My $199 Apple TV can. I care :)

Thank you Ivan 🙏

Yes

Thanks Ivan. Its really challenging to keep getting videos up every week while maintaining quality. Working on finding a balance.

@@ILT_AU You are doing a fab job! You deserve way more subs!

Wow. Thanks man, all the way from Germany. 🇩🇪 I really appreciate that. I’ll be doing some more TV reviews soon. Thanks for your support.

Hey Matthew, what kind of massage chairs? I pretty much have to purchase anything that goes on the channel so depends on how expensive they are.

@@ILT_AU TVs are a big investment, especially high-end ones, and your content really helps inform and educate regular folks like myself. Similarly, a good quality massage chair is also a significant investment. They are pricey, large, and heavy, which means they take up valuable space and are difficult to relocate once set up. Plus, they’re supposed to last a long time. Just looking to get some unbiased information into the different massage chair brands and price range here in Australia, so I'm wondering whether you have plans to introduce a massage chair to your home any time soon, hence trying and comparing them. Or, do you have any previous experience with them that you could share?

Thanks Ivan! Yeah man I’m making an effort to keep regular content coming. Thanks for your support. BTW Ivan, where ru located in Aus?

@@ILT_AU I am in the UK and watching your take from an Australian perspective is a big reason why I enjoy your videos.

Good to be back :)

Hey. Very good question/observation. I doubt it’s the LED strip light on the rear of the TV as I have them on others and a lot of people do without issue. The TVs one connect box was in the cabinet underneath the display. All the other devices like the sync box and receive were a decent distance apart. So unfortunately that was not it.

Never had hands on with the U64 so I can’t tell you. I was happy with the U63 if you can get it on sale.

Yeah I thought I’d love the one connect box but it’s just another box in addition to the TV. I wouldn’t choose it again if it were an option.

Hey Mr.Ivan! It blew my mind that a TV this high-end, failed. Thanks for the feedback as always. I never found any 8K content to enjoy. The box on the PlayStation 5 said 8K, but that was a lie. I found a few Samsung exclusive 8K demos but only using their internal app. Very bad support for 8K. Wouldn’t recommend the jump to 8K. Wouldn’t recommend a 8K Neo-QLED either, it uses so much energy, generates a lot of heat, very heavy to move. My G4 OLED is so much better. Lesson learned.

@@ILT_AU That's really good insight. I have been toying with the idea of making the jump but I'll hold off for now. Do you have any QD-OLEDs or are you still on the fence about it? I bought a Sony A95K about a year ago and I think it is really good even compared to my Sony A80J regular OLED.

I just purchased the LG G4 and I’m very happy with it I have had Sony’s, Samsung’s and LG’s. Out of all of them LG always has the best HDMI CEC implementation. If you have multiple devices like soundbars. receivers. External boxes/consoles. I’d always recommend a LG. I just purchased an 86” LG, cheap, big and nasty for my shed. I’m very happy. No QD-OLEDs for now

@@ILT_AU I'll take a G4 long term review. Lol

What’s your budget? Look I could just be very very unlucky, but the way it dragged out for months really killed my love for Samsung.

@@ILT_AU I live in Fiji so I'd say around $2,000. The 43" CU8000 costs $1,200 and the 50" is $1,899. It does come with a 2 year warranty. I imported the 55" LG C6 from Australia back in 2017. It was the best TV I ever had.

@ILT_AU I live in Fiji, so the 43" CU8000 is all I can afford for now as it's within my budget. It's only $1,299. I've had a Samsung TV before, and it lasted 2 years until the LED backlights died and needed to be replaced. That was kind of my fault as I used to watch content using the dynamic picture mode with max brightness. I'm sure with movie mode, it'll last longer.

​@@rinalsingh1258 i have AU9000 crystal TV Samsung.. nonstop turn ON.. 3 years still counting

​@@rinalsingh1258price in Fiji are insane here in Europe this cost around 500$ ... cu8000 50" 500$

That’s hilarious. No I didn’t win the lotto, I have a well paying job and over the years made some smart decisions with that money. I’m certainly not rich, but I wouldn’t cry poor. Thanks man, I often try to make my videos very chill. I’m going to try a few different things now but I always want to do some quality videos in the mix.

That’s great feedback, thank you. Yeah I definitely intend to review Australian exclusive TVs. The big name brands, no point. USA gets them months before us and by the time we do, there is already a million reviews. So definitely will have more AU TVs. The major issue is I have to buy everything and it gets expensive, fast. Great feedback, thanks so much for the message.

Haha thanks Ivan. Let me know your thoughts

​@@ILT_AUI have now updated my comment 👌

Thanks again for a great response. I appreciate your kind words also. I’m not sure where I could make 15 videos from what I have but please share some ideas. I definitely want to do some high quality videos but I feel I myself, personally need more viewers to make it feel like that much time being injected is worth while. I don’t want to disappear for long periods anymore unless I’m closing shop. Let’s see how things go with what I’m doing now, keep checking in and just be honest with what you see. Thanks Mr.Ivan

@@ILT_AU Not a worry at all. Video ideas. I would like a G4 review after x number of months of owning it and how it compares to what it replaced. A small video on what games you are playing on different platforms would be nice.

Are you a gamer also?

Thanks for the comment. Great information.

Doesn’t change a thing. My atv is directly connected to my 8K receiver. It doesn’t pass through atmos

Hopefully they allow this tvOS 18. I’m hearing whispers they enabled it on the forthcoming sequoia macOS update. Fingers crossed 🤞

Yeah I agree. I do believe it’s the best most versatile box out there. If they enabled pass through. It’s an all in one IMO :)

Come on man, play nice :)

Thank you

Thank you kind sir 👍

You are always the first to communicate. You’re too good to me. Thanks man, things have settled down. I hope to start doing more regular videos.

​@@ILT_AU No worries mate. I absolutely love your content and I know sometimes, life and work. gets in the way 🙂 Looking forward to the G4 review.

Thanks man. I was thinking about the G4 but there are so many reviews on it now. I feel like it would be a waste. My issue is that I often spend so much time on my videos and they barely get looked it. I just got to suck it up I think. Thanks again hey, it’s stuff like your comments that keep me coming back.

@@ILT_AU I would still watch yours for a more consumer (not sponsored) perspective.

@ivantruthkovic I appreciate that. I’ve had a few people reach out to me to do sponsored stuff. I won’t do it unless I can be honest. I reviewed two Hisense TVs, one was a good one was bad. Honest. Now Hisense won’t talk to me because they didn’t like my honest review. lol. I can see how easy it is to just do what you’re told, otherwise no goodies for you. Makes me think a lot of YTers aren’t being truthful.

I sold it man! I wish I kept it lol.

Sounds cool. Projector can never match a solid HDR presentation, TV is always better for gaming.

@@ILT_AU HDR doesn't really mean much in gaming too much. Having smooth motion and and clarity is what's needed. I have tried gaming on some TVs and it's unplayable with blurriness and all that. Sony projectors on game mode, especially the 120hz ones it better than heaps of TVs, minus ultra blacks and of course brights, but is still amazing

@DarrenBoxhall I strongly disagree and I’ll doubt you will find many people that would agree with you that gaming is better on a projector. I have the new 83” G4 OLED and I can tell you now a projector would look silly next to it. But you do you my friend.

@@ILT_AU and I don't know anyone who would go from a high-end projector to a tiny ass 80" tv. I can assure you no one would drop down to a tv after playing on a projector, unless it was a 110" tv.

@DarrenBoxhall ok mate.

No good?

@@ILT_AU Excellent Combination . I have it for 10 Years. First a 5.1 Speaker System from B&W with RX A860. Today a 9.2.4 Speaker System from B&W with RX A6A.

Very nice my friend, very nice. A6A is solid after the new firmware updates.

Nothing like that on my display. Maybe ask if they can replace it? Depending on age

Congrats!

I'm thinking of going into JB hi-fi tomorrow and getting this TV in 55 inch just for my bedroom. Not to dim? Decent TV?

@@steezytweezy3905 It's quite good as long as it's not in direct sunlight.

@@steezytweezy3905 did you get it? if so what do you think of the image quality? I have one and it looks weird at close range, weird pixel patterns like a checkerboard all over peoples faces/surfaces etc
