Recommendations for a good 32 inch TV, that will also use as a monitor.
I'm looking for at least 1080, 32 inch, IPS, HDR. For under $200.
I just bought a TCL 32S350G. Even after messing around with picture modes and settings, picture still don't look good. Looks washed out. Even after I shut off all the processing crap. And was using movie mode.
Color temp is off. I put it on 0, it have a slight blue hue. I put it on -1, it have a slight yellow hue to it. Whites are not white.
Watching baseball just sucks. Looks like they they are hitting 3 or 4 pitches.
All content have judder or stutter. Don't really know the different between them.
On my older TCL, I had no problem with that. Except on Linus's video's. But all other video was fine.
Sitting in bed using it, I can see light bleed, and like the middle top 1/3, I can see a dark spot, I don't know what it's called.
I hook it up to my PC and do that ufo test. I put it on 1 ufo, it shows 3 of them.
TCL may make good TV's. But that may seem like only at the higher end. This panel just sucks.
I did get the color to as close as possible. I went and Googled my house and used Google maps and fix the color. I got it close. But then those blue recycling bins, was still too blue.
Watching YouTube reviews, they used hundreds of dollars worth of calibration tools to make it look good.
I was looking at Vizio and Hisense sub $200 TV's. Lots of reviews were good. But also lots of 1 star reviews talking about how bad the pictures and colors are.
My older TV was a 720 TCL, and the colors on there were good. It just looked washed out when you look at it from the sides. That was almost a 9 year old TV.
Seems like they just used better panels back then.
Should I up my budget to like $250-$300?
There's only a handful of TV's that I found that is 1080. There's a lot more 720. But I can see the difference between 720 and 1080.
It seems like all these stores put the display models in demo mode. It seems that they may be custom calibrated. So they look way different at home.
Also why is sub $200 monitors good, but no TV's? Hell, even $100 monitors are good.
