Are you going to do the QNED89T 98"? Like to see it compared to the Sony X90L 98" and the TCL QM8 98" ..

Are you?

[@aliazimi6066]

Would you recommend this over the 98” x90L? I was originally going to get the 85” Bravia 9 but I feel like 98” would look better on my wall for full immersion.. and now I’m stuck between this and the x90L, only cus all my Sony tv’s I have do an incredible job with processing, color accuracy and up scaling.. so I’m kinda stuck on a choice lol

[@atsoit314]

I have the same question

[@ShadBiltz]

I am in the same boat. For me it's between the sony and the Qm8, both are at $5k right now. I watch a lot of movies and sports, specifically NFL & Hockey. I have an old 85" sharp tv and ready to upgrade in size as well as quality.

How was the Upscaling? So which would you pick over all under 10K in 98"? Sony 90xl, Samsung 80C, Lg 89T? Quality picture wise? Some don't have Dolby Vision. Antenna Tv and movies primarily. Please help me decide

[@spacemanwho]

[@amitavraja3385]

Wondering how is this model different from the UK version. Is the QM8 Better than the UK version?

[@TheValiantZero]

You said this doesn't have the same depth as OLED, at least initially. After your tweaks, is it 90%+ close to OLED, or still lacking OLED depth?

[@BTheInstaller]

This is a great tv. There is always a small difference from OLED vs QLED. But this is huge and bright. I wouldn't hesitate in buying this and it's far better than a few years ago like R646 TCL for example.

[@nymods4631]

Is the price coming down on Black Friday or should I pull the trigger now? It's 4K at Best buy

[@craigosterberg5045]

If you need a 98 inch this looks like a good one.

[@ryans413]

And the price is good 5k for a 98” while the Sony Bravia 9 65” starts at 4k

Suggestion for 98 inch tv mount?

[@Chris_94]

@ B the Installer Hello B is the LG QNED80 from 2023 a good living room tv? I'm looking at the 50 inch model with a VA panel. The living room is bright with lots of light medium sized. I saw the panel in store it's 120hz so movement is smooth, the colours pop and since it's VA blacks are decent despite the tv being edge lit. The panel is also bright and with the 120hz refresh rate will be perfect for watching sports

[@BTheInstaller]

Watch some tcl S5 videos instead.

[@Chris_94]

The best way to test a tv processing is to connect cable tv box with 1080i with some low resolution sd content then watch variety of programs. Differences between tvs here are like day and night. You will feel like throwing through the window ANY tcl tv.

Here is my struggle this 98 is currently cheaper than the 85 inch bravia 9, now the bravia is the better overall tv but its close and in some hdr scences the qm8 is even brighter, the immersion of a 98 inch is just another level but then the bravia 9 is the best mini led on the market, decisions, decisions.

[@MadLadsAnonymous]

It's not just brightness, right? Sony has the best colors AND processing-motion, upscaling-on the market. That's where their engineering prowess shines.

All the main stream contents r fast moving towards to 4k last 3 yrs . The 100” view is next level enjoyment . I saw 120” wall display at public space , Spatular .

Wait until next year, in China the real TCL flagship is the X11H, the 85 inch has over 10000 zones. The X11H specs will normally be sold as the QM852. I say specs, because I noticed that the design isn't fully the same. The design is more premium on the X11 series. Nice of TCL that they let us " beta " test the TVS that they will say a year later globally, haha.

@6:50 Nope, for sure not sports, and not many movies. I’d use for anime & gaming. QM8 for sure seems to be best value jumbo TV! Might as well spend the extra like $1000 from the cheap models, but then after this is LG’s 97” which can’t justify that price jump :( Hoping it drops to $10K msrp in couple years when I’m ready to upgrade

[@Loki_Games4Fun]

It's a shame that they don't put laptop components in such televisions, and the most powerful ones, so that they add the possibility of a PC, because how thick the TV is, you could definitely put a high-end PC inside such a TV, of course you would also need high-quality fans and the price of the TV would be much higher .But it would be great to have a TV that has a PC option in it, so you get another piece of hardware, and depending on the price, it has integrated SSD memory and RAM, so depending on the size, the price is higher or lower, and you can also upgrade the ssd , and that it comes with more USB ports and that it has the latest 4.0. So with the TV you get a keyboard and a mouse, and when you want to play a game you can just switch to PC mode and play, the TV would also have a Blu-ray reader and printer, so you could play the disc version of the game, not just the digital one. Depending on the strength of the PC component, processor, ram, ssd, you can play the most demanding games that exist today, from the oldest to the newest, and of course it has a Microsoft Windows OS. I would immediately buy such a TV and that the strongest model.

[@michaeldietz2648]

Things you might want to cover going forward how did he standard DVD and blue rays upscale, How did a 4K Blu-ray look on it which should be the standard thing to bring up because that is the highest pitcher and sound quality image you can get. Anything streaming looks like garbage compared to a standard Blu-ray. A TV real test is going to 4K Blu-ray. If you’re going to buy a TV like this just for streaming then you might as well buy the cheapest TV possible. Netflix and all streaming services gives between 8m and 15m (that means sound, and video is severely compressed) A standard Blu-ray gives you approximately 140M. If I was going to buy a TV like this, I wouldn’t know what the best things look like on it. What’s gonna separate it from something else? if you’re just gonna use this for streaming, you probably wouldn’t be able to tell the difference between this TV and $100 TV

You missed the most important element to any TV would be what the TVs maximum capabilities are and you’re never gonna get that from any streaming. Now don’t get me wrong streaming is the most popular way for people to view movies so in that aspect, I understand but the type of people that are buying this type of expensive TV most likely are movie enthusiast and they’re not ever going to stream anything. The reality is streaming is garbage for picture and sound quality compared to even a 1080 P blueberry. Nobody is buying this TV to stream.
