We just got a Sonos Arc to go with a CX55. When both sat on the tv unit it does cut off the bottom 2cm of the TV which you wont notice in films when they're in wide screen but you'd notice when watching regular TV/anything full screen. We will be wall mounting the TV soon so it's not a huge issue but it's not something I'd want to keep forever.

thanks. The beam is taller than the Arc too but a few cms I believe.

Is the BX stand taller than the CX?

With wall mounting, what mount and fixings am I looking for? Blue grip its have been suggested, as its plasterboard

Got the CX48 recently, really improves my film watching experience over my old 40in 1080p VA Sony. I did need to upgrade my AV receiver at the same time (Sony STR-DN1080 which is so much better than the STR-DN1030 it replaced).
I now want one of these wall mounted as a gaming monitor. I figure I'd only need to pull my desk out a few in from the wall to make it work

They are OK at best - nothing special, but they work just fine.

The wall mount you can see in my CX55 pics is the B-Tech BTV520.

Fixed into 2 studs on a typical internal plaster wall.

Thanks! I'll look that up.

On AV Forums, I'm seeing so many complaints about HDR at 4k 120fps not being as it should along with issues of stuttering at those settings.

Anything to worry about? Tbh my PC wont touch 4k 120fps but does it affect lower resolutions too?

My RTX 3080 arrives tomorrow - I'll test some games and let you know.

Still, there aren't many games that will run 4K@120fps even on a 3080.

Oh nice! I hope to get a 3series probably next year at some point.

Thanks.

Tbh I happily game at 1440p at the moment, happy to drop resolution to boost the frames

I've got a dead pixel in the middle of the screen

Dead in all 3 colours? Have you power cycled the TV?

I keep being scared I have one but it's just 2 YouTube channels I watch. They both have one camera with a dead pixel in its sensor!

The 3090 isn't there yet either if you must have ray tracing. I'm kinda glad I missed out on buying one and got the OLED TV instead. The next gen of cards will be the true fast 4k gen.

I always turn the TV off.

I put it in standby for a good few hours last night not tried it since.

You shouldn't fully power oled tvs off since they need the standby mode to run the mini pixel refresh in the background.

How much power will this use in standby I don't want it raising my leccy bill

It might raise it, by about 50p over the year.

In the UK, the 55in CX is listed as either the OLED55CX6LA or OLED55CX5LB. The only difference between the two is the finish: the 6LA is ‘Dark Silver’ and the 5LB is ‘Light Silver’.

Ah misread, yeah they seem fairly interchangeable. Same model with minimal differences externally.

Phew cool thanks. They display that poorly on the site

Dark silver it is then!

Need to move my KS7000 on now but dont really know what is reasonable to ask for it?

Got my 55CX delivered today. Pretty nice ain't it

Honestly it's a little larger than I would have liked, the 48 would have been a better fit for this room, but I couldn't bring myself to pay more for less.
