Just recently got a 77 inch LG G5 for my mancave area.

This TV makes me want to rewatch damn near everything. The Revenant on 4k Blu Ray looks absolutely insane. Anime looks amazing too with the insane colors and perfect blacks.
The G5's are amazing Tv's

TCL and Hisense :huhldup:

Hell nah..... I actually had TCL once and took that shyt back in few days after I copped it. Never again with TCL. These brands are trash as fukk. That's why they cheap.
Post the model you bought.

Like any other brand, TCL has flagship models, cheap models and mid-tier. If you bought some cheap shyt and had a bad experience, say that.

For the price and QUALITY, TCL has been pushing the envelope in recent years. The QM7K and QM8K QD-mini LED models perform well and go head to head with the overpriced sets from the other brands





We not trippin' over no fukking OLED shyt in 2026 when these mini LEDs are brighter and can match the image in most cases

Ok

I bought a Bravia 8 II last year. Recently there’s two blotch like patterns that have formed in separate places. One is considerably bigger than the other. In the day time you see it due to the natural light but you can’t notice it at night. I purchased Geek Squad protection and I’m under warranty.

I reach out to Best Buy and according to them they can’t do shyt with Sony related defects.

I reach out to Sony and they claim their engineering team detects signs of abrasion :what:

How the fukk could that be if the only mark is related to the blotch originating from the panel?

It’s only after the fact I find out how sheisty Sony is with factory defects and/or part replacement. Now I’m in a battle to get these guys to replace either the panel or the tv altogether and I have to get my money back from Best Buy for pitching me a protection plan that doesn’t protect

DO NOT fukk WITH SONY.
I had a similar issue with Sony years ago and since then, I do not even look at their TVs. They do not cover anything. I had to call them so many times. I found a way to fix the TV myself by replacing the motherboard.
Never have had any quality issues with any of my Sony TVs over the years.

Have an 85in that I got in 2020 and a smaller 40in from the 2010s that I now use as an extra monitor, still works and looks good even tho it's only 1080p

I know a few people with those same brands and they don't plan on going back. LG and Samsung are cool, but for the size I'm looking to purchase, why pay an arm and a leg for something when I can get the same features for less than half the price?

It's wild to me that people be buying these 70+ inch TVs. To be honest never purchased a TV larger than 55 inches and I considered a 65 but decided against it. They just keep releasing bigger TVs and people keep buying them. I remember when 65 was a large TV.
Some people live in nice homes :thumbsup:

I have a 70in TV in my bedroom and trust me, it's necessary because of the viewing distance from where my wife and I lay our heads to where the TV is setup. Just got my basement finished and threw a 55in in the kids room and it looks tiny to me, but perfect for their space.

Your post implies you've only encountered living spaces that are apartments or small homes that are under 1200sq feet.

Spot on. And the information and research is there to do on your own. I bought a 98in TCL during the Black Friday season for my Family Room for 2K, I was going back and forth on the QM7K and the QM8K but after digging into the models, there wasn't enough of a benefit to get the newer model when the 7K tested out damn near identical and in some cases better.

Plus the space the TV is in has mixed lighting, and not a blackout room so the added brightness that comes with mini-LED tech over OLED made it better for my space. They also really don't make OLEDs at that size and I was replacing an 85in in the same space so really didn't make sense for me.

If I get an OLED it'll be for my office setup to be used for video production/editing as a reference monitor for the most part. I think I can fit a 48in on my wall in here without it looking ridiculous

Go to a Magnolia or comporable store and see them next to each other. It'll be clear.

PROTIP: If you buy a non-OLED, never look at one. TV version of post nut clarity:mjlol:

I remember the days when a 46 inch TV was seen as huge lol. The only reason I don't have a 100in TV right now is due to lack of space. As soon as I move, I'm going big (pause). There's games I'm holding off from playing until it happens lol. TVs that size may seem over the top, but a movie night or a dope game on a huge screen with a surround sound system to match just can't be beat.

Man these days 55 inches is like the bare minimum, and that's just for a bedroom. Once you go big it's really hard to go back.
