Hi everyone!

Quick question on peoples thoughts on the Q7 vs the C815. I've had a quick look through them and it appears they share similar specs except that:

Q7:
- FALD
- appears to have greater peak brightness.

C815
- Has onkyo sound bar
- Android TV (q7 uses VIDAA 4)

I do like how the C815 has a soundbar and android TV built in, but those can be bought separately so would rather focus on TV picture quality (which can't really be upgraded easily). I have access to TGGC.

Does anyone have any opinion/thoughts between the two? Or other TVs I should be looking at in this price range? I went and looked at them on the weekend, but it is hard to ascertain given that they were quite far apart and playing different content.

Bonus note - the Q8 also seems a step above, but budget looking around $1300-$1500 (C815 only slips in because it has the sound bar integrated).

  +1

  I'm also in the same boat as you, looking to upgrade shortly and both of these are currently on my "watch list"

  Although I haven't purchased yet (waiting to see if prices drop when 2021 models release), I think that FALD and brightness > OS and soundbar.

  Vidaa 4 from what I've heard isn't nearly as bad as previous versions, and Chromecast with Google TV is always an option.

    From what I heard 2021 models are going to be released April? I read the same as what you said that FALD + brightness > OS and soundbar especially since you can always buy those yourself. I just wonder if the difference in quality is really that big between the two TV's.

  From what I've read, the Q8 is miles better than the Q7.
