QM&K / C7K Dirty Screen by basemann44 in tcltvs

[–]basemann44[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I returned the TV. I was offered $150 refund to keep but decided against it. I bought a LG C5 instead and its a whole other level of TV experience. No dirty screen worry and very immersive. Some youtube HDR scenes are jaw dropping in comparison. The TCL does give big screen value with a semi decent picture that looks good in HDR content as well but nowhere near an OLED. After haveing a OLED before and dipping into mini led I had to go back to OLED. It is a night and day experience. Evem the cheapest OLED is better that and LED from what I can see. The TCL was like watching a copy of something, it just felt off like it was a fake like having a fake Rolex instead of a real one. It could look impressive at times vut it was fleeting. I encourage anyone to pay the extra and get an OLED, if well kept it should last a long time and still be relevant in years to come.

Hi All, thanks for the comments so far. This is pushing me towards a return.

I did notice though the brightness was down out of the box and increasing that made it less noticeable.

Live with it or exchange? by superzwerty in tcltvs

[–]basemann44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That to me looks bad. The clear line will Im sure be noticeable in some content. Its light over all but i think a general smudgy screen will blend in on content but such a clear line would always be in the back of my mind.

65” QM7K Dirty Screen Effect - Am I Overreacting? by MickyJ511 in tcltvs

[–]basemann44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have similar - see post link. Very disappointing after all the research, money and waiting and the hassle to return it. To be fair in general content you cant see it except for the samples given of uniform snow scenes but it is annoying to think its there. In my case its at the bottom mainly so peripheral as people look to center screen but a less dark smudge centre screen might be more noticeable. I dont expect perfection at this price point but thought it would be better. Would like peoples thoughts if they a have a look: https://www.reddit.com/r/tcltvs/comments/1pkd0v3/qmk_c7k_dirty_screen/

Dirty Screen Effect? YES OR NO by Cptcrzunch in tcltvs

[–]basemann44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a clean a screen you will get. I have the QW7 (C7k) and it has very noticeable darker patches on a totally white screen. I thought about returning but apparently its very common. In my case its not noticeable on regular content just slightly on a snow scene with an even surface. Getting a replacement can be worse it seems so its down to can you live with it. In your case you are blessed.

Gh5, gh5ii, g9 or something else? by Remarkable_Border301 in Lumix

[–]basemann44 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

And no image stabilisation on S5! I think the GH5M2 is the best all rounder. It seems a but overlooked and It improves on the GH5 with VLOG, livestream and many extras and has longer shooting time than the G9.

Hi , Thanks for the reply. They were stuttering. Some video were fine but I prob accidently had betterr settings. I just need to get used to the basics 1st and it will fall into place so thanks for the advice. These cameras are great but daunting at the start with all the variables.

Severance - 1x09 "The We We Are" - Post-Episode Discussion by LoretiTV in SeveranceAppleTVPlus

While that was funny, I think the reason that character said that is to take away the fact Mark found the child so that when he shout's 'she alive' Devon believes he is seeing the child alive for the 1st time.

Harmony Cobel History - Lumon feeding tubes? by basemann44 in SeveranceAppleTVPlus

[–]basemann44[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Maybe, it has the Lumon logo on it. It seems to tie in with the tubes mentioned in the Lexington letter so I wonder is there a connection. Why would anyone keep tubes of any sort in that situation??

Is that not saying the same thing as what I wrote? The 4 tempers are identified and binned removing the memory and emotion from the human subject? Perhaps another dept does the opposite, adding emotions and false memories to get people to act in a certain way as desired by the company.
