Good price if you are looking for a Sony and Mini-LED but an OLED like LG B5 which is at the same price would be better.

Dammit, was waiting for this one to drop on Black Friday but it never came. This is an insta-buy if I was still in the market for a TV.

Nice TV and a decent deal. But, depending on one's needs, the TCL QM8K is likely a better TV for the same price right now. Higher peak brightness (bright room use), dark, inky blacks with triple the local dimming zones, wider viewing angle, and so on.

I think the standout difference for a lot of people might be the Bravia 7 being noted as having "Slow pixel transitions in Game Mode leads to blurry motion." That would really turn me off.

Pretty distinct contrast to my Bravia 8 which has a pro listed as "Nearly instantaneous pixel transitions for no noticeable blur behind fast motion."

Apples and Oranges. The Bravia 7 is a LED. The Bravia 8 is OLED, which has instantaneous pixel transition, like all OLEDs.

It's not apples and oranges when the rtings review lists it as a con and lowers their gaming score--and the con is not on the TCL which is also LCD. Which I was replying to.

My bringing up the the Bravia 8 was incidental, I'm sorry for confusing you.

I'm not the one who's confused here. I didn't want others to read your comments and got mislead. You were talking about 2 separate technology panels as if they were one of the same. I own a 75" QM8K and multiple OLEDs. Love the TCL. It's heads above the Bravia 7.

Where the ever loving F did I say they were both the same panel technology? Even if I was directly comparing them having differing panel types doesn't negate the very real advantages one might inherently have over another.

Do you think LCD should get a handicap in any comparison to an OLED panel or something?

This TV has an ATSC 3.0 NextGen certified tuner, unlike the LG mentioned.

It's mini LED QLED, not a standard LED.

It's much brighter than OLED, if you don't want to watch in the dark all the time.

There's no burn-in compared to OLED.

It doesn't have a glossy reflective screen like the OLED typically do.

I'm not sure what the other person was on about. I read your comments and I wasn't confused at all. 🤷

I have this TV and I play different games, mostly FPS. Haven't noticed any blurry motion in game mode, the picture is stunningly beautiful playing BF6. Brightness isn't an issue either, I had to turn my brightness down to 20 to be comfortable for my eyes in my viewing setting. I think the max brightness is 50. So it's plenty bright and gaming is a blast on it. I don't have any eye fatigue at all like my old Sony which did have slow pixel transitions and blurry motion

I've had this TV for over a year and have never seen this.

When I first got this TV, I was watching YouTube 4K HDR demo videos and ended up going to the eye doctor because of eye fatigue from brightness. I can't see how anyone would want or need a TV brighter than this.

Coming from a plasma, the only complaint I have is that the viewing angles aren't as perfect as plasma or OLED. The only time I've noticed blooming has been off angle. It's a luxury to not have to worry about burn-in. I was always careful with my plasma, but after COVID, I started watching more YouTube content. It did burn in, even with a pixel flipper disc that I used on a regular basis. When I'm watching the TV, I've never felt that I should have gotten an OLED, although you can obviously see the difference when you view an OLED, but this is absolutely superior when it comes to HDR vs. OLED. It's a stunning TV with near calibrated levels of color accuracy when you take it out of the box and better upscaling than TCL or any other manufacturer. TCL will have the edge when it comes to zone count, but it's still not as good as a Sony with most content.

Sony is coming out with a Bravia 7 II, and Bravia 9 II with RGB mini LEDs and much higher zone count. I'm curious what the price will be.

Me too I'm ticked. I ended up going with the Sony X90L for $900 because the Bravia 7 was $1300 at the time. Bravia 7 would've been an easy decision at this price.
