The Samsung's screen was better than that of the Sony at dealing with bright reflections in the room. Note that with SDR, you'll need to disable the Auto Energy Saving setting (Settings > Display & Sound > Picture > Light Sensor > Off) to get full brightness. For the accurate results listed above I used Custom mode and I recommend X80K owners do the same to get good color in bright rooms. As with most TVs, the brightest modes for HDR and SDR (Game and Vivid, respectively) are less accurate. Light output in nitsĭespite its lower light output numbers the Sony is still bright enough for all but the most light-filled viewing environments. Below are my measurements in nits for select comparison TVs in their brightest and most accurate picture modes, using both standard dynamic range (SDR) and high dynamic range (HDR) test patterns. The TCL, meanwhile, combined a brighter image than either one with excellent shadow detail and, yes, colors as accurate (and better-looking) than the Sony.īright lighting: The Sony measured relatively dim, backing up my subjective impressions, and both it and the Samsung were less-bright than the TCL and a less-expensive Vizio, both equipped with local dimming. The Sony lacked the comprehensive gaming stats display of the Samsung and both had similar (excellent) input lag, but overall I preferred the Samsung's punchier look. Again the Samsung won for contrast and punch, handily, although to its credit the Sony revealed more details in the shadows, which is an advantage in dark games with enemies lurking in the shadows. Gaming: Playing Horizon Forbidden West, color was more realistic and accurate on the Sony, and similar to the TCL and LG, while the Samsung in every mode appeared more saturated and, well, game-y. The Sony and Samsung use basic LCD backlights while the TCL leverages step-up screen tech, namely full-array local dimming and mini-LED. That might be a surprise if you're new to the TV buying game and just paying attention to brands - wait, a TCL looks better than a Sony? - but if you look at their underlying technologies, it makes perfect sense. In my side-by-side comparison of the three in CNET's TV test lab, the Samsung looked slightly better overall than the Sony, with superior brightness and contrast, while the TCL totally trounced them both. In early summer the X80K costs about the same as the Samsung QN60B and the TCL 6-Series.

The X80K is a decent all-around performer, and could appeal to TV shoppers on a budget who just want a Sony, but you can certainly do better for the money. So far 2022 is more about tightening belts than bells and whistles, however, so I took a look at Sony's cheapest TV first. In 2022 it continued the trend by releasing a kitchen sink worth of high-tech displays, from 8K to mini-LED to QD-OLED, and most demand serious cash. Works in noisy surroundings.Sony has been making TVs for 60 years and today it's known for best for expensive, high-performance screens. Clean bright and simple analog like UI - Keep screen on while working. Features: Automatic note selection - Ultra responsive -50 to +50 cent range fine tuning display - Precise to Ã?Â☑/100 semitone (Ã?Â☑ cent) - may be used by stringers - Analog like needle - Exact frequency display. Tuner still works with the other possible settings but not so accurate. Fine Chromatic Tuner works well with devices supporting 44100 16 bit audio input (almost every phone and tablet in mid - high price range) and 22050 16 bit audio input. This is automatic chromatic tuner that supports every screen size. I have made a different app for the low range instruments - called Fine Bass tuner. So this one is not suitable for bass guitars for example. I believe that it will work with any mid to mid-high range instrument as it was fine adjusted for the 70 Hz - 500 Hz.

The Fine Chromatic Tuner was adjusted and tested with acoustic guitars, soprano ukulele, tenor uke, electric guitars and banjo ukulele. The exact frequency of the sound is displayed. Features nice and clean interface allowing you to quickly find your pitch. Fine Chromatic Tuner is a chromatic instrument tuner that allows you to quickly and accurately tune your instrument using the built-in mic in your Windows or Android device.
