Awesome content as usual Vincent! Please can you test the C745 as well?

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

[@onclebat7112]

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.

[@RapHipHopSourceStyleZ]

did they fixed it? is it only when there is no dolby v or hdr or always?

[@tecnogadgethd]

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 ?

[@user-oq4rm5ci9p]

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.

[@blackcaesar8387]

13:20 Thank you for the 4k 144hz nvidia custom resolution settings! I have been pulling out my hair for weeks trying to figure it out. They worked flawlessly for my 85in qm8. And yes, VRR and HDR sill remain active (game mode only).

[@chriskautz3245]

I just wanted a bigger TV than my LG Oled 55 B7 ( still perfect and no burn it ) I opted for the C745 75" as I don't need a bright panel as my lounge window faces north , so room never gets the sun . Have to say I am quite impressed with the model and the price ( £1099 for a 75") was a no brainer . Cannot fault HDR/Dolby vision etc

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.

qm8 is the tcl c955, which is unavailable in the UK

[@mattiacarraro1041]

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. I have had this TV since August and I am not at all satisfied with it.... Hope it helps

@@mattiacarraro1041 I couldn't get 144hz either no matter what I tried but using the custom resolution explained at 13:20 it worked and now I have 144hz with no issues. Check if your cable is a true 2.1 144hz or more certified because it could be that yours can't handle it

[@ytvanced977]

​@@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.

[@bigorsetomatoesauce6403]

​@ytvanced977 so VRR is like 8K not alot out there atm regarding 8k resolution so no need to stress about the use of VRR for this TV. Is my understanding

[@johnsmithy7918]

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.

I jumped on this immediately in Denmark if youre talking about the Komplett campaign. The 845 he reviewed in this video is the first edition x1 version which had the old mediatek SoC, the x2 version has the newer pentonic 700 mediatek chip matching that of the 805/c955/x955. Having seen the 805 in person, it blew my mind and the washed blacks are just hyperbole at this point in time because noone bothered to review the x2 version.

Is there a way to find out what TCL has addressed in firmware updates and what models they pertain to? Like a list. In 2 seconds, I can find out what was addressed on my LG OLED but, TCL (no comment) doesn't have that. They go through Roku and Google TV but, I want to know if they addressed something in the models I own or one I might buy. It's like trying to find a needle in a stack of needles. I won't buy anymore, because I never know if they address firmware or software issues. Telling me that it's version 12.0 and how to update, all over the internet with zero breakdown or list of anything, is why I won't buy front them anymore.

It is easy to see Vincent knows his stuff but if I’m honest I normally only get five mins into one of his videos before getting bamboozled with all the technical jargon which for me a turn off. I get there are many aspect to finding the strengths and weaknesses of a tv and given the cost of them folk want solid advice but I’m not sure your average Joe wants the kind of deep dive Vincent chats about . 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.

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.

[@blackcaesar8387]

I know it is very costly reviewing TVs from overseas, but It will be nice for Vincent to get the qm8 and actually confirm the similarities/differences with c845., and what the extra dimming zone son the later actually do. 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.

13:20 Why can't you show us the 3840x2160 144Hz input lag? Every time I keep seeing 1920x1080 120Hz input lag times.

[@antos1951]

Agreed.. and 4k 120 aswell

[@N0N0111]

@@antos1951 People need to say this more, the more we say it the faster he will go and search a device that is capable just doing that. OLED gaming monitors are on 240Hz for 1440p, LG will make a 240Hz capable 4K monitor in 2024. 1080p 120Hz results will look very sad on those monitors/TVs.

@@N0N0111 totally agreed i have a gaming pc pretty high end and to not have a 4k 120hz input lag result is very frustrating

Hello Vincent, I’ve been watching your reviews for years now… previously you have always rated Panasonic OLED TVS as being one of the best brands. 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.

[@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.

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.

[@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

Please put timestamps

[@marrow94]

You can have all the brightness and local dimming zones you want, but without a decent algorythm it's useless.

[@kasparov2312]

Would it make a good outdoor TV with that much brightness and if it was in a proper enclosure?

I was planning to buy this tv 75" now IM scared from the comments talking about black bars,,,can please anyone have this tv to confirm or deny this problem with mention how many months of used …thx

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🙏

[@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.

[@McKluskie]

how on earth can you recommend this with such a massive flaw with local dimming ?

[@alyaly6755]

please we need tcl c745 review

[@user-oq4rm5ci9p]

Yep. It would be quite useful

[@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?

[@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

[@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?

[@richardmarkham8369]

Here in Romania, TCL C845 and C935 are in the same price range on 65inch screen. Do you think that C935 is better than C845?

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
