When deciding between the Sony X95J and the TCL QM8, consider the following tradeoffs: If you prioritize gaming performance and overall picture quality, the TCL QM8 may be the better option, as it performs very well in these categories. It also comes at a relatively lower price point. However, for better sports viewing experiences and usage in bright rooms, the Sony X95J has advantages due to its higher sports content and bright room performance. This model typically comes at a premium price but includes great built-in speakers. So, your decision may come down to whether you're looking for better gaming and a more budget-friendly TV or if you're willing to spend more for improved sports watching and sound quality in sunny environments.

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.
