aside: no TN and VA has nothing to do with each other...

Which panel is better for a TV? it depends on many different issues and it can be part of the overall design. For example, brightness is dependent on the panel AND the backlight.
By the same token, very few tv's do not have some coating or screen in the way that helps diffuse or alter the light emitted from the system. This system can have a dramatic impact on the viewing angles. SO while usually IPS has better viewing angles, there are examples of where VA TVs have better viewing angles than an IPS TV.
also keep in mind different emitter arrays can be used in different systems.. This is why LD OLED may have less burn in than Sony/samsung OLED. It is also why some 42 inch TVs are better monitors than other tvs. Check out rtings.com for quick easy info.
I just bought a QM8 and compared a A80J to it and man it's freaking close how good the blacks are. The QM8 has very little blooming but at the expense of some crushed blacks and I really have to look closely to see differences and the difference are tiny. Only times when it's even remotely noticeable side by side are during scenes with large gradients of grays and dark colors. The QM8 does get way brighter in HDR which I value over infinite contrast ratio the OLED has.

I'm all over this TV when it goes under $700, as my less expensive Hisense with AndroidTV OS is flaking out. That OS is garbage on the TV. Won't power on without a power cycle, very sluggish menus, etc. This should be a worthy replacement.

Is this Hisense screen is superior or something?
I meant the "cheap" 55" SamSung 4K Smart starts from $350 up to $500 for the top trim level
Why the heck I would pay $800 for this Hisense
It's like Ok you can buy a Lexus mid size SUV starting from $50K up to $70K
Why I pay for a Kia mid size SUV for $100K, well because it has V8 twin-turbo and has luxurious interior like a RR, ok that kinda make sense...
Like WTF? Come on someone please explain LOL
- Some minor ghosting, maybe from FPS upscaling? Not really that noticeable unless you look close, I do notice the FPS looks "higher", it might be a remnant of that, I'm not a super geek with media so someone else tell me what they think
- The Android Jellyfin app can't play high (super high) bitrate / REMUX content well, it will freeze, though it can direct play most media otherwise just fine
Please DM me if you want me to stress test it otherwise, happy to send more info here or somewhere else if wanted. I have a good amount of high end media to play via Jellyfin / Kodi / etc.
