Sony Bravia 7: The Bravia 7 (7/10, WIRED Recommends) is a beautiful show, providing sensible brightness, naturalistic colours, and suave finesse within the delicate particulars. Its largest knock is poor off-axis viewing, which could possibly be powerful to swallow at its excessive listing value. 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 essential listing: a software program glitch. Throughout my assessment, 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 out there broadly but. Most folk most likely will not have this problem, so the QM7 remains to be value contemplating, and TCL expects a broad firmware replace in December.
