Compare TCL P7K / P79K vs LG QNED80A6A (IPS)

The time has come to gather all observations. The TCL P7K / P79K is a television that cleverly juggles compromises, offering significantly more than we could expect in its price range. Its undeniable advantage is the VA panel, guaranteeing deep blacks and high contrast, and a surprisingly rich package for gamers (with VRR and 120 Hz support at lower resolutions) makes it a phenomenal choice for console owners. The whole package is tied together by the functional Google TV system. Of course, low peak brightness means that HDR content lacks spectacular highlights, and the TV's performance in sunlit rooms is limited. And while at its relatively low price, the P7K / P79K is quite a decent option, its biggest competitor turns out to be… its more refined sibling, the P8K. Often FOR a small extra charge, we get a device a class higher – with a native 4K 144 Hz panel, significantly better audio system, and generally higher build quality, which is reflected in its much higher rating on our portal. Therefore, the final verdict must be as follows: if your budget is absolutely non-negotiable, the P7K / P79K will be a good and cost-effective choice. However, if you can afford to add a small amount, the P8K model will offer significantly more and will ultimately be a more satisfying investment.

The QNED80A variant based on IPS technology targets a completely different audience. If you are looking for a television for a space where life buzzes all day, and family members watch TV from different spots, this will be a good choice. Wide viewing angles and saturated colors ensure that the picture looks good regardless of whether we are sitting directly in front or at the dining table. Of course, it is not perfect equipment, as there simply aren't any in this price range. The IPS panel won't provide you with jet black, so evening horror movie sessions may appear slightly gray, and edge dimming in dark scenes can create visible light stripes. Despite these shortcomings, the QNED80A makes up for it with an overall good picture quality. The processor's performance deserves immense praise – both scaling regular TV to 4K and presenting details in HDR content are outstanding here. The picture is clean, sharp, and rich in detail, even if the screen itself doesn't break brightness records. Combined with the superb WebOS system, which operates quickly and stably, this is a very safe, solid choice for everyday family entertainment at a relatively low price.

In the discussion about image quality, the conversation almost always starts with the issue of black depth and contrast, which are parameters defining the plasticity and realism of the observed world. And here, the TCL P7k/P79k immediately lays its strongest asset on the table – a VA-type panel. It is its construction that makes the native relationship between the brightest and darkest parts of the image more than satisfactory, especially in the context of the price segment that this model represents. In the majority of scenes, the achieved black has a noble depth, which allows for building an engaging viewer experience. To illustrate the scale, it is worth mentioning that competitive constructions based on IPS panels often offer results that are even four or sometimes five times lower, which constitutes a chasm in direct comparison. Of course, entering the territory of models oriented towards affordability, we must be aware of certain compromises. In the discussed television, we will not find an advanced local dimming system that could further enhance the impression of contrast. However, the absence of this feature is fully understandable and constitutes a logical consequence of positioning the product in the market – this technology in TCL's portfolio for 2025 has been reserved for higher-positioned, more prestigious series marked with the letter "C".

If you come across a model equipped with an IPS panel, the situation changes drastically and we won't beat around the bush – the contrast is simply weak. This is a natural feature of this technology, which pales in comparison to VA panels. Black, especially during evening screenings in the dark, is rarely jet black – more often, it leans towards shades of dark gray or navy blue. However, the real problem with this variant is the way the local dimming system operates. Since we are dealing with edge-lit backlighting on a panel that naturally "lets" through more light, this system often does more harm than good. When a bright object appears on a dark background, the TV tries to illuminate it by activating the appropriate zone. The effect? Instead of pinpoint light, we see illuminated vertical bands stretching across the entire screen. Unfortunately, this looks worse than in the VA version. Due to the lower native contrast of the panel, these "light bands" (so-called blooming) are much more visible and stand out more from the background. In many cases, these jumps in brightness are so aggressive that instead of enjoying the show, we focus on the backlighting work.

When evaluating the HDR effect, we must make it clear and without marketing embellishment: the P7K/P79K is not and was never meant to be a master in this field. The maximum peak brightness that this panel can generate is only around 300 nits. This is a borderline value, a sort of thin red line between what can be considered a barely satisfactory HDR signal and what is really not much different from standard dynamic range (SDR), unfortunately leaning towards the latter. Synthetic tests found brutal confirmation in reality – our measurements taken during movie screenings showed that luminance in key bright parts of the content rarely exceeded the threshold of 200-250 nits. Therefore, this is not a television that would allow content produced in a wide tonal range to truly shine, and we must openly acknowledge that.

Unfortunately, the issue of color reproduction is presented equally restrained. Although the manufacturer positions this model in the "QLED" family, thanks to the use of a PFS LED filter, the results do not match the heightened expectations. The coverage of the wide DCI-P3 color gamut is only 86%. Compared to the market, this is at best an average result, as most devices that employ additional layers to expand the color spectrum easily achieve values at a minimum level of 90-92%.

When it comes to image dynamics and brightness, the QNED80A has its feet firmly on the ground. It is not a "light beast" – during our measurements, peak brightness oscillated around 350-400 nits. To put it plainly: these are values that will not allow HDR formats to fully spread their wings. So don’t expect the glare of the sun or car headlights in movies to blind you. However, this TV has a powerful ace up its sleeve that saves the overall view of the image – it is the colors. LG engineers have implemented an advanced filtration system here (technically likely based on a PFS phosphor, marketed as QNED/NanoCell), which does a fantastic job. Thanks to it, despite the average brightness, the screen can generate exceptionally saturated and pure colors. Our instruments showed coverage of the wide DCI-P3 cinema palette at the level of 93-94%. This result outclasses most standard LCD TVs. In practice, this means that when watching 4K HDR content, the image – while not particularly bright – is very plastic, vibrant, and pleases the eye with the depth of colors.

Every reliable image quality assessment must begin by selecting the most optimal factory mode. In the case of the tested model P7K/P79K, the choice was confidently made for the "Film" mode. It is this mode that presents an image closest to the creators' intentions, avoiding both the exaggerated brightness of dynamic mode and the excessive dimming known from eco settings. And it must be admitted that, for a device in this price range, the factory calibration is surprisingly decent, although it is not free from a few stumbles. The most noticeable flaw turned out to be an imperfectly adjusted white balance. A slight dominance of the blue component gives the image a subtly cool, chilly character, thus deviating from the exemplary neutrality that the director wanted to show us. The television performs much better in reproducing the grayscale in a standard dynamic range – the gamma curve is executed almost perfectly. A minor reservation can only be made for the darkest parts of the image, where a slight deviation from the norm causes a loss of some detail in the shadows. The most serious challenge for TCL's software, however, was the interpretation of the HDR signal, which is illustrated by the EOTF curve. The television follows its own, rather free path here – the darkest details are disproportionately brightened, followed by a noticeable slowdown in brightness increase for midtones. Fortunately, most of these imperfections are software-related issues that can be eliminated. With this thought in mind, we proceeded to the professional calibration process.

Here, regardless of whether you encounter the VA or IPS version, the situation looks identical. LG engineers once again served us their vision of a "gaming look," which unfortunately has little to do with accuracy. After switching to console, the white balance automatically drifts into very cold areas. The image is dominated by the color blue, making it seem artificially sharpened, and the white is so aggressive that it is almost burned out. This creates an effect that we associate with bright retail modes – everything is supposed to shine and scream "I am digital." While some may like this, we must say it straight: this is not an accurate image. If you care about naturalness, we suggest checking the settings right away and changing the color temperature to a warmer one.

The calibration process turned out to be a home run, especially in the context of standard dynamic range (SDR) content. We successfully managed to eliminate the TV's tendency to emphasize cool tones, restoring the whites to their natural neutrality. Furthermore, precise adjustments allowed us to correct a slight error in the gamma curve, so the darkest areas of the image regained their proper depth, without a trace of unnatural brightening. The effects are measurable and impressive – in the ColorChecker test, the vast majority of color reproduction errors fell below the perceptual threshold, achieving a deltaE value below 2. This is a result that would not shame much more expensive constructions. Unfortunately, in the case of HDR content, we hit a wall in the form of the inherent limitations of the panel itself. And although we managed to bring the colors in line, the software's specifics mean that the TV still adapts brightness in its own way, as evidenced by the persistent, non-standard EOTF curve. In summary, calibration brings tremendous added value, but one must be aware that it cannot overcome certain physical barriers. A slight boost in black levels, resulting from the lack of local dimming, and limited peak brightness mean that HDR content will not always be able to showcase its full potential. This is simply not the main task of this display; its true strength, especially after professional tuning, lies in the viewing of SDR materials.

After professional calibration, the QNED80A in the IPS version has changed beyond recognition, especially in "regular" content (SDR). We managed to eliminate the greenish tint and calm down the overly bright gamma. In classic television or older games, color errors (DeltaE) fell below the threshold of perceptibility (value < 2). The image is now consistent, natural, and truly pleasing to the eye. The situation is somewhat more complicated in HDR mode. Although the colors are already in place, the television has trouble perfectly controlling the brightness (EOTF curve). Due to the limitations of edge lighting and the rather poor adjustment options provided by LG in this area, the television's software sometimes "does what it wants" just to mask the imperfections of black and contrast. However, this is not a cause for concern – despite these technical limitations, the image after calibration is a class better than what you saw out of the box.

The issue of fluidity in tonal transitions, or popular grading, is another area where the P7K / P79K evokes mixed feelings and surprises with its dual nature. If we were to evaluate solely its ability to render smooth color gradients, we would undoubtedly give it a solid score of 8/10. Unfortunately, this positive image is marred by the use of very aggressive and unsightly dithering. This artifact is particularly noticeable on demanding test patterns – such as the one depicting an actor submerged in red water – where a rough, unnatural texture appears on uniform color surfaces, revealing the digital nature of the image. This is particularly disappointing as it is not a new issue. It seems to be a sort of legacy from previous generations of budget TCL models, which is a shame because it constitutes a flaw on what is essentially a quite competent image and is a mistake that could have been avoided.

Another very strong point of this model is the way it handles tonal transitions. Often in cheaper LCD constructions, we see what's called banding – a situation where the television cannot smoothly display a gradient, creating visible "steps" between shades. In the case of the QNED80A, the engineers have done their homework. Whether we are watching a blue sky, fog, or dark scenes full of gray, the transitions between colors are incredibly smooth and soft. There are no artificial cuts or jagged color edges. As a result, the image is very cohesive and natural, which is not a standard in this price segment.

After a series of harsh evaluations, fortunately, the time comes for praise, and this is due to the TCL AiPQ image processor for its work in digital processing and content scaling. It should be noted right away that we are not talking about the level known from flagship designs; nevertheless, in the price segment represented by the P7K/P79K, the results achieved are more than solid. The feature that smooths tonal transitions performs particularly well, effectively eliminating posterization, which are the characteristic bands often visible in materials with higher compression, such as from the YouTube service. The algorithm can elegantly remove unwanted gradients, which ultimately looks really good. The television also competently handles upscaling, which is the task of raising low-resolution materials to 4K standard. The output image, although it may seem a bit too sharp out of the box, fortunately, is not a problem. The software allows for easy adjustment of this parameter using a sharpness slider, so the final appearance can be easily tailored to personal preferences.

It often happens that cheap 4K TVs mercilessly expose the flaws of low-resolution materials. Here, it's different. The QNED80A is great equipment for watching content that isn't perfect. The processor does a great job of upscaling the image, making even older recordings look quite decent on a 4K screen – they are consistent and free of digital noise. An interesting feature is the gradation reduction available in the settings. It is quite effective in combating so-called banding (color banding) in low-bitrate materials. Of course, one should approach it with some caution. Due to the lower computing power of the chip (compared to the premium series), enabling this option can sometimes result in unwanted artifacts or blurriness. Despite this risk, we encourage experimentation, as in many cases this feature can save a poor-quality viewing experience.

The issue of fluidity and sharpness of the image in motion is inextricably linked to the fundamental parameter of the panel, and in the case of the TCL P7K/P79K, we are dealing with a panel that has a native refresh rate of 60 Hz. This specification already defines its capabilities and makes it difficult to unequivocally recommend it to enthusiasts of dynamic sports broadcasts. During rapid camera movements, the image loses sharpness, and the panel itself also shows a slight tendency to blur, which may be noticeable to more sensitive viewers. Fortunately, not everything in this aspect has been left to chance. The manufacturer has implemented a simple motion smoothing system, which is primarily used in film materials recorded at 24 or 30 frames per second. Thanks to a dedicated slider, the user can independently decide on the final character of the motion – from a fully cinematic, slightly juddery image to achieving a very smooth, almost theatrical effect. It is a simple yet effective tool that allows users to tailor the viewing experience to their own preferences.

In terms of motion reproduction, the QNED80A unfortunately has a tough time. The television is based on a 60Hz refresh rate panel, which in 2025 in the QNED series is quite a disappointment. If you are looking for perfect sharpness in dynamic soccer matches, you might feel a bit unsatisfied. A solution in this situation is the TruMotion system. It allows for artificially adding frames, which smooths out the image in movies and series. In the menu, you will find the De-Judder slider – we recommend setting it to a value of 2, 3, or 4. This is the "golden mean" that improves fluidity without turning the film into a soap opera.

Although on paper the native 4K@60Hz matrix might suggest that the TCL P7K/P79K is not a TV tailored for gamers, the reality turns out to be surprisingly different. On the contrary, the manufacturer has ensured a rich package of features that make it a very friendly companion for next-generation consoles. Onboard, we find key technologies such as ALLM, which provides automatic switching to low-latency mode, and VRR, or variable refresh rate, which eliminates screen tearing. The list is completed by support for Dolby Vision Gaming and a simple yet functional Game Bar. However, the real and extremely pleasant surprise is something else. It turns out that the TV easily supports high refresh rate signals of 120 Hz, but at lower resolutions – 1080p and 1440p. This is fantastic news for console owners who know full well how rarely games run in native 4K at a full 120 frames per second. The ability to choose between higher resolution and doubled smoothness is therefore an extremely sensible compromise.

In summary, although the P7K/P79K may not be the target screen for the most avid tournament gamers, it offers a package of options for the casual or occasional console user that is hard to find among many competitors at this price point.

In the gaming section, we won't sugarcoat it for you – the QNED80A is not e-sports equipment. The lack of support for 120Hz signal is a fact that must be accepted. However, LG engineers have done everything to squeeze the maximum potential out of this 60 Hz panel, providing gamers with a set of desired features. First and foremost, the television supports VRR (in the range of 48-60Hz) and ALLM. This means that the image is smooth, does not stutter, and the television automatically switches to low latency mode as soon as we pick up the controller. Accessing these options is incredibly simple thanks to the dedicated system overlay – Game Dashboard. It is also worth appreciating the support for the HGiG format. This is a nod to owners of modern consoles. Although the screen does not support gaming Dolby Vision, HGiG ensures that the television "understands" how to display games in HDR. This helps us avoid the issue of blown-out clouds, which is unfortunately a plague on cheaper LCD televisions.

Complementing this rich package for gamers is a parameter that has a direct impact on comfort and performance in gameplay – input lag. Even in native 60 Hz mode, the television boasts an excellent result of just 15 ms. However, the real magic happens when switching to 120 Hz mode, when the lag drops nearly in half, reaching values below 10 ms. Such responsiveness means that every command from the controller is transferred to the screen in the blink of an eye, something not only professionals will appreciate, but anyone who values smooth and immediate interaction with the game.

What about responsiveness? Our measurements showed an input lag of about 15 ms. In the gaming world, where top monitors go down to 1 ms, this might seem like an average result, but in the category of living room TVs, it is a very good result. In practice, this means that when playing on a console, you will not feel any discomfort. There's no situation here where the character reacts with a noticeable delay after pressing a button on the controller. The TV responds to the controller without delay, allowing you to enjoy the gameplay without unnecessary irritation. For recreational gaming after work – the result is quite acceptable.

We finally come to an area that can undoubtedly be described as the biggest Achilles' heel of the TCL P7K/P79K – its cooperation with a PC. This is paradoxical because on paper, everything looks promising. The presence of G-Sync and support for high refresh rates at lower resolutions might suggest that it would also be a great monitor. Unfortunately, practice brutally verifies these assumptions. The key issue is the lack of support for full 4:4:4 chroma sampling. In everyday use, this translates to terrible font rendering quality – they, especially colorful ones, become jagged, surrounded by artifacts, and simply hard to read. This is not the end, as in PC mode, a significant issue with aggressive dithering also becomes evident, giving the entire image an artificial, overly digital appearance. The only consolation in this situation is the fact that in games, we can take advantage of additional hertz and G-Sync technology, but these are not benefits that could compensate for the fundamental shortcomings in displaying a static interface. The verdict is therefore clear: while it can still hold up as a screen solely for gaming on PC, in the role of a monitor for work or internet browsing, the P7K/P79K simply performs poorly.

In terms of cooperation with a PC, we have another surprise in store. Theoretically, it is IPS matrices that, due to their pixel structure, should dominate in displaying static office content. Meanwhile, the QNED80A breaks the mold once again. During testing, we noticed strange behavior when displaying text. While classic, bold fonts are readable and look correct, the trouble begins with small, thin letters. They tend to "split" along the contours and cast a strange shadow. This causes fine text to become less clear, and prolonged reading can be tiring for the eyes. So, if you are looking for a TV that will mainly serve to display Excel tables or Word documents, this particular variant may disappoint you a bit.

When it comes to viewing angles, we enter a territory where VA matrix technology dictates inevitable conditions. As expected, this is the weak point of this model. It is enough to move away from the screen's axis to observe a gradual degradation of the image: colors begin to fade, contrast noticeably drops, and black loses its depth. In direct competition with IPS panels, which are renowned for their generosity in this aspect, the VA matrix must concede superiority to its competitor. Is there a plus side to this? Paradoxically, yes. Poor viewing angles are, in fact, the price we consciously pay for the fundamental advantage of this technology – a significantly higher native contrast and deeper blacks when viewed head-on. So, one could say that this is a television that favors the viewer sitting in the "ideal" spot, offering them a maximally vibrant image at the cost of universality.

Do you remember how we complained about the weaker contrast? Now it's time for a comeback. It is in terms of viewing angles that the IPS matrix shows its superiority and reason for existence. If you have a spacious living room and family members watch television from different spots – for example, from an armchair in the corner or over the dining table – this variant will be a home run. Unlike VA panels, here the image retains its properties even at a large angle. Colors remain vibrant and do not change hues when viewed from the side. This makes the QNED80A in this version a great choice for watching games with friends or cartoons with kids, where not everyone has the luxury of sitting perfectly in front of the screen.

The last practical test for any television is its daily performance in daylight conditions when it must compete with ambient light. In this competition, the TCL P7K / P79K has a slight advantage thanks to its satin screen coating. Its structure manages to quite effectively dampen direct reflections, dispersing them and protecting the image from excessive color fading or black brightness. However, passive combat with reflections is one side of the coin. The other is the active ability to "break through" bright surroundings, and here one of the key limitations of this model becomes apparent. The previously mentioned peak brightness of around 300 nits is simply too low to provide a fully comfortable and dynamic viewing experience in a brightly lit living room. In such conditions, the image may lack punch, and lower brightness scenes may lose clarity.

QNED80A is not a "light monster," so in full, direct sunlight, the image may appear a bit washed out. It is not equipment dedicated to combating sharp sunlight hitting directly on the screen. However, it has an ace up its sleeve that significantly improves user comfort: the panel coating. Instead of a cheap, glossy finish, LG has used a satin texture here. It works very effectively, "softening" reflections from the surroundings. So we don't see our perfect reflection in the screen like in a mirror, which can be incredibly irritating in darker scenes. So it might be insufficient for extremely bright rooms, but in standard, moderate home conditions, the QNED80A will perform perfectly.

Smart Features – the Power of Google TV

The heart and brain of the TCL P7K / P79K is the Google TV system, which in itself is a huge advantage. This platform provides access to an almost endless library of applications from the Play Store, ensuring that we won't be missing any key streaming service. Integration with other devices is exemplary – Apple device owners will appreciate the seamless cooperation via AirPlay, while Windows and Android users will easily take advantage of the screen mirroring feature. It is also worth highlighting the Google Assistant, which performs fantastically with voice searches in Polish, remaining one of the most effective and convenient solutions of its kind on the market. The operation of the system on the tested model can be described as "average plus." The interface is mostly smooth, but during testing, it experienced occasional slowdowns and even sporadic "freezes" requiring a moment of patience. Minor hiccups are also visible in the translation of some system messages, which can be awkward – however, these are just small oversights on TCL's part, not affecting overall functionality.

Classic Features

In the age of smart systems, traditional television functions often take a back seat, and this is also the case here. A significant advantage is the inclusion of a classic remote control with a numeric keypad, which does not require precise aiming at the screen for communication, greatly enhancing user comfort. The presence of Bluetooth technology for connecting external devices, like headphones or speakers, should also be noted positively. However, this is where the list of conveniences basically ends. It is evident that TCL has placed nearly everything on the Google TV card, treating classic functions as an absolute minimum. Therefore, we will not find the option to record programs from built-in tuners to a USB drive or the once-popular PiP (Picture-in-Picture) feature. This is therefore a basic package that simply works, but does not offer anything beyond what is necessary.

WebOS Platform and Support

One of the biggest advantages of the QNED80A model is its "brain," meaning the operating system. LG has implemented a full-fledged WebOS for the year 2025, which in terms of smoothness and usability is on par with more expensive models. Applications launch smoothly, and navigating the menu is a pure pleasure. All this is thanks to the unique remote control with a pointer function (cursor), which underwent a visual overhaul this year. The manufacturer opted for minimalism—the new "Magic" is significantly smaller and more ergonomic. It fits perfectly in hand, but this change also has a downside. The physical number pad has disappeared from the casing. For the younger generations, who are accustomed to streaming, this is not an issue, but older family members who are used to entering channel numbers from memory will have to change their habits.

Everyday Use and Add-ons

In terms of functions that we would call "classic," the QNED80A sticks to a proven standard. It is not a multimedia powerhouse that will surprise you with exotic features, but it performs flawlessly in everyday television craftsmanship. The operation of classic television, including Teletext, is correct and problem-free. Wireless communication also deserves praise—the Bluetooth module works reliably, allowing for quick connections to a game console controller or wireless speakers. This is a TV that simply "works"—steadily, predictably, and without unnecessary complications.

The built-in media player in the P7k/P79k model is at least a puzzling case, putting us in quite an unusual situation. On one hand, its engine handles decoding most popular video formats, which is obviously good news. On the other hand, we encountered a surprising and irritating issue – the default application has a fundamental problem displaying Polish diacritical characters in subtitle files correctly. Instead of letters like "ą", "ę", or "ż", empty squares or random, unreadable symbols appeared on the screen. Fortunately, thanks to the flexibility of the Google TV system, this problem can be easily circumvented. Installing an alternative, advanced player, such as the reliable VLC or KODI, completely resolves this inconvenience. The situation is peculiar because this flaw did not occur in other TCL models we tested previously. We are therefore dealing with a clear software oversight, which, hopefully, will be fixed in a future update.

Many of us still enjoy watching movies or photos from our own USB drives. Here, the QNED80A performs quite decently, supporting a wide range of video and audio codecs. Most movie libraries will start "right off the bat." However, it is important to remember the specifics of the WebOS system. Since it is a closed environment, we are stuck with what the manufacturer has prepared for us – there is no option to install alternative players (e.g., the popular VLC) if we encounter a read error. What kind of errors might we encounter? First and foremost, the lack of support for HEIC files. So, if you take pictures with your iPhone and want to display them on a large screen straight from the flash drive – the TV won't see them. It's worth changing the photo save format on your phone to JPG right away. We also noticed that the player has difficulties processing very large graphic files. Photos with resolutions around 20-28 Mpix might not load or could cause errors. Aside from these exceptions – the playback is trouble-free.

In terms of the built-in audio system, the TCL P7k/P79k presents a level that can be described as functional and correct, but lacking audiophile ambitions. The speakers play quite loudly, and dialogues in movies and TV shows are conveyed clearly and without distortion, which is crucial in everyday use. However, the soundstage definitely lacks a foundation in the form of low tones. This is a direct consequence of the absence of a dedicated subwoofer – an element that in the higher P8K series, with a large Onkyo subwoofer at the back of the cabinet, defined the strength of its sound. Here, that element is simply missing, making the sound seem flatter and lacking the depth that creates a cinematic atmosphere. We also noticed a peculiar feature in the software – when trying to set the maximum volume, the TV automatically reduces it. It's hard to conclusively determine whether this is a form of protection against distortion or a minor software bug; nonetheless, it's a pity, as the power reserves seem to be somewhat greater.

When it comes to sound, the QNED80A fits into the market standard for the mid-range. Here we have a classic 2.0 setup with a power of 20 watts. We won't hide it – you can't fool physics. The sound lacks low tones (bass) and that specific depth that builds the atmosphere in action movies or while listening to music. However, the TV has one significant advantage that users of traditional television, such as series and news programs, will appreciate. It's the reproduction of speech. Dialogues are surprisingly clear and natural. The sound is not "bass-heavy" or artificially boosted, which prevents ear fatigue and allows understanding every word of the narrator without the need to increase the volume.
