Need to consider the source that is being played also. Always best to bring your own 4K HDR 50/60hz files to test. Usually, they play the same unknown source in stores on many displays. Sometimes they use 1080p source since there are non-4K displays in the chain as well. If you notice, the LG Oled in places like Harvey Norman always plays a different source compared to the other non-OLED tvs.

I didn't test the other day coz I was not keen on buying yet but would be interested to know what panels they use and if its really better than the 630X. To my eyes they appeared better due to the brighter screen and better colours but can't really say anything about details & HDR. Sharp models are hard to research about due to the models are not global.

The Toshiba models I mentioned earlier are IPS panels but they did look very good. To my eyes, some IPS panels look better than lower end VA panels due to colour and brightness which bring out HDR very well. But black levels are bad so watching movies at night in the dark is not very immersive. For living room TV, IPS is usually a good choice if budget constrained.

Stay away from Toshiba

Toshiba sold to HiSense https://www.theverge.com/2017/11/14/1664937...-tv-deal-signed

Yes, unfortunately this is correct and the products have nothing to do with Toshiba any longer, they are just using the name to trick people into believing that they are getting Japanese quality when they are actually selling Chinese crap.
Unfortunately I feel into this trap - I bought the 55U9750VM - their high end TV assuming I will get a quality product. Unfortunately that's not the case.
This TV is an absolute piece of crap - the panel died after less than 6 week. Customer service sucks getting parts from KL takes 2 weeks, so the TV will be gone for 4 weeks. Yes, this is not toshiba but hisense so expect chinese quality and chinese customer service.
Stay away from these products as far as you can.
