I'm really happy with this TV and its ability to upscale lower-resolution content. I hooked my Nintendo Switch to it expecting it to look worse than my old TV because of the higher resolution and bigger screen, but the TV seems to have presets for it that greatly improve the experience. Not only is the image sharp, but the motion interpolation makes the gameplay smoother. Breath of the Wild looks much better than it used to on my old 50" from 2015.

I too tried my luck with Visions for 77 & best they could do is $2850 if you pickup in store. They only had 6 units left, that too scattered in different locations & nothing in warehouse. So most probably all will be sold out well before Black Friday.

I went to Oshawa this morning, saw the last 2 people taking the last 2 unit at 9;10.
Called Costco admin, confirmed, this price is only for that store, AND Hamilton in Stoney creek, when I called this morning there is suppose to be 2 there for 77 inch at 2499.
Too far for me, I called few different retailer, was told this pricing is unreal, too good to be true, refused to match, however at 1 of a chain retailer ,I was able to show the receipt @MKOtic posted and got it matched.
The first thing they did ask was if there was any stock left in costco, so I said Hamilton did have it, not sure if they called to check , waited 5-10 mins, got the manager's approval, was told they are losing money at this price, basically forced the extended warranty down on me(as I felt like at one point they don't want to match it if I don't buy it.), I did refuse it a few time before getting the price knocked to 389 for 5 years total, (nothing compare to costco), however they will deliver it for free to my house( so that made the warranty easier to swallow).
The thing is I was refused by another store from the same chain prior. so give it a try guys, I am unable to name the retailer or post the receipt as I have yet to get the delivery of the unit, as they will deliver it this coming week, the guy at the store keep saying this is a price they will not give to walk in customer and even proceed to highlight the Costco price match on the receipt. Hopefully this experience help people, I will post the name of the store if people still wants to know after I get my unit delivered.
Can you pm me the name of the retailer or the person contact? I'd like to get the same deal

On my C1, I didn't have it enabled for the longest time (mainly because I was not even using DV since I have an old nVidia Shield), but I started to use the built in apps instead of my Shield. So I decided to try it out the IQ mode. And it makes a pretty noticeable difference. Shadow detail is more easily seen during the daytime.

To enable it, play some content that is Dolby Vision enabled, and then select Cinema Home mode and go to General settings and turn ON the AI Brightness setting. That is supposed to enable the Dolby Vision IQ algorithm.
The Sony OLEDs don't list Dolby Vision IQ as an official supported format. They do have an ambient light sensor but they probably don't use that in conjunction with the Dolby Vision dynamic metadata.

DV IQ is a pretty cool feature. I find it effective so far.....so much so that it would sway me to choose one set over another for that reason. Using HDR in varying light conditions is something I struggle with. But with ambient light sensor along with DV's tone mapping, it really improves the viewability for the better in varying light conditions. Call me a believer.

Sony could definitely implement something to the same effect, and I'm wondering if they cant' just support it in a firmware update.

Yeah, my friend had the same problem. Eventually he repositioned the wallmount because it felt weird looking up so much. I had a tall media cabinet with my TV and replaced mine to get my new TV lower. I like my TV about 21" off the floor with the stand. That's perfect for the couch we use.

I would hate to watch TV with it mounted over the fireplace.

My tv is over the fireplace but I picked up a cool mount from prime cables that lowers it down about 2 feet, which is perfect. If you calibrate the mount properly you can position it anywhere in between the top and bottom positions. Downside is that it is quite far from the wall in the down position but it needs to clear the fireplace anyway.

I just like my TV close to eye level which feels the most comfortable for long term viewing. I guess your kind of mount is a good option if you are not using the fireplace at the same time.

+1, Eye level at 2/3rds height of the screen for us. Can't imagine watching above our fireplace.

Can you comment on the video settings you use with your Nintendo Switch? Did you turn off any of the LG AI?

For those who uses it as a computer monitor and notices a 2~3 pixels wide border around your real desktop, and sometimes it shifts itself a bit, you weren't crazy and DON'T try to battle it under the video overscan option and leave the C1 Scan option to "original"..... It's the damn OLED Care was working and every now and then it would shift the whole screen a few pixels....

Turn "OLED Care" off and you would have 100% pixel perfect resolution.

This phantom "OLED Care" drove me crazy for past a few days and initially I thought my Intel UHD 600 was turning bad, and tried several drivers for it....

If you turn "OLED Care" off, you are prone to burn in. Nothing's perfect in this world....

My parents have the primecables pulldown fireplace mount and it works great. They were thinking of just flat mounting it, but are now glad I recommended the pull down option: https://www.shopperplus.ca/p-362175-cab ... rimecables

It says it's for a maximum of 70", but they have had a 75" TV on there for over a year with no issues. For a cleaner look, they left the handle off and just reach behind and use the bar to move it as needed.

A few years before, my inlaws mounted their TV with a full motion, but non pull down model, above the fireplace and it's too high. That was before I saw the pulldown option. I suggested that they replace it, but they feel the current mount is good enough. That is their call, but after seeing both options, I would definitely use the pulldown model if I was mounting a TV over a fireplace. IMHO it's worth the extra money and time (extra time if you have to remove the previous mount and install a new one).
