TCL QM8 vs Samsung S95B

[tinagel]

I deliberately moved away from the Oled and got myself a TCL c935. Watching a movie on Oled was always very tiring for me, especially because everything was always difficult to see in the dark areas. In the meantime, "depth" or "naturalness" is simply no longer so important to me. I love how the Mini LED brightens up dark areas, it's just so much more comfortable for the eyes to watch TV in the long term.

If you adjusted the colors on your TCL and brightness it would not look like that. I have the 85 inch TCL QM8 and it doesn't look like that unless I have my brightness all the way up so I beg to differ. The colors and Picture quality after you adjust the setting is amazing and the black levels are on point just like the OLEDS.

It's tough to say because I'm watching this comparison on an LCD monitor, but when you say "look at this detail on the QD-OLED and you can't see anything on the TCL" it's literally the opposite for me. I can't see jack squat on the Samsung and I can see far more detail on the TCL.

thanks for the review, very helpful. that being said, I think you went in with some preconveived notions about these TV's, given the OLED vs mini LED difference, because I didn't agree with everything. The colors are very obviously better on the S95B, no doubt. But there was not a significant difference in motion between the two, and the TCL definitely kept up. It's important to keep in mind that the TCL is like $500 cheaper for the same screen size, and is punching well above its weight

Not surprised that QDOLED still won out but Mini LED isn’t a terrible picture. Things have definitely come a long way.

Hey quantum I know the s95b is better than the qm8.. but I would choose the TCL because that's my style of watching movie so I'm glad you say it's the person preference.

[marcsondlucce]

Not going to lie. I dig that TCL brightness. As you say, it comes down to what your preference is. I prefer the brightness of TCL, here.

Which one would you recommend for live hockey brightness and motion rate? In a darker room. On Bell fibe . Thank you

the oled looks to have far more depth on the things that are visible on screen so yes more detail on the samsung but only on the visible areas because it has lots of black crush compared to the tlc also. so saying it has more details is subjective, it has more details in the areas that are clearly visible but the tlc has much more visible areas is another way of looking at it, also i would say the tlc is more what the director was seeing as he was there filming it because despite the slightly washed out red poles on the tlc but you can at least see the red poles on the bottom right hand corner much better then the oled at 8:44. its a really bright day and yes the trees are casting a shadow on that area but not to the extent the oled is showing where they are barley visible at all. there is a lot of black crush going on here on the oled

Man I’m stressed. Can’t decide between 65” QM8 or 65” S90C. Mostly watch Sports and cable TV streamed over YouTube TV… i currently have a Sony XBR55x900E

Hi, do you have any video on the calibration settings for TCL C835?

[bluegobbie]

Hello sir! I like your videos, and they've been SUPER useful to me, but when you talk about depth, color, etc. its really hard for me to tell due to the camera quality/resolution of the footage. I do agree though, the QM8 is overly bright. The footage of kyoto in the alley showed the difference the best, the shadows on the left side on the wall looked far more natural on the s95b.

So wish OLED's didn't have the burn-in issues...our LG burned in the morning news ticker (yellow background ticker)...not acceptable given maybe 2 hours for morning news

Accurate review. My S95B has connectivity trouble. I love the thing, but... yeah lol

[nBasterd]

How about some projector reviews? Only with ALR-screen plz.

The tcl has hdr10+ & the 10plus is supposed to be darker than Dolby vision? Because my NEW 98” S5 s class hdr10+ is so dark when watching on my Amazon prime apps so dark can’t really watch movies .. thx

[rfaucher]

Hi Quantum. Fantastic videos. Thanks. One question … I see you are showing these in a dark room with shades closed. How would they compare in a living room with natural light?

[bucclao]

So the s95C should be brighter than both correct???

[davidcassoday]

Has Samsung restored the original peek brightness levels?

You’re comparing two tvs that are in completely different price brackets. In my country, the flagship tcl is 3.5 grand and the s95 77 inch is 8 grand. The fact that they are even close is a testament to the tcl
