Excellent review Vincent. Any comments from your contacts at TCL about the problem of the black bars (local dimming algorithm) and the APL dependent colorimetry ? Do they plan to fix it with updates or should we not count on it ?

[@ДмитрийКузнецов-п8ч]

Yea. The most important question

[@Hobo_X]

Don't ever rely on TCL for software updates. They have had 480p scaling issues in multiple TV models of them for like 4+ years, which they promised to fix in updates, and it still hasn't been. Only factor in updates if it is already available _before_ you buy a product.

[@Kurnazify]

Hello. If you read this go ahead and buy the miniled. There is 0 diff between OLED side by side in terms of image quality except you don't get burn in and the reflective mirror of the oled will drive you crazy. Only con of the miniled is the viewing angles.

Black bar issue is really a heart breaker. I own this TV and love everything about it except for black bars with cinemascope content… hope TCL will come with an update by the end of the year or I will have to ask for a refund, this issue is not acceptable with mini led technology.

The black crush of the QN95C at 1:46 is the reason I always used my Q90R with local dimming set to low. I did lose some peak brightness but on the plus side I also lost some blooming-strength, increased shadow detail and still kept some of the deep blacks and the lovely QLED color richness. I hope a similar compromise is still possible on the QN95C.

Great review, Vincent. ;) To get rid of the mute icon just enable the Multisound in the sound part of the menu ;)

Have no idea what TV this is relative to U.S. models. All of the U.S. models are "Q" or "S" models, I believe. The stats don't exactly match the QM8, which is an "8" series and mini-LED. It appears the global model line still uses a lot of "C" models. Makes comparing a bit confusing.

HI, I have this TV and no, they didn't. It also has bad ghosting artifacts when using VRR. In game mode with DTM (detail) brightens the image too much, whereas, if you choose HGIG, you get a somewhat good balance, but the image darkens too much Also, if you are going to use 120hz on pc (144hz never worked...), you have to limit the bandwidth to 40gb with CRU, otherwise you will have intermittent video signal drops.

​@@mattiacarraro1041VRR is broken on this TV, I disabled it on mine and it's not a big deal to me personally as I believe VRR is not that good of a feature. On consoles it's actually useless in many games because many console games have a fixed fps and basically never drops from the target. On PC, If your GPU isn't powerful enough to hit your monitor refresh rate then you can always manually set a fps limit slightly below the average fps your system runs a specific game at. VRR is only really useful to prevent stuttering in unstable games where there are regular fps drops.

I won't buy anymore, because I never know if they address firmware or software issues.

That’s not to say it’s not valuable but I really would like a shorter more to the point review along the lines of … for £1000 buy this because it’s just the best you can get for the money because of the following reasons ….. Clear and concise. I certainly wouldn’t buy a tv I had to adjust the settings on depending on the type of programming other than to say switch between a movie or a sports mode ( for motion tracking) , never mind adjusting brightness. I would certainly take a recommendation from Vincent I just wish it was one I could understand without all the jargon.

[@SveinOlavLarsen]

Had the TV for a while now and this review is pretty much spot on! Coming from a OLED to this took a bit getting used to but I’m overall OK with the image quality. I went with the 75” model and it’s very fun to watch movies and play games at this size. Colors are a bit crazy, especially reds so I need to adjust that. But the biggest issue have been Motion Clarity suddenly not working. With both Blur and Judder reduction having no effect. Only solution when it happens is to do a reboot in the menu. No idea what triggers it to stop working.

QN90C is a huge step forward and has the least blooming of any LED LCD TV. The x85 doesn't even have any local dimming while the QN90C has 720 dimming zones. The only better LED LCD is the Sony X95L which costs a lot more money

I've seen several reviews and video comparisons showing how U8K has almost ZERO blooming nearly identical to OLEDs with significantly deep blacks. That TV is a beast. It had $100 knocked off its price just a few days ago in Canada (yes I'm closely watching for a good price drop) and am sure its further going to go down here as well as in other markets. The U8K also seems to edge out TCL's latest and greatest, the QM8, as per several reviews -- its not as bright as TCL at peak brightness but extreme brightness levels are reserved for HDR content at/above 1000 nits which U8K is capable of handling with 1,500-nit peak brightness.

Qm8 reviews have also noted the inaccurate EOTF tracking, but as some one who has been using the 85 inch qm8 for almost a month now, I have seen absolutely zero issues with the local diming feature in regards to black levels. Black bars are almost always OLED like. Some comments here seem to suggests the extra dimming zones will not matter, but surely having 2x dimming zones on the qm8 should brute force past whatever limitations the local dimming software currently has.

I have a TX 55FZ802B which i purchased in 2019 (2018 Model). Just had the screen replaced under the 5 year warranty as i had a few pixels blown but the major problem was a bright line across the top of the screen.. all I wanted to say was wow what a difference now with the new screen, i guess the screens must deteriorate a lot over a few years… what do you think?

[@theonewithin609]

OLED's wear out over time. Well known. Regardless of brand or make. It's just how the tech works. Even LCD will lose brightness over time as the LED backlight wears out.

[@StevoHDA]

not tested here is response times at different framerates with vrr, thr further the framerste is from 60 or 120hz then the more overshoot, pretty annoying

[@HangryReviews]

Please put timestamps

[@AudiophileHeaven]

4K 4:4:4 is not working under any circumstances... Not sure if there is any secret, tried all settings...

[@baronadh6203]

Thanks for your review. Silly question but how do you get to the settings at 13:20 to change them. Is that through the tv?

Hi, Does the TCL C845 have PVR/Timeshift function or not? On TCL global website in the specifications (additional feature) for all C845 display sizes is written that the the TV has PVR/Timeshift (Comply with different regional standards). A few of my friends have this device, but they can't manage to operate it, there is not such function. The C845 did recognize the external SSD and HDD via USB Port, but they still could not bring to work any PVR/Timeshift function on it. Did you find such function and it works? if so, how and where it's possible to use/start it on an european regional C845 TV? Thank you.

[@mfahadb001]

Please Review TCL C755 55"

[@rafalkowalski4349]

Hello Vincent, you are an expert on tv, I have a question for you, I currently have a tcl c825 but I want to change to a newer model, a better choice will be tcl c845 or hisense u8k. Thank you in advance for your answer and best regards.

[@johnpearson9209]

The TCL QM8 has over thousand dimming zones and just over 2000 nits brightness. I wonder how it would compare. 65 inch under $1300 USA model.

[@MrBazzyK]

Hi, is the TCL 85C845K C845 simply the 85" version of this TV with the same panel etc?

[@KhalidKhalid-pl2td]

i bought c845 last 3week ago do you have calibration hdr sdr settings for us? please answer me i just looked all reviews i didn't find any calibration settings also in google i can't find them what i do/:

[@tecnogadgethd]

Nobody has a “calibration” settings to share, what you are asking is “configuration” settings, a completely different thing. Calibration are insidious for each single unit of tvs, with measurement equipment.

[@KhalidKhalid-pl2td]

where would i find "configuration" settings? also thanks for answering🙏

[@thiagodelgado3128]

Vincent is possíble you say How is the pwm flickering frequêncy of this tv or If is FLICKER free?

[@alyaly6755]

please we need tcl c745 review

[@ДмитрийКузнецов-п8ч]

Yep. It would be quite useful

[@bwxmoto]

Do you guys ever test the audio delay when using eARC with a home theater when using another input for the source, for example hooking up a PS5 to the TV, then using the eARC for audio on a receiver? My TCL 55R635 is not bad in a lot of ways but the audio delay makes me want to throw it in the garbage and buy a new TV sometimes. I don't see much coverage of this problem with TVs. When playing a vid from an internal app such as Netflix, there may or may not be a delay with audio depending on the app. Amazon Prime was always the worst while other apps are fine or not bad enough to be a problem. You can't use lip-sync settings as it only delays audio further. Also for gaming it wrecks the experience when audio is lagging behind by 1/4 second or whatever.

[@digitalblunt]

Buy a better receiver and connect PS5 to that with eARC to TV

[@bwxmoto]

@@digitalblunt I have a Yamaha RX-A880. It's not the receiver that has the problem it's the TV. And it's not just mine. Tons of them have these same issues.

[@gordanbabic8028]

there is always a 100ms delay when sending sound via eARC. that is what I have read on-line

[@Loki_Games4Fun]

I have a TCL QLED 65C805 and I don't know how to set it up that it shows me Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos when we run a 4K Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos video n HBO Max used to show me, but now it doesn't have that information.when we start the video, so I'm wondering how to activate it?

[@ferdys1705]

great review. I will buy this TV bcs I dont have money for proper one and this is only solution /price/quality I have...

[@tdome3000]

Hello, nice review! Does this model still have the "audio only mode"?

[@user-wj1hp7on9k]

Sure does! I just unboxed mine today and saw that setting :)

[@richardmarkham8369]

Would like to know how this compares to Hisense U8k and U7K. Anyone know?

[@deepblueskyK]

Thanks a lot for this detailed review. Yet, I've got one important question before pulling the trigger and buying this TV as soon as the 'Black week' deals will be offered. Oddly, TCL moved the eARC port to one of the HDMI 2.0 (or even 1.4?) ports. Will there be a great disadvantage when connecting my HDMI 2.1 capable Atmos surround system to the non-HDMI 2.1 port?

[@bauboni]

no, hdmi 2.0 has plenty of bandwidth for eARC, wasting an HDMI 2.1 port for eARC is dumb, TCL made the right choice

[@jeromeverzosa7901]

Between this and the Sony X90L, which would be the better buy?

[@Jza-GZa40k]

Sony anyday it’s not even close

[@3manu3ls0n]

How does this tv compare to Samsungs Q90T? Are the blacklevels worse?

[@assassin3003]

Have these problems been fixed especially vrr?

[@GRIFF22]

Has the HDR black bars issue received a fix via an update. This is a big test for TCL, every review has highlighted it, so are they serious about support?

[@mattiacarraro1041]

Hi, need to buy a new tv. Should I go for this one or Samsung QN94B (which should have american QN90B panel)? Where i live they have the same price Thanks in advance

[@sinterklaasenzwartepiet4267]

Im also considering these two TVs. Tcl is 130 euro's cheaper but that isnt a big deal for me. What TV did you end up with and what would you recommend? Id be mostly using it for 4k content and PS5

[@mattiacarraro1041]

@@sinterklaasenzwartepiet4267 I bought the tcl c845, but I returned it and bought a s90c since I found it under 1000€ It wasnt a bad tv, but tonemapping was overbrightening everything, and HGIG was too dark for me Also, VRR was unusable, inverse ghosting was very severe. I knew VA was were suffering for overshoot/inverse ghosting but with this tv was horrendous and apparently all TCL tv suffer from this.. I cant understabd why no one mentoin it.. Never tried the QN90B, but s90c price has come down a lot and I am veery satisfied with it

[@jankosobucki]

Would you get TCL 55C845 or Samsung QE55QN95B? Samsung is even cheaper in Poland.

[@tecnogadgethd]

QN95B if you want better contrast with blacks bars content (cinemascope)

[@alexkawinski7912]

Hi, i'm thinking about buying a TCL C845K 65 inch, will it be the best choice at £ 1050 ? czy warto dopłacić £300 do Samsung QN90B 65 inch ?

[@hurricane31415]

I'm wondering that too.

[@spalion3]

Which would you choose hisense u8kq or tcl c845 and why?

[@Nick_93]

Where Is RGB limited or full in this TV ?! I have ps5 and tcl c805.

[@0xTomasMartin]

Does anyone know if they did any firmware updates to adjust the issues talked about in this video?

[@aleksandrvarshavin5635]

Looking forward to your test TV Toshiba X9900LE series!

[@xergio1977]

Hi for Gaming (blur, rémanence ´, chroma 4.4.4 etc) what is the best TV ? 😅👍🏼

[@shexahmad4713]

Great video thanks, can you Do c855 review .

[@apoorvacharya3158]

Is it 20-20-0 clicks or 15-15-0 clicks for PS5 hdr calibration on C845?
