    Gentlemen, what exactly do you think about the TV TCL Xess X2 U55X9006 in the price of 5000 PLN as just a universal TV?
    Here is the hot test of this TV:
    http://www.hdtv.com.pl/forum/tcl/135063-tcl-5...zor-w-historii-tcla-jest-moc.html#post1413741
    At this price, it promises to be good, despite the 60 Hz matrix has a liquefier, a quantum dot, JBL speakers, aluminum housing and supposedly gives advice :) . Ask for opinions.

    But this is not just a test of tv photos while working. Nothing measured, no procedure. Just such a more advanced unboxing.
    On the other hand, it immediately strikes a terrible reproduction of colors, especially on those comparisons to OLED from two years ago ... what's going on in those pictures with disks and a car ??? And this is supposed to be a picture after calibration?

    Very weak input lag for the model for 2017.

    Let's wait 3-4 months, the price will drop to 4.2 k PLN and you will be able to think about it. Especially as normal tests will appear.
    We do not know anything yet.

    I wonder if the reduction of the matrix backlight by the manufacturer will result in better blackness? Is it feasible? In the photo with the flower you can see a dark blue color and bright light efflorescences in the bottom corners of the TV. Will reducing the backlight cancel it? This blackness resembles a grenade of IPS matrixes ...

    "The efflorescence of light" as you call it is the nature of the edge illumination. Such a charm of this technology.
    Decreasing the backlight will give a better black, but the details will disappear - the most in gray.

    I do not understand why the author of this test compares this TCL to OLED LG? - it does not make sense, because the LCD has no chance in such a comparison. And it can be seen in the pictures.

    I wonder if, for example, a Sony XE8505 should be placed next to this TCL, what would the duel be like and whether it would not be a better combination for TCL. Because it seems to me that, for example, this is competition for this TV.

    Price OLED LG 55EG910V which appears in the test also costs about 4.8k PLN.
    So priced similarly, qualitatively already LCD has nothing to look for ... if you compare the TCL with the LG model for 2017, or A7 would be even worse.

    Therefore, let's compare the comparison to Oledów, only take LCD with edge-to-edge, 4K and such sony xe8505 is comparable in my opinion. We're talking about amounts of up to PLN 5,000 to clarify. I could use some independent test. Have to wait.

    It's a 120Hz matrix model. In the liquidation category of 50 frames, or TV, he will eat this TCL for breakfast ;)
    This TCL has a high price for a 60Hz TV set. When a thousand people come down, it will be ok.
    Well, unless people go aa marketing QuantumDotem, HDRem etc and will be aware of a lot of money for 60Hz, cheap matrix.

    The same amount of money is Samsung 55MU7002 with 120Hz and VA.

    Mu7002 is probably the cheapest option today on the sensible 120Hz TV

FAQ

TL;DR: For TCL Xess X2 U55X9006 at 5,000 PLN, a price drop to ~4,200 PLN in 3–4 months was noted, and “We do not know anything yet.” [Elektroda, Ludwik XVI, post #16749217]

Why it matters: You’ll avoid overpaying and set realistic expectations about motion, black levels, and gaming before you buy.

Quick-Facts:

Quick Facts

Is the TCL Xess X2 U55X9006 worth 5,000 PLN right now?

It offers eye-catching features, but forum advice was to wait. Early notes cite weak input lag and the lack of proper measurements. A suggested target was ~4,200 PLN after 3–4 months. This helps value seekers and cautious buyers alike. [Elektroda, Ludwik XVI, post #16749217]

Does the U55X9006 use a 60 Hz or 120 Hz panel?

The discussed U55X9006 is a 60 Hz set. Motion smoothing is present, but it cannot replace native 120 Hz refresh for fast action. This matters for sports and gaming motion clarity. [Elektroda, olo_mistrzu, post #16749152]

What does edge-lit backlighting mean for picture quality?

Edge lighting can cause corner glow and visible blooming on dark scenes. Reducing the backlight improves black levels but can crush near‑gray details. This trade-off is inherent to the design, not a unit defect. [Elektroda, Ludwik XVI, post #16749385]

Can I fix the light bleed by lowering the backlight?

Lowering backlight will deepen blacks and reduce glow, but you risk losing shadow detail. Expect some compromise with edge-lit LCDs. It’s a balancing act rather than a full fix. [Elektroda, Ludwik XVI, post #16749385]

How does the TCL compare to Sony XE8505?

Sony XE8505 was highlighted as a 120 Hz model. For 50/60 fps content and TV motion handling, that higher refresh is a clear advantage over the TCL’s 60 Hz. “It will eat this TCL for breakfast.” [Elektroda, Ludwik XVI, post #16749488]

TCL X2 vs Samsung 55MU7002—what’s the difference?

Samsung 55MU7002 was cited as a same‑budget option with a 120 Hz VA panel. VA helps contrast, and 120 Hz boosts motion clarity. It’s a strong alternative if you prioritize picture over extras. [Elektroda, Ludwik XVI, post #16749488]

How does the TCL stack up against LG OLED 55EG910V around 4,800 PLN?

At similar pricing, forum opinions said LCD “has nothing to look for” against OLED image quality. If deep blacks and contrast are crucial, the OLED wins easily in dark rooms. [Elektroda, Ludwik XVI, post #16749442]

Is the TCL X2 good for gaming?

Early impressions called its input lag very weak for a 2017 set. Competitive players should consider faster options or confirm updated measurements before buying. Waiting for reliable tests was recommended. [Elektroda, Ludwik XVI, post #16749217]

What’s the best 65-inch value from this thread’s picks?

For 65-inch, the Samsung MU7002 was described as the cheapest sensible 120 Hz choice at the time. It suits buyers wanting smooth motion without OLED pricing. [Elektroda, Ludwik XVI, post #16803792]

How do I quickly tame blooming on edge-lit TVs?

Try this: 1. Lower the backlight a few steps. 2. Re-check shadow detail with a dark scene. 3. Adjust until blacks improve without crushing grays. Expect some residual glow. [Elektroda, Ludwik XVI, post #16749385]

Should I prioritize smart apps like Kodi or picture quality?

A seasoned rule shared was, “first picture, then additions.” You can always add a streaming box, but you can’t fix a weak panel later. [Elektroda, Ludwik XVI, post #16749512]

Does Quantum Dot guarantee better picture on this TCL?

Quantum Dot is a color enhancement layer, but panel speed and backlight design still define motion and contrast. Forum comments warned against paying a premium for buzzwords alone. [Elektroda, Ludwik XVI, post #16749488]

Are the early online tests of this TCL reliable?

One critique called them unstructured and like advanced unboxings. Color reproduction looked off, and the verdict was to wait for proper measurements. “We do not know anything yet.” [Elektroda, Ludwik XVI, post #16749217]

What’s the practical downside of lowering backlight too far?

You may hide mid‑tones and near‑black texture, reducing perceived detail in dark scenes. It can make movies look flat. Adjust gradually and re-check shadow patterns. [Elektroda, Ludwik XVI, post #16749385]
