Thank you for a great review,i liked ur format in this review,keep it up
More to come
Nice seeing your channel growing 👍
Much love from vegas
Thanks brother
Great review. I live the format. I can make an informed decision thank you
I'll guarantee u this, u will not see color banding on the Sony that u will absolutely see on the TCL, and the motion is much better on the Sony
Samsung neo qled 65inh qn90c &
Sony 65inh 90l
Which is the best TV.....?
Could you not reduce the saturation on the TCL to get the more natural look?
Been happy with my 75QM8 for over 3 months
Steve which one would you pick X90L 65 or LG C2 65 ?
Thanks Tech Steve, for me I prefer punchiness over color accuracy. It's the TCL for me.
But you can just ad more colour and contrast to your liking on the Sony :)
Video processing and color for me. Sony it is
nice video, are you going to make a review of the TCL X955 model ??
No
Steve, great video- if I mostly watch sports, stream content from UA-cam/HBO/Netflix etc., and game (in that order), which TV do you think would fit my use case best?
The video is you answer
I watched! Let's take sports only, then. In your opinion, is the better motion processor on the Sony worth the price difference? Thanks'@@TechSteve
@@austincowper7551Not Steve but absolutely. As somebody who has multiple tv brands in their house, the Sony has the best motion as well as upscaling for sports content. Especially on wide angle shots for content like football it’s great you’re still able to see the detail in the background. Also, Sony has a higher Q/A than TCL and tend to last longer so take that into your decision as well!
Hi all! Which one is better the tcl q7 65inch on sale for 699 or the Hisense 65inch currently priced at $945 at Best Buy not on sale sadly 😢. Getting a new tv this week. Any advice would be great gonna use it mostly UA-cam and Netflix
A superb comparison of these TV models. Thank you very much. I especially appreciate the part after the 6th minute 😃
I hope this helps answer questions to those considering between the 85QM8, 85U8K, 85X90CL, and even the 77S90C. I started back in July with the 85QM8, and I loved the contrast, brightness, and vibrant colors. Hated the horrible streaming upscaling capability that literally made certain content like MLB game unwatchable because it couldn't even make the face of the hitters recognizable. Also, poor EOTF would overblow certqim bright images to the point that all details were lost, so I returned it one month later.
Tried the 77S90C, better than 85QM8 at everything, except brightness during day watching and SIZE, I didnt think the 8" drop was going to be that noticeable, but it was....and currently that dont think its worth paying 2-3X the price for an 83" oled.
I currently have both the 85U8K and the 85X90CL side by side agaisnt by wifes wishes 😂. Like most people, I felt cheated by the 85X90CL with a FALD display and probably only 150 dimming zones at best...So I had to try to the 85U8K Mini-LED with 1300 dimming zones, 1500 NITS, QLED, and an 8.5 rating from RTINGS.COM.
After a couple of days of playing with them side by side, (not hearsay), for the purpose os STREAMING only, I have NOT tried gaming, the X90CL has better colors, including blacks period!
Side by side, same content, same image, the colors of the 85U8K are dull/washed out in EVERY mode because of the way Hisense is choosing to present the colors this year. FYI, FOMO, along with other youtubers and even others in the comments, had mentioned that, but I guess I'm a bit stubborn and refused to 100% believe it😅.
I'm not a professional calibrator, but I have some experience with tweaking tv settings...I mean come on, this year alone this is the 4th tv since July chasing my best picture quality valueed tv 😁, since I probably wont upgrade again for another 3-5 years I hope.
I have never owned a SONY until the 85X90CL, I used to think that they were overpriced for what you were getting, and based on reviews from youtubers and RTINGS.COM, they were not worth it imo.
Based on the fact that the clarity is soooooooo much better in most content on the X90CL over the U8K, dont believe me? Try streaming Darkwing Duck from Disney plus side by side 😆, also what's with the dullness of the U8Ks colors including blacks 🤦🏽♂️, and yes, im also comparing them wot the QM8 and the S90C...The 85U8K is sadly going back...I had such high hope for it considering I waited forever to get my hands on the 85U8K.
I hope that answers some of your questions. But if in doubt or curious like I was, order both and put them side by side like I did 👋.
Do you recommend changing or resetting the settings like Steve did? I like how it looks in the store and figured it would look great in my living room. Cinema?? Huh?
Your comments are so important thank you
Thanks for sharing your experience!
Yes sony strength has always been with their processors, i mean their screen quality on paper might not look as good but the processor really brings out the best out of it and their lack of dimming zone or whatever that is become negligible
@jrerobert Appreciate your comments as these are the 4 TV's I'm considering. Looks like it's been several months. Are you still pleased with your decision ?
What do you prefer X90L Or QN90C 65'
How's the cable wired setupbox TV HD channels in Sony X90L?
hope to see more u8k content. also idk if u got the sam qn90c. the comparisons between both of those should b fun
No I didn’t get the q90c I lost $700 on the q90b so I’m done spending that kind of money
@@TechSteve yea anything up there on samsung is overpriced. That’s why I like tcl and Hisense cuz their flagship’s are more affordable and is just as good if not better. I really despise LG, they never change anything and not so innovative compared to the other brands
Samsung is light years ahead of tcl and Hisense with there TV’s. They cost more cause the work better look better and last longer. Samsung is not overpriced u get what u pay for
@@garrettstrutz7421 no not really. They cost more cuz it’s an established name. Hisense n tcl is new to the tv market. Samsung TVs have low picture quality besides their QD oled
Great video Steve. Will you be reviewing the Sony A95L QD-OLED once it officially releases?
Nope
You have a very expensive wish my friend. Hahaha
How many bluetooth headphones can you connect at the same time?
Very informative Steve. As close as they are to each other, for me it would boil down to which display had the deeper black levels especially in the black bars on a 235 aspect ratio in 4k. Any thoughts?
The TCL regarding black levels would be clearly better than the Sony. I purchased the QM8 65 inch and literally no blooming. This is the first LCD TV I didn't need to use bias lighting to help with blooming. Also this is the first TV I actually squinted when watching a movie because of the brightness. Watched the second Pacific Rim movie and it was great in HDR! Took a while to dial it in more than any other TV I have owned but it was worth it.
I got TCL's first mini led TV like 4 or so years ago. It's amazing, but it came out RIGHT before Earc became a thing. Might have to check out this QM8
Still running 4 years later? Sweet!
@@paulcarlin5181always get extended warranty whichever TV you buy. No tv should break within 4 years idc from which company
Great video! I heard the x90l uses a different panel thank the 65 and 55 inch, va vs IPS, is there any info on this? Thank you
www.displayspecifications.com/en
Love your channel Sir! Love your voice, you could talk about gardening and I’d listen lol
Lol
Great review and I'm tempted by the Sony as we need a replacement for our 10yr old Panasonic plasma tv. However, our room has lots of windows and is very bright which caused reflection issues when watching the plasma during the day. So, is the Sony still a good option?
On Vivid mode the SONY is super bright and the colors are punchy. You won't regret it.
I will buy your plasma Clark. Seriously. My Samsung plasma just died.
Thanks for the great review man! It’s really appreciated.
The first thing that I noticed whilst watching the review was that the screen on the Sony looked considerably darker than the TCL. So much so, that it was the only thing I could focus on.
It's still extremely bright but lower nits than the tcl
Nice video keep up the good work my brother
Thanks
Do Sony tvs support airplay 2?
How is the TCL upscaling on lower quality content vs Sony? Thanks for your great content
Sony processors are simply amazing
It would be interesting to do a comparison video of the TCL qm8 and the new Hisense U8K and Samsung 90C.
No 90c but is did the other one. When I compare 3 tv it’s double the work and half the views
Samsung will destroy them just like sony put one of them with the same specs as the tcl and compare
🤔
The Samsung 90c is hands down better no comparison there
great video thanks
It's definitely a big bang for the buck if brightness is what you want...for me it's exactly what I wanted and everyone who looks at my 75" qm8 are wowed by its performance for a fraction of the cost of an lg oled, I picked mine up on Amazon on a 1 day sale for 1499.00.....that's ridiculously cheap and very pleased. You are right about the motion issue and some other quirky anomalies but in 2 years, I will replace it with a newer tech unit anyway. Good review 👍
Great Review!!!
Just bought the 85” TCL QM8 for my guest bedroom, can’t wait!
I'd like the 85" but not sure it's worth the extra $500 more than a 75"
85” in a guest bedroom? Man they are spoiled. Lol
I’m eager to know your thoughts! I think I will get the 85” QM8 for my birthday as it’s on sale! $1699
@@darrellreed7044 man that’s a deal! I paid $2100 and it’s a phenomenal TV!
@@darrellreed7044 the 2024 QM8 is supposedly way better than the 2023, esp at motion processing of lower bit rate content
Great video! I have the 75” X90L. With some adjustments, the brightness is fantastic and I still get the details other TVs lose.
What adjustments did you make?
@austincowper7551 you can turn the hdr on in your settings
How is the contrast and the blooming of the X90L in a dark room?
@jrerobert I have the x90k. It's better then k. But honestly it's just miner detail. I watch in dark room. Tv is meant for brighter room. Sony all the way
@44pakattack I watch tv in semi dark room most of the time, and I'm trying to decide between the X90L and the X93L, hopefully for black-friday. Currently, the difference in price is $1400 for the 85" size 😬. Also, Costco has the X90L available, which comes with a 5-year free warranty, but not the 85X93L. What do you think? I mostly stream sports, shows, and movies. The room next door has a light on most of the time. In your opinion, is it worth the extra $1400 for the X90L?
Steve, in the comparison between Sony X90L vs TCL QM8, was the Sony colors set to vivid?
No cinema mode, I actually showed on the video.
hi bud thank you for your hard work withs one of these you recomend i dont do tv gaming net flix and youtube
Sony 75 Inch Mini LED 4K Ultra HD TV X93L or LG C3 Series 77-Inch Class OLED evo im leaving samsung lol thank you sir
Covering the remote details great
Costco X90CL has an upgraded backlit remote.
I have the 85 inch QM8. My only complaint is that HDR 10 is much better than Dolby Vision on this TV. Also, upscaling is just okay.
What are your personal settings for your QM8? I'm still working on calibrating mine.
@@Comics.Games.Kickspodcast I only use smart HDR or low power modes. I use motion and judder at 4 with color at 56 and brightness at 70. Digital noise reduction at low. All intelligent settings are off
It's not just that tv. Hdr10 is better than dv on the c2 as well
I'm watching prices and trying to decide between the QM8, U8K, and X90L in a 75" Not sure if this video helped my decision making process or made it more difficult?!?! 😉🤣🤣🤪🤪
Same, although I think I'm going to fork over the extra $100 for the X90L
Awesome video. I'm a TCL fan but based on personal experience. I don't think the quality is just there yet longterm having returned two TCL's (Q6 and Q7) due to defective panels within 30 days of ownership. This hassle led me to buy a Sony X85K and I'm very pleased.
How did you determine that you had defective panels?
@@charlespokerfaceQ6=Permanent blue vertical line and Q7=lower half of the screen would display pink static. I bought them both from BB so no issues returning. Not hating on the brand but returning 65" TVs was kind of a pain and my confidence is just not there. Just happy they both crapped within the return period though.
@@dancerehab1092 90% movies, netflix, prime and youtube and about 10% Xbox. I have the 75" and very pleased so far. I'm still within the Costo 90 day return period though but it's been a month and no issues plus there is a 2 year warranty and another year of warranty from Visa. I'm very happy with the 4k video quality and color and Google TV.
My tcl qm8 too have flickering screen . Very disappointed.
The TCL is the TV that'll shock your guests more, and be like WOW.
Especially when it won't turn on...
Great comparison video. The shaky cam at the beginning was making me seasick though 🤢🤢🤢. The Sony looked so much dimmer than the TCL. Was it because they were side by side and the camera was lowering the exposure to compensate for the TCL and making the Sony darker?
Sorry about that I’m trying a new point of view approach. I adjusted the iso for the brighter TV, I made a video before leveling out the brightness and people are still commenting about how it was unfair
@@TechSteve It’s all good. I like the side by side shots but the difference in brightness was worrying. I did see your individual review of the X90L and you pointed out that the brightness was good and the footage reflected that. Keep up the good work.
@jsonlee01 you can see difference when you compare that’s why I make these videos
@@vybo8921 i don’t see it that way but you’re welcome to your opinion.
So did you ever pick Tec Steve ?
Just for my peace of mind I will go with the Sony X90L 💯👍🏾
Lol, extended warranty are available
@chrisgreen521 what do you mean by that? Are there issues with TCL as a company?
I can't afford piece of mind then lol
I bagged one today online via Black Friday Deal. $1499 for the 75” Sony Bravia X90L
Me too…been trying to decide between these models. I still have an amazing Samsung 50” plasma TV from 20 years ago as my main TV, but it’s 1080p. I know OLED is even better, but I hate the extra extra thin screens (they look too easy to bend or break, especially when moving house). If anyone knows of an OLED model (Sony, LG, Samsung) that is a good thickness, let me know.
TCL just introduced their X955 and C955 Premium QD-Mini LED 4K TV lineup, so...hold on to your lugnuts!
Yes I just seen the reviews on that so I'm holding on want to know the cost of that 98-inch on the 955 and does it compare to the x 93l from Sony
Yeah for like double the money 💰
Which one would you recommend in the 98 inch size for a living room?
TCL for gaming and Sony for movies
I feel like most people prefer brightness over accuracy, but I personally personally prefer an image that's properly calibrated as close to reference as possible. I base this on seeing peoples displays that look like a bug zapper, and when I eyeball it closer to calibrate, they hate it and want the zapper back 😂.
Just got a 65 x90l, and fuuuuuu it can go soooo damn bright!!! I love the HDR tone mapping, it doesn't blow up bright details and displays dark scenes with still so much detail! My 2016 4K Bravia is nothing compared to this but that TV only accepted HDR signal, it still had an 8bit panel and no local dimming. I'm sooo damn happy with it, I feel like the "creators intent" really lives through this TV. Also Bravia Core content is literally as good as blu-rays!!!
It's almost blindingly bright in a dark room, I often lower the brightness which is something I couldn't imagine myself doing on any TV before 🥴
@@High.on.Life_DnB I'm curious what that 5000 nit TV that's coming out with is going to look like.
@@Jacob-ed1bl I can just imagine that it would be so bright, that the brightness would literally blind you if you have a very dark scene right after a very bright scene...
It could probably make a sun actually look like the sun outside 😅 (nah that's impossible the sun is like a billion nits, but it will come closer than any other TV, now if only the Sony tone mapping was an industry standard it would probably be the best non OLED TV you could get)
@@High.on.Life_DnB I'm definitely going to check it out, I'll put on some welding glasses at first 😎 just incase lol.
What about Sony X90s/p?
Any word on TCL fixing the QM8 upscaling sharpness issues?
Please do a x93L vs qm8 or u8k please!!
I don’t have a x93l
At 7:09 the discussion is about the detail in the distance being sharper on the Sony (which I'm not sure I'm actually seeing) but what IS immediately noticeable is how the grass on the Sony looks to all be very close in color while the TCL's grass shows clear variation in the different lengths. The Sony also has better shadow detail in the shade of the closer trees.
Sony's processing is on another level. The Sony is far more accurate.
I absolutely love this review! I saw how the Sony did better with the slower FPS, but I love the way the TCL pops with its colors. Do you know if the TCL does well with older animes that typically have stutter issues such as Naruto and One Piece?
I haven't tried
Oh the sony looks good but question is it a matte display look like it by how the brightness shows
For those who don't have enough space for a 65" there isn't a decision to make since the QM8 starts at 65"
There is always space for a big tv.
Even though it's not as bright as the tcl, the smooth motion on the Sony is amazing. Plus I'm a movie buff, so it's probably a better choice for me. Is it easy to calibrate?
Yes, calman has an app for Sony store.portrait.com/consumer-software/calman-home-for-sony.html
@@TechSteveHey Mr. Steve, I typed out a pretty long comment but I'm guessing you will get this more quickly. Speaking of picture calibration, can you help me with my Samsung CU8000? Thanks in advance, and I hope you get my other comment I added on the main page.
smooth motion on sony ? :) TCL is better on this area
@@rv6569 ARE YOU ON CRACK LMAO
QM8 vs XL90 vs Hisense U8K the ultimate battle we need
Soon my friend, I might use your title
I would only consider the QM8 if they made it in 55-inch, but since they don't the choice is already made for me, I choose X90L.
The TCL is good enough. And better with the lights & darks on the more common imagery. Sony is better if you want a level of detail nobody pays attention to and you’re willing to pay even more during Black Friday. I chose TCL, but big respect to Sony.
Is it me or does the TCL look darker and less detail when you look at it at an angle? in the scenes the TVs are behind you
I adjusted the brightness only for A-roll so it doesn’t blow out while I’m on camera
Is it 120hz in 4k or is it 120hz in 1080p because some displays do 120hz but at lowerd resolution than the native resolution
4k120 with HDMI 2.1 and a newer console
Sony images looks dark . Can you adjust it brighter? Thanks
Yes, I adjusted the camera to the brightest tv which was the tcl
My first smart tv was TCL 2019 P8M. Great tv but it just died after 1 year of usage. Now, i am still happy with my 2022 65x90j . The tv is superb
The Sony is two years behind in tech, is not bright enough, and really is not impressive. I have the 98" R754 which replaced a Sony Z9J, and honestly, I dont miss the Sony processing one bit. In real world content, the TCL looks amazing. The QM8 being MiniLED and brighter, is just icing on the cake.
The TCL QM8 looks waaaayyy BETTER. And for that price, it will seal the deal for me.
Hey Steve qm8 u8k or the x95l
The X95L no question light years better
but wait.. who watches a tv on full brightness. which means if you lower the brightness on the tcl it would like softer like the Sony no ?
Steve, which one of them would be your personal preference?
I’m staying non bias and let the video speak for itself
HE WONT ANSWER QUESTIONS AND WILL ALWAYS SAY REFER TO THE VIDEO LMAO
Only if the answer is already on the video. That's the reason for posting videos, right. I have filmed over 900 videos I wish I could remember every detail.
75” QM8 or Hisense U8K?!? What do you guys think?
I watched a side by side on the two because I was wondering the same. QM8 dominated it in every area. Easy decision on that one. The Sony was a much better competitor, but I’m personally still leaning towards the TCL. Especially for gaming
QM8 by far
in my country they don't have QM8, it is C845 equivalent?
No. QM8 > C845
Are you from Australia? I'm looking around also
Hello steve, do you employ international staff? Mehn your video quality is far too good & i just like ever single thing about TVs & Soundbars.
Not I do everything on the channel from start to finish. I have a editor that helps me film b-roll and works on cleaning up old videos and thumbnails
Great review but looking at the footage, the Sony looks really dim in comparison and I do wonder if it's just the camera making it look dim. @3:53 The flamingoes are nearly crushed on the Sony whereas they look really bright on the QM8.
However @14:51, the falcon is brighter on the X90L which is strange.
I filmed at the default settings through out the video, because of the a-roll at the end i dimmed the the tcl
@@TechStevethanks for the info! I thought it was in movie mode - were these ootb settings?
Nah, to make the room brighter enough it would blow out the TVs on camera if you don’t dim them when I’m on camera
@@TechSteveI see, thanks!
I agree that the Sony looked dim on the demo we're watching here, but in real life it looks great. Does it look better than the TCL? Maybe, I can't make up my mind. I'd need to see them both while watching a movie. Qled and mini-leds sound more impressive than Bravia LCD, so that could sway people. I was about the buy the QM8, but BB was out of stock when I tried to order so I looked into the Sony X90L and Samsung QN90C. Dang, they all have amazing pictures, but the Samsung is $800 more, and I can't really see an advantage at this time. The TCL is back in stock, so now I have to choose between the QM8 85" and the X90L at $2000 each.
Love it
Mini LED is the way to go. To me, it is a better tech and brightness says a lot over details in my opinion. Then, once you combine that to price point, is a no-brainer. For what you pay for the Sony, you can basically up one size on the TCL.
Turn the backlight up on the Sony.
Perfect timing! I was just introduced to the TCL QM8 a few days ago, and it's indeed a solid TV option. However, my heart still leans towards the Sony X90L. The only minor gripe I have is that I wish it were a tad brighter, though my wallet is not on the same page, sadly! 😂😂
Both have bad viewing angles cause both are built on VA screens. Compare that with Samsung, where their higher end TVs are built on IPS(ADS) screens and have excellent viewing angles. Both TCL and Sony needs to start building their higher end sets on IPS screens. Dimming zones make up for IPS inherent low contrast which is why most Samsung high end non-OLED TVs are built on IPS.
the sony looks horrible, no color, not brightness, a lot of blooming, and the whole thing looks dark gray. tcl clears easily and if brightness is too much for you just reduce it and I can clearly see all the picture imperfections on the tcl unlike the sony. I could even see vains on the neck of the presenter on minute 4:34
I tell you Sony X90L is basic cheap model of Sony is not new technology is not give you something you don't have been in Ader cheap television I don't like what Sony do in the three years 3 Sony do old chip television or to expensive television no something in the middl to bite Chinese best TV end price
The Sony will be the most reliable by far. TCL and Hisense are still below average in reliability.
SONY the way is looks in saturated dimmer colors & pops , is VERY CLOSE TO U8K
BUT between this Sony & U8K , i would take U8K , got more feathers, BUT still i think , TCL QM8 is better TV in everything , just needs to play with setting to get the BEST out of it they way U LIKE IT in blks & colors ...but other 2 is dimmer TVS
You should be able to adjust the settings on the Sony better and when you do this the Sony clearness, motion processing, details and quality should be a a lot better than the TCL. Just my opinion.
The x90L is bright he clearly left it in a factory setting because it definitely needs the backlight rasied. I have this tv and I can tell you it crushes that Hisense U8H that I took back after 2 weeks of disappointment. I don't TCL processing is any better. Those TCL and Hisense motion sucks as does processing SDR and upconverting. The blacks are microblocking different shades of black which is quite annoying.
Sony hands down. Keep your TCL and Hisense trash
Look, I recently bought this Toshiba Android TV 43 inch 4K Ulta HDR TV, I have 3 HDMI inputs, how can I tell if it has 2.1?
Which one is better qm8 vs samsung q80c ?
Qm8 is way better
7:36 is tcl looks deeper More 3d looking? Am I wrong? 1:32
I was thinking about buying the 85 inch X90L but after watching the video I don't 😢 think so
but are these security safe, since they are made in china. would these even be safe due to the geographical situations that exist currently? just asking
还是热乎的🎉
Recently bought a Hisense but after 40 days it crapped out. Bought a TCL 6 series 65" but it also crapped out. I'm currently shopping Sony or Samsung. I can't deny the great features of the Hisense and TCL but the quality is just not there hence the cheap budget pricing.
What do you mean they crapped out? What happened with them?
Terrible luck for him. I know someone with a 65 inch TCL and they have had it two years.@@oldmanhendo7183
not surprised the fact that Lowsense and Turd Crappy Loser (TCL) are Made in China. Also QM8 is cost almost as much as Sony A80L like they have confidence that their Chinese TV Technology is just as good as Japanese or Korean TV technology that they should raise prices.
@@oldmanhendo7183 THEY BROKE
How is the upscaling on that TCL?thats one thing i hate about TCLS
pretty mediocre, also sucks at gradation on low bitrate content
@@momohit1255 And thats why they are cheap i guess
Upscaling is so bad that I returned my qm8...unless you dont mind streaming a lot of blurred content.
Get a 4k Apple TV the king of streaming content
@TechSteve Will that help with scaling? Or will it still be ?benlimited by the tv
X90L would be my choice.
This is a mini LED versus a regular LCD.
Sony really needs to step up their game for the lower lines and midlines. Its just not fair the fans who can't afford a sony oled or master series.
The Sony has small advantages in some areas, but the color, contrast and brightness of the tcl is too much to recommend the x90.
Either save up and get an oled qd oled or master series if you want a Sony .
The 90 series is officially low end
Its like 5+ year newer tech. Sony isnt trying on its low end TV's
Hi Steve, first time I’ve seen your videos, was very good and I liked the way you pointed out the differences between the TCL and the Sony, my first thoughts was the TVL due to the brightness, but the differences in the trees in the golf course was massive, I’ve always been a Sony fan, I have a 85” Sony tv just now and I am looking for 98-115” tv for my next purchase. But for the money the TCL looks a solid purchase, well until the big three reduce there prices
Your best bet is a Samsung 110" Micro LED TV. I bought one and haven't looked back it's > all other TVs on the market.
Your video quality looks truly outstanding! Looks like a documentary or live action video...Also the TCL looks faaarrr better than the Sony..not even close in Mt opinion...
It’s in HDR
I'm not if it's a fair comparation. Fair was qm8 vs the x95l. We have the x95l 65" here in Europe and is incredibly tv but we don't have the qm8 but instead we have the c845 (not shore the model nr) which is nowhere near the cm8😢🤷♂️
Sony X95L is the best MiniLed TV and take a look at the comparisons and opinions of people who test the TV. The TCL QM8 or the European TCL C845 is worse, no other TV shows such a normal picture and those details as the sony X95L. If you have the money for the X95L, then you must buy it
thanks but just put them side by side and let us choose for ourselves . and more gaming comparison please
I was in love with either the Hisense or TCL models in the 75" range a few weeks ago, and after really considering them both, I've switched my thinking to the Sony. I'd really like my next TV to last me at least 7-8 years and I worry about the daily usage of the Hisense or TCL. I'm fine with paying a little more if I'm getting a quality panel. I know on paper that the TCL has better stats than the Sony, but the picture of the Sony looks more realistic/better in my eyes. Just waiting on a solid deal for the X90L
I have qm8 motion is not the best but the sound sounds way better than what I’m hearing very immersive and loud in real life
TCL S5 98" is the one ti get, only $4K now
Review sony x80l 55 inch model
Not going to happen, it’s not sold in the US
I could care less about color accuracy. I love the bright punchy colors.
the x90l does get pretty bright.
Agreed, the TCL is over 2000 vs Sony is under 800 but much brighter than you expect
Then why don't you make the picture on the Sony close to the TCL.
It’s the motion for me, TCL is lovely but I can still spot tearing
You should compare TCL Q8M vs SONY X95L coz both are Mini LED TV
For dark room I will choose Sony, for bright living room TCL is the best.
I am a Sony fan ever since, upscaling is more important for me!
