TCL QM7 vs SAMSUNG S90D

[bobby]

TCL is the way forward. If you have the cash to buy Samsung, go ahead. I have both, always purchased Samsung but tried TCL QM8 because of budget constraints for my sons apartment. It blew me away. 2 week later I picked up the QM7. Picture Calibration is relative to the viewer. I like bright scenes and whites to be white, others may not. Price, Dolby Vision (Had not seen this before since I only had Samsung) Brightness, Contrast, True Whites and a slew of menus to adjust each setting has convinced me I no longer need to buy high end names to get the quality I need.

I purchased this 55” qm7 TCL and I found my settings… I started jumping for joy because I didn’t spend $2k and up! It’s beautiful!

Just got my 77 inch s90dd from costco and it is blowing me away. Came from a 5 yo LG LED and its such a difference.

Really impressed with the TCL and the quality of this and other of your reviews.

Am I the only one who thought the TCL often looked better?😅

I got my tcl 55" off of walmart 2 monts ago for $448 never thought this tv will look this good

[ahmedshajeeth]

I also own a c855 mini led tcl from pase past 2 years suddenly my tcl display is damaged without any reason the screen went black suddenly. And then I bought s90d 4 days back. Believe me I never seen a picture quality like s90d mind blown colours and brightness and picture quality

I have the Hisense U8G. Which TV do you think is better between my TV and the TCL QM7 and do you think it would be worth it to upgrade to the TCL QM7?

[greysymphonyearth]

Wow. You're the best Quantum. Your work on the TCL is second to non. I'm curious how it stacks up against the hisense in that same price range.

[luegi]

Hey Quantum looking into S90D between 65 or the 77 inch. Which would you prefer? Definitely will be joining the team for 5$ after I get mine this week

[creemail]

Nice review QTV! Close to pulling the trigger on the QM7 as a desktop monitor with M4 Mac Mini. What are your thoughts of the performance as a monitor?

[FFROM]

It's time for 12bit native TV 📺 panels It's time!

[rolig]

How about the same video with the qm8 with your settings? When I saw the qm8 and qm7 side by side they weren't all that close. The level of detail on the qm8 was simply astonishing. Of course I have no idea what each tv was set to. Thanks for the great video.

[shinobiokata]

I'm shopping for a 98" tv, the QM8 seems like an amazing TV, but the QM7 is nearly half the price. Is the QM8 worth almost double? Watching in a dark theater room

[kendoplex]

All well and good. The Samsung really does look nicer here!

But what's the use if the build quality and processor performance simply lag behind other brands?

[Cody_Codi_Code]

A Samsung S90C is priced the same as the TCL QM851G right now.
Which one are you taking home?

[yoitssmokin]

You made the TCL look really good also what size tv is the S90D

[evis]

I hope you're right because I just bought an S90D!
