I've got the 75" as well and you dialed it in perfectly . The QM8 is too bright for my room and the Q7 has that perfect balance of colors , contrast and black levels . For my needs it's an amazing TV .
This channel is so refreshing. Sticks to the facts and goes by the eye test. I just got through watching another channel review this same tv and they were basically like “this tv looks amazing. So good” then lets computer software convince him it’s not good. In fact he says it’s really bad by the end of the video.
The Q7 surprised me honestly. I have a 48 inch C2 in my bedroom and oled is definitely a game changer. But i got a 65 inch Q7 for my living room and the contrast is great. The Q7 is not perfect but it definitely punches above its weight class. I got my 65 inch for $700 two months ago but now it has dropped to $635. For the average consumer that doesnt want to pay oled prices, you cant go wrong with the Q7
I agree I have a 55" g3...and it's phenomenal...but $700 for tcl I also have or $2,400 for the LG...No way Is there a $1,500 diff. I don't care HOW DEEP, THE blacks can get on an OLED ..my pockets NOT as deep as the blacks 🤷♂️🤣✌️
Just got the 65” Q7 at Best Buy for $699. Looked the best to me on the wall in store! So far I really like it. Replacing a 7-8year old LG with bad burn in on white screens! I’d recommend this tv. Used to use Apple TV to make my tv smart, but now with this I don’t need it! It is very bright at 100% brightness so I turn it down to 65-70 at night! Picture is amazing! Wonder though if I should have got the Q8 or not. Probably for me I wouldn’t have noticed! Just hope this thing lasts
How would you say it’s holding up, I live in a apartment with a pretty big living room I currently have a 50inch I’m about 14 feet away from my stand I’m considering the 65 q7 or the 75 inch q6 but I will definitely be sacrificing deep colors and overall screen quality if I do get a q6, both are my best options within my budget
I’ve been gaming on this same TV on my ps5 excellent TV for the price I can game at 120fps and then switch to streaming movies easily, I have the 55in right now but I just bought the 75in to put in the living room of my new house I just bought
TLC is such an underrated brand. Bought a LG C3, returned it 2 days later because surprisingly I like my 500 dollar TLC 4K better. I'm not even kidding lol. Their contrast control is amazing, which is the thing i hate about oled.
I purchased a 55” TCL Q7 a few days ago and so far so good. I know calibration settings are not universal and don’t work the same for all sku’s but I used someone’s recommendation settings. Now I’m happy with the picture (settings below). Also I’m not experiencing the picture settings issue with them resetting but it’s only been about 4 days so we’ll see.. I do have a few gripes so far like watching 4K UHD movies on my Sony UHD player not looking great when using Dolby Vision. I use HDR 10 instead and prefer it right now when watching my UHD discs. Also my soundbar doesn’t turn off when powering off the TV and sometimes doesn’t turn on when powering up the TV. Also not a fan of the motion on this TV while watching movies but I’ve noticed that most newer TVs have the same issue with motion handling by stuttering on pan camera movements. I just messed with the motion settings and changed it to Blur Reduction: 1 and Judder Reduction: 3. I might lower the Judder to 2 bc I hate the Soap Opera effect and sometimes the 3 Judder setting might be too smooth for motion handling. Some things that I really like about this TV is it’s remote. Buttons light up when you pick up the remote so no more fumbling with the remote in the dark. Little things like this go a long way. Also another plus is that the HDMI (E)ARC input is a HDMI 2.0 input so you truly get 2 HDMI 2.1 inputs (Inputs 1 & 2) for 120hz gaming. Unlike my Sony OLED that annoyingly takes up the HDMI 2.1 input as also being an (E)ARC input. Another great perk is having actual storage capacity like 24GB compared to some of these TVs only giving you like 5GB (which is ridiculous). And last thing is it’s a Google operating TV which I love. I highly recommend TVs that utilize Google because you get more app control settings like Force Stop for example. Plus its user interface is clean and simple or at least it is in my opinion.. Overall I’m happy with this TV especially for $448 (sale price right now at Best Buy, normally $599). I’d give it 4 out of 5 if I was to rank it. 😊 Calibration settings for “Movie”: 2 points: R Gain -2 G gain 0 B gain -16 R off set -2 G off set -2 B off set -3 20 points: Interval 4 Red -3 Green 1 Blue -4
Funny u ask I own BOTH the Hisense U7k and the TCL Q7 both in 55" . Both phenomenal deals same pri e range . Equal in features. If you have the latest and greatest Xbox Series X or Playstation 5. I'd say lean toward the TCL Q7..as it does up to 144hz gaming and not only has VRR but AMD V-Sync premium pro...but BOTH great even if you do game ..If u plan on gaming on a high end PC then def. The TCL because the xbox and ps consoles top out at 120hz for gaming where as a powerful gaming pc can take advantage of the 144hz @4k as well ✌️✌️
With this Tv I would be skeptical of buying an open box. The tv is amazing but they did have QC issues. Chances are it was returned for a reason. I bought the 55 inch for my bedroom and it was an open box. It flickered and the picture was “grainy”. I returned it and got a new one that has had no issues
I just ordered an open box "Excellent Condition" 65 inch q7 for $640 from best buy. So excited to pick it up tomorrow! I feel like I got a pretty good deal.
@@FrostyBud777any word from either of you guys about the TVs? I’m looking into getting a q7 55” myself and would love to know what you guys think so far!! Bad news or good news haha, cheers
I have both Series X and PS5 Slim connected to this TV and both show inverse ghosting with VRR. No solution has worked to resolve this so VRR is disabled only true negative I have it is a gorgeous TV.
I need help, every time i click on the international link of your videos i end up on a amazon page with tv screen or gaming display that similar but not exactly what you've reviewed. And i already got screwed with my gaming display, i'd like for my tv screen to be the one you reviewed and not some "not that good" version of it. Can you help ?
I'm rebuying the Q7 55-inch. I had it and returned it. I bought the Hisense U8K thinking it would be so much better. I'm returning the U8K less than a week having it. Horrible dirty screen effect and vignetting in the corners. There's noticeable light bleeding in the bottom left corner. He comments that when the screen is just a black screen, it looks uniform. That is what I remember of the Q7 also as the U8K full black screen looks cloudy and uneven. Another deal breaker is the viewing angle. It's horrible on the U8K. When you barely go off center, the picture quality drops off quick and looks washed out. The Q7 wasn't like that. The upscaling on the U8K is a lot better though. I'd say if your main use for the TV is gaming, get the Q7. If you're mainly watching TV and streaming Netflix or similar apps, the U8K is better. The U8K local dimming is odd. If doesn't seem to work sometimes when it should. It seems like it doesn't turn on sometimes watching SDR. When watching HDR, you can tell its working cause the blacks are deep, but then its ruined when slightly off center and you can see the backlight on the sides easily. Also the U8K has some dead pixels so its an easy return anyway.
For anyone who has the q7 85 inch, how is the viewing angle when you get awsy from the centre of the screen. I have a 3 seat couch on the left of the centre of the screen. I am afraid that people sitting there will not be able to have a good view from there. Thanks
NOBODY mentioned TV/SPORTS = Motion Would someone be better off with the U8 Hisense for Sports and TV ? Should I go with Sony or what ? On Christmas Day, I want to see basketball and I don't want motion issues or the players looking like Tekken.
Upscaling from what resolution? Most TV's nowadays upscale 720p and greater resolutions very well. Its gotten to the point where Rtings doesn't even grade on 720p upscaling anymore because most new TV's do it very well. They grade upscaling using 480p images. How often are you going to be watching 480p content though? Fwiw I know Sony's with the XR processor are one of the best upscalers for 480p content.
Got this tv a week ago in a 55-inch configuration. The colors and all that look great, and I barely messed with it out of the box. The only problem I have so far is that it hums pretty loud with brightness up, but I game with headphones so it's not a big deal. I also find the VRR iffy especially when the game drops below 60fps. Pretty sure the brightness between 60hz and 120hz is different so you get a bit of flicker. But honestly, if a game is dropping below 60fps in vrr, you might as well just play in a 60fps performance mode with vrr disabled.
I have the same problem in regards to brightness. It does make a loud hmmm noise. I had to turn the brightness low to reduce the noise but takes away from the viewing pleasure.
@milleniumplayer I just ended up turning dynamic brightness on, and I don't notice the sound anymore unless i get right beside it now that the brightness is way lower. I game jn the dark mostly, so not a big deal to me.
SO after trying Hisense U8k, Which vrr and hdr didnt even work, freesync turned off would cuase blacking out screen until restart AND HORRIBLE WASHED OUT COLORS at edges due to extremely poor viewing angle, and then trying the LG a2 oled 48 inch, I can safely say THIS TV IS FREAKING AWESOME. I returned the tcl q7 , hisense u8, and lg a2 oled and THEN bought a new TCL Q7. I love it. for VRR performance, ONLY USE HDMI PORT ONE, It is the only one that supports amd freesync premium pro, 144 only supports Forum VRR not freesync premium!!! IT FIXED MY GHOSTING!!!!!!! Make sure your framerate stays high, but even at 80 fps, the horrible ghosting is gone on HDMI port 2.
Hey man, I got myself a 55-inch as well and I haven’t been able to get it up to 120hz. Do you know how you got it up there and mind telling me😂 I usually just play fps games like fortnite or call of duty and it just stays at 60hz. It would be appreciated my guy!
I seen this one in the store and thought it was oled but not....colors very bright comparable to Sony and LG...and the price!! Games demo looked sick at 120 frame... Yeah i picked one up
The M stands for Mini-Led which is a newer model that offers higher brightness and nits. Basically higher better brightness and slightly better processor. The QM7 will be good for more natural light settings with more light in a room, like a living room, a darker space might like a darker TV better like the Q7. The Q7 has 1000 nits, QM7 has 2400 nits. Hope this helps!
I’ve been seeing mixed reviews. Hopefully it as good as you say I just ordered the 55 inch for 500$ on amazon. Here’s hoping it’s better than my old D series Sony….
One way would be to download them onto a USB and insert it into the tv. Then go to settings and screen saver, then select your own photo's. I'm sure there are other ways, but I haven't tried to figure any of them out.
Now I'm completely confused. I listened to another review and although he gave it high marks in some areas, he gave it a thumbs down overall. My current TV is a Sony analog made over 20 years ago😁. You turn it on and it works. Nothing much to mess with. Oh well.
I got the Q7 for my living room and I honestly dont watch a lot of hdr content on it, but it handles it very well with the high contrast. Regular cable looks good on it too. But for the price you cant go wrong with it! Also its competitor is a Hicense U7k and a step up from the Q7 is the QM8. There a lot of options to choose from and you just have to find which works best for you at your desired price point. TCL and Hicense have been really competitive lately with the larger brands
@@Bdot888 Thanks. I know there are so many options and much higher priced tv's. It is just a difficult decision when I look at reviews by regular consumers on pretty much any tv I have looked at. One person will say it is great and then the next will say the exact opposite.
@@manilowmaniak yeah theres too many options for sure. Just have to research what you find important in a tv. Most tvs will have their quirks, just have to find what you are okay with
Hey man, love your RU-vid video. I need your opinion, should I get the Alienware 2724dm or should I get the LG 34GP63A-B. I’m real big on my games looking really beautiful with colors and life like details. What you think?
I'm on a xbox series s and when I activate game mode it starts flickering can I get suggestions on settings or should i just return it? It's running 4k 120hz just fine with the 4k hdmi cord but when I activate game mode it flickers in the slightest way that makes it annoying.
I like the TCL better because it is much better with blooming and dark scenes, much better contrast, because I have an IPS gigabyte M 32U monitor and dark scenes are absolutely horrible on it. Lots of IPS glow. Makes dark scenes look horrible. I don’t want that on a 55 inch TV or lots of blooming from bright objects on a dark scene. I’d rather lose a little bit of color and adjust it myself then to have horrible looking dark scenes in many of the movies that I watch including stranger things
I just ordered the TCLQ7 on Best Buy because it’s $100 off for the 55 inch model. In May this model was $750 now it’s only $500 on Best Buy. it includes AMD free sink premium and HDR 10+ Dobie vision and 4K at 144 Hz. I will receive it in two days and I’m very excited
I originally purchased the Samsung Q60 since it was on sale for Black Friday. My Hisense QLED from a few years ago developed some sick screen burn. My hope was to get an upgrade or at least equal value to that TV. After a week with the Samsung and doing more research, including reviews like this one, I returned it for the TCL. I was worried since I figured Samsung is the best, and perhaps they are in some areas. I am so glad I got this TV so far. After some calibration, the picture is amazing! For the value, it’s an excellent choice and I would recommend it for sure. I certainly like the picture more than the Samsung. Features are easy to use and the remote has a backlight which is pretty dope. Don’t sleep on this one!
after trying the q7 tcl, hisense u8k, and the lg a2 oled, I rebought the TCL q7, this tv is perfect. Best viewing angle, best colors, best speed, and best weight. I HIGHLY recommend it. For VRR and gaming, Only use hdmi port 2 to eliminate inverse ghosting.
This should be here in two days the 55 inch Q7, I will be able to play the day before and the best TV in the price range in the world. cyberpunk is also getting updated. And if they add FSR three support soon, I will be able to play 4K 144 Hz cyberpunk on this TV. The immersion will make me so motion sick I’m so excited. Everything will look so 3-D
We have this TV for $569 for the 55" inch version here in Manila. Looks like a very good value considering its gaming and black level performance. Will probably buy it next month as my old one gave up already. Thanks for the review.
