    The TCL is a great TV, but there's some sort of bug where night scenes in Dolby Vision gets brightened up and pixelated with odd colours. Very few scenes exhibit this behaviour, but my brother has caught a couple (he picked up the TCL on my recommendation last year).
    interesting, going to try and watch for that next time i watch some proper content on it. I've only had it for about 2 weeks and haven't watched a lot of HDR on it yet besides Tiger King and i don't think there are too many night scenes or complicated imagery on that

    does the bug show up when using the built in Roku Netflix app or was this on an Apple TV/other set top box? Or it doesn't matter the input source?

    My brother ended up going the OLED route, and after spending time with both the Quantum X vs LG OLED, I would still go with the Quantum X.

    I always thought the Quantum X was poor at gradients, but turns out, it's the Apple TV background that's just poor. The exact same gradient banding was on the LG with some of the Apple TV icons and menu backgrounds. Makes sense why I was pointing out only CG (not Hollywood CGI) imagery has this problem, as it's a source issue. The Quantum X is noticeably brighter peaks for HDR/DV (pretty obvious) so that's a plus. There is 0 blooming on the LG OLED (pretty obvious) but the latest firmware actually fixed 80% of the bad blooming on the Quantum X. It's pretty much non existent except for the most extreme scenes. The biggest takeaway is that for the majority of scenes, both TV's look almost identical, while the HDR/DV scenes designed to showcase HDR, the Quantum X blows the LG out of the water.
    Good to know! Might have to consider a 2020 PQX then; notably Costco doesn’t seem to have an PX75’s anyway.

    He only has Apple TV on it, so it's definitely on that.

    There's one scene in the AppleTV+ "The Morning Show" show episode 1, when the van drives at night, and there's a top view of the van. That scene is completely broken on the TCL in DV/HDR. It's fine with DV/HDR off.

    Just bought an LG B9, definitely happy with it. VRR and 144hz is amazing for gaming on a big screen

    I was thinking of upgrading to this but I have been out-of-touch with TV technology, that I don't know if smart TV's are still cool or not... What the fuck is 8K?

    agreed. Wish it was the 65 but 55 might be better for the space I have in mind...

    I like that its airplay 2 certified, good for an impromptu youtube video or something.

    I think I'll wait for double meat sub times first. I basically don't watch it anyway. To busy making fried rice.

    The image quality, even from cheap LED TVs from Walmart, is very good. I just did this last fall - replace an old Plasma (Panasonic) with a cheap LED.

    Visions is blowing everything out. I upgraded a bunch of HT gear yesterday.

    $2K for an entry level 82" 4K UHD Samsung - https://www.visions.ca/product-detai...RU8000-OPENBOX

    $2.5k for an 85" Sony - https://www.visions.ca/product-detai...sku=XBR85X850G

    Great entry level TVs in darker settings if you want massive size.

    I can't justify spending $2k on a TV. $1k is even pushing it haha. I'd rather upgrade my mattress.

    This doesn't surprise me, electronics are depreciating assets and most of these items are 2018/2019 models. If you can't have a showroom then clear it out the door. I can imagine best buy is going to follow suit soon if they already haven't
