TCL, Samsung and LG 65-Inch TVs Compared
This article compares TVs from TCL, Samsung and LG.
They differ in how they make pictures, handle games and play sound.
OLED TVs can light each tiny picture point by itself, while QLED and Mini LED TVs use different backlighting approaches.
Some models can refresh their pictures faster, which can help games and sports look smoother.
The TCL T8D and LG QNED82 list especially high refresh-rate features.
The Samsung S85H is the OLED choice, while several other models use QLED or Mini LED technology.
The TVs also use different smart-TV systems: Google TV, Tizen or webOS.
Buyers often praise picture quality, but reviews of sound and reliability are mixed.
The best fit depends on which features matter most to the buyer.
The comparison covers six models from TCL, Samsung and LG, mainly described as 65-inch TVs.
Options include TCL QLED and QD-Mini LED models, Samsung QLED and OLED models, and LG QNED Mini LED and 4K UHD models.
Listed gaming specifications include 144Hz native on the TCL T8D, 120Hz with VRR on the Samsung S85H, and 120Hz native with VRR up to 144Hz on the LG QNED82.
The models use Google TV, Tizen or webOS; listed audio ranges from the TCL T8D’s ONKYO 2.1 system to 20W systems on several other models.
Customer feedback commonly praises picture quality, but reviews also report mixed experiences with sound, reliability, remotes and performance.
