About the project
Why TVRecs exists
TV opinions are scattered across Reddit, YouTube and forums, and lab reviews rarely say how a set holds up in a real living room after a year. TVRecs puts owners’ experiences in one place and lets owners add their own.
A TV that suits one room won’t suit every room. Knowing whether someone watches in a bright or dark room, which size they bought and what they had before often tells you more than a measurement on its own.
Owners, not promotions
No sponsored rankings. No paid placements. Rankings are counted from reviews: the ones owners write here and the ones quoted from around the web. Each is read as positive, mixed or negative. TV pages link to Amazon, and TVRecs may earn a commission when you buy through those links; that never changes a ranking.
One page per model and year
TVs are replaced every year under almost the same name. Each model year has its own page (LG C4 and C5, Samsung S90D and S90F, Sony Bravia 8 and Bravia 8 II), and all screen sizes of one model share a page.
A work in progress
TVRecs is new. Submissions are moderated before publication, web reviews link to their sources, and specifications come from the makers’ own pages.
Adding your experience
You don’t need an account. Reviews are held for moderation before appearing publicly. Write about TVs you’ve actually owned and be specific about what worked for you.
Your privacy
An alias is optional. If you leave an email address, it is stored privately with your submission and never included in public reviews. Leave it blank if you prefer.
The signal score
Every TV with at least 5 reviews gets a signal score out of 100. Negative and mixed reviews take points off, and with only a few reviews the score stays modest until more people weigh in, so a handful of glowing reviews can't beat a product many people like. Rankings follow it, and it moves as new reviews come in.
