Yeah, I like the 1972 Zenith Chromacolor because it is 21" in diameter! The remote control is amazing because I can change channels when I’m on my sofa…what a great Idea! Since it’s solid state, there are fewer buttons like, tint, vertical hold, horizontal hold and that special feature, Hippie Eliminator (if you depress the button, it automatically eliminates long hair in the picture and gives everyone a 1964 haircut! Why do I write all of this? Because you need an advanced degree to purchase a new set and figuring out the model names (something like Q90LXLGBTIQ) is extremely annoying.
I’m sure all of these TV’s are generations ahead of anything I looked at in my childhood…but buying any electronics is so difficult nowadays. Would be fun to go back to the "boob tube" for a day!
First off, I like your reviews. But it seems like literally no YouTube reviewer ever takes a look at what the consumer reviews for a particular model or brand are saying. You can research all the major players, like LG, Samsung, Sony, Hisense, TCL, Vizio, etc….and there are so many problems with all these brands. Poor picture, under performing specs, defective after short periods, broken this or that. Cheaply made and poor quality control are big issues. Not to mention extemely poor customer service when something goes wrong. Maybe it’s time to reflect what the average consumers is really getting for their money.
Yikes, A90 had a blinking pixel already.
Daniel, the man.
Sadly OLED gets crossed off my list due to burn in… i use my tv as pc monitor as well, so no. Samsung QLED 75" will be my next probable model. just waiting for my 67" sammie DLP to quit on me. It’s just starting to have some issues after 12 years so we’ll see….
Love this channel for being very engaging informative and on the cutting edge. So that’s why I wanted to ask about the status of Glass-less 3-D TVs ! Why and what happened to them ? pros cons ? versus todays underwhelming 4k and 8k 2D display technologies?
The reason why I think this would be a fascinating topic is because at this point the film industry has chosen to upscale near all the 2K movies and master them at 21:9 which does nothing exciting for a home audience.
That’s where 3-D active shutter technology was far superior . Specifically with gold standard mastered 16:9 gorgeous 3D blu-ray’s such as any any IMAX or Sony , Avatar, Pacific Rim, Transformers ,related movies etc etc …..
So where are the glass-less TVs ? tied up in
Patent issues ? or is everything a cash grab for wall street and Korean Panels at this point?
The A90j has better motion than the C1? Hahahha I wonder how much Sony paid them to Spew that nonsense.
The C1 has the best motion seen on a tv EVER!!!
I ordered the LG A1 (Not the Steak Sauce) today, the C1 is too rich for my blood. It’s gonna be used for streaming mainly (Netflix, Disnkey +, HBO Max, Paramount Plus) but also as a computer monitor.
Sony is is much better, i don’t trust rtings, do not trust rtings, these reviews are useless
What 65inch flat screens has s-video and a built in DVD player ?
His name is Daniel & he looks exactly like Daniel tosh 🤣🤣😂😂
WelI, I found a PS5, got a U6G at $399.99 and Pre-Ordered Elden Ring. I think I’m set! All in a day’s work. I think since Elden Ring is capped at 60fps anyways lack of VRR isn’t a big issue, right? Should be a good budget pick since I only play the Soulsbourne games anyway. Thoughts anyone?
Since u guys cant decide i bought all.
Bought LC C1 – wow 🤩 mind blowing
ordered u6g in India. thanks for your reviews
Hi there , which tv do you recommend for movies on dark room.thank you
I’m cheap, so a u6g it is
I wonder if the Hisense 65U80GQ is in the same range as the Hisense U8G.
I’ve got a TCL 6-series QLED and I gotta say I like it better than the Hisense.
Still can’t find the Hisense ULED 8K in the Montreal area
can you do side by side qn90a vs u8g picture test , gaming etc as i want to buy new tv , thanks
best 75" alternative for the top 65" ones? I mean If I was to buy a C1 or a QN90A 65, what would be a very good alterntive in the same price range for 75"???
I have a question please before I buy, what do you prefer samsung qn90a 65 inch or lg c1 65 inch or sony x90j 75 inch or qn85a 75 inch
I went to bestbuy to buy the a80j 77 inch recently and they didn’t even carry the a90j. I assume because the 83 inch is 8 grand and it’s a hard sell when the a80j is 85% as good as the a90j at less than half the cost.
Daniel!
Some people should not grow beards.
Daniel is back!
You can get LG 55 for 399 in Costco today ..over!
What’s the best alternative to OLED, given all of the LED varieties?
Awesome, thank you! I would add the Sony X90J to the list for a mid-budget LCD panel with great features like 120hz, HDR, and FALD
Never samsung again…have tu7172, after one month motherbord drop dead, then screen drop dead, now will make change for tcl c728….And had samsung before series 6, and after one and half year drop dead
Really appreciate your videos. You guys make it easier for all of us. I’m planning to buy an affordable 85 inches TV for living room, to watch more TV shows and movies. Do you have a good list of 85 inches TV, to pick-up?
Thanks
I believe all OLED screens are made by LG Displays. So how are they all different?
Lg c1 or g1 top…
..
I’m really close to the tcl 6 75"… The price for a 65" C1 is still significantly more money.. I just can’t justify that much money when I can get a great bigger TV. I currently own a 65.
The U8G it’s beautiful, unfortunately Hisense panels usually are pretty bad and you find dead pixels pretty often, also the 2.1 HDMI ports, have tons of issues, i get it for my series x and PS5 but have to returned because of that, such a shame
But when are the 2022 reviews coming out?
i was thinking was Tosh.0 from that thumbnail
Surprised about the QN90A, as the Dirty Screen Effect (DSE) is something every reviewer has complained about and is clearly noticeable unless the picture is very bright. Terrible for a TV at that price, simply unacceptable.
I appreciate their tests, but don’t agree on the result.
Can’t HEAR YOU!!!! ….waste of time
Just got hisense u8g 65in. Was on sale at best buy for 999
Help!!! Really don’t know which TV to get. Definitely 75 inch but only interested in 4k movies and TV shows. Which do you recommend????
Sony Aj80 in my opinion is better than the LG C1 is very good TV for the value.
I have a LG OLED for my living room that’s about 1-2 years old but wanted a quick check in for the latest in top TVs for now, early 2022, so I can toss one in my bedroom. I don’t do any gaming in bed … PC mater race 🙂 … so the Hisense U6G will do the trick. Thanks for the quick overview, don’t need to get into the weeds for a bedroom TV.
When all signals are 4 k u don’t need a flag ship tv,the only thing is picture motion may come issue!
It’s okay Hisense 58" H78 series 4K ULTRA HD Android ? And Vs Hisense 55" A69G or 65" A68 G if you have any one to buy ?
What game is the guy playing at 1:05
Do yourself a huge favor, buy any other TV rather than a TCL TV. Sure they are cheaper, their picture is reasonable as are their APPs. However a major issue in the new models is Black screen which would appear to be either a design flaw or a software issue! TCL know about this however have not fixed it and trying to get this issue fixed is almost impossible with their extremely poor customer service. Really, do not buy a TCL TV under any circumstances!
