TCL 65C745
The Sony KD-65X85L and TCL 65C745 are both 65-inch 4K Google TV models, but they target different buyers. Sony focuses on picture accuracy, processing quality, and overall premium viewing experience with its 4K HDR Processor X1, Full Array LED backlight, and strong motion handling. TCL takes a more aggressive approach with QLED technology, higher brightness, a 144Hz VRR gaming capability, and stronger built-in audio. For gamers and value-conscious buyers, TCL offers impressive specifications, while Sony appeals to users who prioritize image refinement, brand reputation, and cinematic performance.
Verdict
The TCL 65C745 is the stronger overall value thanks to its QLED panel, higher brightness, 144Hz VRR support, FreeSync Premium Pro, better audio output, and more gaming-focused features. It delivers excellent performance for gaming, sports, and HDR content at a competitive price.
The Sony KD-65X85L remains an excellent choice for users who prefer Sony's superior image processing, motion clarity, and color accuracy. For most buyers, however, the TCL 65C745 offers more features for the money.
