TCL 75" X915 8K UHD Android QLED TV $1995 @ The Good Guys

1650

Another 75" TCL TV deal. Again, seems like a crazy big discount - last time posted on Ozbargain was back in January for ~$1500 more.

Edit: looks like it has HDMI 2.1 as well, though "Clear Motion Rate" of 200, which might be a little problematic - help me out TV gurus! Detailed specification pdf here:

I'm actually looking for a 75" TV - this or the other deal I posted?

    Wow 8k..

    • +42

      half of AU free2air tv is still 570p…

      • +28

        What's free2air?

        • +17

          Conversion of free to air.

        • who the hell watches free2air tv anyway.. netflix prime disney has so much shows that i dont even have time to watch them ones too

          • @striker5950: There's shows on free to air that they don't have

        • +1

          as a plex user, I agree

      • What about the other half?

      • The HD channels are still only FullHD

        • +6

          Arguably they're not even full HD, just 720p or 1080i. Willing to be educated on any actual content worth watching in 1080p (presumably some live sport?).

      • +1

        Are we behind other developed countries?

        • +4

          I think so many have moved to steaming services it doesn’t matter what the situation is.
          Who cares what the latest reality TV or up themselves talking head looks like? hardly anyone is watching anymore.

          • +1

            @entropysbane: shhhh, the viewing statistics (which are inherently biased towards families that are actually watching free2air as it's an opt in system) and multiplying it by the population doesn't cover eyeballs not actually watching it at all ;), but the advertisers don't know that ;)

        • We are, stuck on ancient codecs for the most part which means lower res and lower quality.

          Part of the problem is the number of channels these days, when digital TV first came out the quality was astounding. (better than it is now, although it was also probably the first time you got to see HD content.)

    • +2

      Excellent monitor, just sit 4' from it.

  • Interesting…
    Doubt I would utilise the 8k in the next few years. How would this compare to the Sony X9000 range? There's not many reviews of it.

    • +7

      Big PC Desktop 👌

      • Needs display port for that

        • +6

          It has HDMI 2.1, no display port required.

    • +1

      Doubt I would utilise the 8k in the next few years.

      You can keep using it to watch 8k youtube

      • +9

        Haha. I don't even think I've watched anything in 4k in the last 7 years I've had a 4k tv

        • +4

          No Netflix?

        • +1

          You probably wouldn't remember if you did

        • That's why my 2015 75" HD is still awesome!

  • Backlight Unit D-QLED

    I wonder what is D-QLED??

    • +4

      Prob direct LED backlit through quantum dot

  • Bit of an ugly stand on this thing

    • +12

      I think that's actually the additional sound bar! It comes with a separate Onkyo setup.

  • https://www.thegoodguys.com.au/tcl-100-inches-p715-4k-quhd-a…

    100" is roughly double the weight of the 75" 94KG without stand !!

  • Only 60hz native refresh for anyone wondering

    • +5

      Sony 4K KD75X8000H,only native 50 Hz, $2,095

      • Supports 4K60. I have the 65".

        • What's the 65" like? I don't really care about the smart tv features - I have a NVIDIA Shield that I'll be using. Would you buy it again? Pro/Con features?

          • @goldiep: I got it as a free warranty replacement from a previous model that died and really happy with it. PS5 quality is great, snappy UI, hasn’t missed a beat. HDMI-CEC enabled for both PS5 and AV Receiver. Netflix and Prime are main 2 smart apps I use and no issues at all.

            Definitely doesn’t compare to an OLED in terms of dark blacks and colours etc but struggling to justify the cost for one when this looks and works so well.

            Only real con is the awkward blade style stand so make sure it fits your furniture.

            I would absolutely buy one (or the even better x9000 model) again.

    • I don’t think anyone has done a 8k 120hz tv before. Don’t think hdmi 2.1 is even capable lol

      • +1

        Supposed to have enough bandwidth to carry 10K 120hz

        • I looked into that. It seems to need display stream compression to do it in 10K and not natively. Kinda like how HDMI 1.4 supports 4K but no one would really say or use that.

    • +2

      It says 50hz in the specs…

  • The viewing angles on this unit seems significantly narrower compared to the X10 - 178°/178° on the X10 vs 80°/70° on the X915.
    If true, would not be ideal for off-axis viewing.

    • Is that because the X10 is a mini led, improves the viewing angle

    • +8

      Might not matter when it takes up the whole wall of my tiny lounge room

    • -1

      Viewing angle would be similarly narrow because they’re both VA panels

      • Not according to TCL. Some TVs employ an additional layer to improve viewing angles. Might be the case for the X10.

        • It’s not the case. They have similar viewing angles

  • Been on the lookout for something like this. Thanks for posting it.

    Can anyone advise why I would consider the other deal OP posted: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/629507#comment-10578131 as opposed to this one? This one seems better (8k vs 4k, HDMI 2.1 vs no HDMI 2.1, bonus soundbar).

    Am hoping to upgrade from a 12 year old plasma finally.

    • Haha same here! Advice would be great! I'm not really a gamer but HDMI 2.1 is welcomed.

      • +4

        No real point having HDMI 2.1 on this since it caps at 60 Hz not 120. There's no real compatible native 8K content yet, even PS5 doesn't have it enabled yet.

        If you have an RTX3080 or 3090 hooked up to play 8K res games then maybe, else, utterly pointless.

        Mini LED should have much better quality visuals than this but you don't get 8K-ready. It's a trade-off.

        • +2

          Not a 3080… Only really a 3090 and even that's pointless

        • Thanks for this. It'll mainly be used for Netflix, YouTube, FTA streams and downloaded movies watched via a Google TV. Kids don't use the Xbox much anymore and I will not hook my PC up to it. We already have a sound bar but I guess a new one would be nice.

          Based on this would you lean towards the TCL 75X10 75" 4K Ultra HD Mini LED QLED Android TV over this one because of the better visuals and lack of 8k content?

          Really appreciate your help.

          • +7

            @Kendrite13: I wouldn’t personally go for a TCL, too many complaints about low quality, laggy menus and poor support. You get what you pay for, it’s only 2 grand.

            However, if had to choose between them, definitely the 4K Mini LED with your use case, with expectation of using it for 5 years then upgrading to 8K unit at that point if it becomes ubiquitous.

            • @Hybroid: Thanks for taking the time to reply. Big help.

              • @Kendrite13: No worries, everyone's different though. Maybe see if a Good Guys or Harvey Norman store has both on display and check them out for yourself.

            • +2

              @Hybroid:

              I wouldn’t personally go for a TCL, too many complaints

              Really? Because from what I've seen they get pretty good reviews - in their market segment.
              I got a 65" TCL for $630 and it's the best $630 TV I've ever seen. Is it as good as an LG OLED? Of course not. But nor do I expect it be because it's $3000 cheaper.

        • I’m considering this as a software developer. My new dex XPs 13” does 8k but only over dp so I’d have to rdp into it from my 3080 desktop which I’d rather not

    • +3

      Not sure this would be an upgrade from your plasma. I'm in the same boat - currently have a 58" Viera that just keeps on going and the only thing I think I can really call an upgrade would be OLED. ;)

      • +2

        I went from a 50inch Viera to a Hisense 65 uled, only regret was not doing it earlier.

        • -1

          I think (hope) they were joking.

      • -1

        plasma is way overrated imho …. cannot even compare it against modern lcd and oleds, even the cheap lcd's…. they were good 15 years ago.

        • +2

          You have obviously never, ever seen or owned a Plasma TV before. No LCD TV comes close to plasma even close in terms of black reproduction and colour reproduction, even the top of the range Sony's.

          Panasonic (Kuro tech) 55" plasma owner here.

          • @vrsac: Actually I still have my plasma … a Panasonic st60

            • @hippyhippy: Same. Still got our old PX5070A..
              Chews power like a mofo though. (rofl)
              Blacks still look pretty damn good on it for a 720p panel. And with our shit quality FTA coverage, it looks better on that then my 4K Hisense.

      • Went from my Pioneer plasma to a 65" Panasonic OLED and I would never want to power up the plasma again.
        The uplift in picture quality was genuinely staggering.

        • Yes, OLED is the only technology worth considering if you're a current plasma owner like me 😏

          • @vrsac: Depends on room. Went from Plasma to QLED, very happy. OLED would not work in the current room.

      • How are the greys going?

    • +7

      Friend has the 65inch version of this TV. While 8K content is so so nice and crisp but there is not many of these videos around. The UI and some apps are very laggy (I assume due to 8K resolution and weak CPU). Soundbar is decent.
      When watching 8K content the bottom of the TV gets very warm. 4K content looks not better or worse than my 4K TV.
      I don't know X10 but in theory mini LED should be a better tech, as you get many dimming zones you get much brighter (panel is less dense due to only 4K pixels rather than 8K) and better viewing angle. If I was to buy I'd prefer Mini led over 8k. given it actually delivers on those promises.

      • +1

        Thank you - this was the type of information I was looking for.

        • +1

          No worries, and thanks to you now I suddenly have $2k in my bank account that wants to part way with me 😜
          Need to convince the boss lady!

          • +2

            @OpayuOnam: Sh!t - are you me? That's why I'm researching this a bit. Need to make a case for the $ spend.

            • +2

              @Kendrite13: 😅
              Good luck in your endeavours. I first need to justify it to myself before I can bring the case in front of the minister of finance hahaha

    • +5

      Personally, I'll go for mini LED as that's more useful than 8k.

  • +1

    This or UST 4k laser projector for movies?

    • +1

      Both

      • +2

        At the same time.

        Project onto the TV to make it 3D

    • +1

      Most of the UST lasers have awful black levels, I've trialled 3 different models now, the Epson was the best in that regard, but still nowhere as good as my Epson 9400 traditional projector.

      If you have a room that you can 100% darken, then get a 9400 :)

    • Unless you spend $23k for a Sony 4k SXRD laser projector forget about that idea.

      This is the only one that can compare to OLED TV in terms of Picture quality.

  • +2

    For this money, buy the 55" LG OLED. Forget about big screens.

    • +3

      Said no one ever

      • +1

        Said no one ever

        Seems to be an even split. I would go for 65 OLED versus 75 QLED any day. 55" however is on the really small side for my purposes

    • +6

      OLED everyday,

      • OLED everday everynight

    • +1

      75 vs 55 … i got a few oleds, so i think i'd go the 75 imho. size matters… wouldnt bother with 8k though

      • +5

        Size does not matter if it’s a shit tv

        • -4

          We returned the LG CX 65 inch last year and went back to our old 60 inch Sammy purely because we found 65 inch too small for the money paid. Couldn't afford the 77 inch. Ever since we realised that even though the OLED produced incredible picture, it's the size that really makes for that real upgrade feel.

          • @polstralian: Move the couch closer :)

            • +2

              @Scrobo: Trust me, we did lol. We really did. We really wanted to keep that TV. Nah… Didn't happen. In fact I only just pushed that sofa back a few weeks ago after my in-law questioned its 'silly distance' from the TV and no space for the legs lol

          • @polstralian: Gosh a 65 OLED feels big in most rooms. I think a lot of people have them in the wrong spots where you can't appreciate it well.

            But some people just want a cinema feel to tv watching where I guess 75+ will only do. But a $2k 75 incher is always going to be lacking.

    • +5

      Once you go 75 you never never 55.

  • +2

    This is excellent value for an 8K QLED 75"

    But we don't need 8K yet :)

    • +1

      Yeah, very rare to have 8K contents. Too early to move into 8K TV.

      • +1

        Exactly. Most 8K content which is readily accessible are just demos to show off your shiny new 8K TV hahaha

        • Assuming there is 8k content, how close do we need to sit to appreciate this?

          Will it be too close for 75"?

  • Proof that 8k is marketing BS on panels of this size.. It always pulls in enough people at the start though to make the hype worthwhile.
