The TCL Q7 is a solid midrange choice that offers good overall picture quality and excels in gaming, making it suitable for gamers looking for a large 65-inch screen without breaking the bank. It performs well in both dark and bright rooms, though not as impressively as the Sony in bright environments. However, its viewing angles are limited, so it's best for situations where viewers are directly in front of the TV. The sound quality is fair, and while it doesn't have the best speakers, it's acceptable for casual viewing. On the other hand, the Sony X95L is a high-end option with an 85-inch screen, delivering excellent bright room performance and superior picture quality, which is great for watching movies and sports. It has a wider color gamut and better HDR performance, ensuring vibrant colors and bright highlights. The Sony also has better speakers, making it a strong contender if you're looking for a TV with great audio right out of the box. It's more expensive, but the investment gets you advanced features like miniLED backlighting for improved contrast and a more premium viewing experience. Consider the TCL Q7 if you're looking for a value-oriented TV with good gaming performance and are okay with average sound. Opt for the Sony X95L if you prioritize the best picture quality, especially in a bright room, and don't mind paying a premium for better audio and advanced features. Give Feedback

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.
