Our Verdict
Sony X75K
TCL 5 Series/S555 2022 QLED
The TCL 5 Series/S555 2022 QLED is better than the Sony X75K. The TCL has a full array local dimming feature that helps it deliver a much better dark room experience, with deeper blacks and better uniformity. The TCL also gets significantly brighter, so it can handle more glare in a bright room and bright highlights in HDR stand out better. Finally, the TCL is better for gaming thanks to its faster response time and variable refresh rate support, so you'll see less blur behind fast-moving objects and less screen tearing.
