I see they list the X800H models with the “4K HDR PROCESSOR X1” and the X750H models with the “4K PROCESSOR X1”. I never noticed that before, but I guess it means the X800H models processor can process HDR to improve it, theoretically anyway.
Here is a decent
comparison review of these two models. I think these guys tend to put too much emphasis on HDR brightness though in their reviews. They are obsessed with it.
The X800H has higher peak brightness of SDR and HDR, but I’m not sure if that will make a big difference. The X750H peak brightness is about the same as the TCL Class 5 series. But the X750H has a VA panel whereas the X800H has an IPS panel, making the 750 more contrasty and giving the 800 a wider viewing angle.
To be honest, I’ve spent a few weeks watching countless review videos until my head feels like it will explode. Most of the reviews I watched show tests that have little to no meaning to me. Most reviewers show their biases. My conclusion is that in my price range the TVs will do well with 4K and so-so with HDR. To get the great HDR models I would have to pay significantly more, probably twice as much or even more, which I can’t afford. I think the improvements over my 12 year old HDTV that I will see with most of the lower end models I looked at will still be very significant and blow me away.
