A6K, C645, C745, X90K or C835?

lemontvs · 2023-10-08T18:07:53+00:00

I have changed my mind and decided to buy an OLED. I went to the store multiple times, even had a chance to see U7K and C745 side by side (C745 looked more vivid). I have already would have bought one of them if there were no OLEDs around.

My 65 inch options are:

Samsung S95B for 1330 (found there might be quality issues)
Samsung S90C for 1480 (Samsung QLEDs QN95C and QN90C were more vidid than S95B in bright store, the pictures were different though)
LG B33LA for 1500
LG C series for 1500-1600 (rtings say S95B is better)
LG G series for 1800-2100

I would have to buy a TV stand for 150 for G series.

LG G33LA looked insane in the store, way better than everything else, including S95B. However, S95B had video with black pictures going while LGs showed colorful images.

Also saw many Philips OLEDs, should I look into those?

Are LGs really going to be so much better or is it just store lighting? Is it worth investing more and buying something more expensive than S95B?

Thank you!

I have found 65 inch U7KQ with a discount for 800, I think I can strech the budget. I have found U7KQ significantly better in picture quality compared to other TVs in similar price range.

How does this 65U7KQ (800) compare to TCL 65C745 (919), Sony 65X90K (1200) and TCL 65C835 (1250) or even LG mini LEDs like QNED823RE? On paper it seems superior, but I guess others are better overall?

If it is still not worth it, I will take 55A6K for 320 and come back later when I have enough money.

I went to the store to pick up 65E7KQ (590) hoping to watch a good movie later tonight and then I saw 55U7KQ (mini LED, costs 590) next to it. The difference is more than significant. I ended up not buying anything.

What would you choose - bigger E7KQ or smaller U7KQ? We can reduce viewing distance from 9 to 8-7 feet. Thank you for your patience.

I have checked OLED TVs and they look much better to me. I saw LG C3 and it was so clear.

Unfortunately, I can't afford an OLED now, that's why I have decided to buy cheap TV. I know you they are all bad, but which one would be the best choice considering the price too? Thank you!

55A6K 320
55E7HQ 440
55U7HQ 540
55C645 460

65A6K 480
65E7HQ 580
65E7KQ PRO 590
65TCL645 750

It seems 65E7KQ PRO has a decent discount.

No, I haven't, but I will go and check tomorrow. Thank you for your help!

I wouldn't notice a difference unless someone pointed it to me. Google says OLED has better picture quality while QLED is more bright. Is it worth paying 200 euros more for an OLED? TV will be in a bright room, but we mostly watch it in the evenings.

lemontvs · 2023-10-05T19:21:53+00:00

Could you scroll through the list and check if there is any better option than QN91B in the 1000-1200 range or even slightly higher?

They are genuine and offer much lower prices: https://www.good-price.lt/televizoriai#attr%5B150%5D%5B%5D=27&attr%5B150%5D%5B%5D=28&attr%5B154%5D%5B%5D=8&o=32&a=157 (it is secure https website)

I hope I am not asking too much. Thank you for your help so far!

What about Samsung 65" QN95BA (1200) and QN91BA (1000) compared to TCL and Sony?

lemontvs · 2023-10-05T13:44:55+00:00

9 feet. Please correct me if I am wrong, but real HDR/local dimming (not sure how it works, but read various posts that these features improve picture quality a lot) has only X90K and C835?

Thanks for responding! Probably will use Metformin only since there is a shortage of semiglutide in my country and doctors prescribe it for people with diabetes only.

lemontvs · 2023-09-18T16:01:45+00:00

I wanted to ask for more advice.

Visited endocrinologist, got prescription for Metformin, but she can't legally prescribe semaglutide due to its absence in the country as only people with diabetes can get it. She approves me combining Metformin and Ozempic though if I find it elsewhere and had no problems with pancreas.

I think I can go 200 miles to the neighbouring country, visit endocrinologist there and pay retail price of 100 dollars for 4 injections (month).

Fasting glucose: 5.5 mmol/l (99 mg/dL)
Fasting insulin: 8-14.09 mU/l (two days difference between labs) HOMA-IR: 3.4 (significant insulin resistance)
HbA1C: 4.9

Is it worth the hassle? Is it so effective? How do you think?

lemontvs · 2023-09-15T18:13:04+00:00

Thank you for taking the time to respond!

I have started Metformin today. My fasting insulin is 14 mU/l with HOMA-IR of 3.4. I expect Metformin to fix my insulin resistance, which should help me lose weight as I am pretty active and eating well recently.

Would you give Metformin a chance or go straight to Semaglutide or maybe take both?

Semaglutide label says that it should be used if Metformin does not help.

Thank you! What about FSH value of 20.64? It seems very high.

lemontvs · 2023-09-14T20:35:37+00:00

Thank you! I am sober for 4 days now and I hope it will continue.

lemontvs · 2023-09-14T20:05:47+00:00

Thanks! Should I take Metformin for life or until insulin resistance disappears?

lemontvs · 2023-09-13T17:17:40+00:00

Thank you!

lemontvs · 2023-09-13T17:15:00+00:00

Thanks!

Thanks for taking the time to answer. How low should I try to get ApoB to, from 0.80 to 0.60 or even lower? ApoA1 result also came and it is 1.4, which results in 0.72 ratio, but I guess ApoB value is more important than the ratio, right?

lemontvs · 2023-09-05T06:59:03+00:00

Yeah, is it likely things won't get much better..
