Up date me OP. I need a 55" too


Not a whole lot to update.
Making a call today to see what I will finally do. That being said, Best Buy has dropped the 900f another $100 to $1099 (from $1299, although I think it was $1499 at first) vs the Q8F at $1499 (from $1899 original).

I still think the Q8F may be the better all around tv by a slim margin, but is it $400 better? Guess that’s what I need to figure out...

65” Q6 or 55” Q8? Both will be around $1100-$1200.

I have a perksatwork discount so it’s $1299 for the 55” Q8FN and $1199 for the Q6FN.

Ah....

I’d rather have the better TV even if it is smaller. The Q8 is rated higher....

I did at first until I went to AVS and found out what features to turn on and off. Honestly, I thought that dark scenes looked like shite until I made the changes.

Learn me what you looked for please. Is it easy to do?

Start with these.

LINK

The AVS Thread is very long and involves calibration in addition to settings. If you use the first link I think you'll find that the banding in dark scenes disappears.

If you don't have surround sound, just wait until you do.

You're in the god damn jungle.

TCL 6 series. 55 inch 450 shipped. No tax.

Can't beat the quality. Charged on AMEX, so my warranty doubles from one to two years.
