I have a 175” Screen with my laser projector in my outdoor theater, with projector( yes it is 4K) and screen, cost was about $2000, rather have that then spending $13,000 on a TCL.

By the way, you can get a TCL QM8, their highest rated TV right now in the US, 98” for $5000

outdoor theater

Nighttime use only? No streetlights or outside home lighting?

4200 lumen, super bright, just had the back patio redone with sun blocker screen material, live in a semi-rural area, 2 acres of land, so totally dark, neighbors are way too far away, lights in the front yard do not impact, lights in the back are also off when I am watching, except for the solar lights on the fence, which only comes on if movement, like the dogs, same for the Blink Cameras with lights.

Mostly use it during Fall and Winter, during the Spring/Summer, at night and morning, for example, have it on now while on the Life Cycle, watching the news while I pedal.

we had a TCL set and never again the processing on it sucked and it only lived 5 years before it croaked and customer support is one of the worst on the planet.

Depends on what model, TCL, just like all the other companies, have less expensive, where the quality is not the best, to very nice Televisions.

I have the 98” TCL QM8, 2024 model ( their high end TV), it is one of the best looking picture I have seen and receives great reviews.

Then this-

TCL CSOT, a panel manufacturer that supplies several of the largest TV companies, including Samsung, Sony, and TCL, with their LCD panels.

TCL shows off new CSOT technology — and it could be a game changer for LCD TVs

TCL’s panel manufacturing arm is cooking up a wide-viewing angle display that could fix the viewing angle problems that have been plaguing LCD-LED TVs for years.

Panels are one thing. The electronics are quite another.

They do everything in house. As of now sounds like they are having software problems more. Lots of beta testers helping them out. Been following the 98 Q8 and 7.....My Sony is getting old, and waiting for that day

 

[teachsac]

Yeah. I’m looking at the Bravia 7 series. Sony has the best processing.

 

[teachsac]

The 85” Bravia 7 is going for 2499. The new Panasonic w95a is going for 2299.

Best Buy has the 98” QM8 for $3000 right now.

Like I wrote, I have it, works wonderfully.

But I do not use the internal apps, or eArc/CEC.

All my components go into my Anthem processor, out to the TV, never a issue that way.

You gonna get both and report back a side by side comparison?

Can’t afford to anymore. My friend is a founding member of ISF and works on Dolby Vision certification. While he hasn’t worked with this particular set the last I spoke to him, he did work on their OLED certification and said it had the most accurate picture. both the Sony and Panasonic have their own advantages and disadvantages. I’m surprised there’s no discussion at AVS.
