Most important information about new TVs to me, besides what's typically listed (info about video rendering and screen quality), is the following:
1.
TV processor for apps (CPU maker and model), amount of RAM and Storage (flash). I buy huge TV to serve for much longer term than PC and expect premium CPUs for apps on Premium models, so the huge TV will deliver joy of many next Android versions and ability to run future apps that will for sure demand faster CPU, more RAM and storage.
We shall start buying TVs same as we buy laptops. Not only screen/video quality define if laptop is good for its price, but also CPU, RAM, storage are key components for longevity. Even more for TV, because they do not provide SO-DIMM or M.2 slots typical on laptops, so we cannot upgrade memory or storage later, extending the life of the device. Due to hiding of this information from TV reviews (=from customers), the disasters happen later - for example, Sony customers who just bought new AF8 or XF90 series TVs in 2019 then got info from Sony - just after 6 months - that Sony engineers failed to deliver Android 9 because CPU is so cheap and slow on 75" sized TV purchased for $4000!
Note for AV forums TV experts/reviewers: I suggest to start listing CPU, RAM, flash with each new TV model information to bring knowledge to the masses that will create an impact to manufacturer behavior, so they do not cut corners here and disasters like it happened for AF8 and XF90 users, were Android (or other OSes) upgrades are out of CPU/RAM for Premium TVs that are still sold in the shops, would not happen in the future!
2.
Screen glare - how well that is handled. I was at big surprise to find that XF90 had much better screen glare handling than XG95, where eyes constantly focus from picture to things in the room on darker scenes, if the room is not completely dark. I was no longer able to watch 85" XG95 after kids turned on Christmas tree lights because I sharply see my tree on XG95 screen instead of movie, while 75" XF90 glare was much more blurred and prevented eyes for refocusing from TV content to room mirror. Infinite contrast or wide viewing angles are of no practical use in normal living rooms and only make things worse if the screen is close to total mirror with sharp reflections. Unfortunately, I never seen any glare reduction quality measurements in numbers that would allow to compare glare elimination quality on different models.
3. I would be happy to get an info about
model options without DVB tuners, without CAM slots. Currently the content is either sourced from apps (Netflix, YouTube, Amazon, local content providers), or from STB via HDMI. DVB-T networks were shut down in my area and same is happening in others around. DVB-C networks are replaced by IPTV STBs or Apps. So instead of paying for DVB-T/C/S licenses and tuners, I would like to get faster CPU, more RAM and flash - or a bit better/bigger screen - due to savings on outdated tech parts that will never be used.
