📺 Replacing the world's largest TV in less than a year due to finding a new model that is smaller but has double the local dimming zones.
🔧 Installation process begins with unboxing the new TV, which is 5 inches smaller than the previous one. The new model is expected to offer better performance despite the size difference.
📦 New TV features include mounting feet, integrated handles, and a weight of 240 lbs. It has 4 HDMI ports and supports various HDR standards.
💡 The new TV boasts a peak brightness of 10,000 nits, significantly higher than the previous model's 5,000 nits. This allows for a spectacular amount of light and improved color volume.
🎶 Audio quality is decent but not exceptional, comparable to a basic soundbar. A good sound system is recommended for a display of this caliber.
🎥 Initial impressions show that the new TV has Dolby Vision and various HDR capabilities, providing vibrant colors and impressive detail.
📊 Testing results indicate a peak brightness of over 24,000 nits in SDR mode and 17,000 nits in HDR mode. However, color gamut coverage is under 83% for the BT2020 color space.
⚡ Latency in 144 Hz game mode is measured at 5.7 milliseconds, making it suitable for gaming, though not ideal for competitive play.
🤔 The decision between the new TV and the TCL model is challenging, as both have their strengths. The new model excels in picture quality, while the TCL offers a larger size.
