#1 TCL QM8L
4.8

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

#2 TCL RM9L
4.8

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

#3 TCL QM9K
4.6

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

#4 TCL X11L
4.4

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

#5 TCL QM7L
4.1

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

#6 TCL QM7L Pro
4.0

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

#7 TCL 98QM8K
3.9

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

#8 TCL M8LF
3.3

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

#9 TCL QM5K
3.2

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

#10 TCL Q77K
2.0

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
