This episode of You Asked explores common questions regarding Costco exclusive TVs, the value of 4K upscaling in disc players versus TVs, and the noticeable difference between 8K and 4K content.
You Asked: Costco TV Model Numbers , OLED Upgrades, 4K Upscaling, and 8K Content\On today's episode of You Asked, we tackle a few burning questions from our viewers. First, Joshua and Jim inquire about Costco 's exclusive 98-inch TCL Q672G, priced at around \$1500 with Costco 's extended warranty and a \$100 gift card. They wonder why the model number seems unique to Costco and if it's identical to the Q651G available at other retailers for the same price.
\The answer lies in Costco's immense buying power. Their business model revolves around moving large quantities of goods, enabling them to negotiate special deals with brands like TCL. Costco can leverage its commitment to bulk purchases to secure lower prices and exclusive model numbers, allowing them to offer unique bundles and warranties. These custom models, like the Q672G, don't necessarily sacrifice features but often come with added perks and Costco's competitive pricing. While the Q672G appears to be a 98-inch version of the Q651G, it's always a good idea to compare specs between models to ensure they align with your needs.\Next, Christian asks about the value of a dedicated 4K Blu-ray player with superior upscaling capabilities compared to using a higher-end TV like the LG C3. The LG C3 already boasts impressive upscaling, so Christian wonders if investing in a more expensive player is worthwhile. In most cases, the upscaler in a high-end TV surpasses that of a dedicated player, as TV manufacturers prioritize this feature for their latest models. Christian should consider factors like build quality, audio and video codec support, and specific functionalities like advanced DACs for audio when choosing a disc player. \Finally, Grayson inquires about the noticeable difference between 8K native content and 4K content on an 8K TV. While skepticism persists regarding the human eye's ability to discern the difference, Grayson seeks an expert opinion. The resolution benefits of 8K are most apparent when viewing from close distances on larger displays (55-65 inches). However, for most viewers, 8K content in TVs under 85 inches doesn't offer a significant visual improvement. Even on smaller screens, the higher pixel density of 8K might not be readily distinguishable unless you're sitting very close, like you would with a computer monitor. Remember, image quality is influenced by numerous factors beyond resolution, such as contrast, color accuracy, and motion handling.
