SQD color is a major attraction, delivering exceptionally rich, bright hues without usually looking cartoonish. The expanded color remains vivid even as luminance climbs.
Pros: picture quality, value for money
Cons: stand quality, judder handling
Brilliant colors retain impressive intensity as brightness rises. Some white-adjacent colors and saturated scenes reveal the technology's limits.
Pros: picture quality, overall satisfaction
Cons: color crosstalk, value for money
Rich, highly saturated colors remain vibrant even in bright scenes. Some side-by-side comparisons find the palette a little less full or faithful than competing OLED sets.
Pros: peak brightness, overall satisfaction
Cons: value for money, shadow detail
Color remains rich and impactful even in very bright HDR scenes, a key advantage over ordinary Mini-LED sets.
Pros: peak brightness, blooming control
Cons: value for money, motion clarity
SQD color delivers strong saturation and separation without routinely looking overdone. A minority view found the improvement familiar rather than revolutionary and criticized the claimed advantage.
Pros: peak brightness, picture quality
Cons: color accuracy, viewing angles
Colors retain their visual strength in ambient light. Apparent advantages over neighboring TCL models partly come from a fleeting brightness boost rather than a lasting improvement.
Pros: picture quality, black levels
Cons: viewing angles, motion clarity
Bright reds, greens, and other saturated shades retain plenty of punch in HDR, though extremely pale scenes can lose a little saturation.
Pros: peak brightness, picture quality
Cons: HDMI 2.1 port count, reflection handling
Colors can look lively in everyday viewing, but bright saturated shades, especially HDR blues, lack intensity.
Pros: value for money, overall satisfaction
Cons: HDR brightness
Color has reasonable substance in darker scenes, yet strong reds, greens, and brighter saturated tones are not its specialty.
Pros: black levels, picture quality
Cons: HDR performance, blooming control
The Q77K struggles to maintain saturated HDR colors, particularly darker tones, despite acceptable color presentation in standard content.
Pros: picture quality, value for money
Cons: viewing angles, HDR performance
