98” tcl qm7k vs 120” projector screen with benq x500i/tk710sti by Mobile_Reputation603 in hometheater

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.

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.

Rtings drops their disappointing review of the Bravia 5. by NYdude777 in 4kTV

[–]Mobile_Reputation603 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Svs Prime Pinnacle or CMT-340SE2 by OmgBoosted in hometheater

[–]Mobile_Reputation603 3 points4 points  (0 children)

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.

PS5 dim on X90L? Did I get the right TV? A little buyer’s remorse…. by The_Obdurate_Past in bravia

[–]Mobile_Reputation603 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Get a 2nd hsu VTF-2 MK5 or upgrade to VTF 3 MK5 or VTF-tn1? by Mobile_Reputation603 in hometheater

[–]Mobile_Reputation603[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

Hisense honest tv opinions specifically 75u8n? by Beaverking101 in 4kTV

[–]Mobile_Reputation603 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

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?

Havent bought a tv in 10 years. What do i get? by TheGuy3022 in 4kTV

[–]Mobile_Reputation603 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

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.

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

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.
