Is the x850c a good TV by today's standards?
I found a used x850c on sale for $300 and I was trying to figure out if that is a good deal and whether the 7.8 rating it received is still accurate by today’s standards. Would this still be considered better quality than some of the newer budget TVs like TCL 4series - 6 series or Hisense H8G?

I’m begging you to update the review with the Flat EQ measurement. Lots of people use AutoEQ which pulls from the Rtings database to easily improve their audio, but to fix the reduced bass of Game mode, the preamp has to be set to -11dB which lowers the max volume significantly. A Flat EQ measurement will fix that and make it significantly easier to improve the audio quality for lots of people. I think it’s also a bad practice to not measure the EQ mode that best fits your target curve since that’s the mode that most people would enjoy and thus would be a truer indicator of audio quality.

According to users in the U8G owners thread on avsforum, the TCON update available in firmware L0721 is what fixed the 60Hz ghosting in the HDMI 2.1 ports, but only the 65" has the TCON update at this time.
