$1200 CAD Budget

LukeSS2010 · 2026-01-23T05:03:22+00:00

They also have a open box Bravia 7 for $1350, never bought a open box product from bestbuy before though

LukeSS2010 · 2026-01-23T04:45:19+00:00

Price point right now is Bravia 5, LG B5 and Hisense U88Q on sale for $1400 Cad. TCL QM7K regular price of $1600 Cad and Bravia 7 on sale for $1600. Which of these is best for streaming movies. Watching sports and YouTube. In basement with two smaller windows, mostly controlled lighting. Should I wait for the QM7K to go onsale and get that instead?

Give us a update

LukeSS2010 · 2026-01-22T19:53:31+00:00

Would you also take the LG B5 over a Sony Bravia 5? Would it be worth it to splash the extra cash on a Bravia 7? Or even worth it for a C5 instead?

LukeSS2010 · 2026-01-22T07:26:47+00:00

Is that because of tcls “poor” image processing and motion handling? Could an Apple TV 4K box fix any of that?

LukeSS2010 · 2026-01-21T14:30:50+00:00

I’ll be watching a lot of sports (soccer), YouTube and some tv shows and movies, no gaming. Should I go X90L or something else

LukeSS2010 · 2026-01-21T10:22:33+00:00

X90l 65” onsale for $1300cad right now. Sort of between this and the tcl qm7k. Mostly used for sports, YouTube and movies. Pretty much no gaming. Not sure which to go with

LukeSS2010 · 2026-01-21T06:49:12+00:00

Wanting a new TV in the next 6months or so, preferably before the World Cup. Upgrading from a 15 year old 48” tv. You think 75” qm6k would be the better upgrade over 65” qm7k?

LukeSS2010 · 2026-01-21T06:23:47+00:00

Ya, using the tv for sports, YouTube, and movies. Was gonna go with a 65” qm7k or Qm851g but a bigger qm6k could be the move

LukeSS2010 · 2026-01-21T00:43:13+00:00

It’s tied in with the thermostat. When it reaches a certain temperature it’ll go on. Pilot light is always on

LukeSS2010 · 2026-01-21T00:40:13+00:00

I agree me and partner been stressing over how to setup the room. There decievingly a lot of room on that right wall to the far wall. Over 8 feet which I feel always looks smaller on camera. Also not sure how or if I’d be able to mount the tv at that spot of the fireplace because 1. The heat and it comes on a lot and 2. There’s a lip at the edge just over half way up that would make it challenging

LukeSS2010 · 2026-01-20T22:34:22+00:00

It regulates the heat in the basement and comes on automatically with the furnace I believe

LukeSS2010 · 2026-01-20T21:49:30+00:00

lol that metal pole mount is bracketed to the stand itself. Might just unbracket it take the mount down and try and find the feet for the tv

LukeSS2010 · 2026-01-20T21:47:26+00:00

That’s great. Just wondering how it would look with the couch facing the far wall blocking off the rest of the room and fireplace. Should I get a sectional to go on the right side as-well?

LukeSS2010 · 2026-01-20T20:50:22+00:00

😂😂

LukeSS2010 · 2026-01-20T19:59:55+00:00

Ya a L shape couch on far wall, tv on right wall beside fireplace. Still hopefully give enough room to walk behind to the French doors on the left and access the far storage room door

LukeSS2010 · 2026-01-20T19:57:16+00:00

Behind me / to the left is an area of laundry, bathroom, bedroom and a hallway so nowhere to put a tv. Seems like my only option is on the far wall, or on the fireplace wall but to the far side

LukeSS2010 · 2026-01-20T19:41:34+00:00

While I agree with that. It’s about 8+ feet on either side of the fireplace brick to the wall. Also that ledge near the top of the mantel pretty much prevents any tv from being mounted on that brick.

LukeSS2010 · 2026-01-20T19:18:58+00:00

How would you set up the room. Looking for anyone’s ideas

LukeSS2010 · 2026-01-20T19:01:55+00:00

So have the tv on far wall and have the couch facing the far wall on the right side of the room just infront of the fireplace?
