TCL Q7 QLED TV Review _ Full of Surprises

Bucks for a proper calibration folks that's almost the price of the 65-inch TV itself never mind that it would raise your total investment to about the same price as the 65-inch QM8 so if accuracy is what you're after don't expect to get close with the less expensive Q7 just buy a TCL qma and for me that's frustrating because it shouldnt be this way and to be clear I went out and checked some other reviews to see if theyre out of box measurements were close to mine and on the grayscale at least the measurements I got are in lockstep with other publications now I think thats just how this TV is and I dont get why I'm thinking back to some of TCL's 5 Series TVs and they had better grayscale and color accuracy measurements than this TV it's just so close to being a video files budget darling but not as it is now.

Now all of that information was primarily for enthusiasts I don't think the average viewer is going to be bothered too much by the inaccurate grayscale and scatter shot color accuracy although some of you might notice the white doesn't look pure white there's a magenta Hue happening that some average viewers might catch. I also happen to get a TCL Q7 with really good screen uniformity just the tiniest bit of vignetting in the upper left and right corners anti-glare is just okay but the TV gets bright enough that I don't think most folks will be too bothered with reflections.

But there are a couple of things I think average consumers might catch one this TV doesn't do a spectacular job at upscaling low resolution content it's not it's not terrible but it's not doing as good a cleanup job to cable TV and low-res streaming TV content as some slightly more expensive TVs. Two 24 frame per second content like movies shows a fair amount of stutter if you don't ever watch 24 FPS movies or if you like to use motion smoothing then that's nothing to worry about it's motion resolution at 60 frames per second is like perfect but if you watch a lot of movies in their native frame rate of 24 frames per second you'll see some stutter.

There's no judder issues the TV offers judder-free performance but stutter where it holds on to one of those 24 frames just a bit longer than it should you'll see that again if you're not super sensitive to that sort of thing then I think you'll love the Q7 but if you are you might want to pass on this one so at risk of repeating myself for all you non-video files or non-video enthusiasts the Q7 delivers a lot of wow factor in fact if you get it and start watching it you might think man that Caleb guy sure was going on about nothing this TV looks great I mean I wouldn't be at all surprised if thats how you felt.

But the hardest thing about me doing TV reviews is that I know I have a fairly significant crowd of enthusiasts watching and for y'all you just need to know accuracy is not this TV's bag oh and also the backlight is a little sluggish that might bother you too so it's a mixed bag depending on who you are I've made this evaluation as fair as possible I think most folks will love this TV but for those of you with a keen eye stick to the TCL QM8 it's worth saving a little bit longer thanks as always for watching everyone what did you think of this review it's a bit different for me also golden sample nope let me hear from you down in the comments I can't wait to chat with you also don't forget to like and subscribe I'll see you on the next one and until then here's two other videos I think you might like
