Why I don't review certain TVs

Ever wonder why we choose to review the TVs we do and why we don't review certain TVs? In this video we get into which TVs make the cut, which don't, and why. There's a place for budget TVs, but not in our review room.

After buying a 400 dollar lg back in 2018 I've realized that spending more is definitely worth it

[alexfisher]

As long as you review all the tcls and Hisenses I think you'll always have an audience. There's no point reviewing the bottom of the line TV's because the only people buying them are the ones who aren't watching reviews.

[speer]

I do not have money to buy TVs reviewed by you. But I still watch this channel.

I'm still bummed that you didn't review the Sony x85j. I wouldn't exactly call anything in Sony's line up ever a budget level set, affordable yes but never budget. Sony's line up is fairly straightforward and small compared to what Samsung and LG do, so I'm hoping you'll review everything from the x80k and up this year. In any case thanks for doing your reviews, they are great and we can tell there's definitely some long days involved. 👍🏼🙂

Transparency is the key for integrity
I really respect you for this video
Bc alot of you has been calling u many names and loyalities for the past 7 yrs i have been following
Thank you for your honesty

I'm more interested in the X95K than the A95K this year so I have no idea what I would even want covered on the A95K.

I think your coverage is great. It has the higher end stuff that I am interested in but also covers good value TVs which I try to keep up on for when people ask for recommendations.

[SeanJA]

It’s definitely worth it to get a more expensive TV, I use to get the biggest cheap Tv I could from BestBuy or Walmart, now I stick to the midrange -high end pricing area.

[StarFloyds]

Im just happy that it’s not all measurements on this channel. Some websites and youtube channels get wrapped up in tech specs vs real world performance. Good job Caleb! Have not been disappointed yet.

Vizio P series is exactly what I would like to see more reviews of. While Vizio doesn't make the insanely top of the line videos I've felt like in recent years they do really well in the moderately priced tier

LG C1, one of the best TV’s currently. 55” for $1296, Super Bowl Sunday deal. Worth every penny!

[milohajek]

Trust me, those of us that appreciate your content know that it takes a lot of time.

[edwarda]

You get a “Like” just for the hard work you put yourself through… thanks.

[mmdusa]

And YOU are the reason we are here. We TRUST your opinion. You are a solid reviewer sir. I bought my new A80 based a lot on what you said about it vs. the A90. So, I won't be buying a new tv for a while. But, I promise, I will be watching each of your reviews regardless. Thanks for all you do!

[loki]

For X95K I would want to know about blooming in lit room and dark room and letterbox bars. I also would like to know for both about VRR 120Hz and it if works at full resolution and with local dimming on X95.
A95K nits peak and sustained and the usual.

[Jehdii]

Black levels in Paw Patrol are critical to TV buying though!

[TheTechSwedePeter]

I would love to see reviews of the flagship Philips OLED tvs

[Neeraj-_-_-]

love that you've lost so much weight over the last 2 years you, also when can we expect the a95k review?

[kodkrome]

A95K: how well it can be calibrated for a wide range of content without switching modes. You know how most people watch. Basically if you watch sports, TV, and movies from an Appletv or similar are you still wowed?

Z9K: can we use it as a computer monitor? If I place it 2, 3, or 4 feet from me are the viewing angles any good?

Thanks for the well produced and thoughtful reviews. Keep them coming.

[jeffatkinson]

Makes total sense, your reviews are great, I got the hisense u8g based on your review, it’s a monster for the price, great tv

[pruett]

Great video! Thanks for all you do and the time it takes to create these videos.

It looks like you’ve been living a healthier lifestyle in recent years and getting better with age! As someone who’s recently crossed into the 30’s it gives me hope for getting older and staying healthy.

Cheers
