Our Verdict
Sony X90L/X90CL
TCL QM7/QM751G QLED
The Sony X90L/X90CL and TCL QM7/QM751G QLED are both good mid-range options that perform similarly. While the TCL has a better overall contrast ratio, the Sony isn't far behind. The TCL also has higher peak brightness than the Sony in HDR, but the Sony is close in real content, and it gets brighter in SDR. That aside, the Sony has much more accurate colors and PQ EOTF tracking, as well as better overall picture processing. Meanwhile, the TCL is a touch better for gaming, with 1440p support and slightly better input lag and response times.
