Sony Bravia X80J vs TCL 6 Series/R646 2021 QLED

The sound is not much to write home about but then again most built in television speakers never are. If this is going in a small room I’m sure you’ll be fine with the built in speakers. If you’re going to put it in a medium sized room or in a room that may have ancillary sound coming in you may want to invest in a sound bar. If you’re going to use this in your main media room or in any large setting you should hook it up to a sound system for a true movie experience

It has a decent frequency response with a well-balanced sound profile that delivers clear dialogue. It gets very loud, with very little distortion, even at max volume.

On a positive note, if you have an established Google account, setting up the TV is a breeze and actually borderline fun (weird, I know). You need the Google Home app on your phone or tablet. The app helps set up the TV. But really what the app wants to do is absorb this TV into an army of Google-powered devices in your house into one app

On the flip side, TCL’s Roku TVs support Apple’s AirPlay 2 and HomeKit protocols, but that’s not true of the Google TV models.

The only dislike and difficulties I'm experiencing is the new remote and how to pair it with our old universal remote. I'd prefer to use just one but having problem with setting up surround sound and having to use TV speakers each time I turn on tv. Overall, I do like the new TV, better than my old 55" Samsung curved TV which I would never recommend to anyone. Back to Sony products for me

adjustment in picture,sound, motion clarity,action smoothing, color temp took awhile..UI is easy and the remote is great, just need to get rid of the netflix,disney,hulu,and sling shortcut buttons.

The remote control had an inelegant feel to it. Simple narrow rectangle. Loading apps was more difficult than on other smart TVs. This unit would not support Netflix

When you first turn it on, you have to pair the remote to the TV. The remote barely worked, I had to press the button 10 times to get it to do anything. It took me over 10 minutes to enter my email address. I even tried new batteries

Messed with numerous settings and cannot get rid of the lag unless picture mode is set to gaming. Returning this garbage.

In this age of instant responses, this OS is not. Moving between videos and selecting one; or another provider is like watching the little clock go around 4 or 5 times.
