ok after reading 80% of the discussion here, I am still skeptical. C716 65" is RM4199 like everyone mentioned, I heard many online reviewers say that HDR, HDR10+ and Dolby Vision have little to no effect at such low peak brightness and you have to nit pick to actually see the differences between HDR and DV content so i'm going to disregard those "features". That being said, would all of you still go for C716 or a Sony/LG/Samsung?(Mainly for the brand name reliability)
More specifically,
LG 70" UN7300 at RM3999 (300-350 nits+- brightness, IPS panel with Magic Remote)
Sony 65" X8000H at RM3800 (400-530 nits+- brightness, IPS panel with overall better picture quality than LG)
Samsung 65" TU8000/TU8500 at RM 3800(300 nits+- brightness, VA panel so better contrast ratio than both above)
Based on Rtings.com all 3 brand models above lose to the TCL series 5 but we can't definitively say C715/6 has the same picture quality as series 5.
So with HDR/10+ and Dolby Vision being disregarded (at least to me) would you guys still go for the TCL C715/6?
I bought my TV because of the price of QLED TV. At the time I bought C716 50in, RM2199. The cheapest QLED TV at the time. Furthermore, it's an Android TV.
I don't like Tizen and LG software as it restricted app installation.
So, if I have the money: I choose Sony 65" X8000H at RM3800 from your list because of the Android TV and brand. LG and Samsung I am not interested because of their software.
