The Sony X77L offers an overall picture quality and gaming experience that is good, but it is usually significantly more expensive than the TCL Q6. The TCL Q6, while generally less expensive, provides a better overall picture quality and better performance in bright rooms. However, it does not perform as well in dark environments when compared to other TVs. If cost is a major consideration and you watch TV mostly in bright rooms, the TCL Q6 might be a better choice for you. On the other hand, if you're looking for a better experience with sports content and can justify a higher price, the Sony X77L could be the way to go. Both TVs have a 65-inch LCD screen, but the TCL Q6 has better contrast and black uniformity, making it suitable for varied content viewing but with a narrower viewing angle. For watching movies or playing games in a darker setting, neither of these TVs may deliver the best experience, but both support HDR and have multiple HDMI ports. Sound quality is similar for both, but keep in mind that you might want to purchase external speakers for a more immersive audio experience. Give Feedback

Milton Clark | September 2023
"For an entry-level model, Sony’s X77L is a decent 4K TV. It’s color reproduction, along with crisp and clean picture images revealed plenty of detail and clarity thanks in part to Sony’s excellent video processing."

About Sony

Sony stands as a highly experienced and widely trusted TV manufacturer, earning a reputation that surpasses all others. A Japanese company, Sony has been making TVs for far longs than it has been making Playstation game consoles. Sony's high-end TVs are often regarded as the ultimate choice for videophiles, representing the epitome of quality, albeit at a premium price point. Renowned for their advanced and precise motion handling, as well as their cutting-edge local dimming algorithms, Sony consistently delivers unparalleled performance in these areas. They include Google TV software with all their TV sets, which grants access to the largest selection of apps available and they also include Bravia Core which is a movie streaming platform specifically for Sony TVs that offers higher picture quality by using more bandwidth.

About TCL

TCL, the highly recognizable TV brand from China, has firmly established itself as the second-largest manufacturer in terms of sales volume. Renowned for striking an impressive balance between affordability, picture quality, and design, TCL TVs deliver a compelling overall package. While they have traditionally excelled in the low-end and midrange TV segments, TCL has recently made remarkable strides in the realm of high-end televisions, introducing impressive models that rival top competitors. Most TCL TVs use Roku software which is very user friendly and easy to use, but they have a few other models that use Google TV which has the largest app selection, but is not as user friendly as Roku.
