If you prioritize exceptional picture quality, especially for movies or in dark rooms, and don't mind spending more, the Sony A95L (OLED) could be your choice. It offers better dark room performance, color quality, and wider viewing angles. The A95L also has excellent motion processing, low input lag, and high sound quality, making it well-suited for gaming and action-packed movies. On the other hand, if you are looking for a more affordable option, the TCL Q7 (LCD) is significantly less expensive and still provides good overall picture quality and brightness suitable for diverse content like news and cartoons. It's worth noting, however, that its bright room performance and viewing angle are somewhat limited compared to the A95L. Give Feedback

The Sony A95L (OLED) is best in class for sports, while the TCL Q7 (LCD) is only fair.
The Sony A95L provides a superb viewing experience for sports due to its excellent response time and motion processing, which keeps the action crisp, and its superior viewing angles and reflection handling that ensure a clear picture from various seating positions and in different lighting conditions. In contrast, the TCL Q7, while offering good performance for its price, falls short in these areas, especially in motion processing and viewing angles, leading to a less optimal experience for fast-paced sports content.

The Sony A95L (OLED) is best in class for cartoons & animation, while the TCL Q7 (LCD) is good.
The Sony A95L excels with impeccable colors straight out of the box and a color gamut that enhances the vibrancy of cartoons and animation, whereas the TCL Q7 delivers decent performance but with less optimal out-of-the-box colors and a narrower color gamut that may not be as vivacious. In less critical areas, the Sony A95L still performs better in terms of color volume and gray uniformity, while both TVs offer satisfying contrast and SDR brightness useful for general viewing.

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.
