I was going to post this as a comment on one of the other threads discussing new TCL and Samsung Frame TVs.
But thought it deserved a new post to highlight the factors separating these two TVs.
Hisense is about to launch U7QF (renamed H8G) in India. (https://www.hisense-india.com/television/100-hisense-laser-tv/)
It's a mid-tier FALD TV, which is what drew me towards it. We haven't seen any of the lesser brands try this in India yet.
I had high hopes from TCL, but they seem to be targeting a demographic which does not check out TVs releasing outside of India.
Samsung Frame 2020 has also released their India prices this week. (https://www.samsung.com/in/tvs/the-frame-ls03t/QA65LS03TAKXXL/)
H8G review: https://www.rtings.com/tv/reviews/hisense/h8g
Overall - 7.8, Contrast - 8.6, Colour gamut - 7.9
Frame review: https://www.rtings.com/tv/reviews/samsung/the-frame-2020
Overall - 7.6, Contrast- 9.4, Colour gamut -8.1
Frame has lower overall score because it does not have Local Dimming that FALD TVs have. Otherwise, it beats H8G in most metrics.
While Frame doesn't have Local Dimming, it has 120Hz screen and VRR.
Both TVs have low input lag not dissimilar to each other. But VRR 120Hz makes Frame a better gaming screen.
On the other hand, H8G has Dolby Vision HDR which Samsung Frame lacks, as all Samsungs tend to do.
Is that too big a deal? I am not too sure on that.
I intend to get the PS5 on launch day, but movies, Netflix are also a priority. Not too big on sports or cable TV.
I don't want to go the OLED way just yet.
Maybe when Sony finally figures out their shit and releases a PS5 compatible HDMI 2.1 OLED which doesn't break the bank.
Right now, I am looking for something around 1 lakh mark, lesser the better.
On paper, Frame seems like a no brainer. But 65 inch costs 1.4 lakh, which imo is too high. Waiting for H8G pricing reveal.
What do you guys think? Any idea if any similar models will release before Diwali/ before PS5?
