r/RTINGS

I hate to ask this but can anyone send a screenshot of at least the Raw Frequency Response for the Sony WF-C710N. I use to use the graph as a base of how I adjusted eq and then adjusted it after that until it sounded good, but that was before the paywall. I found other websites (SoundGuys) when I was researching earbuds but their pages are more like a article instead of facts, and their eq graph is squished down so it isn't the best.

Also if this isn't instantly deleted, what is the difference between posting rules 2 and 4 because they sort of counteract each other.

Please use this thread to discuss anything you want related to rtings.com. Moderation will be minimal here but as always we ask you to remain civil.

Hi all!

As many of you know now, I try to be as hands-off with regards to the moderation as possible but recently there has been a huge uptick in requests for unlocked content and it's becoming overwhelming. Some of you are disappointed that rtings changed their monetization policy and that's fair but this community cannot become the place where you're looking for free handouts. They've been more than generous to unlock posts for us but from this point forward we will not be allowing custom requests.

This is a decision made by the moderation team and not by rtings so please do not be mad at them.

Huge thanks!

Pretty excited for this! Anyone going to grab on release?

I've spent the last few weeks rabbit-holing into TV tech and keep seeing RGB Mini-LED vs. QD Mini-LED debated. I think I’ve got the technical gist, but I’m struggling to figure out if it actually translates to a better picture in a bright living room.

From what I’ve gathered:

QD Mini-LED (Samsung): Uses a blue backlight with a Quantum Dot film to convert light into colors.

RGB Mini-LED (Hisense): Skips the conversion layer. The LEDs themselves are red, green, and blue, producing color directly at the source.

I’m currently comparing between the 75" Hisense UR9 (RGB Mini-LED) and the 75" Samsung QN900F (8K QLED). We watch a lot of Premier League matches and I’m a heavy PS5 gamer.

Here are the specific things I’m stuck on:

Color Volume at High Brightness: I’ve read that because RGB doesn't have a "conversion layer," it maintains better color saturation when pushed to max brightness. Is it true that QD-LEDs can look a bit "washed out" or overly cool when they hit peak nits? Our living room gets a lot of direct sun, so this actually matters.

Light Control & Purity: Since RGB Mini-LED controls the three primary colors at the backlight level, does that actually result in a "cleaner" image? I'm curious if this native RGB control handles high-contrast scenes (like white subtitles on black backgrounds or game UI) better than the traditional white-backlight-plus-filter approach.

The 8K Tax: The Samsung is 8K, but there’s basically zero native 8K content. Is the upscaling engine actually worth the money, or is the native 4K clarity of the UR9’s RGB panel going to look "sharper" because of the better color contrast?

Reliability: QD tech is a veteran at this point. RGB is the "new kid" in consumer TVs. Should I be worried about thermal management or first-gen bugs with the UR9?

Any hands-on experience with either of these would be huge!!

I am going to buy an oled tv for the first time. I just have few questions:

First understand my house's light layout.

Window (Opposite TV): Large west-facing window with black-tinted glass and curtains to reduce sunlight and screen glare.

LED Tube Light 1: Installed on the left wall adjacent to the TV for general room lighting.

LED Tube Light 2: Installed on the right wall adjacent to the TV for balanced illumination.

Warm Spotlight 1: Ceiling-mounted above the TV with low-intensity warm light, facing downward for a soft ambient effect.

Warm Spotlight 2: Ceiling-mounted above the TV with low-intensity warm light, facing downward for uniform ambient lighting.

Cool-White Spotlight 1: Ceiling-mounted on the opposite side of the room, facing downward for brighter functional lighting

Cool-White Spotlight 2: Ceiling-mounted on the opposite side of the room, facing downward for brighter functional lighting.

I am going to use it mostly for ps5 or Netfix.

Also size should be 55 inch and wall mounted.

The price difference between S90F and S95F is just 210 dollars (20k inr).

I was considering S95F but I was dicey about s95f connect one box. I have doubts about it, the cable is expensive and idk how to properly keep it. Basically I am getting paranoid about the one connect box(kind of like the first time trust issues).

Suggest me which one should I buy and if some one have reviews about one connect box, kindly share. Also if something goes wrong with slim one connect box or its wire what could be cost. Mention precautions etc. Also for extra 200 dollars should I go with s95f or just take S90F.

Thank you

Getting on similar price at sale the 55”. I earlier had sony bravia oled for 10+ year want to upgrade. Torn due to mixed reviews. I am not put off by the over saturation in samsung as other claims can fix it by calibration if anything. Can you share your personal preference as well?

I've had my G5 paired with my 5090 gaming pc since last July, upgraded today to G6 and wow what a massive DOWNGRADE in HDR. When you toggle windows HDR on the picture goes flat the vibrancy of all the color is instantly gone. For a mental visualization Its like comparing a side by side pic of a spring garden full of life with colorful flowers and the same location in the winter where everything is dead and colorless. It’s astoundingly, shockingly bad. It's like all the color gets sucked right out of the picture when you flip windows SDR to HDR toggle on. G6 HDR looks 10x worse than SDR when you toggle HDR on in windows settings , this was the opposite on G5. The G5 had an incredible picture for pc gaming in HDR. My only complaint with G5 was the diagonal dithering lines. Well G6 has NO more diagonal dithering lines they've totally fixed that I'm happy to report, but unfortunately the HDR is completely broken. Not even remotely a worthwhile trade off. I barely noticed the dithering, and this HDR issue is so obviously bad its 1000% deal breaker instantly. I tried with Kingdom Come Deliverance 2, Silent Hill 2, Red Dead Redemption 2, God of War, all looked amazing in HDR on my G5 and look absolutely colorless in HDR on the G6. It's very jarring just how bad it is. You will think you've went color blind when you toggle the windows HDR on with the G6. I spent a few hours going through all the settings of the TV and my PC to make sure I had not misconfigured a setting. I figured there's no way LG screwed up the G6 this badly. I had not misconfigured anything. The tv just has shit HDR in windows 11 pc gaming. Lets say G5's pc windows gaming HDR was a 9.5/10, the G6 is a 1/10. It's actually that bad and I'm not exaggerating one bit. I ended up turning windows back to SDR and playing that way for a while it was so bad. It's so bad that I'm not going to wait for a patch and get stuck past the return window of the TV. This thing is going back to LG immediately and I suppose I will be looking at a Samsung possibly this year

This is a warning to all who do pc gaming who are looking at this years LG lineup, STAY AWAY. you have been warned!

I was super excited to finally buy a new tv, heard good things about G5

Bought it, calibrated it and was confused why it looks so horrible in games

i sit close (3-4 feet away) so i noticed the dithering lines right away, then i noticed weird film grain that is present in all near black content

then i was watching a movie with a lot of white colors, i moved to the side and those white colors became slightly green and the brightness changed

i was like what is that ??

I always used to have QD-Oled's so it was my first WOLED and i was not expecting it to be that bad

Refunded it, and got a bigger S90F for the same price and omg it's so much better for video games

No color banding

No weird dithering vertical lines

Perfect viewing angles, no matter where i sit, the white color is white always

Yes the brightness is worse and yes lg g5 had better depth and better contrast

But man, S90f just looks much much cleaner, i play lots of horror games and they all looked like they have double film grain on top, they never looked clean on G5, but on S90F they look amazing

Yeah, Woled is not for me, i always play at night, and don't use tv at day time, but i understand G5 is great if you sit 7-8 feet away in a bright room right in the middle

Hi there everyone,

I noticed that the early access review for the new TCL QM8L is now live on the RTINGS website. Since there is a lot of anticipation around this specific model and its performance this year, I was wondering if we could get an unlock request going for it.

If anyone has active member access and a spare a link, it would be amazing if you could help unlock this review for the community.

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help out!
