The number that stopped me in this review isn't the price, it's the color accuracy. Digital Trends measured the QM7L at Delta E 2.6 in Filmmaker Mode at 100 nits with processing off. Last year's QM7K measured 0.8 in the same slot. Under 1.0 is the point where your eye stops being able to find...
The most useful line in the current crop of TV tech explainers has nothing to do with panel physics. There are two kinds of television: OLED, where each pixel makes its own light, and LCD, where a panel filters light from a backlight. Everything else on the shop floor - QLED, mini LED, QD-OLED...
Every few weeks somebody in here asks why there is no 100-inch OLED at a sane price, and the answer has almost nothing to do with what people want to buy. It is motherglass. The raw substrate for LCD panels can be cut much bigger and much cheaper than the equivalent for OLED, which is why LCD...
Strip the acronyms back and there are only two kinds of television being sold. OLED is emissive, meaning every pixel makes its own light, the way plasma and CRT did. Everything else - QLED, mini LED, RGB backlit, whatever the badge says this season - is an LCD panel with a backlight behind it...
Read another best QLED TVs for 2026 roundup this week and the top pick was Sony's Bravia 9, whose own spec box in the same article lists the display type as mini-LED. That is not a mistake on the writer's part so much as a symptom. QLED stopped describing anything specific years ago and nobody...
Build thread worth a look, and worth arguing with a little. First dedicated room for this guy, 7.1.4, and the front of it is a 115-inch TCL RGB set rather than a projector. Marantz Cinema 30 running everything, Infinity Beta on the floor, 8 inch KEF in the ceiling, a Salamander Chicago 245...
Fell into the XR90 owners thread this morning. It was started in June 2024 by someone who had just taken delivery, opening with the claim that it was the best LCD he had laid eyes on and that anyone coming from OLED would not be disappointed. Two years later people are still posting in it.
That...
Tom's Guide has the Bravia 9 II review up and the verdict is roughly what you would guess. Best backlit set they have tested, OLED-rivaling blacks, almost no blooming, an anti-reflective coating good enough that they call it the bright-room champion. I believe all of it. What I cannot get past...
ZDNet refreshed their best Hisense list and the framing interested me more than the picks did. U8QG for best overall, U9N for gaming, A7 for budget. Nothing shocking there. What keeps getting repeated, in that piece and everywhere else, is that the 2026 RGB mini LED sets deliver colour and...
Somebody posted their improvised 5.2 in a rental and it's a tidier job than a lot of permanent installs I've seen. TCL 85QM851G, Denon X1700H, a miniDSP 2x4 HD, KEF Q350 doing left, centre and right with the rear ports plugged, Polk XT15 for surrounds, and a pair of RSL Speedwoofer 10e. The...
Home Cinema Choice has run the TCL 85C805K and the framing is the interesting bit rather than the score: an 85-inch mini LED set at a price ordinary households can genuinely reach. TCL is driving that harder than anyone, and the direction of travel over the last three years has been remarkable...
What Hi-Fi went round the major TV brands asking what is actually happening with 8K and came back with a pile of no comments, a couple of nothing to share right now, and one statement about broader adoption depending on how content and distribution ecosystems evolve. That last one is corporate...
The 2026 Panasonic overview is up and the thing that jumped out at me was not a panel spec, it was the operating system situation. Depending on which model you buy this year you get Google TV, Fire TV, TiVo OS, or in some markets Roku. Panasonic shut down development of its own platform, the one...
On September 15, TCL held its fall product launch, introducing the groundbreaking SQD-Mini LED technology. The event unveiled the world’s first TV powered by this innovation — the TCL X11L SQD-Mini LED, hailed as the new flagship king of 2025. Alongside, TCL also introduced the Q10M Ultra...

This television boasts a resolution of 3840 x 2160 and is equipped with a 512-zone 144Hz panel, utilizing optical imaging...
Sony's presence was notably absent from this year's CES and AWE exhibitions in terms of televisions. However, reports suggest that its lineup for 2024 is taking shape, with a strong focus on high-end flagship products featuring Mini LED technology, gradually shifting away from OLED televisions...
