The Sony X93L is typically much more expensive than the TCL Q7. If budget is a concern, the TCL Q7 could be a more cost-effective choice. However, if you're looking for better performance in areas such as streaming quality and a bright room viewing experience, the Sony X93L may be worth the additional investment. Keep in mind, the Sony X93L won't provide as much value for its higher price if used primarily in darker settings. Consider the types of content you frequently watch and the conditions of the room where the TV will be placed when making your decision. Give Feedback

The Sony X93L (LCD) is very good for sports, while the TCL Q7 (LCD) is only fair.
The Sony X93L outperforms the TCL Q7 in motion processing, crucial for delivering smooth action during sports, and is better at handling reflections, helping maintain clear visibility in bright environments. On the other hand, the TCL Q7 struggles with motion processing which can result in less fluid movement, and its lower reflections handling can lead to more distractions from glare and light reflections during sports viewing.

The Sony X93L (LCD) is very good for cartoons & animation, while the TCL Q7 (LCD) is good.
When watching cartoons and animation, the Sony X93L stands out with colors that are better out of the box, meaning they look vibrant and accurate without additional adjustments, while the TCL Q7 is just good in this regard, which means it might need some tweaking for the best performance. Both TVs have a good color gamut, ensuring a wide range of colors necessary for animated content, but the Sony has a slight edge in color volume as well, allowing it to display a broader array of colors at different luminance levels.

The Sony X93L (LCD) is very good for news, talk, & other TV, while the TCL Q7 (LCD) is only fair.
The Sony X93L provides an excellent experience for watching news and other TV programs, with superior upscaling quality ensuring that even lower resolution content appears crisp, and its ability to maintain good SDR brightness improves visibility in various lighting conditions. In contrast, the TCL Q7 offers a fair performance in the same areas; its upscaling quality is not as refined, which might result in less detailed images, and while still offering very good SDR brightness, other factors such as color accuracy out of the box do not meet the same standard set by the Sony.

The Sony X93L (LCD) is excellent for bright room, while the TCL Q7 (LCD) is good.
The Sony X93L outperforms the TCL Q7 in a bright room due to its higher SDR and HDR brightness and better handling of reflections, making it excellent for bright environments. On the other hand, while the TCL Q7 is also good in bright rooms with its very good SDR brightness, it falls short compared to the Sony in managing reflections and HDR brightness, which are most critical for daytime viewing.

The Sony X93L provides good contrast, exceptional local dimming, and solid black uniformity, which are crucial for deep, inky blacks and effective shadow detail in movies and cinematic TV, albeit its color accuracy out of the box and color volume are only decent.

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.
