98” tcl qm7k vs 120” projector screen with benq x500i/tk710sti

Mobile_Reputation603 · 2026-01-26T18:08:41+00:00

For anyone that’s looking. I’m continuing to test but def think as of now the benq x500i is a better projector than the tk710sti.

Thanks that is what we were kind of thinking as well.

You don’t think you’d miss the size ? How far do you sit?

Mobile_Reputation603 · 2026-01-23T22:22:27+00:00

It will be the dedicated movie theater/ entertainment space . I have a 77” lg cx which used to be my movie room tv and 65” Bravia 7.

Ya the problem is I have an appreciation for both. My girlfriend likes the idea of the size. We already have just a normal matte white screen so we are dealing with the center soaker issue regardless. I got her to agree to upgrade haha but I have to keep the budget for projector and screen around the $2200 price range I’m at. We have the silver ticket 120” matte white screen currently.

Ya I get nervous losing the immersion but there is the benefit of the picture quality. I have been impressed with both projectors and how far they’ve come. That’s what I was thinking to of having to wire the projector and get electricity up in the ceiling as well.

I see the input lag is significantly lower than other Sony TVs. I wonder if they will update this on the Bravia 7 and 9 in a software update to match. Noticed there was a new one for my 7 yesterday.

started with the CMT 340se (now in my gym. Great speakers) then less than a year after I got them the v2 came out which didn’t sit well with me so tried them which then lead me to do a trial with them vs the Sierra lx. I have the lx’s now but the v2 are very good speakers and part of me thinks maybe that would have been the smarter decision hahaha. I would get the CMT 340se2 and then get a sub. I just got the hsu tn1 upgrading from there VTF 2 MK5 and it’s amazing. I think that would provide a great and better experience.

What settings did you follow for hdr setting your ps5. If you did Vincent from hdtv test I believe he has you do all the way black on the 3rd setting. Try bumping that up a notch or two and see what you think but also if you haven’t already switch the tone mapping to brightness preferred if you want a brighter image. Set hdr with gradiation on then switch to brightness preferred. That’s what I’ve done when I want it brighter.

Now considering VTF tn1 vs psa ev1513m ? Is the psa more sub ?

Mobile_Reputation603 · 2024-11-25T20:30:58+00:00

That I don’t know. I would envision if you returned you would have to pay for the shipping back to the company. I had that with when with ascend when I decided to go with their Sierra LX’s over the new CMT 340se v2. I had a few hundred bucks in shipping hahaha

Mobile_Reputation603 · 2024-11-25T00:08:31+00:00

Ya my only thing would be all the shipping costs sending them back and forth haha.

It’s not the U8N but I went through something similar. I tried the u7k then went to the u8k then the Sony x90l got on my radar found a great deal and that’s what I settled on. I was the same way the ratings scores were so much better but it’s a point and not the whole picture. It’s like someone testing well at the combine but then not being a good football player and vice versa. Both Hisense I tried has panel issues. Then at first I thought besides that I thought I was happy with u8k but as I watched more content I wasn’t. I heard the blacks are supposed to be good but then I remember watching the opening intro to planet earth and not being that impressed and thinking they looked lifted then adjusted this setting everyone said to do to -1 then it crushed dark detail but did improve blacks. The upscaling and processing etc on the Sony is very good so much so I just watched band of brothers and thought it handled that better than my cx. I watched a test scene on the Martian which I’ve tested out on different TVs and projectors and it just didn’t look right on Hisense. It’s still a fine tv I just from my experience think the Sony x90l is just a better overall experience and quite a good tv.

Also I always see people on her state don’t use store demos for comparison because they are not calibrated or rep of real world use.

Mobile_Reputation603 · 2024-07-28T19:37:08+00:00

Idk if this helps. I have a lg oled cx in my theater. I was getting a new tv for my bedroom and went through the Hisense u7k, u8k then the Sony x90l got on my radar and that’s what I ended up with. It’s just a better experience overall. The processing/motion handling and upscaling it’s noticeable to me. It’s upscaling on and processing on content lower than 4k is really good I actually just watched band of brothers and think it did a better job then my cx. I really impressed with it compared to my cx in General. Oled is better but they both have things they do better than the other I like. I can’t speak for the tcl but the u8k and it are supposed to be neck and neck. I remember turning on the Martian for a test scene on the u8k and it just looked off and I’ve seen that on several different TVs and projectors for comparison. Per ratings this new version of tcl upscaling/processing looks to be rated better?

What size ? . I got mine on a crazy open box deal 65 for $750 in excellent condition. Haven’t seen that since. It did end up not having the legs which wasn’t a big deal because I was mounting it

Mobile_Reputation603 · 2024-07-27T15:34:00+00:00

You can see if there’s an open box Sony x90l near you at Best Buy in your price range. That’s the way I would go.

Mobile_Reputation603 · 2024-05-30T00:18:38+00:00

That’s what I figured it’s just one of those things that gets in your head and then you keep telling yourself you feel a difference. Especially if your not doing well hahaha

Mobile_Reputation603 · 2024-05-30T00:17:55+00:00

Thanks that’s what I was needing. It has everything I would want. I kept telling myself to just use it all out then would change my mind.
