Re: TCL's iFFALCON K2A 55 inch TV
Hi Dilip... thanks for your reply to my PM... as you asked for what specific things I want to know about, I am sharing the list here in the thread so that others can also benefit from it.
I am mainly interested in the picture quality as that is the most important part of any TV and we can always use other players for added features (I am going to use it with an HTPC).
Some points to consider in your review to see whether it has any of these benefits:
• good upscaling for lower than full HD content (including SD TV set-top box)
• good enough black levels (the black bars on top and bottom should not look grey; compare with a black object such as a mobile phone)
• minimum backlight bleeding from the edges (can test when running a full black photo file on it)
• low stutter (see CNBC channel's stock ticker and whether it is rolling smoothly or not; Sony handles this well in their high refresh rate TVs; cannot compare as this is 60hz, but see how bad is it here)
• high reflection (higher the reflection, the better... all high end OLED TV's have almost 100% reflection like a mirror as that makes the colours pop; but matte coating makes it dull and grainy; this is very important for me; I control the lights in the room to avoid glare)

(zoom out to see the whole picture... see how you can see the lamp clearly in the reflection)
Based on the reviews I have seen, this TV is considered much better than Mi TV 4 or 4 Pro.
If you can share your own experience here, it would be helpful to those who are considering making a purchase in the upcoming Flipkart sale.
