![]() Viewers very averse to blur might want to leave it on, however.Ĭompared to last year the 2020 6-Series added a couple milliseconds of gaming input lag, clocking in at around 18/19ms for both 1080p and 4K HDR in game mode. I preferred to leave AC on High and turn LED Motion Clarity off because the latter dims the image slightly and introduced some flicker. Turning LED Motion Clarity off reduces resolution out at 600 lines. When I toggled LED Motion Clarity on, engaging black frame insertion, and cranked Action Clarity to High, I measured a healthy 1,080 lines of resolution - very good, albeit not as good as the Sony or some other 120Hz TVs I've tested. The good news is that achieving maximum motion resolution doesn't require SOE. Those other settings, "Action Clarity" and "LED Motion Clarity," affect motion resolution and interact with one another. In Off the TV delivers correct 1080p/24 film cadence but in the other settings, Low and higher, it causes the TV to have the buttery smoothness of the soap opera effect. The most obvious is Action Smoothing which has four settings. Video processing: The 6-Series is a 120Hz native TV with plenty of options for handling motion. In general the difference was minimal, however, and in other scenes it was much less visible. It did appear slightly less saturated than the other three at times, for example, in the faces of the soldiers or the reddish glow of the firelight. Watching 1917, for the most part I'd call its color excellent as well, as indicated by the numbers. Overall its bright-room image is just as impressive for the price as its home theater picture.Ĭolor accuracy: According to my measurements the TCL 635's color was excellent before calibration in Movie mode and even better afterward. Under bright lighting the 2020 6-Series' TCL's screen performed a bit better than last year's model, as well as the Sony, at mitigating reflections and preserving black levels and contrast. Just switch the mode to "Movie" or "Dark HDR" mode, which reduces light output but delivers a much better image. An accurate bright-room picture is laudably easy to achieve, however. The TCL's brightest settings, "TV Brightness: brighter" and "Picture mode: Vivid," (or "Bright HDR" for HDR content) are terribly inaccurate. Brighter TVs like the 8-Series and the Vizio PX cost a lot more - as do numerous dimmer examples like the Sony X900H. The 635 did show blooming more with brighter content, however, including HDR (see below).īright lighting: The TCL 6-Series is the brightest TV I've ever measured at this price. In content prone to blooming, for example when I brought up the playback controls during a black screen, the TCLs all did a better job controlling the stray illumination than the Sony, which lit up larger portions of the image. ![]() Compared to the 625 from 2019 its black levels were very slightly worse but shadow detail was significantly better, and all three TCLs maintained black levels better than the Sony. Meanwhile the 635 and the 8-Series were closest of all, with the only real difference being slightly better shadow detail on the 8-Series.ĭuring the extremely dark assault on Hogwarts from Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, the 635 again looked best aside from the 8-Series. Watching 1917 on Blu-ray, for example, after the soldier awakens in chapter 13 (1:06:38), the 635's letterbox bars and shadows looked truer and more inky than the Sony's, while I could discern more of the folds of his uniform and walls in the background than on the 625.
