The bad upscaling on the TCL is a deal breaker. I watch a lot of KZbin and Directv and the review from RTINGS also confirms with other reviewers findings. Sony is the king when it comes to color accuracy and 1080p and lower res upscaling.

[@ziggydawiggler5874]

I have a question regarding the upscaling. I noticed that you mentioned you have tried KZbin tv content. When you use a Shield TV for steaming and turn on A.I. Enhanced upscaling does it mess up the content on u8k and the Q7 as well as the U7K.

[@JPVee511]

When a handful of reviewers experience failures on a particular make & model, I don’t take it lightly as panel-lottery. I think it speaks volume about QC and future reliability. Store exchange would be a huge hassle since for a 75” I’d be dependent on pickup & delivery. It’s too bad since I have my eyes on the QM8 and U8K. So it’s looking like X90L for me and its lesser blacks. Thanks for the very informative and entertaining videos, FOMO. When I ever do take home a new TV, you would’ve played no small part in the decision process.

[@TheModeRed]

Have the QM8 upscaling sharpening issues or EOTF tracking been fixed yet or any word on them from TCL?

[@Papa_WooWoo]

So what exactly is the issue with the black bars on the sony? Is it because of some bloom or do you not like them? There's normally black bars on most movies nowadays depending on where you watch it from. But curious on why do you not like it? Thanks.

[@truthseeker5079]

I've been watching your channel and other tv enthusiasts for years, and consistently what I notice is that Sony tvs are not the brightest or they might not have the highest specs, but what they lack in specs they make up for in image processing. I can't even explain it but when you watch a movie on a Sony tv it hits different, there's a 3 dimensional look to it. There's an image depth that other tvs don't pull off. It's a balanced image the highlights pop maybe not the brightest but the still pop enough, the blacks are deep maybe not the darkest of dark, but there's details in the shadows, and the gradients in color preserve information that gives your brain more to work with.

[@michaelzoran]

QUESTION: Mr. Fomo, your video comparison here shows three 65" TV sets. The U8K uses a VA panel at that size. Therefore, it is no surprise that the VA panel TV set has "Terrible Viewing Angles," just like the TCL QM8, TCL Q7, Sony X90L, and Hisense U8K at the sizes of 55" and 65." However, the 75" version of the U8K uses an IPS panel - which means the Hisense 75" version should have excellent viewing angles. What are your thoughts about this?

[@halfclappertopchedda]

Wow. That sony is something special. Was sold on the U8K for a while but this has made me realize sony just cannot be beat.

[@ericspalacio]

Hey FOMO, can you also include a DVD/standard Blu-ray app convert test through UHD/DVD players, I have noticed that 480 PDBD is a lot more stable than 480 P streaming, and maybe TCL and hastens can benefit from that as well Sense players like the Sony and Panasonic can app convert DVDs and Blu-ray is pretty good with just about any TV

[@truthseeker5079]

The think I notice consistently with Sony tvs whether it be LCD or OLED is that they try to balance the image out to give you as much detail and information in the image as possible. I have a Sony X900h and that tv still looks great with everything you throw at it. Other brands tend to swing too hard into brightness and the image ends up looking washed out. But when you see a Sony tv they tend to have this balance in image quality that makes the image have depth and clarity which translates to picture that looks like you can reach across and touch someone in the content.

[@wgwrigel1]

i have the 85 inch 900H and i love it, i was thinking about getting something smaller as we may be moving into an apartment soon, trying to figure out if i should stay with sony or try something a bit "brighter" tv because all i watch is sports on cable

[@truthseeker5079]

@wgwrigel1 I would look into a Samsung to be honest. The QN85 series or if it's still available the QN90B. Samsung's screens tend to be bright as hell. I would also recommend vizio at 85 inches the their J01 tv seems to be big and bright.

[@truthseeker5079]

@wgwrigel1 I would recommend Hisense, but they tend to have weird ghosting issues with their tvs. I guess TCL the new 8 series could be a good option too.

[@dperr338]

@@wgwrigel1 Go with smaller tv from Sony but go higher up in their lineup. So like the X93 or OLED. Maybe even go with the X95L.

[@dperr338]

@@truthseeker5079 If he loves the Sony TV why change brands based on one picture quality metric? Literally every brand makes a brighter model than the X900h including Sony. The fact that he wants a smaller tv would give him room to move to a higher end Sony TV. Every brand makes very bright tvs now. I think buying one over another based on brightness is kinda dumb when anything over $1,000 is hitting 1,000 nits. It’s not all about brightness. Image processing plays a big role as does UI.

Just wondering if it's the same as here in the UK to the US, I've been looking at 75 x90L and 65 x95L or LG c2 65 but noticed the Sony's both come with 5 year manufacturer's warranty and the LG just 1 year which seems to be the same for Samsung and Panasonic

[@chriskelly1740]

I've been using the X90L since December 14, 2023. I am thrilled with its SDR and HDR10 performance. However, in Dolby Vision Dark with HDR Tone Mapping turned off, the X90L's light output resembles my previous plasma. Unlike other displays, the X90L allows me to change these settings during Dolby Vision playback. Wen Adv. Contrast Enhancer is off whether in Dolby Vision Dark, Dolby Vision Bright, or Dolby Vision Vivid, the peak light output is lower than during HDR10 playback regardless of the HDR Tone Mapping setting. Setting Adv. Contrast Enhancer to High whether in Dolby Vision Bright or Dolby Vision Vivid is the only way I can achieve peak light levels similar to HDR10. Which HDR Tone Mapping setting is least likely to clip details in bright scenes during Dolby Vision playback with Adv. Contrast Enhancer set to High? Brightness Preferred, Gradation Preferred, or Off? Is the peak light output during Dolby Vision playback supposed to be dimmer than during HDR10? If so, then I'll accept Dolby Vision Dark with HDR Tone Mapping and Adv. Contrast Enhancer both set to Off. However, if peak light output is supposed to be as bright as HDR10, I think finding the settings which maintain details in bright scenes during Dolby Vision playback is how to go about this unless or until Sony corrects the Dolby Vision light level issues via a firmware upgrade.

Along with the black bars I would add the captions are also very bright and add bloom all the time.

[@KAT-pi3pk]

Mr. FOMO, great job yet again. Question for you - What would you suggest for this use case? Q7 price range, wide angle viewing, mostly watch sports and sometimes TV shows via a streaming service that generally sends 720p (sometimes 1080p) content at 30 or 60fps. The Q7 looks great other than the narrow viewing angle.

[@stopthefomo]

"wide viewing angle" means nothing in the Q7 price range - you'll have to upgrade to the Samsung QN85B which has better viewing angles due to ADS panel but costs almost 2x more.

Excellent comparison of pears to apples to oranges. The 65" TCL Q7 is currently $699, the Hisense U8K is $1099, TCL QM8 is $1199 and the Sony 65" X90L is $1399 @ Best Buy. Picture quality to dollar value the TCL Q7 and QM8 are the hands on winners!

Yeah Q7 looks good bang for the buck especially at 75". However, one thing is Hisense and TCL are horrible at upscaling.

yep, that's why I preferred the QM8 HOWEVER this was on early firmware, hopefully things got better since? Although U8K has better upscaling and motion than the QM8, it's contrast is a step behind.

[@michaelzoran]

QUESTION: Mr. Fomo, can you please do a review of this Toshiba 65" TV. I saw it on sale multiple places recently for only $329. I know it is only 60hz. So, I don't expect it to be fully optimized for 120hz Gaming. And I don't even expect the Direct Lit TV to be fully optimized for HDR or Dolby Vision with movies. However, I am stuck in a rut this year. I was hoping to get a 75" TV set this year that was IPS with Mini-LED and an ATSC 3.0 tuner, and two HDMI 2.1 inputs with a separate eArc channel. But, NONE of the TVs have lived up to those expectations for a decent price. I had my eye on both the U8K and the QM8, but both were disappointments. Here's why: The Hisense U8K 75" made me happy because it is a IPS TV set - which should mean it has very good viewing angles. But it disappoints me because it only has the "8-Bit plus FRC" panel - which by default means it may be able to get away with "Simulating" the 10-Bit HDR, but has ZERO CHANCE of "Simulating" the 12-Bit Dolby Vision signal. I like the way it has an ATSC 3.0 Tuner. But, I don't like the way it has an eArc channel that uses one of the two HDMI 2.1 inputs. This means only one gaming console or PC can use an HDMI 2.1 channel. I have an Onkyo THX Ultra A/V Receiver that has HDMI 1.4 inputs, so I would need both of the HDMI 2.1 inputs, with the eArc on s separate channel. TCL seems to be the only company with enough brains to do it that way. The Hisense QM8 was very impressive at first. The QM8 has a true 10-Bit panel that allows for the "Simulating" of Dolby Vision. Unfortunately, the QM8 uses a VA panel with, "Terrible Viewing Angles." I don't like that. I also think it is terrible the way the QM8 does NOT include an ATSC 3.0 Tuner. I do like the way the QM8 has two HDMI 2.1 inputs and a separate eArc channel. The TV sets just don't get it right this year. I will have to wait another year. But, I don't want to be with my crappy 26" TV again for ANOTHER year! So, I'm considering this 65" Toshiba TV for this year, and then giving it away to a family member next year IF either Hisense or TCL get it right in 2024. What are your thoughts about the quality of the Toshiba 65" C350 TV primarily for Comcast 1080p, 1080p Blu-rays, 480p DVDs and Xbox One non-HDR gaming?

[@dperr338]

TCL has bad processing, Hisense is overly blown out and too bright not accurate, Sony is best for processing, color accuracy, etc. But Sony is the worst for blooming. I’m going with the Sony. Every LED is going to have some blooming so that’s a weak reason to choose one over the other IMO. Processing, contrast ratio, brightness, UI and price are all better reason to go with a particular tv. Sony is best, TCL a close second, and Hisense is the worst.

Would have been nice starting out with no or as little smoothing at all, because some people don't like the SOE. The better the processing, the less smoothing would be necessary. The lack of blooming on these TV's - especially the Sony (except for the black bars) was pretty impressive.
