That is an awful take and what too many on this board buy into. This is what the Bills have done for at least the last 14 years; get the QB and the rest falls into place....

No problem man - would be happy to check it out for you. Honestly I figured the issue might simply be the difference between X and X1 extreme and a 930/940 would show it differently. I also thought that the dimming might be causing an issue, but that doesn't appear to be the case. I'm very curious and hopeful that I can see what you are talking about. I can say this my z9d doesn't seem to have any issues with sports. I wonder if you go to best buy if you can get on you tube on the floor models they have out and experiment there? Did you check to see if you have the cinemotion/motionflow on & if so, what settings - I wonder if that might be causing some issues? Personally I hate the Soap Opera Effect and keep these set to low. For instance Motionflow I have set to true cinema with smoothness @ min and clearness @ 1 & cinemotion is set to low. Ok so I looked it u & it looks like cinemotion might be the culprit with ghosting most people seem to have it set at medium,but if there are ghosting issues they turn it down to low....

Oh...You got me there...

The problem is you both now see this forever....I did check on youtube at least and have no such issues on this set fwiw...I'm watching the Steelers Ravens reply on NFLN from this season, looks picture perfect....no ball tracking issues or bloom/haloing at all...

Thanks!

How does it look?

Yeah, with TT as a QB you tend to forget about WRs...except when you see the injury report of course!

TT can't teach any rookie QB anything... Well, maybe how to dress, he does have a penchant for winning best dressed player before the games from the Bills website...

??Michael‏ @manecci 10m10 minutes ago Jordan Matthews on NFL Radio and it sounds like he & the Bills are moving on from each other. Spoke incredibly high about Sean McDermott though.

SF, he is going to SF.... A hunch of course, but I am sure it would be nice to give Jimmy a shiny new WR - and they have a shitload of money under the cap...

Well played!

You nailed this! Great Post!

I'd take him over TT

Technically we passed on Watson & Mahomes as well... Also @Badolbilz has the best method on choosing what positions you should target each round....

For some it is....

Joe is a bit long in the tooth now

LOL I forgot about over there as well! It's very easy to use, you put the BluRay in and it shows you test patterns for red, blue, green, white black , gamma etc. and tells you what you should be able to see. This green box should be the same color as this green box, repeat with red, blue; the white should look like this, etc. It will help dial in the colors, brightness and such so you can calibrate it close enough without having to spend a **** ton of money on a professional calibration set up. Very easy...

I hear you man, I was freaking out spending $$$$ like this. Still can't believe what I plunked down, but I don't regret it at all... I also recommend this (I can lend it to you btw): https://www.amazon.com/Spears-Munsil-Benchmark-Calibration-Disc/dp/B00CKWI13O I am assuming Lancaster, CA -if so and you want to take a trip down the 5 to LA you can come look and check out mine....If it's PA, well that is a bit of a drive

He's older and has a decent cap hit, clear the old guys and cap space up. By the time we try to make a run, he will be a shell of his former self...get value while we can

Especially if you don't give up too many picks in next year's draft or are able to swing a few trades to get next year's picks back. If the QB blows, it is only 1 bad draft

I looked at everything for a month and a half before I pulled the trigger and really focused on what I could live with and what I couldn't live with...Going into this I was focused on an OLED (wanted one for a few years) since I knew blooming & halos would drive me crazy. Once I started looking the Z9 won. I was intrigued by the 930e/940e; but they weren't upgrades from the Z9. With the A1, there was no way I was waiting until it was released... Btw -What city do you live in?

Glenn & Hughes and the 2 firsts and a 2nd next year...buh bye

That's some Eagle's level stuff with Foles - impressive indeed Nope

I'm not even going to read through this, he built and took 3 different teams to the superbowl - best GM ever...

Sorry for the wall of text Wow no ****. You are going down a rabbit hole that drove me to spending a ton of money and saying - F it. This is one area where I did spend quite a bit of time looking at between OLED and the LED/LCD sets. All sets and technology have their own problems right now - there is nothing perfected yet; so it comes down to what is "right" (you can live with) for you. Motion on the LG OLEDs are not as good and they aren't nearly as bright as the LED/LCD sets, which takes away from HDR a bit IMO and watching when the sun is out (My TV is in a living room and not a cave). The positive is that there is zero blooming and haloing (which is what you are seeing) and the deep blacks are well black as black can be. With the local dimming or FALD on the LED/LCDs you will have haloing/blooming going on and that is based on the number of zones you have, but man is the picture way brighter and more stunning IMO. They key is the number of zones which helps reduce this issue and why I felt comfortable with a Z9 over every other non-OLED TV as you will see below. Forbes review of the 900e: https://www.forbes.com/sites/johnarcher/2017/05/08/sony-xbr-65x900e-kd-65xe9005-4k-tv-review-great-pictures-without-breaking-the-bank/#4fbd772313e6 In fact, Sony’s new X900E range (known as the XE9005 range in the UK) goes further than just using a direct LED lighting system; it also offers local dimming, where 20 separate LED zones can output different light levels independently of each other, to suit the demands of the picture. Admittedly 20 is far from a ground-breaking number of dimming zones by today’s standards. But it’s better than nothing and, as we’ll see, it’s enough to help the 65-inch 65X900E we’re looking at here deliver a mostly very impressive picture. As you’d expect these days, the 65X900E partners its direct-lighting with high dynamic range (HDR) capabilities and a native 4K resolution, while picture processing comes courtesy of Sony’s previously impressive X1 chipset. This chipset is not as powerful as the X1 Extreme one found in Sony’s step-up X930E, Z9D and OLED A1E models; it doesn’t carry a dual database system for improved HD-to-4K upscaling, and can’t have Dolby Vision HDR support added via a future firmware update. It’s still, though, got more going on than most TV processing systems. In particular, it drives the local dimming system; Sony’s Triluminos technology for delivering a wider and more subtle color range; and Sony’s Super Bit Mapping feature for tackling HDR color banding problems. To be clear, faint backlight haloing can appear for a good few centimeters around the most extreme bright highlights (there are only 20 dimming zones, after all). Occasionally, too, this light blooming distractingly encroaches into the black bars you get above and below very wide aspect ratio images, and it also becomes far more pronounced if you have to watch the image from a viewing angle of more than around 25 degrees. Rtings on local dimming: The local dimming feature is average on the Sony X900E. When set side by side with last year X930D, it is clearly an upgrade visually, and we recommend it for normal viewing. When set to maximum it can sometimes feel a bit aggressive. If you visually see that it too aggressive, you can set it to medium or low. https://www.rtings.com/tv/reviews/sony/x900e For comparison here is the 930e forbes review: https://www.forbes.com/sites/johnarcher/2017/02/28/sony-xbr-55x930e-kdl-55xe9305-4k-tv-review-blaze-of-glory/#47d46d6e42f1 Rtings on local dimming: The local dimming feature of the X930E works surprisingly well for an edge-lit TV. Blooming still happens when there is a very bright highlight, but it looks much better than on the 2016 X930D when compared side by side, even though the X930E is much brighter. The local dimming reacts really fast and you don't really see the changing of zones when the small white dot is moving fast. When compared to the X900E, a full array backlight TV with local dimming, the X930E local dimming feels more refined and in the end, the result looks a bit better. https://www.rtings.com/tv/reviews/sony/x900e and finally the z9d Consumer Reports: The big question for Consumer Reports: Would this $6,000 LCD TV beat out the half-dozen LG OLED models that currently top Consumer Reports TV ratings? After completing our full testing of the 65-inch Sony XBR-65Z9D, we can say that it's among the best TVs we've ever tested. All LCD TVs require a separate backlight, which uses LEDs to illuminate the pixels in the screen. And there's always a certain amount of light leaking from the backlight. This can result in uneven brightness across the screen, and black tones that look somewhat gray. Many LCD TVs these days try to improve their blacks by offering degrees of local dimming, which can dim or brighten groups of LEDs in the backlight. Sony's new Backlight Master Drive technology takes this a step further. First, the Z-series models use a full-array backlight, with LEDs arranged across the entire back panel of the TV. That's different from most TVs, which use edge LED backlights, where the LEDs are placed along the sides or across the top and/or bottom of the TV. Full-array backlights are also used in some other premium sets, including the Sony X940D-series models, the Samsung flagship KS9800-series sets, and many Vizio models. What happens next is the unique part. In Sony's Backlight Master Drive, every single one of the LEDs can be controlled separately. Just about every other LCD TV we've ever tested groups a number of LEDs into a zone that can be dimmed or illuminated. Sony says it uses more LEDs than its competitors (it won't reveal how many), and each of the LEDs has a more precise, narrowly focused beam. That allows for brighter images and less light leakage, so there is less "blooming"—the halolike effect you often see around brighter images on TVs that use local dimming. When it comes to black levels, Sony is trying to compete with OLED TVs, which use a different technology. These TVs have pixels that give off their own light. Each pixel in an OLED TV can be shut off, so you get nearly perfect blacks—a nighttime sky or shadowy corner can look much inkier and more realistic than what you'd see on a typical LCD. https://www.consumerreports.org/lcd-led-oled-tvs/is-the-6000-dollar-sony-tv-really-a-tech-breakthrough/ Rtings Local Dimming: The Sony Z9D has an excellent local dimming feature. In fact it is one of the best that we have tested yet, as it easily outperformed the Vizio P Series 2016 in a side by side comparison, which was the LED TV with the highest local dimming score in 2016. The large number of dimming zones really sets the Z9D apart from other local dimming TVs, as blooming is very limited, even when a very bright highlight is displayed on the screen. The reaction time is also very fast, as the zone transitions are smooth when following the moving highlight in our test video. https://www.rtings.com/tv/reviews/sony/z9d (My note if you look around there is no real number for the number of zones in the z9d- many claim somewhere over 700 and a bit past 1,000) Forbes review: https://www.forbes.com/sites/johnarcher/2016/09/30/sony-xbr-65z9d-kd-65zd9-review-tv-of-the-year/#7d54549b65c9 Check out 10k's post when he calibrated the tv in this thread: http://www.avsforum.com/forum/166-lcd-flat-panel-displays/2545769-official-sony-xbr-65z9d-owner-s-thread-no-price-talk-please-88.html With the z9 there are 4-4k HDMI inputs, but only 2 support HDR (Which is fine (My Oppo and my PS4 Pro)...Sunday Ticket through the PS4 Pro on this set was amazing...
