About this deal

The HDR performance certainly benefits from the 20 stops of dynamic range, and from selectable dynamic tone mapping, so that should the HDR content be defined right up to 4000 nits, the brightest whites won’t simply crush, they’ll be mapped to the abilities of the panel. Consumers often like the Chromecast built-in because even if the OS doesn’t have some apps you can always cast it via your phone. Samsung uses Screen Mirroring which allows casting from your phone. Gaming features Curiously this all changed after a firmware update, when the Hobbit movie’s Dolby Vision HDR invoked an automatic selection of Dolby Vision IQ as picture mode, but with options for Dolby Vision Light, Dark, and Game. This, however, removed any ability to influence motion settings. Processing is really great as well - far better than the Hisense I came from. This thing is bright I had to dial it down straight out the box even in movie mode. UK punters who wanted those HDMI 2.1 features would have been disappointed, sure, but not felt betrayed & lied to.

Comparing Samsung Q60 vs TCL 6 series , we see that the TCL 6 series has higher refresh rate, higher contrast ratio and brightness. Between these two, TCL 6 series is a better choice. Speakers With no audio sync adjustment on the hi-fi amplifier, we sought a solution. Easiest would have been to run the optical output of the TV to the amplifier – the TV would delay the audio to match the video. But because the connections were on the right side of the TV, we didn’t have an optical cable long enough. Is there a promotion on TCL 55C826K 55 Inch Mini LED QLED 4K Ultra HD Smart Android TV in next week’s Costco leaflet? Just be aware your never going to be able to take advantage of the 4K/120 as a gamer. Due to the half resolution issue it’s more like 2.5/3K with 120fps. Not saying that this TV is trash, but at this point it has potentially critical issues that prevents it from functioning as advertised, especially when it comes to 4K 120hz support over HDMI 2.1. Until an in-depth review is published by a reviewer that analyzes these issues, its true performance is still a mystery.AV : LG 65CX OLED-Marantz SR5010-Panasonic UB900-Focal 726v 5.1 HiFi: Arcam A38-Arcam CD82T-Teufel Connector-Focal 726v Having said that - hardware is great. The panel is absolutely flawless and the soundbar does it's job so all in all I am over the moon. Was your OLED a Philips POS9002 by any chance? I had the same, but the screen burn wasn't the usual static logo screen burn it was a large blob in middle of the screen. I have taken the brightness down to 65. Yesterday I was on the TV for a good solid 10 hours and I actually felt eye-strain as it was just too bright even in movie mode.

Some press shots of the C825 include a "magic camera" for Google Duo video calls, too, possibly in a similar vein to the Portal TV webcam or the pop-up camera of the Honor Vision, but we'll be able to give you the full lowdown once we've put the TV through its paces for a review. Their firmware sure needs some work. My HDMI ports are very temperamental - sometimes the TV does not see connected devices and I need to restart or unplug the device. That doesn't sound good at all. Is it possible they plan to update the ports to HDMI 2.1@120hz at a later date with firmware? On the other hand, if you are a hardcore game and want a compatible TV for PS5 or Xbox, then it should support 4K@60 Hz, 4k@120 Hz or even 8k@ 60 Hz. Another factor is, it should support HDMI 2.1 along with other advanced gaming features to minimize screen tearing, stuttering and juddering. Screen SizeThat suggests they are different models and clearly there is a specification disparity. Well spotted as I was mildly tempted. Only thing I have found is that I have managed to trip the local dimming up already in 4k HDR - you can maybe try to see if you have any success yourself:

Both the TV brands produce 4k and 8k TVs. Samsung has the tendency to allow the TV to blend with your interior and with updated and newer models Samsung tries to improve things like view angle. The mini-LED technology is used by both these brands. The 826K - This has a 120hz panel but a cheaper HDMI chip that only does 2.0. So while you can watch 4k 120hz content on the screen you can't input it via the HDMI. Effectively making it redundant..... odd thing to do.Comparing TCL vs Samsung TVs, the TCL has higher brightness but it should be much higher given that they are QLED TVs. You can easily use them in well-lit rooms. Overall, you will enjoy movies and shows with precise details even in dark scenes. TCL has an attractive option where it has TV models with two different Smart OS. So if you are a TCL fan, then you can choose between Android TV and Roku. Roku is another attraction because it is known to be one of the best and smoothest Smart OS among all. The latest models of these TVs use Artificial Intelligence which is a big advantage in terms of picture.
