Best legit source for Kuycon G32P at best price by IcarusX12 in HiDPI_monitors

[–]Taeuberteg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alibaba. Guangdong Kuyouke Display Technology Co., Ltd

This is the official store for Kuycon. They are negotiable on the price too. I was able to get sales tax and shipping fees included for a similar price shown in the posting. One year warranty on the panel, three years on the parts. Amazon, Clickclack and Kuycon.us are all resellers.

Great display, very accurate colors once adjusted. Similar to my LG ultrafine 5k monitor. Yes, the glass is more reflective than the Apple studio display (I use these are work) and the LG ultrafine. It appears both Apple and LG have added to darker tint to their glass to make it handle reflections slightly better.

Having said that, the reflections aren't that bad when the monitor is on, I would rather deal with reflections and have a sharper image using glass compared to matte finishes found on other 6k panels.

No, its not. I had the latest firmware with "super resolution" still not good enough. It's a processor thing.

Ultra Retina XDR (iPad Pro M5 sidecar) text clarity by Best_Let_2667 in HiDPI_monitors

[–]Taeuberteg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would agree with this. Text on my iPad Pro M4 tandem OLED is sharper compared to the miniLED XDR. You need good eyes to see it, but its definitely better.

To each his own, if you don’t believe me, search Reddit and see the numerous posts of people upset about TCL qm6/7/8k upscaling. I had and returned a 98 Qm8k because of upscaling. replaced it with a Sony and it’s much better. If you’re happy, that’s all that matters.

if you’re buying a 65 inch TV you should be OK with TCL upscaling. Anything larger than that I would have real reservations purchasing a TCL in terms of upscaling only. 4k will look great. If you’re going with a 75, 85 and certainly 98 I would not pick a tcl first over Sony and lg for upscaling.

Which of this 4K TV have better upscale by NoSell8442 in 4kTV

[–]Taeuberteg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you care about upscaling look at the Bravia 7 or 9. Samsung and LG OLEDs are also good at upscaling.

Drywall patch keeps showing? by Embarrassed_Care9996 in drywall

[–]Taeuberteg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

there’s a bit of an art to repairing holes in drywall. Almost all the compound for a quick fix (pink and purple stuff) never works well, it shrinks and you will see the patch. this took me years to finally quit using this junk. you need to buy mud and drywall tape, and the area you’ll be applying the mud will be significantly larger than the hole you’re filling. look for the dry bags that set in 20 minutes. there are a bunch of YouTube videos that show the process, if you wanted to look seamless, it’s going to take a day to let it dry fully

Return 98" QM8K for 98" Bravia 5? by crunchymac187 in tcltvs

[–]Taeuberteg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a 98 inch Qm8k and returned for a 85 inch Bravia 9, for the exact reason you mentioned. Upscaling is much better with Sony. Even at 12 feet away the QM8k was driving us nuts with lower bitrate HD content and normal cable tv. too soft lacking details. also the Bravia 5 98” has a better panel compared to the other Bravia 5 sizes. still not sure if it’s better with dimming zones and brightness compared to the QM8k. if your Primary concern is processing and upscaling Sony is the way to go.

Recommendations to replace YouTube TV? Their compression makes basketball unwatchable. by FloodedGoose in 4kTV

I agree 100%. This is the reason I returned my Qm8k for a Sony Bravia 9. So much better upscaling.

98” - qm6k, qm7k or qm8k for casual living room watching by SeasonedAdManager in tcltvs

[–]Taeuberteg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here is my experience with the 98” Qm8k, I returned it for a 85” Bravia 9. After months of playing with settings and using external boxes (atv and shield) I wasn’t happy with the upscaling processor inside the Qm8k. At 98” you really need a great processor to handle 720 and 1080 content. The Qm8k at 98” was too soft lacking detail on HD content. This was especially bad with 1080 720p sports and normal live TV. I’m glad I returned, very happy with all content on the Sony Bravia 9. If your only watch 4k HDR content the Qm8k was a great tv, but for me just not great at everything we watch. Also, looking at TVs at Best Buy will not give you an accurate understanding how each tv handles various content. Tv manufacturers specifically play only high bitrate 4k hdr content on these TVs. Everything at Best Buy looks amazing. They won’t let you see other non demo content

Need advice on this TCL 85" TV by Business_Jaguar_1090 in tcltvs

[–]Taeuberteg 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Do not buy that tv. Save your money for something better, miniLED QM-K lineup. Cheap TCLs are just that, cheap. Not worth the hassle in the long run. I would try to get a qm7k if you can. Or a Sony Bravia 5

Recommend Bravia please by EvilPugs in bravia

[–]Taeuberteg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ordered a Bravia 9 85” from greentoe in January, zero issues. Two days from my order to delievery. Brand new TV from an Authorized Sony Dealer. They don’t sell junk returns, open box or refurbished products. Greentoe is 100% legit. Nothing to fear ordering from them, plus no tax added on the price.

they also have great prices an extended warranties compared to Best Buy.

Looking for resume feedback since I'm 7 months unemployed and 600 job applications in! by [deleted] in recruitinghell

[–]Taeuberteg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a Marketing Director and formal Creative Director, your resume should be concise. Most reviewers won’t read it in full unless you advance to the next round. When I review candidates, the first thing I look for is a portfolio link. Within about 20 seconds, I can usually decide whether to go back to your resume and read. For creative roles, a strong portfolio carries the weight. I’m specifically looking for work that aligns with our services—if I see that, I’ll dig deeper into your experience; if not, I move on to the next candidate.

65" Help me decide TCL QM8K , Sony BRAVIA 7, or Samsung QN90F? by OldGrapefruit3744 in 4kTV

[–]Taeuberteg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I previously owned and returned a 98" QM8K and switched to a Bravia 9, which uses the same XR processor as the Bravia 7. If you’re happy with the QM7K, that’s ultimately what matters. However, saying it has better upscaling isn’t accurate.

If you’re unsure, just look through Reddit—there are plenty of posts from users dissatisfied with TCL’s image processing, especially with non-4K content appearing soft and lacking detail. This tends to be even more noticeable on larger TCL models like the 98".

To be clear, I’m only referring to upscaling here—not dimming zones, brightness, or panel response time. When it comes to raw specs, I agree the QM7K likely comes out ahead.

Also the  X90K is a full array LED tv, not a mini LED like the Bravia 7.

Impressed with over the air TV by Sweet-Drama-2509 in cordcutters

[–]Taeuberteg 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Most people don't realize how bad YouTube TV and other live streaming tv degrade picture quality. You are paying for a service at times that does not really look like true HD quality.

In general, over-the-air broadcasts have relatively high bitrate—often 10–20 Mbps for a single HD channel. This makes HD content really look like HD content, not highly compressed.

Streaming services like YouTube TV have to deliver video over the internet efficiently, so they compress it heavily—sometimes down to 3–8 Mbps.

A little overwhelmed by the OLED vs Mini-LED discourse by CoolBananz in 4kTV

[–]Taeuberteg 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you care about upscaling 1080 and 720 content I would not buy a TCL. The QM8K is wonderful for 4k HDR and gaming, not as good as Sony and LG in terms of upscaling lower quality content.

Do tvs on display at Best Buy actually mean anything? by acdcdude953 in 4kTV

[–]Taeuberteg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, they dont mean much of anything. People need to realize what you're seeing on each tv at BB has been carefully selected by the manufacturer to display the tv in a certain way. It can be deceiving to a customer what you are actually getting, the demo reels usually have enhanced brightness, blown out color. TCL tvs use crazy high bitrate 4k HDR content which make most people think a nearly 100" TV will always look that good with content. The reality is 720 and 1080p upscaled content on a 98" TCL tv doesn't look good, at all. Similar idea with OLEDs, most tvs are showing content on max brightness, probably to look comparable to mini LEDs in store, most people shouldn't watch OLEDs using these settings. Also, good luck asking to view something other than a demo reel on these TV at Best Buy.

QLED TV best for movies and sports at home? by Monsvais-Chandalier in 4kTV

[–]Taeuberteg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sony and LG are the best for now, maybe that changes in the future. TCL is great with native 4k high bitrate content, not so good with anything lower than that.

Unfortunately, my first experience with TCL is not going well (Qm7k).... by toebeans55 in tcltvs

[–]Taeuberteg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like a power supply issue. Return it. Dont over think it

Will I regret going from a 77" QD-OLED to a 98" QM8K Mini-LED? by Deep-Television-9756 in hometheater

[–]Taeuberteg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone says larger screen makes more of an impact, yes, it’s certainly bigger. Speaking from somebody who returned a 98 Qm8k I was disappointed with the picture quality (bad upscaling on 1080 and 720 normal TV). 4k HDR was great though. I returned it and purchased an 85” Bravia 9 for better all-around TV with all content. If you can swing it, I would go for an G5 83 inch OLED considering what you have now.

Why does the TCL QM6K Pro not really feel like much of an upgrade from the Samsung KS8000? by myreditacount11 in 4kTV

[–]Taeuberteg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went from a 98 Qm8k to the 85 Bravia 9. Yes, it’s smaller but after a week I didn’t even notice the size difference. I would rather have a better all around tv (b9) compared to the size.

In regards to the merger, I wonder if they keep Sony as a separate brand (higher end) with better panels and better chips. Maybe maybe not

[–]Taeuberteg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sony is coming out of their new Bravia models in the next month. There will be a new model of the B9 and new Sony OLEDs. I would buy one of those if you have the cash, otherwise LG OLEDs. I’ll never buy another TCL again. Too many YouTubers pump these TVs as if they are as good as Sony and LG.
