This is something that happens a lot when people see a proper set that does a good job with HDR. Not all sets are great with HDR. Sets that have low NITS output are not going to be giving that WOW moment. While HDR is better than no HDR, there are a lot of variables and finding out the NITS output while in HDR mode is important info to know how you set will do in HDR.
A proper set with good/great NITS gives that WOW moment you experienced. I have had many friends that think 4k is good, but that is it until they come over and watch a HDR movie, they then have that "WOW" moment you experienced. For me the best HDR games so far have been Forza Horizon 3, Horizon Zero Down & Gears 4. All three of those are fantastic in HDR, but FH3 and HZD are the 2 of the best out there for HDR.

Is HDMI 2.1 worth holding out another year?
Yes the 850E is a 10 bit panel with WCG and HDR. The difference between it and the 900E is local dimming and I think the backlight may be full array on the 900E. Again, I could tell a little difference side by side but not 500 dollars worth. They only make 850E tvs in 65 and 75 inch. The 65 looks great.

Low in TV land is usually around 18 - 30ms, the good ones usually below 25ms in game mode. I've seen people still complain about that being too high but that's already very good to me. Enough for me to even play music rhythm games without problem for example
I don't know about holy grail levels (I have a 65in ks9000). Out of the very limited number of TVs I've used, the Sony Bravia w900a is still what impressed me the most. For 1080p content, it still looks very good and can do some things better than my ks9000.
It's kind of weird. Woke up Friday morning, turned it on there were two little spots like holes or dimples at the top of the screen just beneath the bezel. On a closer look it seemed like something peeled off behind the screen. They cast little shadows over the picture as well.
QLED is a joke. And OLED is becoming more affordable.
I've got the C6 and love it to bits. Everything I throw at it looks amazing and games look incredible. I'd rather have a C7 though, but my next upgrade will come in the form of whatever OLED supports HDMI 2.1 and the dynamic refresh. Can't wait to see how Xbox One X performs on that.

I'll be in the market for a 65-75" OLED towards the end of 2018. My hope is to spend about $3-3.5K. It looks like OLED is dominating everything already.
Quite pleased with it myself. Ultimately the TV is a holdover until an HDMI 2.1 LG OLED (with all the bells and whistles).

Really want OLED but its still way too expensive, going to wait a couple more years

Is it actually true the TCL P-Series has a better picture than the Vizio M-Series? I was looking at one of the Vizio's and was really impressed with it's picture for the price. If the TCL is even better that's really impressive
You are more future proof if you do but we won't see much content really taking advantage till the PS5 and X1 successor come out.
they're extremely comparable sets if you compare the rtings reviews. the TCL P has the edge on input lag and is cheaper though.

Uh, do people not buy 1080p TVs anymore?
How does 1080p content look on 4K sets?

Depending on how far away you sit from your TV the difference can vary between unnoticable and nice upgrade.
4k TVs have better picture quality as basically all high end models are 4k nowdays.
Maybe? The HDMI 2.1 spec isn't even finalized yet so there are no guarantees the 2018 models will have HDMI 2.1. Even then, other devices that connect to your TV need to have HDMI 2.1 as well.

Better than on old 1080p TVs.

Hmm, so what about a 27 inch 4K gaming monitor? Is that a good purchase?

I not agree with the X900E because input lag are too high for multiplayer competitive gaming...
20-25 ms max for multiplayer gaming , not 30+ ...

Not from what ive seen. You're looking at least ps6 generation before consoles push past 4k/60fps (which is the limit of current hdmi). By that time way better tvs will be available

Looks good. Shit only starts becoming ugly once you're fucking with resolutions below 1080p.

Sony has to get through TCL first, in terms of market share you have Samsung, followed by LG, TCL, and then Sony.
Lots of people don't realize how big TCL is, they are huge in Asia and other markets, but in NA they aren't that known since they mainly built tv's under the RCA brand until switching to using their own name in the recent years.
If you are serious about competitive gaming you play on a monitor.

I don't know about 27" 4K gaming monitors but I have 27" 1440p Dell monitor and the scaler in this monitor and TVs are light years apart, looks really jaggy compared to TV, but I think that's the point as monitor is supposed to give the image without any processing.
4K content from PS4 Pro will look good, but everything upscaled from 1080p will look worse on high resolution monitor I'd say.

$3797 on Amazon for a 65 LG C7 right now. God damn that is not cheap. Hopefully Ill be able to get one for 2 grand come clearance time...
Does anyone know if the TCL plays nice with the OSSC?

Anyone have the P607 in 65"? I can't seem to find it anywhere and even the rtings site shows 55 and 65 (seems they only reviewed the 55) but Amazon only shows the 55. And everywhere I look I'm only seeing S series 65 for TCL.
EDIT: guess I just found my answer on cnet reviews
Bummer as I might have impulse bought it today lol

Few 1080p Tv's for sale now and they are far outclassed by high end Sony panels from 2013. So there's tons of enthusiasts like me waiting.
The C7 can do 1080P 120. 4k max is 60. That's a HDMI 2.0 limitation though. If you want 4k120 then you need to wait for HDMI 2.1.
There is a list of 1080P120 sets here:
http://www.rtings.com/tv/reviews/best/by-usage/pc-monitor
I don't see a 65 inch Vizio P series ever going that cheap unless it falls off the back of a truck first.
4k120 would require a ridiculous amount of power. Currently on a 1440p monitor but I'm fine with 1080p, that just makes reaching 120fps a bit easier. Thanks for the answer.
You should. That's a phenomenal TV.
I was planning on looking for a C6 or even a C7 this year, but have been so impressed with this P605, I've decided to keep it until hdmi 2.1 arrives.
If someone wants to use 4K set as PC monitor, in addition to 1080p120 mode, those panels can also be easily setup to playback ultra wide 3440x1440 resolution in 1:1 pixel ratio.
HDMI 2.1 specs bumps the cable from 18gbits to 48gbits, with up to 3x compression [144 Gbit/s max theoretical speed] which will enable up to 10K120 in 4:2:0. 10K60 4:4:4 with 24bit color is confirmed though.
Interesting. I have noticed a slight lip sync issue from time to time on some content but it seems to vary and is only there if I look for it. Are you finding this on all content you watch?

Most of the TVs they list are unavailable at Amazon.ca. It's always like this. Always.
Rtings crew buys their TVs from US, and then they bring them into Canada via car.
