That seems like the best option.

Any of you guys have experience with third party warranty providers like onsitego, Bajaj etc. I can only seem to find bad review online but idk if that's because of the service being really bad for 100% of the time or because we are more likely to find a bad review online

Nothing compares to OEM warranty, better wait for 3 years warranty scheme to come again.
I have had a bad experience with onsitego for our ACs. I would have taken third-party as insurance just in case, even if I had to fight with them, but since the option of OEM warranty might be available, I'll suggest waiting. If not, then get the cheapest third party one you can get.

As per my understanding during diwali the 3 years warranty includes labour only in the 1st year. Remaining two years you get for parts. If you buy now you will get one year labour and one year for panel. If this is not enough you need to wait till they give this offer
I checked the side by side of B9 and C9 in rtings almost same except brightness in HDR and some banding (hope this is not an issue) visible, so B9 is good I'm thinking. Yes I too love the pc gaming experience, right now loving sekiro at 60 fps on a 1650.
Decided on 65 for now, Budget audio is it good? can I get a really good a get 2.1 active speakers will check out edifier, cause I'm not much aware of the latest HT systems as I had a old onkyo receiver with a 5.1 jamo speakers. I can create a new thread in the HT forum if this is not relevant here but need some help with choosing good speakers and a receiver post getting my B9.

thanks for the info will surely check any idea on how good vijay sales are? in terms of delivering a good new (unused) tv and post service
Go for B9. It's great too. OLED after all. You'll love it.
I have an Edifier soundbar, and it sounds good enough for my small bedroom. Audio depends really on your expectations and past equipments. I couldn't fit bookshelf speakers, otherwise I would have gotten Edifier S880DB. Bass is also something that differs. Now 55-60 Hz is good enough for me. Any lower and my neighbors would complain as sub-bass is tough to control or absorb. Many others would not be happy with that. They want their subwoofer.
I did some room treatment too. I spent 11k on that, but only 8k on the soundbar. Lol. Small room sounded bright and yet boomy. Had to control it a bit at least. Much better after treatment.
Also, I'm somewhat of an outlier. I'm not really sold on surround sound and Atmos either. In theaters, I find it distracting, especially when it comes from behind. My dream setup, which will happen once we move to a bigger place, is a 77 inch OLED with two good, clean sounding bookshelf speakers next to the TV for a wide soundstage with extreme toe-in for a wider phantom center and better off-axus performance. I'm not sold on 3.0 setups either. I also prefer a clean looking setup with minimum wire visibility or those wire hiding channels that people use. I don't like them.
Anyway, I'm no audio expert. I have some radical thoughts too. So please go and ask more people. Research well. This is half of the fun. Enjoy!

I bought from Vijay Sales only. No issues. Just be cautious. Store to store variance can be there.
Thanks bro, will definitely research well, interesting to know about speaker toe-in, yes learning that even a good 2.1 can replace a 5.1 system tooGo for B9. It's great too. OLED after all. You'll love it.

Hello guys. New to the forum.
After a lot of deliberation we have decided to get a 77" OLED. We were originally considering 65" but eventually decided on 77" despite the potentially ridiculous pricing.
The last quote from one Reliance Digital was 7L for the C9. I am wondering if a price closer to say 5.5L is possible.

Which part of Chennai are you from? I recently purchased C9 65 inch and the same show room may give additional discount. 77 has a mrp of 11L and 7L seems a fair discount. Getting it for 5.5 may be very difficult

The 55" sells for 1.25 +- 5%
65" for 2.0 +- 10%
77" has a sticker price of 11.0
I understand the complexity of producing larger panels (unlike Plasma panels), but this is atrocious!!

77" is a completely different segment of TV. You can see its video.The 55" sells for 1.25 +- 5%
65" for 2.0 +- 10%
77" has a sticker price of 11.0
I understand the complexity of producing larger panels (unlike Plasma panels), but this is atrocious!!
In India the price is more than twice as much. In a couple of years, as production ramps up, price should normalize for 77 inch here too.

The 77 inch is retailing for $4,000 in US. That's about 3 lacs. Maybe in the next few years as the production in the new factory ramps up and they have more 77 inch panels being made, India will see significant price drops.
After the post above on 77 (btw all the best for your purchase) this is going to be a step down literally @Marakk and few others too helped drill some Home Theater logic into me with the 65, 55 debate; but still as an Indian average consumer price to size ratio make me rethink again and again. Attaching here couple of images of my living with the 55 marked red outline and 65 marked in green outline. First image (TV1) from the real sitting distance and angle (taken from sitting at the sofa) and the next image (TV2) standing up close to wall to just show the wall size / ratio to the tv sizes. here I go again
- For this wall size and ratio 55 still felt ok
- but from the sofa (viewing distance) obviously 65 looks more better
reason I'm coming down to this is the 65 inch availability of B9 here not that common been searching with couple of showrooms across pune.... and 65 C9 (1.9L) literally is out of my league
In a dilema again..... but still the 65 inches reasoning by few others above stands true.... bigger the better, don't I'm a bit confused now.... lol

IMO for tv till 65 inch is ok beyond that you should plan projector

65 will fit better here. Save more for 6 months if possible and then get the 65" C9 when prices drop in June/July? Or you can get the %% inch one now and move the couch forward towards the wall if the layout allows.
Anyway, considering that you'll be moving upwards from a much smaller TV, it's going be an amazing upgrade either way, even if not ideal. I have a 55 inch one as I couldn't fit in a 65 inch one. Is it ideal? No. Does it still offer an amazing viewing experience....yes!!
yeah bro 65 is ideal
, btw just an update, I'm getting a 65 GX655 panasonic from vijay sales, which is not comparable to a OLED but with vivid color pro and Dolby vision and HDR (I guess this better than that 65 4k from Sanyo), btw how much is the best rate for a 65 Q80 or a 65 Q90 from Samsung heremeanwhile trying to reach out to few more sellers here for B9 65, reliance guys say B9 production has been stopped from LG and the few units that any sellers might have might be older unsold ones or probably defected ones and any issues it will be difficult to get a replacement for B9 as production is stopped is this true
