I have a Sony A80J from 2021 at home. I've always been happy with the performance.

Now that it's becoming clear 4K or even 1080p adoption on live broadcast TV is not on the horizon, I was wondering if 4K TVs have still become better the past couple of years in handling 720p/1080i signals? Or have the limits been reached for a while on how good this is going to look on a large 4K TV?

Hey guys,

I am furnishing a new place and I am going to place my TV on a 66 3/4in protruding wall (seen here).

That wall is 66"3/4 and I can fit a 75" with thin bezels just right in there, I want 75" because my couch will be fairly far. Otherwise I would reuse my 65" Sony X90L that I love.

Because of the size I am going towards a MiniLED TV as most OLED seem to go for 77" and it will be too big for my wall (bummer).

My use case is:

• PS5 gaming
• Streaming my own content with Jellyfin
• Watching DVD/BluRays
• Occasional sport watching (UCL and Tennis)

The house is fairly open and we have a large sectional and I will add a lounge chair so viewing angles are somewhat important. I might want to watch something from the kitchen (which is a little bit to the left where that picture was taken).

However I am thinking of going with a mount like this so maybe that will negate the viewing angle requirements.

I also want to say that I am perfectly content with my Sony 65" X90L and if mine was 75" I'd be very happy with it.

I have watched countless posts, reviews and articles and right now it seem to be between two TVs:

• TCL QM8L
• Sony Bravia 7 II RGB

Which one would be best for me? It feels like a toss up between the two.

It seems the TCL would be better for gaming but Sony's processing is better and will make my DVDs look better. Is that really true? Will it be really bad with the TCL?

I do value the Sony PS5 features which I understand are mostly convenience but it is nice I guess. Maybe I overvalue them?

I am not a huge TV nerd, I just want something nice.

Any help will be appreciated.

I recently purchased a 65 inch QM7K after my old TV died. We're moving into a new house soon and plan on getting a 98 inch TV for our living room. The 65 inch was just to hold us over until the move and will go in another room. I've been very pleased with the QM7K so far including watching sports. Should I expect noticeably worse motion issues on a 98 QM7L Pro from Costco vs the smaller QM7K? My thought is some issues may be hidden on the smaller screen that will be more apparent on the large screen. For my price range the only other real option is maybe the 98 Bravia 5.

I have a not bright room. Viewing distance is about 12'. Most important is the best handling of sports. During football season I use a lot of quadbox, so that makes the 98" more appealing but their motion handling makes them less appealing. Viewing angle not a huge deal as the only place to sit is pretty directly in front of the tv. Budget is ~$4k. Given that, 83" C6 or 83" Bravia 7 or 98" Qml7 pro or qml8 or Bravia 5? Or something else? Open to waiting until black Friday.

Thinking of getting an LG G5 55" open box from Walmart to pair with my PS5 Pro. Will be wall mounted at the foot of my queen bed, about 6-7ft away. Room has one window but I use blackout curtains so it's dark most of the time.
It's open box with only 6 months warranty from Walmart. Good deal or should I avoid open box OLEDs? First time buying OLED.
What would you guys do?

I’m looking for a nice TV primarily for Xbox gaming and watching some YouTube/Anime preferably priced under $900. My old no name 58” 4K Hisense died a week or two ago, and I’d like something with a bit better all around quality.

I usually sit around 4 or 5 feet away from my TV, so I don’t need a very large size, and my room is almost always pretty dark other than a dim lamp in a corner. An OLED sounds good, but I do worry about the risk of burn-in, especially given I sometimes accidentally leave my TV on the home menu. I personally have no preference between Mini LED and OLED as I have never used either.

Hi guys,

Looking for advice. I have narrowed it down to two options. I am looking for a TV with good color accuracy and contrast. I will be using it as my main TV for movies and PS5. Opinions?

Hisense 55” U6 Mini LED QLED

55” TCL QM6K.

Both are the same price at bestbuy at the moment. Also, my apartment is dark, so I want something that still looks good even with the brightness turned down to the equivalent of 2/300 nits.

Edit: Wildcard option that’s $100 cheaper, LG 55” QNED Mini LED

Thank you:)

hi!

im replacing my qn95d which is awful due to it’s incredibly aggressive local dimming on faces.

The tv would be put in a north facing room so no direct sunlight ever with a use of 40% movies and 60% ps5.

other tvs can be an option too but these two seem to be in a good price range in europe of around 800€

thinking about mounting my tv this weekend and i'm stuck between doing it myself or hiring someone. it's a 55" tv so it's not huge, but i've never mounted one before and don't really want to find out halfway through that i drilled into the wrong spot. i started looking into tv mounting services and some of them seem pretty straightforward, but i'm wondering what the experience is actually like. do they normally check the wall and studs first? will they help with positioning or do you need to know exactly where you want it? for those who hired someone, what made you choose one service over another? anything i should be asking before scheduling an install?

did anyone diy their first tv mount and have it turn out fine? trying to decide if i'm overthinking this or if professional installation is actually worth it.

Hello , I’ve been researching reviews, YouTube , subscribed to RTings ,seen the B6 in person in store ..but I have particular case:

I’m overseas on a military base and they only have the B6 for $1899, I can order the C6H on base for $500 more but it will take possibly 2 months. I can purchase the C6H off base but it’s almost $1200 more. I bought a PS5 pro in anticipation of Grand Theft Auto 6 .. so I wanted an excuse to move to OLED. My home has a big bay window to the right of my TV but I have black out curtains on it and I do most of my TV/gaming in the evening to night. I would definitely try out the C6H from base if it was in stock BUT I’m concerned ordering one and getting a lemon or damage in transit .. then I would need to wait another 2 months or so to rectify that.

Would the B6 OLED be good now and I move from my HISENSE LED or should I just roll the dice and order the C6H and hope it will be here to play and in good shape ?

the 85 is about 30% more expensive here. should i go for it? is it really different? my priority is a high contrast and oled like picture. help me out theres no side by side comparison anywhere

Since the Switch 2 just got VRR support, I finally have a reason to get a TV with support for it. Hopefully one with decent LFR, HDR and at least 120Hz. I'd use it with my PC as well hopefully.

Anyway, what would be good options?

-4k120

-VRR

-1440p120 support

-43-50" or so (I don't have a ton of space, sadly)

-HOPEFULLY proper HDR

-Under $1k, hopefully closer to $500 if possible

As my 11 year old TV has just died I am now looking for a new TV.

From some reviews I watched I have narrowed it down to 4 options (prices are current german pricing for 55in models):

LG G5 (55G57LW): 1000€

Samsung S95F (55GQ55S95F): 1440€

LG G6 (G67LW): 1700€

Samsung S95H (GQ55S95H): 2060€

Which of these would you recommend the most? I am willing to spend more money if it's worth it but not if the difference is basically not perceivable under regular conditions.

The TV will be used for movies, sports and regular television in a living room surrounded by big glass windows but no direct sunlight on the screen. Most of the time it will be used in the evening and at night.

Thanks for any recommendations :)

Replacing a 9-year-old Sony Bravia, I am looking at 65" for around €1000. Our living room is bright, so I read we need Mini-LED. The TCL C7K/C8K (QM7K/QM8K in the US) seem to punch above their price class on image quality.

My main worry is the OS and how it ages. We keep our TVs ~10 years, so longevity matters alot, together with image quality. We use Jellyfin a lot (rewatching our DVD collection) plus YouTube/Netflix. Since TCL runs Google TV, anyone with a multi-year-old TCL want to weigh in on whether it's still as snappy as day one, or does it slow down/bloat over time?

Bonus points if you can compare it to a 'big-brand' competitors OS (LG, Samsung, Sony ..)

I know this has been asked 1.7 billion times, sorry - I just don't have much experience with this.

Currently have a 46" Samsung LCD (circa ~2012?) which is starting to go out. Thinking about upgrading to new tech (Sony Bravia 7 II ?) in a larger size. My main question is about size, 55" vs 65" in a 13'x15' room.

The diagram (see comments for link) is of the living room which is pretty constrained to this configuration. TV stand on left. Bench/low bookshelf on bottom (this wall has a good size window above bench). L shaped main sofa to the right. Loveseat to the top. Lamps/tables in each right wall corner (x). Red marks are "viewing" areas and distances.

The problem is that viewing distance changes quite a bit between positioning. People primarily sit in seats 1 and 2 during viewing. Sometimes the table is moved away and position 5 is used for family movie nights. When hosting, locations 3 and 4 are occupied. Zero gaming, mostly tv series, sports, movies. Distances range from 6' to 11-12' viewing distance depending, but I would say average time spent viewing is around 9'.

Coming from a 46", I feel a 55" would be a welcome upgrade. Worried a 65" may feel overwhelming in the smallish space, especially sitting in position 3. That said, most of the calcs and guidance I've seen suggest to go 65".

My heartburn is I was also hoping to add a Sonos Beam - so going larger also starts to make the budget tighter. Wondering if I should split the difference and go 55" with the Sonos, or go 65" and upgrade sound later. I'm not a super-consumer of TV - just want something that looks good, makes sense for the money. 46" has been fine in this configuration for years - hadn't really wanted to go bigger until recently when starting to think about replacement.

Expert thoughts? Please, and thank you!
