    I am more than machine. More than man. More than a fusion of the two. Don’t you agree? Wait for the winds. Then my birds sing. And the deep grottos whisper my name. Daniel… Daniel… Daniel…

  5. Max Hill on August 5, 2020 at 8:27 pm

    thx, cool guy!

  6. Mohammad Eghbali on August 5, 2020 at 8:28 pm

    hey friend 👋
    Don’t you review Panasonic TVs?
    I hope U can help me by reviewing some 2019 & 2020 models. thanks.
    best regards

  7. BlackFederalGaming on August 5, 2020 at 8:31 pm

    From all the new stuff in 2020 coming out. I’d say wait to buy a new TV. Manufacturer’s will all be in huge competition this year with great new designs and features, in turn will drop prices. More bang for your buck 😎👍

  8. Famous West on August 5, 2020 at 8:32 pm

    Wish I found y’all channel earlier. Thanks guys

  9. Omar Bin AbdulAziz on August 5, 2020 at 8:32 pm

  10. M Ahmed on August 5, 2020 at 8:33 pm

    How is ru8000 or q60r

  11. Matt Noble on August 5, 2020 at 8:33 pm

    I live in Australia and none of the TCL or Hisense models are available here. Would you recommend the Samsung Q60 or even the Samsung RU8000 as they are decent priced here and way better than TCL and Hisense here. Or would you recommend for me to wait for 2020 models?

  12. Jorel Boston on August 5, 2020 at 8:33 pm

    I just bought the Q70 75 inch. Beautiful tv & bright with very nice tizen system. I’ll admit it does crush the blacks and get a lil dark during some scenes. Overall there is no perfect tv. This tv had the best contrast ratio b/t Q70&80&90. It def doesn’t reflect light too well.

  13. Денис Демьянюк on August 5, 2020 at 8:36 pm

    Why no Phillips tv at all?

  14. TypicallyUnique on August 5, 2020 at 8:37 pm

    The LG C9 STILL has a hefty price.

  15. Christos on August 5, 2020 at 8:37 pm

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tG6IRuX544w

    Why there is a different stand in the same tv?

  16. John Evans on August 5, 2020 at 8:38 pm

    No Vizio M8?

  17. Chetan Gambhir on August 5, 2020 at 8:39 pm

    Hi Daniel, Nice review as always.. Well, I’ve heard about IMAX Enhanced TVs n Sound systems recently…(Some newly launched Sony TVs and AVRs might be certified as IMAX Enhanced)… However I’ve not come across any review about IMAX Enhanced devices…Can u put some light on this matter. Thanks

  18. Deepak Kumar on August 5, 2020 at 8:39 pm

    Rtings, Pls do a review on Samsung Q80t

  19. FB Kensar HD on August 5, 2020 at 8:41 pm

    I wish I could get you guys more subs 🙁

  20. Lester Aanholt on August 5, 2020 at 8:47 pm

    Anybody have any input they could provide on which TV is better between TCL 6 series and the Hisense H9F? Looking for a new one and I primarily would watch sports and streaming services like HBO Go and Amazon Prime.

  21. Paul M on August 5, 2020 at 8:49 pm

    Don’t exactly agree with what he said about the Vizio vs the Samsung, but hey, to each his own I guess.
    If it were me buying the TV, I’d pick the Vizio.

  22. jeff rhonemus on August 5, 2020 at 8:53 pm

    Hi, where do I go to see the video for the settings you recommend for the lg CX tv?

  23. Claudius Moi on August 5, 2020 at 8:53 pm

    This guy talks and walks like a German.

  24. Scissortongue on August 5, 2020 at 8:53 pm

    Don’t buy Samsung

  25. killerdude35 on August 5, 2020 at 8:54 pm

    Regarding the Samsungs, no Dolby Vision support = no sale!

  26. Kyle Z on August 5, 2020 at 8:57 pm

    Just picked up my new Samsung 65" 4K Q70R yesterday!

  27. krzysztof szpun on August 5, 2020 at 8:57 pm

    Q80r vs Xg95? Bright room, gaming, etc. I hav now Q70 and is to reflective and hav more lolipoop colors… What do u think?? Help 😀

  28. srikanth vijaykumar on August 5, 2020 at 8:57 pm

    I am trying to avoid as much Chinese products as possible. I would buy Sony Samsung or lg even if I have to pay few hundred bucks extra but no TCL OR HISENSE especially the latter is a state owned company. Good luck with your privacy.

  29. zombieimpact1865 1 on August 5, 2020 at 8:59 pm

    You chose the worst TV’s😂

  30. Wilbur on August 5, 2020 at 9:00 pm

    Why is Panasonic not on this list? I can’t take this list of the "Best TV’s of ’19" seriously because not a single 2019 Panasonic TV has been reviewed on their website while a lot of other TV reviews I’ve seen claim that Panasonic’s TV’s provide reference or near reference grade performance. I guess I just have to compare their recommendations to Panasonic’s TV lineup..

  31. Dan Christer Gadian on August 5, 2020 at 9:01 pm

    what’s the difference with a8us and p6us they have the same price and same size it’s kinda confusing

  32. Ezra Litton on August 5, 2020 at 9:01 pm

    LG has to fix their burn in problem.  I guarantee that affects purchasing decisions.  Anyone that does research as a consumer will read about it.  I know people say that its not likely to happen quickly as long as you vary your content.  But really, people watch the same channels over and over again.  Same news channels, same sports channels.  No one switches channel and content every hour.  That’s not realistic.  I know that rtings has their burn in test running and they say it won’t affect most people.  That sounds great, but no one wants to be the out lyer.  I had a B6 65" panel that was burned in less than a year.  I had never heard of burn in until I learned from the repair person that came and told me LG wouldn’t honor the warranty due to the "physical damage."  Make a TV  that can be used the way people want without fear of wasting $3200 (price I paid for the B6).  Even though the LG OLED is better experience, people don’t have to worry about the burn in with the Samsung.  LG has Dolby Vision – Samsung doesn’t.  That should be another advantage.  When’s the last time you saw HDR10+ on Netflix?  I’m still on the fence, I’d love to replace this B6 with a C9 77" but man… 5k is a lot to spend on a TV that I have to be worried about not lasting 3-4 years minimum.

  33. Marcus Powell on August 5, 2020 at 9:01 pm

    How did the 950G beat the Q80 and Quantum X? I’m confused

  34. Chris ward on August 5, 2020 at 9:02 pm

    OK rtings.com I am looking to upsize my samsung tv from 50 to 65 what is the best value for money to get ?? upto 900€ its not used for gaming thanks in advance

  35. William 0502 on August 5, 2020 at 9:03 pm

    What about the sony 900f ??

  36. KOR-rey Ren on August 5, 2020 at 9:03 pm

    Why does it look like the r625’s local dimming is turned off? This is shady, and not an accurate reproduction of what the TV is really like. There’s clearly something off here. The Hisense clearly looks better, and that’s just not the case. If anything, the TCL has better blacks and contrast than the Hisense H9F.

  37. Coasterlocity on August 5, 2020 at 9:04 pm

    Hmm, I just chose a q80 over a q70 and I’ll primarily use it for gaming. Was this a bad decision?

  38. Tenzin Thutop on August 5, 2020 at 9:04 pm

    Samsung 65 inch Q70r or Q70t? Which one would you guys suggest?

  39. Tracker Who? on August 5, 2020 at 9:05 pm

    You guys never talk about eye care or low blue light features to reduce eyestrain for gamers. Until I see a healthy tv for the eyes I’m sticking with my 1440 120fps 32 inch free sync monitor…much healthier for long gaming sessions.

  40. BROis on August 5, 2020 at 9:06 pm

    Wish there were a breakdown specifically for large TV’s. I’m only interested in 80"+. Trying to figure out the value curve for the 85/86" TV options.

  41. Mike Berg on August 5, 2020 at 9:07 pm

    j’ai des Pubs sur YouTube Tv dans ma Hisense H9F. les pubs on commencée environ 2 semaines après mon acquisition. 0/10 pour les ads

  42. Mai Duc Tam Vu on August 5, 2020 at 9:08 pm

    Hi there, Could you help me out please? I just got a PS4 Pro recently and am interested in buying a 4K 120HZ TV with HDR around 43 – 50 inches in size. I would like a TV that comes with a BRIGHT screen when activating HDR to play PS4 and am just going to use the TV to play Playstation and Watching TV only (not using for PC) in my bedroom (my bed room is pretty dark). Thanks for your help and hope you all the best.

  43. Scissortongue on August 5, 2020 at 9:09 pm

    If you’re in the UK don’t buy the Q80R. Isn’t the same as the one listed here. Rtings don’t seem to care about that fact.

  44. TopSecretVid on August 5, 2020 at 9:09 pm

    Do you ever review Bang&Olufsen TV’S??

  45. Daemon247 on August 5, 2020 at 9:11 pm

    Hello,what is the best tv with deep blacks none oled?Please Help.

  46. zombieimpact1865 1 on August 5, 2020 at 9:15 pm

    The TCL 6 series is ass. The Vizio m series quantum m8 model is better

  47. milton mamani on August 5, 2020 at 9:17 pm

    After this review I will buy a q80r, thanks guys

  48. ahwayzcool on August 5, 2020 at 9:18 pm

    I’m stuck deciding between a 75 inch q70 or q80. Leaning more toward q80

  49. H.T on August 5, 2020 at 9:19 pm

    OK I need your advice which one is better choice (Sony75X800) or (LG757500)

  50. Mariusz Kruk on August 5, 2020 at 9:19 pm
