Is the brightness limited on the UK TV's like some are reporting it is in Europe due to power limits? Is this why nits are not referred to and instead it's "HDR" 3500,5000 etc. Sounds like it's not but would be good to explicitly clarify. Can't wait to get a 98 c855!!!

[@spacemanwho]

are we getting the 98X955 in the UK or will we only get the 98C855? thanks

[@j41Lbr3ak3r]

Will you do a full review of the C855, when?

[@Oldschoolgamerdad]

Can someone please explain if the C955 does anything better than the C855? Or is a C855 an upgraded C955 on all fields? It seems so strange if so. I am on the trigger of the C955 but now I am unsure what to do.

[@jakobbode18]

i would wait for the price comes down for the x 955 😉

[@jakobbode18]

the c955 has a better soundsystem , the new AiPQ PROCESSOR 3.0,included ultraslim wallmount in the tv box

[@Oldschoolgamerdad]

I thought the C855 had a newer processor?

[@Oldschoolgamerdad]

Yea would want the X955 but it's twice the price even on "half price" sale here atm 😐 C855 is approx 5.5k dollars, C955 3.5k and X955 7.5k. (C955 and X955 are about 50% sale atm with thoose prices compared to what they are normally sold for).
