If picture quality is a priority, especially in a darker room, the Sony A95K with its OLED technology will provide superior contrast and black levels, ideal for movies and HDR content. On the other hand, if you're looking for a more budget-friendly option and mainly watch in a well-lit room, the TCL Q7 could suffice, despite its lower overall picture quality. The TCL Q7 might also be the preferred choice for gaming due to certain features, but know that the gaming experience, in terms of picture quality, might not match the Sony's. Both TVs are suitable for watching sports, TV shows, and news, but the Sony A95K will deliver a more polished and vivid viewing experience at a higher price. Give Feedback

The Sony A95K (OLED) is best in class for movies & TV, while the TCL Q7 (LCD) is good.
The Sony A95K provides a best-in-class movie and cinematic TV watching experience with perfect black uniformity and excellent contrast due to its OLED technology, and strong performance in viewing angles and colors out of the box. The TCL Q7, while still delivering a good experience with a great contrast and very good black uniformity for an LCD TV, falls short in local dimming which is essential for darker scenes, and has less impressive viewing angles and colors out of the box, making it less ideal for more demanding cinematic viewing.

The Sony A95K (OLED) is best in class for sports, while the TCL Q7 (LCD) is only fair.
The Sony A95K is better suited for sports viewing due to its excellent motion processing and response time, which reduce motion blur making fast-paced action clearer. In contrast, the TCL Q7 has poorer motion processing and response times leading to potential blur during fast movements, and it also struggles more with reflections and has a narrower viewing angle, which means the picture quality drops off when viewed from the side.

The Sony A95K (OLED) is best in class for cartoons & animation, while the TCL Q7 (LCD) is good.
The Sony A95K stands out in cartoons and animation due to its excellent colors out of the box and color gamut, ensuring vibrant and accurate visuals right away.

Caleb Denison | March 2022
"A95K will be one of the highest-performing TVs of the year, if not the hottest TV of 2022. The color on the Sony A95K is the most accurate I have ever seen. Certain hues of red just haven’t been produced on a TV … until now. Perhaps with deeper scrutiny, I may one day find some nit to pick, but in the time I was able to spend with the A95K, I was simply thrilled."

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.
