I have a lot of TV'S that run the full spectrum price wise. I recently am dealing with a housing change (divorce, ugh) and needed to get something quickly that I would like, but wouldn't kill me financially as my cash flow is locked down. For reference, at my original house, I have an 65" LG G2, a 55" 2022 Sony Experia, and two 43" Amazon Fire TV'S for bedrooms that are not the Omni versions.
I was very impressed with the 43" base Fire TV. It had a solid albeit a bit dim picture, a fast responsive menu, and just generally was a good set for $300. I bought another, which is the ultimate sign if confidence. Two years later, they are still charging on. So, when I hit this current crummy reboot, I immediately looked at these again, but immediately moved on to the Omni option. I really needed a big TV. The LG C2 was what I really wanted, but the almost $3000 price tag was just beyond what I could do right now. Given all of this, I swallowed my TV snobbery, and ordered up the 75" Omni which I believe is manufactured by TVL for Amazon. Here are my thoughts.
First off, what matters most is the picture. It is shockingly good. Mini LED tech is not generally as good as OLED. However, this picture really works. It is reasonably bright and the HDR content shines on Netflix and other high quality streams. This is a 60hz panel, so I do miss the faster processing on my higher end TV'S, but it is surprisingly close. The blacks here also surprised me. This TV can get really dark. Is it LG OLED good? No. Is it way better than one third of the price good? Heck yes! Most average eyes, will be really happy with the picture here.
In terms of menu and interface, Gire TV'S are better than many including LG. I know, blasphemy! Try an LG and you will know what I mean. Their screens are absolutely the best, but the menus are a mess. At least for me. This TV automatically recognizes when I turn on the PS5 amd everything you need is right there. I don't notice the bloatware others have had issue with. I live in the Amazon ecosystem though so keep that in mind.
In terms of gaming, this is where you will likely feel the difference. The picture looks amazing but when a game really gets going, on the PS5, you will notice some speed issues. However, it is very marginal. I think it really works just fine for the average gamer.
So, what are you missing? First is the aforementioned screen speed. 60hz isn't fast enough. You get a really good HDR format though, and gaming images are very detailed and high end. You don't get Dolby Atmos but sound is OK. I really recommend a sound bar. I bought a 7.1 Vizeo with Atmos and the content sounds amazing via the HDMI Arc connection. The picture still isn't that bright. It is way better than the base Fire TV'S but it isn't amazing. There just isn't that much missing for me at this price.
The bottom line is this: This is a tremendous value for the money. I can nitpick some things, but a 75" TV makes a big statement in most rooms and this one doesn't disappoint. Are there way better TV's out there? Oh, yes. Are ther better values? Not that I have seen. Buy with confidence.
