Did anyone check the TCL 65C8 at Giant yet? The price is super attractive, I wonder how good is the TV?

Went to see liao, not sure if the P8S is poorly placed or tuned, the C8 looked slighly crispier. But not sure about the Onkyo speaker tho, doesnt looks as decent as the C6's Harman Kardon.

Price difference of $400..... really can invest/partly fund in a good set of speakers

It's difficult to find differences between the TCL models, I want to find out the difference between P8 and this C8 also hard to find any good side by side info. Heck, not even TCL SG site got the C8 info listed wtf.

Ok, after scouring the internet I found the specs for both P8S and C8, it seems quite clear the P8S has a better panel so to DriftKing, it's not an issue with calibration.

Seriously difficult to find info siah. The P8S panel is better than the C8. The C8 is ELED which is edge lighting, while the P8 is DLED which is direct lighting. If anyone wants to correct me, please go ahead as I am also just trying to find out which is the better model.

Seriously difficult to find info siah. The P8S panel is better than the C8 which sort of explains the cost too. The C8 is ELED which is edge lighting, while the P8 is DLED which is direct lighting.

I think you terbaik the model. But this is interesting, but the C8 looks sharper, and has better white uniformity...

I don't think I got the models wrong, the C8 is ELED, P8S is DLED which should technically be better.

edit: I just noticed the C8 has slightly better white uniformity, but why? Isn't DLED supposed to be better?

Yes..I thought C8 is the better panel from the specs advertised.

https://en.tab-tv.com/?p=17987

C8 has Wide Colour Gamut ( Quantum Dot Technology ), and brightness of 400 nits vs

P8 ( No QDT ) and brightness of 300nits nia.

Any thoughts?

I thought quantum dot is just a buzzword? But yeah I missed out the nits rating, C8 is better than P8. Just be aware of the difference between ELED and DLED. The C8 might not have very even lighting since it's ELED.

@Vulpix, the link you sent is interesting as its the first time it shows even the Panel manufacturer

C8: AUO (I think it's a TCL and AUO tie-up, may very well be in-house)
P8S: Samsung (we can seek out which Samsung has the same display output?)


But I went to IMM Giant to see, the P8S i really think it suffered from poor settings, do have a chance to go down see see. The C8 really looked slightly more vibrant. I'm wondering is it micro-dimming is turned off from the P8S....

Well C8 got higher nits so that sort of makes sense, but I have a feeling it's not going to perform well in dark scenes. Will check it out this weekend.

Can anybody help to advise TCL 55" P8M selling at Giant at $599 is IPS panel or what kind of panel?

Thank you!
