By then the update should be out as well.

Seems to have all the requirements you mentioned unless I’m not reading the specs right.

And is within budget, albeit on the higher side...

But I decided to wait. Till I big price drop on tv.
I know I won't be able to use the full advantage of the 2.1hdmi right in the beginning so no need to rush.

So you will regret it if you get it...when next year they fix it and release proper 48Gbps HDMI 2.1 in newer LG models.

I'm pretty satisfied with the price i got especially since i couldn't get rid of those games.
I still have LOU2 for sale which should get me at least 50-60$.

I'm glad to be almost done with all the lowballer...

I feel like a kid hording all my christmas money for a N64.

Just need to wait another month and a half to get some games in again!

That sucks, was hoping to have it for the holidays.

Also...again I don't recommend OLED for gaming due to burn-ins for those who play long sessions.

QD-OLED...and even better Q-LED are where higher priced investments should be.

But for most people with Budgets...I recommend Mini-LED to avoid the burn ins and have better colour in brighter lit rooms.

But Mini-LED will be better available and improved on in 2021. That's why I recommend waiting.

I am on the fence with Dual-Cell TVs...have not seen any true benefits over Mini-LEDs...yet...and they consume more energy...so less energy efficient.

For the Rich dudes out there...the future is in Laser TV short throw projection....looks absolutely stunning.
