As someone else stated earlier cameras will pickup extra light. Chances are the picture you took will look much brighter than what you actually see. For example on my 55" the black screen look black with some slight bleeding on the left edge. With a camera shot the screen looks much more bright, almost blue. You can play with the camera settings in most cases to get a better representation of the true image.AverageJoee wrote: ↑ 20160906_015410.jpgSo I picked this up. And I noticed some screen bleeding.

In Calgary it was funny to look at two facing rows of TV demos, more than a dozen, and only the two Haiers (55" & 65") had the Costco promo low resolution videos running. All the others (Samsung & Vizio) were playing 4k videos. Very misleading.arielcanarg wrote: ↑ Warden location had lots in stock on Sunday afternoon.
Both units on display, 55" showing stock footage, and 65" tuned on Global HD through OTA antenna.

I moved into a house that had a 65" Samsung 550 series plasma which died on me. Urgent need for a new 65" TV. this is in our 'great room', so my buyer value is high quality set that will grow with the times, but not put me out a ton of $$. I went to costco brampton. love the intent of the sales people but they basically tried to convince me that the guts of all sets are basically the same, and by adjusting the Haier's settings, i'd get 'as good a picture as any other 4k set'. i'm no expert but i just find that's not true. they had the 65" Haier 4k on display and ran stock costco content through it, while the samsung and LG were playing the 'made for 4k, sell the sh*t out of this unit' stuff that looked amazing. needless to say, i was not impressed with the Haier but stuck around desperately trying to love it. in the end, the 60Hz vs 120+Hz refresh rate made me think that i can't have the Haier as my 'showpiece' TV in the house. what made me really annoyed was that the next TV came in at over double the price. I walked out with the LG 6150, and when i started using it, the edge-lit stuff started really bugging me. like i noticed when the screen was 'black', the corners seemed to light up brighter than the rest of the set. i think i need to take the LG back.greg123 wrote: ↑same here, might make a trip down south for the 70", person must be blind if they can't tell the noticeable difference between the two, unless your hugely in debt, or using this as a secondary rarely used tv.funinagg wrote: ↑ just went to nearest costco.
similar option as many posters: cheap 1080/2160p vs quality (i.e. vizio m65-d) with value (performance/cost) being the trigger
wifey looked at this n a vizio m60-c side by side n said shd wait for sale/price drop on m65-d
i am biased due to overanalysis but poor video processing and lack of (many) lighting zones stood out.
still think at 750 and costco warranty, it is a close call.
we only use one tv. those who use two can surely buy this one as a gap filler until m65-d or other better ones with hdr fall in price.
i wud wait i guess.

I have the TV running through my Xbox. One strange issue I've found so far is that if I turn my xbox one off first and then this TV, the TV power just recycles and keeps turning back on. If I turn off the TV first, and then the Xbox it's fine and stays off. Not sure if I've got a faulty unit or not. Also, the Xbox One claimed it was able to detect the TV remote code, but when it tried to communicate with it it wouldn't work, so don't think the TV feature works on X1. Like you said though, I tried Destiny and it looked fantastic.

What matters is how it looks in your home. If Costco is intentionally running lower-quality demos on the Haiers (to make the more expensive TVs look like they're worth the extra), I'd have no guilty feeling at returning the Haier if still didn't like it at home.i was not impressed with the Haier but stuck around desperately trying to love it. i

Sounds like HDMI CEC settings are messing up. Try playing around with thosekyleashton wrote: ↑

If you're going to try to compare TVs you at least need to make sure that they are both showing the same source content. Also, promo content from the manufacturers usually looks more impressive than what you'll actually watch at home. They know how to produce content that will showcase the screen to make it look as impressive as possible (and hide weaknesses), and that content just isn't typical.dhobiwala wrote: ↑I moved into a house that had a 65" Samsung 550 series plasma which died on me.

so now - i am thinking about the Vizio M. it's not a 'brand name' but seems to be more worth it than the Samsung 6xxx and LG 6xxx series TVs. i know we're not supposed to make recos in the deals section, but if anyone has strong thoughts, let me know. I saw the Sony 7 series at Best Buy and thought they were really nice - but i'm keen to get something from Costco mostly due to warranty and concierge service... don't think Costco carries a 65" Sony 4k
alright folks - thoughts?

If your looking for a spectacular TV panel with latest technological break-through consider HDR SUHD Quantum Dot. From what has been stated Quantum Dot equals OLED at a less expensive pricing.so now - i am thinking about the Vizio M. it's not a 'brand name' but seems to be more worth it than the Samsung 6xxx and LG 6xxx series TVs. i know we're not supposed to make recos in the deals section, but if anyone has strong thoughts, let me know.

Heres a great article explaining screen bleeding and testing by RTINGScan someone tell me what screen bleeding means? I bought this tv on the weekend and I see dark vertical like on left side of the screen.

I was considering the LG but read reviews that spoke about the edge-lit issues you mentioned. What about the Sony XBR65X750D? $1800 at BB right now.dhobiwala wrote: ↑I moved into a house that had a 65" Samsung 550 series plasma which died on me.
