#1 TCL QM7L Pro
5.0

The in-store picture looks notably vibrant and colorful, an immediate part of its visual appeal.

Pros: picture quality, black levels

Cons: viewing angles, motion clarity

#2 TCL RM9L
4.8

The RGB backlight covers an exceptionally broad range of color, producing vivid reds, greens, and fine variations that standard televisions struggle to match.

Pros: picture quality, overall satisfaction

Cons: color crosstalk, value for money

#3 TCL QM9K
4.7

A wide HDR color range makes animation and brightly lit landscapes especially vivid, though the most extreme hues do not always match reference targets.

Pros: peak brightness, overall satisfaction

Cons: value for money, shadow detail

#4 TCL QM8L
4.7

Wide-gamut coverage approaches premium RGB LED and OLED competitors, with especially strong P3 performance. Claims of complete BT.2020 coverage were not consistently matched in measurements.

Pros: picture quality, value for money

Cons: stand quality, judder handling

Pros: peak brightness, blooming control

Cons: value for money, motion clarity

Pros: peak brightness, picture quality

Cons: HDMI 2.1 port count, reflection handling

#7 TCL QM7L
4.0

Measured BT.2020 results ranged from about 79% to nearly 98%, which most considered excellent for the class. One critic strongly objected to the gap between measured coverage and TCL's 100%...

Pros: peak brightness, picture quality

Cons: color accuracy, viewing angles

#8 TCL Q77K
3.1

Cartoons and everyday SDR scenes can look lively, but the limited HDR color range prevents deeply saturated highlights from looking rich.

Pros: picture quality, value for money

Cons: viewing angles, HDR performance

#9 TCL QM5K
3.0

Color coverage is serviceable rather than expansive, with saturated greens and reds showing limitations in demanding material.

Pros: black levels, picture quality

Cons: HDR performance, blooming control

#10 TCL M8LF
2.5

Limited wide-color coverage leaves some saturated reds and greens weak, with outdoor greenery looking noticeably dull.

Pros: value for money, overall satisfaction

Cons: HDR brightness
