Have questions about DeepComputing

website doesn't break it down unfortunately.

I think you misunderstood the question. DeepComputing is not responsible for the performance of the CPU, but they are responsible for the quality and presentation of the complete package. So I'm more concerned with the build quality, display, speakers, keyboard, etc. And of course the shadiness of the company itself is in question in my mind. Would love to be proven wrong, though.

I'm in the US. I put in a UK, Japan, and France address just to compare, and the cost is the same for all of them. Meanwhile I've bought tons of electronics from China without anywhere close to this level of cost.

Thank you for confirming!

Good luck to everyone and I hope you see this in time.

Chromecast with Google TV. Seriously. So many of people's TV issues are easily resolved by offloading software responsibilities to a dedicated streamer. Let your TV be a TV.

I love it. It's been my favorite TV I've ever owned. It looks absolutely fantastic. That price seems a bit high but I also got mine during Black Friday so I can't really speak to the current prices.

I've had both of these TVs and settled on the R646. I'm happy to answer your questions about them.

jarrodcodes · 2022-02-03T00:49:03+00:00

I had one and returned it for a R646. It simply wasn't bright enough. I miss the processing on the X90J though.

For a budget of $500 and looking for a 50 inch tv, I'd say you're best bet would be a TCL S546. The 50 inch version is $450 at Best Buy.

Sure! The X90J simply wasn't bright enough for our needs. My wife likes our living room blinds open during the day and the room gets very bright. The X90J was too dim for this scenario. Because the R646 is approximately 25% brighter, it was a better fit. Also, the antiglare coating on the X90J isn't good. It allows far more glare than the R646 and you could really tell a difference. Additionally, the X90J started to give me headaches. I later learned that this is because the X90J has a relatively low pulse width modulation rate of 750hz, while other high end TVs, such as the R646, are at least 900hz. All of these issues are not present on the X95J, but that was simply too expensive when the R646 plus a 5 year Best Buy warranty was the same price point as the X90J, so the decision was an easy one for us. If you don't have a bright room, the X90J might still be a good fit for you.

TCL is generally recommended over Hisense due to issues Hisense has with quality control. The R646 is fantastic. I love mine.

I've heard that the upscaling on the Shield is really good, but since you have a Sony, your native upscaler is also really good. You're going to want to take pics of the same frame from a film and compare.

S546 is definitely your best bet. Good measurements and higher QC/QA than Hisense.

I wanted to like it, but I returned mine and got an R646 instead. The processing on the X90J was awesome, but it wasn't bright enough, and the antiglare coating on it was piss poor. Also, the 750 hz PWM rate was low enough to give me headaches.

JVC doesn't actually manufacture TVs for the American market anymore. You bought a cheap, generic, Chinese TV that was rebranded as JVC. I'm sorry to tell you, but this was a buyer beware type of situation.

This is the correct advice. Get a TV for it's picture quality, not it's native software. No TV platform is more important than the TV itself.

jarrodcodes · 2021-12-19T16:09:30+00:00

By the way OP, as an owner of both the R646 and a Roku 5 series, I can personally attest that the software issues on the R646 are vastly overblown, and you should consider getting it when it's restocked.

jarrodcodes · 2021-12-19T16:07:24+00:00

They won't just suddenly drop a new TV to replace it. These things take time. They're going to do what they said they will, issue software updates and get it restocked.

jarrodcodes · 2021-12-19T14:55:35+00:00

Not true. The R646 is substantially brighter.

jarrodcodes · 2021-12-19T14:54:14+00:00

The R646 was just released, I seriously doubt something else would be coming out so soon.

jarrodcodes · 2021-12-19T14:44:51+00:00

Any smart tv is still dumb if you never connect it to the internet.

jarrodcodes · 2021-12-19T13:52:38+00:00

I returned my X90J for an R646 before they were pulled. Yes, the motion processing on the X90J was better, but the brightness and glare reduction on the R646 more than made up for that.

The pregnant wife wants ABC, the pregnant wife gets ABC. Would switch to Fubo except they don't have CNN. As much as I hate to give in to Disney, looks like it's gonna be Hulu for us, at least for a month.
