The lab in our Cambridge location is outfitted with much of the same equipment you'd find at a factory that manufactures and calibrates television. It'd be an understatement to say that we're serious about TV testing. We measure things like peak brightness, black level, hue, and so on. In terms of pure performance, the 2019 TCL 8-Series is a better all-around TV, but it's far pricier and lacks the gaming-centric features offered by the 6-Series.

Its software is sleek, easy to use, and offers access to a vast library of apps. Gamers will be thrilled with the 6-Series’ native 120Hz refresh rate (up to 1440p at 120Hz) as well as the addition of something called THX Certified Game Mode, a suite of enhancements that includes VRR (Variable Refresh Rate) support and ALLM (Auto Low Latency Mode) to adjust to the different frame rate of gaming content.Īnd of course, the TCL 6-Series comes equipped with our favorite streaming platform right out of the box. The inclusion of quantum dots also makes for rich, well-saturated colors, particularly during HDR content. This makes the 6-Series a fantastic option for folks whose living rooms receive a fair amount of ambient light. In our lab, we consistently clocked the 6-Series at around 800-900 nits of brightness while receiving an HDR signal. The TCL 6-Series produces a bright, colorful 4K picture for both SDR and HDR content, thanks in part to the TV’s quantum dots. All told, the 6-Series performs better than just about every TV in its price range, making it a great pick for folks looking to maximize their dollar. The 2020 TCL 6-Series (available in 55-, 65-, and 75-inch variants) is one of the most value-packed TVs of the year, thanks to a robust offering of features and a picture that punches well above its weight. Our favorite Roku TV right now isn’t the best-performing Roku TV money can buy, but it nevertheless looks fantastic and is offered at an enticingly low price.
