They probably would be easier to see with a loupe. So seeing the background starting to glow before seeing all the flashing bars above 64 flashing doesn't surprise me that much. The light from the brighter blocks is enough to bias my eyes from seeing them. Values of 70 and below on the DNR low pattern can be very difficult to see. From Tyler's explanation in the Murideo Calman 2020 video it should, but then another post here stated that it doesn't. I've been wondering if the shadow detail adjustment actually changes reference black (16 in 8-bit, 64 in 10-bit). I'll probably take another crack when Portrait's new tutorial videos and brightness patterns are live soon.Ĭlick to expand.Thanks for sharing this. Gave it a test run on Pixar's SOUL, which was lovely and has a few zero-black, high-contrast sequences in the beginning.
Streaming DV is looking about as good as I can imagine since the new firmware. Not exactly sure how many bars I should be able to perceive without a jeweller's loupe or whatever, but they are quite small on this particular pattern.Įither way, happy with the result. On detail value 72, the last bar I could see clearly flashing was probably 71. Weirdly, it seemed like the background of the pattern video would start to glow (represented as just-above-black "dithery" noise in the top left corner of screen) before all the flashing bars above 64 would flash.
Using the recommended shadow detail point of 14, the detail value I landed on was 72. Lastly, the QM8 isn’t equipped with an ATSC 3.0 tuner, so it limits over-the-air broadcasts to a maximum resolution of 1080p.I re-auto-calibrated Dolby Vision on my CX last night to take advantage of the Spears & Munsil 10-bit brightness pattern video (that I can now use via USB with firmware 03.21.09). In addition, like many LCD TVs, the QM8 loses some image fidelity when you sit off-center, but that’s less of an issue with this model than with some competitors. If you’re looking for a 55-inch option, check out our runner-up pick. Low input lag and a native 120 Hz refresh rate make the QM8 a solid choice for gamers, too, and it offers built-in Google TV, our favorite smart-TV platform.Īs for drawbacks, the QM8 is available only in large screen sizes, namely 65, 75, 85, and 98 inches. It shines in the brightest of rooms, yet it also achieves great contrast and satisfyingly dark shadow tones for movie night. The QM8 is brighter than anything else we’ve tested around this price, and it’s capable of producing the rich, saturated color that makes HDR movies and video games look terrific. (You can learn more about those tech terms and others in our TV buying guide.) This 4K TV employs a mini-LED backlight for improved contrast, quantum dots for more vibrant color, and a 120 Hz refresh rate for cleaner, smoother motion. The TCL QM8 Series is the company’s premium 2023 TV line, and it shows in both performance and features.
