Differences Between Sizes And Variants We bought and tested the 65-inch Hisense Sony BRAVIA 5, but most of our results should also be valid for the 55, 75, and 85-inch models. However, based on some results from other reviewers, it seems like there's an increase in brightness as the size of the TV increases. The 98-inch model reportedly also has a big increase in dimming zones, so most of our results aren't valid for that size.

The Sony BRAVIA 8 II uses a unique subpixel structure. Instead of having all three subpixels in a row, each pixel forms a triangle, with the larger green subpixel at the top. This leads to color fringing; on a bright window on a Windows PC, you might notice a green fringe at the top since that's where the green subpixel is. Similarly, there's a purple fringe at the bottom of bright windows, as that's where the red and blue subpixels are.

Compared To Other TVs The Hisense U8QG is a worthy successor to the 2024 Hisense U8/U8N. It's even brighter and has a solid uptick in contrast compared to the 2024 model. It's also loaded with modern features and attempts to cater to PC gamers with its USB-C alt-display port and high refresh rates. However, the TV's gaming performance is a bit held back by the fact that VRR and 1080p @ 288Hz both don't work when using the USB-C port.

Differences Between Sizes And Variants We bought and tested the 65-inch QD-OLED Samsung S85F, and these results are also valid for the 55-inch model. It's also available in 77 and 83-inch options, but those use WOLED panels, so they perform differently. Whether or not you get a QD-OLED panel could differ depending on the retailer as well, so pay attention to the model code.

Almost all TVs made nowadays have smart features built into them. Manufacturers like LG and Samsung use their own proprietary operating systems, while other brands use third-party options. One of the most popular third-party platforms is the Google TV OS used by brands like Sony, Hisense, and TCL. Models that run Google TV tend to be packed with smart features like voice control and Chromecast and have a huge selection of apps, so you don't need a dedicated streaming box anymore.

Differences Between Sizes And Variants We bought and tested the 65-inch LG QNED85T, and these results are also valid for the 50, 55, and 75-inch models. The 86-inch model uses an IPS panel, so our results aren't valid for that size. The exact model code varies between regions and retailers. The QNED85TAA variant sold at Costco comes with a remote that supports NFC, has Wi-Fi 6E, and has a longer warranty. There are two variants of this TV sold in Europe: the LG QNED86T and the LG QNED87T.

Differences Between Sizes And Variants We've bought and tested the 65-inch Samsung DU7200, which is also available in 43, 50, 55, 60, 70, 75, and 85-inch sizes. All sizes offer the same picture quality and overall performance. Note that with Samsung TVs, the four letters after the short model code (FXZA in this case) vary between different retailers and regions, but there's no difference in performance. Costco and Sam's Club sell a variant of this TV known as the Samsung DU7200D.

Differences Between Sizes And Variants We bought and tested the 65-inch Panasonic W95A (65W95AP), and these results are also valid for the 55 (55W95AP), 75 (75W95AP), and 85-inch (85W95AP) models. Costco sells a variant of the 65-inch model known as the 65W95APK. It performs the same but comes with an extended warranty. There are no other known variants of the TV, so our results should be valid for all regions, but the inputs vary depending on regional requirements for tuners.
