Sony Bravia 7: The Bravia 7 (7/10, WIRED Recommends) is a beautiful show, providing good brightness, naturalistic colours, and suave finesse within the refined particulars. Its largest knock is poor off-axis viewing, which could possibly be robust to swallow at its excessive record worth. In any other case, it is value consideration for followers of that Sony glow, particularly since Sony appears to be uncharacteristically discounting a number of mannequin sizes.
TCL QM7: There’s just one factor protecting the superbly balanced QM7 (6/10, WIRED Reviewed) off our primary record: a software program glitch. Throughout my evaluation, I skilled a problem the place adjusting SDR backlight ranges affected HDR, which might result in extreme brightness limitations. Whereas TCL mounted the difficulty in a firmware replace for me, it isn’t obtainable broadly but. Most folk in all probability will not have this subject, so the QM7 remains to be value contemplating, and TCL expects a broad firmware replace in December.
