is recommendation based on our eyes viewing angle of about 50 degrees, so if our view is full of TV, that's the distance.

Audio Posted November 20, 2018 Posted November 20, 2018 LED is brighter than OLED. OLED is blacker than LED. (Audio)
Jagdpanzer Posted November 20, 2018 Posted November 20, 2018 It could be a printing error. Let Sony know the probable error and you could be rewarded. Many years ago, I highlighted a technical error in the brochure of the newly launched models of Sony CD player and Sony Singapore was so grateful that they gave me a 50% discount of their third top ES model.

petetherock Posted November 20, 2018 Posted November 20, 2018 The fact is that most of us are sitting too far away to enjoy the full benefits of 4k. Esp our non HT enthusiasts..
Audio Posted November 20, 2018 Posted November 20, 2018 Everyone keep saying,.....oh, the TV size is too big for the room....NOT ANY MORE!! No more excuses!! (Audio)
Corona11 Posted November 20, 2018 Posted November 20, 2018 The fact is that most of us are sitting too far away to enjoy the full benefits of 4k. Esp our non HT enthusiasts.. First time I fired up a 4k blu ray on my 4k projector I was underwhelmed, I felt like no difference, it was later when I played back a normal FHD Blu Ray then I felt everything was no longer crispy sharp and now am hooked to playing 4k Blu Rays only....damn this is getting expensive.

dbchoong Posted November 22, 2018 Posted November 22, 2018 I wonder what the viewing distance will be when 8K TVs become the norm..
Corona11 Posted November 22, 2018 Posted November 22, 2018 I wonder what the viewing distance will be when 8K TVs become the norm.. Frankly these viewing distances by Sony is just marketing snake oil to tempt you to buy bigger TVs, as the margins are way better. So what they are telling you is that no house is too small for larger TVs. It gets to a ridiculous point where it is no longer about comfort but about size and resolutions to increase profits. I would rather view 100 inches at 5 to 6m then 75 inches at 2m. Sent from my SM-G965F using Tapatalk

This was my initial thoughts as well... WahLauEhh... Machiam EVERY BTO is built with big wide walls and SONY TV sure can fit into every homes. I wonder how many in SONY are PAP supporters that they bear the same mentality of "quality life".
tsammyc Posted November 29, 2018 Posted November 29, 2018 I sit 0.8m from a 40 inch Samsung 4K TV. It's perfect and I can see every pixel. Reason I do this is that its the monitor for my MacBook Pro and I edit a lot of high res photos where I need to see every pixel without zooming in too much. Sitting a little further back, clarity of 4K video is the same as at 0.8m, but there are conditions where you want to see every pixel and being very close is the only way.

Watching TV and scrutinizing for editing are 2 different things. Sent from my SM-G965F using Tapatalk
tsammyc Posted November 30, 2018 Posted November 30, 2018 I go from scrutinizing pixels to watching 4K just by leaning the chair back
