#1 TCL M8LF
5.0

Motion interpolation smooths lower-frame-rate footage impressively, even in complex scenes.

Pros: value for money, overall satisfaction

Cons: HDR brightness

#2 TCL QM7L Pro
5.0

Frame interpolation noticeably reduces stutter and can smooth gameplay without a major input-lag penalty.

Pros: picture quality, black levels

Cons: viewing angles, motion clarity

#3 TCL RM9L
4.3

Gentle smoothing improves camera pans, but stronger settings can make films look artificially processed.

Pros: picture quality, overall satisfaction

Cons: color crosstalk, value for money

#4 TCL 98QM8K
4.0

Motion smoothing can reduce judder with conservative settings, but high settings introduce artifacts and lost detail.

Pros: peak brightness, picture quality

Cons: HDMI 2.1 port count, reflection handling

#5 TCL QM8L
4.0

Low interpolation settings can smooth motion without immediately creating a soap-opera effect. Pushing the controls higher introduces more artificial-looking movement and artifacts.

Pros: picture quality, value for money

Cons: stand quality, judder handling

#6 TCL QM9K
3.9

Motion interpolation can tame judder and stutter without necessarily adding much lag, but settings require adjustment and results can be inconsistent.

Pros: peak brightness, overall satisfaction

Cons: value for money, shadow detail

#7 TCL Q77K
3.8

Interpolation can smooth camera pans effectively, but some find motion processing artificial or blurry and prefer it off.

Pros: picture quality, value for money

Cons: viewing angles, HDR performance

#8 TCL QM7L
3.6

Low settings can smooth film without an obvious soap-opera look, but stronger processing introduces artifacts, excessive smoothness, or a darker image.

Pros: peak brightness, picture quality

Cons: color accuracy, viewing angles

#9 TCL X11L
2.7

Motion smoothing can tame slow pans and judder, but stronger settings may add artifacts or an unnatural soap-opera look.

Pros: peak brightness, blooming control

Cons: value for money, motion clarity

#10 TCL QM5K
2.5

Adjustable smoothing can make some 24fps material look fluid, but consistency is poor and certain settings create obvious jerks.

Pros: black levels, picture quality

Cons: HDR performance, blooming control
