I am aware of that, just pointing it out for others.

Is this a decent budget TV? Does it have sufficient brightness?

Growing up in the 90's, if you'd told me we'd eventually get an 85 in flat screen for 600 bucks, my head would explode.

From rtings: The TCL Q550F is an okay TV for mixed usage. The TV's contrast is decent, but its HDR brightness is just alright, so it's not very good for dark room usage or for watching HDR content as bright highlights don't really pop, and blacks are raised whenever bright highlights are on screen. On the other hand, its SDR brightness is quite decent, and it has good reflection handling, so it's a solid pick for watching SDR content in a moderately lit room. Unfortunately, the TV has a narrow viewing angle, so it's not a good choice to use in a group setting. The smaller sizes of the TV are barebones when it comes to gaming features, although it does have VRR. Sizes bigger than 50 inches have some modern gaming features like 1080p/1440p @ 120Hz, with a wider VRR range.

Thank you for the details. Just wondering whether I should spend a little extra for a better TV.

Hi, There are many factors when purchasing a suitable TV for your home or house. For me, I purchased a cheaper Samsung large TV for $449 and my family has loved it but we are not super picky. The downside of what some may consider "lower end" tv's is that Darks are normally not as clear in the dark and the motion could potentially slowdown in fast-paced movies. For us, we haven't experienced any slowdowns with the lower end TV. We do see the gray though in the dark scenes. But keep in mind, it depends how far you are from your tv, where you tv is and whether you can control the light in the room. I don't normally see a benefit of spending too much on these as I'd rather replace them more frequently. I also purchased the Best Buy membership so I have a lot of time to test the tv.

If you are willing to spend about $168 more, Sam's Club has an 85-inch Vizio TV for $768. It's a Mini LED model with a 5-year warranty, so it seems like a better option.
