It does has 4 HDMI ports , but only 2 of them supports full bandwidth (port 2 & 3 ) which is required for 4K HDR signals from game consoles or media players .
The poor black levels and black uniformity is a result of employing IPS Panel as their TV screen . You basically have to sacrifice the contrast ratio for wider viewing angles .
But keep in mind that IPS and VA screens don't look very different in a bright room . The ambient lights from our environment is great at masking the true black levels of the TV .
Which is also why it is very difficult to tell the Picture Quality of TV from the electronic shops , because they are mostly displayed in a bright room.
But in a dim / dark room , poor black levels will be instantly noticeable . If you are watching movies on VA , the letterbox bars from the movies are going to appear inky black without distracting you from the immersion. While the black on IPS TV will appear gray-ish and cloudy at times .
If your room is decently lit , go for the Sony . Otherwise just get the Samsung TV .
The NU8000 is the best choice at this price range for HDR gaming .
The Sony is the next best option if you watch a lot of low resolution content on the TV .
I am not very fond of LG 's mid-range TV , some of them are decent but it just doesn't offer the best bang for your buck.
Nope , the USA TCL division operates on a different team than the European / Chinese one .
The specific TCL models found on Lazada are essentially the European version . All of them are edge-lit TVs , unlike their superior F.A.L.D counterparts from the USA .
These specific models aren't nearly quite as capable as what was reviewed by rting.
Sadly , as of now the choices we have within the Malaysian market is very limited unless you decide to import them which comes with a big risk.
so TLC/Philips micro dimming or samsung uhd dimming is basically software controlled edge lighting. (tipu one la)
