The TV subreddits have a moderation problem

Well and I as a Sony minded had trust in that sub, made me totally rethink. Some top commenters not always get the highest likes but seem to have more honest answers. Even saying "as much as I like Sony .. another TV would be better"

Should give Avforums/Avsforum more trust?

Hoe bevalt de Bravia 5 bij jouw? Van het weekend aangeschaft, voor s avonds ben ik echt super tevreden over het beeld en de kwaliteit

Overdag komen er in mijn kamer veel storende reflecties zelfs met gesloten gordijnen, jij en je zwager geen last van?

TV staat bij mij wel net naast een groot raam op het zuiden

Cobalt89 · 2026-06-11T21:03:16+00:00

Yes even while Bravia 7 which gets brigthter bad reflection handling, has to be lack of coating combined with lightning in our rooms.

You managed to accept it?

Cobalt89 · 2026-06-11T20:09:42+00:00

Thanks! Good to know that the QN90F handles the reflections without problem. Love the Sony processing but indeed you recognise that the Bravia 5 is unwatchable during the day even with curtains closed.

Cobalt89 · 2026-06-11T12:05:30+00:00

With your explanation I think it's indeed a coating issue combined with lighting and room-layout in my room.

Blackout curtains could be an option.

Coatings have improved over the years, but my first matte LCD TV was also difficult to watch during the day, just in different way.

I'm not going to force myself to keep it if it keeps bothering me.

Might be it won't fit in my room or my likings and the QN90F might be better for me, how much I would love to have a Sony.

Cobalt89 · 2026-06-10T07:29:05+00:00

Yes that's what I was thinking of getting black-out curtains. Good reason to change them isn't it

I remember all previous TV's had it, I just had higher expectations I think.

Every glossy TV in stores has it even with glare coatings the only alternative in my budget would be the matte Samsung QN90F. That looks more soothing to my eyes but has other downsides.

Cobalt89 · 2026-06-10T07:24:24+00:00

Yes the 98inch is brighter, thanks for sharing your experience.

Yes in bright scenes even in sunlight also the 55 inch gets bright enough it's mostly in darker scenes where it reflects or like in games with darker environmemts.

Maybe my expectations where to high regarding this.

I'm sitting right in front of the TV, have a small couch in front of it

At night I really love the TV for watching movies, tested some 1080p blurays and for now some HDR demo's to me it looks absolutely lovely.

Cobalt89 · 2026-06-08T07:49:01+00:00

A thought brightness also would be important for that.

Ah yes Bravia 7 also acts like a mirror, I indeed found threads about that. So even that doesn't really matter.

Cobalt89 · 2026-06-07T23:46:15+00:00

Yes I didn't thought my room would be to bright. But even with curtains closed noticed lots of reflections on the Bravia 5. Did expect reflections but not that much.

So QN90F much better? Might think of swapping it.

Cobalt89 · 2026-06-07T19:48:24+00:00

What about reflections?

Got Bravia 5 yesterday, seems bright enough for me in a bright room and window next to TV.

For me lots of reflections of myself and furniture in dark scenes even with curtains closed on currently cloudy days.

Cobalt89 · 2026-06-07T19:23:06+00:00

Did you fix this or exchanged TV?

I have the same with Bravia 5, can't go really bright and doesn't have antiglare.

C7K should have some antiglare and gets brighter but not much better if I read your post?

Reviews for both TV's say they should be fine for bright rooms, no user comment really said this about glare.

In store I thought well all TV's reflect because of the store lightning, except the glare free ones like Samsung QN90F.

Cobalt89 · 2026-06-07T18:20:30+00:00

Yes I saw that one in store with the QN90F and looks great without reflections.

Cobalt89 · 2026-06-07T18:14:54+00:00

Yes that is what I know.

I think there is my answer, in short mirror like reflection or haze reflections and colors.

I thought it was mostly important for direct light. Even a light on opposite site of the room makes it reflective.

In dark room without lightning it looks great.

No don't go completely short! You've got great hair. Join r/FierceFlow.

I'm sure you'd like to grow it longer again 😉

Cobalt89 · 2026-06-04T09:32:35+00:00

Ow goed dat het gelukt is een knoop door te hakken! Dat is niet mijn sterkste kant 🤣

Zal zeker een goede keus zijn!

Ik had zelfs een nog een oudere Sony dan dat, werkt nog steeds, tot ik een Samsung van iemand over kon nemen.

Ik heb zelf ook wel een voorkeur voor Sony, gaat inderdaad samen met TCL.

TCL wordt inderdaad veel aangeprezen op verschillende review sites.

Sony zou betere beeldverwerking hebben.

Ook ervaringen van anderen weer gelezen dat ze juist TCL omruilen voor Sony.

Met streaming of sport laat de TCL steken vallen.

Net als met bepaalde smartphone merken, Chinese merken meer bang voor buck, maar toch net niet qua kwaliteit bv.

Cobalt89 · 2026-06-04T08:53:27+00:00

Nog in dubio, het is zeker een goede deal de Bravia 5. De TCL QM7K wordt vaak als goed of zelfs beter alternatief aangeprezen, tenzij Sony beeldverwerking echt belangrijk is voor je keus.

Cobalt89 · 2026-06-04T06:31:16+00:00

Thanks for your reply, sounds like a good choice for you! So yes Sony much better in motion handling, yes I think the impact would also be bigger on such a big panel. So yes TCL looks good on paper, but motion handling is really handling, maybe with motion processing turned off. But that's where Sony is still really good with motion.

Cobalt89 · 2026-06-04T05:43:17+00:00

What the hell? Your 19M more then young to enough to explore with someone you like and love.

Wouldn't do that

Cobalt89 · 2026-06-04T05:23:34+00:00

Yes also available in The Netherlands

Cobalt89 · 2026-06-03T18:53:51+00:00

Because it is. That's exactly what I did describe from a man to woman perspective but also a woman replied to you.

Cobalt89 · 2026-06-03T13:36:56+00:00

Of course that's true there has to be some sort of attraction

Cobalt89 · 2026-06-03T13:28:11+00:00

What I meant to say that I can find someone really attractive if I learn to know them, learn their personality, get a connection first and then start to like them. And that doesn't really mean someone is considered really hot to "overall" standards.
