Hey everyone! No joke, these are some of the best comments I’ve seen in a while. I especially love all the folks weighing in on Ben’s question. I love the community we’ve got going here. 9 out of 10 comments are positive and helpful. Let’s keep it that way! Much love to all of you. I’m so grateful, you have no idea! ❤❤❤
What about the Q9FN it’s a 20 18 model I wasn’t planning on upgrading for awhile now how ever I don’t think from 20 to 23 is much different of what I have now Of my 2018 Q9FN and you are right about the signal broadcast its not the Tv I feel I shouldn’t upgrade just yet or do you think 🤔 I should upgrade for a better model Samsung’s tv in your opinion
Great job Caleb! Love watching your content. Got my cousin and brother turn onto your channel. I never ever got my display calibrated, and never met any one who did. Just wanted to let you know. Thanks. FYI, love the sweatshirt!
❤😂😊😊😊😊😊

Here's THE Problem: VARIANCE in panels.....period. And the answer? SONY should begin making their own and standardize them to a SONY standard. Cost? I have no idea. Thoughts Caleb? Thanks!
"I'd like to keep the screen size small. Under 55 inches." The times we live in!
IKR?
As for a TV under 55” that will last for 15 years that performs well. Go with an OLED. I have an LG B6 from 2014. It has over 36,600+ hours of use. I’m retired and that TV goes on in the morning with my first cup of coffee and doesn’t go off till I go to bed, unless I go out which isn’t often as I’m physically a mess. It looks just as good as the day I bought it. Now I don’t know how many hours you watch per day but I’m guessing you don’t come anywhere close to my usage case. That 36,600 + adds up to slightly of 12 years of 8 hours per day of use. Just my two cents worth of info. Good luck in your endeavor.
Great TV and epic longevity! I got bored of the disconnect between real life and the negativity in politics and TV. So I stopped watching TV about 4 years ago with the side effect that I got in best bodily and mental shape ever. (50 years now)
@Harrythehun I’ve got some years on ya but yeah, I avoid politics as well. No amount of lies will change my mind as far as that goes. If I’m not watching a movie it’s the science channel or the history channel or UA-cam. Retirement is good!
Caleb, SUCH an excellent explanation of presets and calibration and the reasons one might want to calibrate their TV!
A comparison between the X95L and an OLED would be great! I'm sure like myself, many people are in the same boat in trying to decide between the two
the oled is better. none of the LED screens beat any of the OLEDs in the recent TV shoot out.
I went to Best Buy and was able to compare the Sony A80L side by side with X93L (about the same price) and thought A80L OLED was easily better. And the "viewing angle" was FAR better. They also have just about every SONY available so look at the others if you have more money to spend. Good luck!
Why does Digital Trends Content look and sound so darn GOOD ?????
Nothing special
@@conrado800look! We found the person that’s extra fun at parties! Lol
New studio... Really did get their money's worth.
Its because of color grading, Studio lights and an good editor

Your compression issue I solved with Hisense 7h with next gen receiver the Sunday football is crisp and clear with surround sound. Please talk more about over the air television . Great job!
Thank you for shedding light on the degraded signal received from traditional cable. 2 days prior to this video I had a huge aha moment when I noticed the difference in picture quality from watching an episode of the Golden Bachelor (don't judge) recorded on my xfinity DVR and streaming it from Hulu. It was a dramatic difference, far sharper streamed from Hulu. It made so much sense.
I love this anecdote! Thanks for sharing!
Great commentary about calibration!
Caleb teasing us with the Sony A95L clips ;)
Hope the review is soon!
Great questions and great answers!
Where’s the A95L review 😑 That’s the only thing I’m interested in right now
Another problem with sports is that you need variable-rate compression. I say this as a person who took out a US patent on the DASH streaming protocol for just improving sports playback bitrates. I was watching cycling event in 2011, and it was switching between the in-studio commentator and the cyclists pedaling their bikes. In-studio the announcer was crystal clear - too clear, actually. On the bike, the spinning chainwheel was a blocky mess. They actually needed to reduce the compression of in-studio video and save the extra bandwidth to do less compression on the bike shots. Most TV systems today probably can't do this in real-time for a live broadcast, but for a pre-recorded event a good video mastering engineer can do it with a few hours of patience to perfect the compressed video.
I bought a SONY 55 inch X80CK last month for $399 at Sams Club.
Nvidia needs to update the shield with “super resolution” been really impressed by how well it works even going from 480p to 4k.
I think as time goes on resolution as whole over fps won't matter. Most people on average can't really tell the difference between 1400p vs native 4k. Upscaling on top of AI in the not too distant future will definitely fix that. I'm personally am more blown away by DLSS more than anything else. This might even be a massively huge game changer for even Nintendo's next version of the Switch which strongly more than rumored to be using a custom Nvidia chip which could support DLSS. Which is exclusive to Nvidia it's self.
They need a whole new unit I have the pro model since lunch and it’s dated
I’ve clickity clicked :) I don’t often comment on videos but I just wanted to say the quality of your videos and their content are great and noticeably improving over the years - I’m kind of shocked that viewership is down (I guess partially due to cost of living pressures and the pandemic?) - as an audience member I watch your content for value for money purchases that are only semi-impulse buys 😅
Keep up the great work :) I hope you start getting the sort of viewership numbers I saw 8 years ago!
Another really fun and friendly Q&A with Caleb!! Very nice content!
Another friendly comment from LeezahB! Appreciate you, Leezah!
@@Caleb_Denison thank you!!! Appreciate YOU and this comment more than you know!!🥰
I got curious about the compression effect on sports' smoothness. Would be possible and would make sense to show us the difference. For example, compare a fast motion sequence with no compression and the same sequence with the compression normally used in broadcast. Thank you for the amazing content you guys in DT provide.
Would be interesting to find a source with no compression!
The compression comes from the broadcasters. You wouldn't be able to find the same content both ways.
@Berto2K Could we simulate it? We'd get our own shots and then compress it and compare. Maybe is not worth the effort since maybe the results could not be comparable to broadcast.
I’m struggling to find a way to reproduce this, since the video you would watch would itself be heavily compressed. I tend to think it would have to be a simulation, one which would be impervious to the compression applied by UA-cam, even for UA-cam premium subscribers.
Loving these vids 👍🏾
Thanks! I’ll keep making them!
Re TV calibration, having worked all my life as a A/V tech i have seen some realy bad samples
of how the factory settings do the TV's no favours.
You get what you pay for most of the time, my advice is that if like me you are a perfectionist
stick with Sony, as Caleb has said, they get the settings as close as you can expect leaving you
the choice of tweaking them or paying for a full calibration.
Be careful who you choose to do a calibration, i have seen some sets that have looked way off
after an inexperienced calibrator has made a mess of the settings.
I have the feeling TV calibration by 90% of guys doing it is a high cost scam because there are so few people doing it and ZERO standards in that line of work.
You are correct, anyone can buy the equipment required and with no training or experience
call themselves a "Calibrator" and charge for making your TV worse.
This is why i advise people to buy a Sony that i have enough experience of to be sure that it
will be good enough without wasting money on calibration.@@steveludwig4200
This is why I have suggested multiple times to START with a calibrator who is ISF certified. That is not a guarantee of excellent work, but it is a good starting point. And from there, customer reviews, and other endorsements are a good way to feel confident in a calibrator’s expertise.
@@Caleb_Denison Thanks. I'll be fine with a SONY with great out of the box performance.
Hi caleb, 2 questions:
1. Why did you put an emoji over one of the sony TV's referenced during the discussion on calibration? Was it an older model?
2. Is there a timefraime that calibration is mist impactful? I.e. should you calibrate a TV straight away or can you still calibrate after a year or two of general use?
Thanks for your feedback. Loving your content here in Australia
That emoji was just us having a little fun. A tease, if you will, for everyone who is anxious for the A95L review. That’s the A95L in those shots! Also, you can calibrate a TV any time. There is some debate about whether a calibration AFTER a break-in (run-in) period is advisable. I’m just not ready to jump into that debate just yet.
Nice hoodie Caleb greetings from Ecuador 🇪🇨
For those of you suffering from poor sports image, sometimes something as simple as an old school antenna can help you get the best picture. Broadcast TV is the source with the least compression and no cable or internet middleman manipulating and compressing the signal even more. If it's possible, put that digital tuner to good use and get yourself a good uhf antenna. There are way more channels than there used to be for free. A good antenna could cost you less than a month of cable.
There are hundreds of antennas, how do you know what is a good one?
@@HermannTheGreatthe antenna guy, look him up.
its a digital signal, if your tv creates an image from the signal, you got a good one. I only tested 3 but all 3 performed equally well for my location outside of D.C.@@HermannTheGreat
Even using an OTA antenna, the sports seem compressed. It may improve greatly with nextGen TV but there is only ATSC 1.0 available in my area.
I still recommend getting an antenna. I spent about $100 on mine from a recommendation from the Antenna Guy. I just think my local stations in the Augusta GA area are not the best quality signal, particularly my NBC and CBS. There is a lot of blocky artifacts watching football. I will say they were at least 20% worse when I was streaming, though.
Hi Caleb,
I have a question for you: the LG 55B3 and 55QNED85 are both 999 right now. By comparison, the Sony X90L is 1099. Of those three what is your favorite set? I’m really leaning towards the B3 but a little scared to buy the “budget model” while these high end non-OLED model are on sale
My Samsung 52” LED (red bezel model) which still looks amazing is 20 years old and going strong. I may replace it in a few years only because I want a larger screen size.
In regards to the poor picture quality/compressed data part of the video. I don't know if it's still this way or not, but OTA HD programming is/was damn near bluray quality because they don't limit the bandwith with OTA like they do in other formats.
Brilliantly answered the first one, I’ve been wondering about the same for my only Sony mid range TV’s. Greetings from Peru Caleb, keep up with the excellent job. ✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻
I mean Lima, Peru, South America…🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻✨✨✨
Wow! Thanks so much! Much love to all my friends in Peru!
I wish these tvs had a multiple split screen demo to show all tv modes at once with images that you can choose from. Cause it woukd really help
Great info.
Love your informative channel.♥️
Subscribing.
I love this! Thanks! ❤❤❤ 🎉🎉🎉
Question: My preferred video source is a PC for it's ability to stream from a browser with ad & pop-up blocking extensions. Does this mean I have to forgo any & all picture processing, like AI up-scaling? Thank you,
7:53 - recently watched the USA vs. Germany match on TV, which was held in the US, and DAMN that signal was dog water, compared to our channels over here.
The question about best TV for sports got me thinking. I use 4k fire sticks and a fire cube for my streaming provider (usually 720p content). So where is the upscaling and smoothing taking place? On the fire devices or the TV or both. I'm guessing that the upscaling to 4k is done on the fire devices then the TV does its best to smooth out the action? Any thoughts?
Sony X85K or Hisense U7K?
What do you think about the tcl q6 Google tv 75"
I am thinking about getting it. I have an old sharp 75" 1080p what do you recommend 🤔
Hello. Looking at new samsung tv in the 65" range. What's the difference between qled and led?
Hey Caleb any chance you’d be willing to review the Samsung S90C. I’d love to hear your thoughts on it
Thanks!
Are HD Blu-rays being fed through a 4K Blu-ray player (let say a sony UBP x700) with upscaling going to be the same quality as if I stream the same movie in 4K on a Apple TV 4K through Netflix, Disney + or one of the other streaming services? And if not, same question with UHD Blu-ray’s. The TV is a 4K OLED LG CX.
Is it still worth getting UHD Blu-rays or Am I getting the same experience by buying a 4K digital version of the movie?
Hi, I am from South Africa and wanted to buy the TCL QM8, however this particular model is not available here. What we did receive here is the TCL C845 which is a close match but with less dimming zones. Are you able to provide some insight on the C845 as this is my preferred choice bar the Hisense U8K which is also available here. P.S I am an avid follower of your channel and appreciate your attention to detail with all your reviews. Hope to hear from you soon.
You mentioned you will do a model numbers comparison between US and UK / EU model numbers. Eg U8K QM8 etc equivalents. I think you mentioned you where hoping to get to it in October. Hopefully its still on the way 🤞
Thanks Caleb for answering my question... though I did see your hisense review and love the recommendation keep up the good work
So I’m upgrading from a 2021 Model (Roku) TCL 6-series. I’m torn on whether to stick with TCL or switch to Hisense. I’m leaning to the Hisense U7K because my local Best Buy is having a $150 off deal for a new total of $479.99. That’s really hard to beat.
How does the X95L compare to the A95L?
Looking forward to that Sony A😉 review!
Definitely like the nit nerds nation merch too.
That discussion about signal compression is a great argument for physical media! Everyone wants the latest and greatest and then we get crappy sources over streaming. Physical media is still the best source for film.
I saw the Kef Q 950 or Q750 in your backround. Is there a review coming ? 11:13
If i have a samsung s90c tv and a samsung q990c soundbar. Should i connect a streaming device (apple tv 4k 128gb) to the tv or soundbar for best results? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
What’s a solid budget 75 inch ips panel? I want something with good viewing angles
Sony a95l review ?
Thank u for sharing this vedio
Great segment! I’m in the same situation as the last question-asker (premium, longer lasting, smaller tv) except I am able to consider the 55” range. Only thing is, the abundance of choice is immobilizing! 😂
choice begets confusion, yes. Go to a shop, get them to play some of your mkvs or bluray discs and watch 4-5 TVs you have short listed side by side to make your decision. Forget, rather avoid the reviewers and their reviews whatever good or bad they have to say about your selection. You'll be good with your choice. I bought Samsung The Frame 2023 model which many reviewers said bad things about it like it's crappy picture. Believe me, I own it and the picture is no short of outstanding with its 0 reflective matt screen. Believe in your own eye & judgement than depend on some else's.
When are you going to do a review on the 2nd generation Samsung freestyle projector.?
9:45 Reliability is a concern for me too.
Especially, after my Philips 55" TV (with full-array local dimming) died on me after just 7 years.
The lesson I learned the hard way is to check the operation range for both temperature and humidity.
If that range is too short, simply ignore that TV.
Moreover, avoid low-end / budget offerings, as they had to cut many corners in order to get to that price.
Additionally, I tend to prefer LG's software, as it is lighter on the hardware.
I would prefer a "dumb" TV, but it seems that there is no such thing these days.
Hence, I chose a TV with (a) the most years of software updates, and (b) the lightest software.
Even if I lose compatibility with the common applications, the TV will still be a good panel to show my set-top-box - which is the most important role of a TV: to make video look good.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge on TVs I need your expertise can you please recommend a smart set at 55 inches at around $500-$600. Don't care about the latest greatest just a good set for average viewing no gaming .
I want to "cut the cord" Thanks for your help have a great week. Rob
Honestly for my current living situation It's not so much the size(which 55 may be pushing the limit but probably doable) it's the leg spacing cause leg space on tvs are so damn wide. Unless I will have to buy a 3rd party stand with lots of screws. I miss when tvs had their own center stand.
Hey look up those TALL metal tv stand. I have 2 of thoes self standing ones in white color. They blend into the wall, on skinny stern metal beam/pole. Like insane insane quality. :)
Go into the menu in your cable box and make sure it is outputting at 1080p...It way easier to uspscale 1080p than the stock setting of 720p. Your tv picture should look WAY better just doing that alone... Other than that try to dial in sports mode on your tv to get the best picture...
The best budget 4k 55 inch tv right now in my opinion are the Hisense u7k and the TCL Q7.
I'm still using everyday most of the time 24 hours a day my Sharp AQUOS Quattron 70". That TV not only works but still looks great.
Same one I have- thing is still running strong!
Hi I'm in uki bought my son hisense a7hqtuk 50 inch last year but am now looking to upgrade would like to stick with hisense but not sure what would be a upgrade as bought this on sale for £380 so not sure what original price was I see tv' s hisense for under £600 but not sure if is actually an upgrade to what he already has. He also uses it a lot for gaming
The guy looking for an under 55" TV should just go for a 55" model since they are in reality a little smaller than 55" diagonal screen anyway! I got the last high end Sony TV that was available
no wonder you want to force 55 inch TV down customer's throat and not listen to the customer 's real requirement. Just because you really have no solution to his requirement, you like a cunning salesman want to influence customer to buy what you want them to buy.
Do you intend to review the lg pose?
Question: why is it that the UA-cam community solely focused on the flash ship TV’s am sure if everyone does the same content the views will be lower, I have been trying to find a comparison between the b3 and the C2 or the B3 vs the C3 these videos does not exist , I just had to follow fomo’s advise which is buy bigger if the price is the same so I bought the 65” b3 over the 55” C2. What do you think is the reason for the lack of this type of content, is it because it doesn’t match the UA-cam algorithm or is it because big television channels such as yours, stop the fomo, be the installer etc. doesn’t review these TVs (( which would affect the algorithm))
Love the videos by the why, big up from Jamaica.
Hello Caleb! Thanks for the video. Does sports broadcast compression also apply when I'm watching Baseball, Football, or basketball via OTA ATSC 3.0 signal from any of the national TV networks like NBC, ABC, CBS, or Fox?
OTA broadcasts are generally better than cable and satellite. What you need to keep in mind with your local channels is the number of sub channels in SD. The more there are the more bandwidth it takes away from the prime channel in HD.
As for ATSC 3.0, it's been an absolute xxxx show in how it's getting rolled out. As of now there doesn't seem to be any advantage over ATSC 1.0 and when broadcasters do take advantage of the higher bandwidth (4K / HDR) it sound like they're going to monetized it.
I don’t know Johnb4905, but his reply is 100 percent accurate. Kind of thinking maybe sharing this info would be good for the next episode?
Is 4k on an OLED any different than 4k on a qled TV? Is 4k always 4k, no matter what you watch 4k content on? I have a 4year old TCL R617 and still love it. Will an upgrade new TV improve my 4k experience? Thanks, love your content and watch every episode.
The subpixel structure on qd OLED is arranged differently in a triangle formation. Who can cause some color fringing which can be a negative if you notice it. Otherwise yeah 4k is generally always 4k
One other thought for Ben. By the time you account for the huge bezels on his 15 year old 40”Toshiba, the size difference isn’t that dramatic. I looked up an older 40” Toshiba’s dimensions and compared them to a 55” Sony X90L and the height difference is only about 3” and the width is about an 8” difference.
I am frustrated I didn’t include this very valid point in my narrative. I speak to this all the time! When folks are talking about upgrading from an old TV I usually ask them how much physical space they have available, to determine what size screen they can actually accommodate
@@Caleb_Denison it is so easy to forget. Seriously, how many 15 yo TVs are actually being used as a main unit?! Probably more than I thought 🤣
@@wynkoop2000 I have a LG 42" LCD from about 2010. I almost bought a 48" OLED this week to replace it. I bet the new TV would take the same amount of space and probably weigh less. lol
BTW, it hasn't been my main TV since 2019 but it still has really good color, just a little dim, compared to new ones.
Sports never looked as good as on the HD CRT we used to have (Sony Wega 36").
My Pioneer Kuro says hello.
Guys i am on a big dileimma between Samsung 50' Q60C and LG 50' QNED756...Would really appreciate any opinions!
I watch football on a Vizio D series 32 inch with a digital antenna and don't have the blurry football on my games but I wish I'd have bought the 43 inch Vizio instead. Those tvs are over saturated so I turned down the color a little and the D series looks great plus it's closer to the broadcast signals 720p and 1080i signal broadcasts so it upscales easily.
Curious all the Brands are Capitalized with the exception of Hisense?
Leaving comment for UA-cam algorithms
tcl q7 how do i turn off soap opera/dolby atmos effect?
I have X95J. It’s not mini led but fald led.
The picture quality is excellent except for some occasional blooming when displaying a logo on black screen. During any movie it’s hardly noticeable because the whole screen is filled with content.
My question is should I upgrade to X95L now that it’s mini led and has much less blooming? I assume the picture quality is same or close to same. The only difference is mini led vs fald. Am I missing much?
PQ might be close to the same in SDR, but in HDR the X95L would probably look much better. Apparently the 90L and 95L are also better in upscaling than previous years, so if you watch a lot of non-4k content even SDR will look better. So the difference in PQ is very dependent on what you watch. However whether you should upgrade is ultimately down to if you're still happy with your current TV. Just because there's something better doesn't mean you should get it if you're perfectly content as is.
If you wanted a mini LED you could have bought it from any other manufacturers last year before overpaying for a "top-of-the-line fald"
Thing is though you've already made that investment and you're enjoying the TV so why not just continue to enjoy it?
Don't get stuck on the upgrade every year thing and by the next time you buy a TV you'll be able to get one of the Sony OLEDs 😉
I just can't see spending thousands of dollars several years in a row to continue to get an overpriced, but good tv.
Between the two TVs you could have had an a95L. Despite what the influencers like to say Sony does not give a fuck about their LCD TV's
For them it's all about making a profit when it comes to them, they throw the Sony tax on top and then try to make the product as cheap as possible that's exactly why your top of the line Sony from one year ago is a full array local dimming
I think the first comment summarised it well. If you're contented with your X95J, squeez the value out of it as much as you can for next couple of years, you'll have more options to choose from in the later years. Just avoid the discussions on new features, better upscaling, better processing and so on for sometime as that'd prevent you from enjoying your current TV. These reviewers (salesmen in disguise) will keep bugging you by inducing and influencing you to believe the FOMO. I'm tired of 'This is the best TV...' superlative every year they ignorantly utter and make you to hate your current TV even if it's an outstanding one. Stay away from reviews, particularly comparisons, instead watch your favourite contents, you'll be fine with your TV.
We ask this question every year!!!! LOL
If you need a 42” high quality non oled tv and are coming from a 15 year old lcd, hunting down a Panasonic S60 in the 42” size may be a good option. It’ll be a huge upgrade and would cost peanuts.
I just had to replace ,my tv in the bedroom because it died , it was a 37 inch Vizio, it lasted 13 years! Since bedroom I thought 37 inches was the biggest I could get, but I remeasured and found out that a 43inch would be able to fit! I live in New York and went to PC Richards since they had a 32 inch 4k , but after checking the measurements, the sales representative found out that to 43 inch would be fit! Please don't laugh, I purchased the Samsung 43 Q60C, I've had it for about a week and I m highly impressed by it! As a new subscriber I'm not sure if you did a review on that model! Would be cool if you did one! Anyway thank you can't wait to watch. More,! New subscriber from NYC! Btw I was able too pick it up for 447$ which I thought was a great deal!
At 43”, the Q60C is a great choice. Usually I’m not a fan of Edge Lit Panels, but when it’s on a smaller TV, it looks really good. I think you made a great choice.
His 15 year old toshiba is going to look better with 1080p content then any tv out right now from this year or the past 7 years. The biggest complaints ive seen in our group os when people from a really old set would come up and grt really mad when watching 720p or 1080p content going wait why does it look worse. I then have to explain how upscaling works and that no matter how good a tv is at upscaling it will never look like a native 1080p tv in 1080p. People just dont get that then i tell them test out 4k and enjoy that because you will notice the difference then.
This message is for anybody upgrading from a native 720 or native 1080p panel. Just dont expect even the new tvs to look as good in some content as those do. People dont realize this and its hard for some to udnerstand. But if you play hdr 4k content or dolby vision depending on the set you will be in heaven so enjoy!
For ben,what about a high end gaming monitor?
U7k hisense or Qled 70 c samsung when price doesnt matter??
The cheap Toshiba fire TV is the best for 55" and under. Lasts forever and decent picture quality
I'm a clinger too. I hope to keep my year 2000 Sony A8H OLED for a decade. Fortunately, my living room is low light, so the tv brightness is turned down
Ben didn’t say it, but it sounds like he wants a TV for an RV or possibly a tiny house/small apartment. But, judging by the “wanting it to last”, I’d say RV life. 😊
Amazing
How about a TCL 43 inch tv? Even a 50 inch TCL might be good enough for this consumer. 😊
I currently own a TCL 75 in 6 series. Thinking of upgrade. Which would you buy LG C3 77" or TCL QM* 85".
I have a 65 LG C2 and a 85 TCL QM8...I do casual watching on the QM8 and my gaming and primary movie watching on the C2. Both are awesome TVs...
Thank you so much.@@Comics.Games.Kickspodcast
At 43”, what is the best TV for just casual viewing and the occasional gaming?
I would’ve recommended a great sound bar to go with that Sony. He has it in his budget and would make a great upgrade. Love your content
Great point!
That's self contradictory idea dude. He seems to be an old school guy who definitely not interested in big screen, therefore not a home theatre savvy person, someone who's been contented with a 40 inch TV for last 15 years.. All the more reason he probably has space challenge. And you're suggesting him to spend on unnecessary paraphernalia of things to consume more space and waste money! Instead he could use the surplus amount on buying additional warranty to ensure his TV lasts long.
What about a 40-50" monitor with a Google TV dongle?
Hey man.
I have an unusual question.
In our country, when we go to any big electronics store,
We TV's of various sizes, in which the videos being played look VERY life-like. The colors, the motion Everything just POPS.
Recently I bought a Gigabyte M32U for my PC, in hopes of having the same exp at home. But to my surprise its not even in the same ball-park.
So my question to u is,
"How do i go about , in order to achieve said viewing exp?
What matters more? resolution, file format or panel tech?"
This is a great question! Will you please send it to the YouAsked@digitaltrends.com email address? I’ll tackle this in the next episode!

Small screen premium tv is the question.
When it comes to small,(under 55") high quality/resolution TV's with the latest features for under $1500 the LG Nano Cell micro led tvs are not to be overlooked.
The guy needing the under 55” should either go 48” C3 or go ahead and step up to 55” and get an X90L or 55” A80L.
"55” and get an X90L or 55” A80L" Dude's budget is $600 so Please let me know where I can buy either of those for $600 because I will buy ALL of them..
@@steveludwig4200 I was referring to the question asked later in the video about needing a TV under “55” and having a $1500. Clearly not the same one who needs the best TV under $600.
2 years ago buying new tcl series 4 75" for $600
Ben's question raises another one: what about using a monitor as a TV? There are many monitors with excellent image quality in the under-55" size that he seeks. Given that many people don't use the TV's tuner anyway (because they watch cable or streaming), most TVs are used as monitors anyway. So: are there monitors that make good TVs?
Yes but there aren't many with TV ratio and also flat panel ...
Which budget brand tv last longest
How is Hisense U6G in 50" for $350 today 2024? Space restriction so can't go bigger and that is max budget.
What about jvc TV?
I have yet to see motion smoothing that looks natural (esp for movies and the like). And I do know people that prefer 'vivid' mode since they like the colour pop. Each to their own but I want accuracy and precision.
Read up on black frame insertion, sony calls it clearness in the motion settings.
ONN RUKO SMART TV 75 INCH AT WALMART $ 448.00 IN THE GRAND SCHEME OF THINGS !
