#1 TCL QM8L
5.0

Compression cleanup works well on older or lower-quality sources, reducing noise while preserving a natural film-like texture.

Pros: picture quality, value for money

Cons: stand quality, judder handling

#2 TCL X11L
4.0

Noise and compression artifacts can be smoothed effectively, at the cost of losing some legitimate texture when processing is too aggressive.

Pros: peak brightness, blooming control

Cons: value for money, motion clarity

#3 TCL M8LF
4.0

Compression blocking is reduced effectively, at the cost of a little texture detail.

Pros: value for money, overall satisfaction

Cons: HDR brightness

#4 TCL RM9L
4.0

Low-bitrate streaming artifacts are handled effectively, with a small sacrifice in fine texture at heavier smoothing levels.

Pros: picture quality, overall satisfaction

Cons: color crosstalk, value for money

#5 TCL 98QM8K
3.5

Noise reduction cleans low-bitrate streams effectively, at the expense of a little fine texture in the softest material.

Pros: peak brightness, picture quality

Cons: HDMI 2.1 port count, reflection handling

#6 TCL Q77K
3.5

Compressed videos receive useful smoothing, although finer details may look softened or waxy.

Pros: picture quality, value for money

Cons: viewing angles, HDR performance

#7 TCL QM9K
3.0

Low-quality signal cleanup is useful but not foolproof; aggressive AI clarity options can amplify flicker or create strange artifacts.

Pros: peak brightness, overall satisfaction

Cons: value for money, shadow detail

#8 TCL QM5K
2.8

Low-bitrate noise is reduced somewhat, at the cost of fine detail; heavily compressed video remains a compromise.

Pros: black levels, picture quality

Cons: HDR performance, blooming control
