TCL makes some great TV's. I recently picked up the TCL QLED 65" 65S55 about 2 months ago and it's fantastic. Good enough that I picked up the 75" version for our living room. But then I decided I wanted to get back into console gaming, so I ended up picking up an LG C2 so I have all of the fancy gaming features. But to be 100% honest, it's not really that big of a difference than the TCL's I have. Sure, the OLED panel looks better, no doubt about it. But it's not as night and day of a difference as I was expecting, and the extra brightness of the QLED makes it a better choice for our bright living room. Considering the price difference, I think the TCL's I have are fantastic. Not a single issue with all 3 TV's, they all work great.

[@RADERFPV]

@Sawyer C. Thank you so much for this detailed response, I really do appreciate it! I've done a little adjustingn and the picture does look amazing. I played a couple of the LG OLED test videos yesterday and was blown away. I like the remote, I like WebOS, I actually like everything about it. My one and only real gripe I'm trying to overcome is squeezing just a bit more brightness out of it when I'm playing Xbox series x. I was playing MotoGP 22 last night and there were certain parts of the track that I had a hard time seeing that were covered in clouds. I ended up switching out game optimizer mode and going into Vivid, and then it was plenty bright enough then. I've been playing around with OLED pixel brightness, contrast and stuff like that. It's my one and only gripe, and only last night did it really actually bother me, it's been plenty bright enough in all other situations. Maybe I'll try disabling Dolby Vision on the series x today since that game uses DV, perhaps regular HDR will be a bit brighter. I was considering the s95b because of the added brightness, but all of the horror stories of bent panels and faulty panels have kept me away from that qd OLED offering. Tizen OS looks like a hot mess too. If you have any tips to squeeze just a bit more brightness out of it while gaming, I'd really appreciate it. It's an awesome TV, and I got it at a great price right before Black Friday, $1,699 for the 65".

You gave no other reason to avoid buying that set and then recommended the hisense that cost more. The mqx is on sale at sams for 999 for a 75 inch and I was thinking about buying it. Would you pay more for a tv with the same issue as another. The u8h is 1500 for the 75 inch. Which would you buy? 75 inch mqx for 999 or u8h for 1500? Or TCL 75 inch 1500?

[@TechWithKG]

I understand the point your trying to make. Brand loyalty is sticking with the brand regardless of the model in my eyes. Having brand awareness if that brand keeps having the same issues is different, Vizio has had many issues the past few years so before you buy I think it be a good idea to look into user reviews and forums on the MQX but the price for a 75 does seem pretty good but for $200 more I’ve seen the 2021 p series which would be a much better bet for a Vizio.

I plan on making another video like this in the future but longer explaining more of the whys like your requesting. The biggest reason I say avoid something over the other is usually when there is a clear technology difference which equates to you getting a better value overall for example, there will be a Direct Lit or Edge Lit TV from the big 3 which is really entry level doesn't get bright enough for HDR at the same price as a Full Array based system maybe even Mini LED from TCL or Hisense which is giving you good brightness for HDR and you also get a deeper black level because of this.

Alexa doesn't work at all, not with my echo or the remote and I have to still use a wifi universal remote hub on a 2021 TV, this is fucking ridiculous. The TV doesn't remember my audio output preference and constantly reverts to the TV speakers instead of routing to my AVR, the CEC is pure shit and doesn't work at all it's totally broken just like the voice assistant integration. And the upscalling sucks and looks like ass. It also doesn't work right with my sync box and I have to constantly power off the TV and my sync box multiple times or else the TV will make snow on the screen, the TV's processing is shit and fucks up the signal and makes snow all the time, and I am using certified cables too, I know the TV can work with this sync box because it does work some of the time but other times I have to power cycle everything multiple times to get it to display without snow. I wish I never bought thit sPOS and just waited and got the A80J which went on sale for the same price I paid for this garbage one week after my return window was closed, I will NEVER buy LG again, their software is trash. The TV is hot garbage and the real kicker is that I could have go the Bravia for the same price instead of this trash. INB4 b,b,b,but muh picture, there is more to TV than just the picture quality like an absolute shit fire of a software experience and an OS that looks and feels like something designed in the late 90's but with all the bugs and flaws of modern day software.

I've had multiple TCL tvs and frankly I think they're junk. None of them lasted more that a few years before they quit working. They are cheaper for a reason. Not because they're just nice guys trying to be competitive. The quality in parts and performance is not up to par. You put them side by side and you'll see the difference quickly. Especially the LG C2. If your looking for cheap to meet a budget, then yes they're great. I think it'd be worth it to just save up a bit longer tho.

[@slumy8195]

toshibas are great even the cheap end. They give them a glossy cover makes colors look great and this is just a basic 4k led nothing else.

[@stefanbachrodt7072]

Yup, I baught a 42" Telefunken for about 180 USD on special about 10 years ago and its still going despite ppl telling me its going to konk out after 2 years cos of the brand. The only issue is the fade which started happening after roughly 4 years but that's thankfully not getting any worse so I'm ok with it. Only looking to upgrade since I want a dedicated monitor for television while I keep this one as my monitor for the PC

[@YeTheGOATNoCap]

Buy a 120hz TV if you can afford it. 4K is a nice bonus but not a huge deal breaker innmy opinion, especially if you're going to use it for console gaming.

[@tac6044]

HDTVTEST, Why has every OLED I have owned (3) have wavy screens? When you look at them from the side while off they have ripples in the screen and reflection are distorted. I hope you can answer me, is this normal?

[@HandWiredAmps]

My guess would be to deal with reflections. The rippled surface scatters the light so you don't notice reflections as much, vs using a matte screen. The glossy screens look so much better, but I have noticed the ripples on several tvs at the store.

[@tac6044]

@@HandWiredAmps The a80k I just purchased was really bad. It also had very subtle tinting running down the left side of the screen when displaying a full white image. After doing some research it appears this is a common issue on Evo panels. This was unacceptable to me so I returned it and exchanged it for the same model today. Neither of these issues are present on this new one. The panel Lottery is real!

[@TechWithKG]

This is a common issue with a lot of OLED panels that aren’t QD-OLED unfortunately. Glad you ended up with a good panel.

Hisense TVs are terrible for PC displays because of the forced image scaling in PC/game mode with "high refresh rate" mode enabled. It's 100% a firmware thing but they seem uninterested in fixing it. Also they're actually using 1.8 gamma when you set the gamma to 2.2, a gamma test pattern will clearly show this.

[@ts6603]

wtf the prices are literaly double in germany ...

[@gaspanda]

It also very much depends on your circumstances . I have just bought a TV - a Samsung. Many reviews said it was expensive compared to other TVs, so I was looking at a similar spec Philips (a European brand) which on paper was a much better TV. However on looking at the detail there was no apps we use regularly or ability to download it (unless you use up a HDMI port for a fire stick). Which for us made the better spec TV almost useless. Luckily we got the TV down in price but don't assume a better spec is necessarily better if a key element is missing.

[@stevezilla2409]

I keep buying the $268 58" extremely loud & beautiful Hisense r6 from Walmart. They don't last but maybe 2-3yrs unless you get a warranty. We've owned 3 & on all of them, the backlighting goes out. If it'll last 2yrs for $268? 4k Roku? I just throw them away & buy another 1

check out the sony x85k. Its been in my radar because of being the only latest tv at 43 inch with 120 hz 4k. No doubt its pricey. But hell I'd take this as a bedroom tv than anything over 50 inch for the sake of saving space. Its also the cheapest tv model with flicker free tech and 0 hz backlight flickering so your eyes will thank you. Most tvs have over 600hz flickering every second which causes headaches just as a heads up if your sensitive to stuff like this as I am.

There’s TONS of benefits to brand loyalty: 1) The menus are the same in all tv’s in your house. 2) The remotes are (generally) the same if you buy the same models.
