Just received my 65” CX this morning. Unable to open it and set it up until after work. It’s going to be a long day.
Here you go, Dominic. Hope that helps a bit. Obviously possibly hard to tell from a photo, but essentially it's a fairly dark silver colour, same as the trim of the telly. Quite understated and rather nice.
Will do. I'm on my way into work now (night shift) so will measure it in the morning unless some other kind soul gets there first. For what it's worth, I've put my sound bar in front of mine now because the audio from the telly is a bit "flat screen". From memory that's about 5cm high and it only just squeezes in there, I'm afraid, unless I'm laying recumbent on the sofa in which case it does obscure the bottom of the picture. As that's my go-to position I might raise the LG up just a tad with some well-placed bits of wood! But you'll probably need a bit of a chunky plank!Thank you, looks great and wow those photos! One more thing when you get a spare min can you measure from the top your stand to the bottom of the bezel.I have a centre speaker (9cm tall) not sure if i am going to get away with it in front of the tv?

Didn’t notice when I watched the uhd disc the other night, could just be Disney + lowered bitrates that caused it.Loving my cx55, but have seen one issue with the picture, very specific though. Has anyone watched rise of skywalker on disney plus on theirs? Its the only time i have seen it and have watched many dark films, but at the end in the very dark scenes there was blocking in the black shadows and grainy lines around those areas. Would clear after a second or so but whenever the scene changed it would happen. Tried it on different picture modes and played around with turning off picture pro etc but was still happening. Just wondered if anyone had experienced similar, or if they could check the film to see if they get the same? As I said only noticed it on rise of skywalker at the end, every other film and xbox games have been fine.
Hi guys. Looking to pull the trigger on the 65” CX immently. But just wondering where are you guys buying yours from?
I'd like to buy some cover for burn in if possible. Which places state they cover for this issue? Any recommendations?
Thanks!
Yeah that was my thinking, i know they removed dolby atmos to reduce load during lockdownDidn’t notice when I watched the uhd disc the other night, could just be Disney + lowered bitrates that caused it.

The 77CX is up, looks great so far, but not had a proper play yet.

Any yellow/magenta/blue tint on your screen mate? Excited to know if this has been improved on the CX, especially on such a large screen as a 77".The 77CX is up, looks great so far, but not had a proper play yet.
Wow the black levels are so good! is this the 48"?There she is. Mmmmmmmmmm look at the contrast on that. Such inky blacks. (Excuse the ancient stand it's sitting on - I'm still using one that came with a Philips 28" CRT about 20 years ago!)
It certainly is. Perfect size for me. Moving up from a 40" backlit LCD (which was actually pretty damned good anyway, with lots microdimming areas), the step to 48" is a big enough jump to make quite a difference And the black levels are amazing, even more so when something bright hits in the same scene and pops out of the screen! The contrast levels are fantastic.Wow the black levels are so good! is this the 48"?
That's good, May I know how far do you sit from the 48"?It certainly is. Perfect size for me.

I'm spending a lot of time playing with all the different settings (God, there are a lot!) trying to find the best configuration for different sources.
Biggest problem I had was it revealing some horrible colour-banding when watching an episode of Devs I'd recorded off Freeview HD (hadn't seen anything similar on previous episodes on my LCD). A smoothing option seems to have fixed that, but I'll have to check it doesn't cause any unwanted side effects. The woes of having a display that's just too good!
With the sky box, if you turn it on first it will then turn on the tv and you won’t get the error message, works ok with sky q.
Sorry, didn’t appreciate that you were using voice.
