      You're right about the TCL R646 not being available in every region
      But I found this model in Germany which seems to be identical with the model you showed
      TCL 55C825
      Do you think it has all the features r646 has to offer ? Mainly I want to know if the response times are similar.
      Thanks for the great video.

      Does the tcl R646 support VRR? It was kinda confusing in the video if both or only the C2 does. Also you are so right on these tvs can get used daily for 14hrs a day. Between the kids/wife/myself I wonder what the lifespan of the OLED actually are.

    i own both of these TV’s. the TCL R6 is 55” and the LG C2 is 42”. the TCL i use as a console TV as it’s bigger and i don’t need accurate colors for gaming. the LG i use on my desk as a computer monitor as the color accuracy is insanity and i do a lot of media work. i love both TV’s and both are a solid choice.

  • @jmaegm

    I bought the 42 C2 although costs too much I needed it because it's the smallest 4k OLED with the best interior like processor etc and mainly because it super light weight and super thin, the only TV I've waited for my semi truck sleeper area. I've had TCL over 6 years and they are solid good quality for small price BUT after watching an LG OLED there's no other tv Samsung Sony etc that I was satisfied with. Only the LG OLED for me is like magic.

    Dark room = OLED tv. Keep brightness down to help prevent burn in.
    Bright room = LED/LCD tv. The brighter display helps keeps the sun's glare down with no worries of burn in.

  • @sawdust8691
    @sawdust8691 2 ปีที่แล้ว +9

    There is no beating OLED picture quality currently. Though top tier LEDs are getting very close.
    OLEDs like the C2 are the supreme TV in almost all areas. Lowest input lag, fastest response time, best picture quality, and a large number of features and capabilities.
    But with how expensive OLEDs are, it's understandable to go for an alternative.
    However, if you wait until the time of year when TVs are at their lowest prices, like November and Black Friday, the OLEDs are more tempting.
    Best time to get a TV is in November.

      I got me a 55in C2.
      I wasn't quite satisfied with my previous TV. And I wanted a display that could do it all.
      OLED looks absolutely stunning. Especially in a dim room where the true black shines.
      Contrast is perfect. Color is vivid. Response time is amazing.
      And it gets plenty bright, bright enough to make me squint in a dim room when using HDR. And oh my, does HDR look AMAZING on it!
      And it is outstanding in a dark room. Zero hazy lifted black levels. It looks beautiful at all times.
      And it's capable of anything I could want. 4K 120hertz with VRR and Dolby Vision all at once. It truly is a king of kings when it comes to displays.
      I am completely and utterly satisfied. Now I won't be able to leave OLED.

      @partypat7229 ปีที่แล้ว

      Not sure what you mean by end game. The tv won’t last forever. Many will die after around 10 years of usage, some less. New panels come out too and get cheaper. I say no one should assume any tv they buy is an “end game” model, but instead buy for the greatest value / performance for the next 5-10 years of usage. If the tv is too expensive, you will be more reluctant to upgrade down the line as well.

  • @KryssN1

    Just quick information for viewers, corresponding version of MiniLED in EU is C835, no other MiniLED version C735 is FALD.
    But in EU it's only 2/3 of the price of C2 and only 20% cheaper than recently re-released C1 as CS series for 2022 with C2 chip.
    The price difference would be easily made up by Power Draw difference between OLED vs Mini-LED over 3-5 years.
    So the question is the usage case, if you get lot of light coming in the room and you would use the TV during day time, then MiniLED (be it C835, C935, Samsung or Sony).
    All other use case scenarios and the one above, if you can pull the curtains too, then C2 or CS series.

      So I actually just bought a log oled c2 and I was coming from a tlc 6 series from 2020. I wanted the oled for perfect contrast and no black crush which it’s great at, but I mainly wanted full4k/120hz for ps5/series x. My tlc still could only do 1440p/120hz but no hdr sadly on Xbox. Honestly as perfect as contrast is I still perfer tlc and the blacks are damn close, it didn’t bloom some on subtitles and had some black crush but for the 600/700 dollar difference I am thinking of returning for a 4K/120hz new 6 series. Heard theirs even less crush and blooming than the 2020 model I had. The hdr pop on tlc was of the chain. Oled still pops but the tlc like hurt my eyes at times. Neither is a bad choice, it’s kinda which you want more, brighter hdr pop, or perfect black levels no crush. Both have good contrast but oled obviously comes on top but not by much. Greatest time to be in hifi/home theatre/TVs/gaming. It’s crazy how good of audio set up I have now would of cost like 5 grand or more for all my speakers instead of about 2k for everything

    Why would you get the puny 55s? I gave that same TV stand and it fits the 65 inch models perfectly. Shit, I'm considering ditching my 65 tcl for a 77 oled due to the cash back and insane price ($1500 minus $250 cb right now through best buy and capital one shopping)

    Wait until the TV is on sale around 6 months after launch!!! Do not buy an OLED at full launch price!
    I got me a 55in C2 for $1300 recently. November is the best time to shop.
    I wasn't quite satisfied with my previous TV. And I wanted a display that could do it all.
    OLED looks absolutely stunning. Especially in a dim room where the true black shines.
    Contrast is perfect. Color is vivid. Response time is amazing.
    And it gets plenty bright, bright enough to make me squint in a dim room when using HDR. And oh my, does HDR look AMAZING on it!
    And it is outstanding in a dark room. Zero hazy lifted black levels. It looks beautiful at all times.
    And it's capable of anything I could want. 4K 120hertz with VRR and Dolby Vision all at once. It truly is a king of kings when it comes to displays.
    I am completely and utterly satisfied. Now I won't be able to leave OLED.

    • @MinimalisTech
      @MinimalisTech  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I feel you! Honestly I was worried about that too, for the most part my C2 OLED definitely gets bright enough. I can't help but prefer the way it looks over my suuuuper bright TCL R646 which is a mini-LED.
      I'd say give any OLED a go, most places like Best Buy have a long return period right now anyways with the holidays, so could be worth trying and returning if it doesn't turn out as expected.
      Thanks for watching!

    I bought the TCL model 2 weeks ago and had no rest since because this TV has had so many issues. The HDMI ports will not do anything above the HDMI MODE above 1.4 , when put on anything higher I get a erratic issues with nothing staying on Like my Nvidia Shield or Cable box they just go nuts . All connections have been verified by technicians here local after buy 3 brands of receivers Sony ,Yamaha, Onkyo which I thought in the beginning were the issue. After direct connection to these HDMI ports with individual independently connected to these ports same behavior is unreliable. TCL has become the worse support I have encountered in many years as they just pass the buck and run away from the issue. I am now replacing the TV !

    This really needs to be done on a case by case basis. For instance in my house we have a lot of natural light in the living room. This will negatively affect a less bright oled compared to the much brighter led. Further, if I'm not pitting these two against each other side by side I really wouldn't notice. Unless you're a real tv snob the tcl or a hisense would be more than enough tv.

    Everyone who keeps saying OLED burn is a non-issue is wrong. LG are one of the worst offenders and after 3-4 years their panels have been shown to suffer burn in and green tint regularly. Last TV I had was an E7 from 2017 - lasted 3 years before the panel was completely shot through normal gaming use. Never viewed static images or news channels for extended periods or any of the clichés. OLEDs just aren’t built for longevity, so if you’re a heavy user, stick with mini-led

I also did not want to pay extra money for an additional warranty since it was very expensive at best buy and it would have cost me well over $1000 CAD including the tv. I did have the option of getting the u7g but I didn't want to take a risk and buy it after everything I have read online about that tv,it's better brother the u8g and hisense tv's in general. I bought a 55 inch sony x85j I found on clearance for $799.99.

Was considering the Hisense U8H but after hearing the gaming issues, TCL was definitely the best option.
