During benchmark tests, images and clips appeared lifeless with poor contrast, particularly a smoky morning scene with horses that looked washed out compared to the Frame Pro.

From the moment I completed Google TV setup and started watching the TCL X11L I was amazed. I could immediately tell it's the brightest TV I've had in my home, but it was the color vibrancy that I found most impressive. The colors we're all most familiar with - skin tones, the sky, green grass and trees - all look as close to realistic as I've seen on a TV.

Traits I look for in a large TV include good brightness and contrast, advanced local dimming (read: good backlighting) to reduce light bleed from bright objects on dark backgrounds, accuracy to the director's intent, and impressive color saturation, especially for HDR (High Dynamic Range) content.

The flagship LG evo G6 series ranges in price from $2,499 to $24,999. (Cue spit take.) Fortunately, that five-figure price only applies to the 97-inch model, which nobody this side of Elon Musk needs. The entry-level price is for a 55-inch OLED. Moving up the ladder, the 65-inch one costs $3,399, the 77-inch model is $4,499 and an 83-incher will set you back $6,499.

TCL is known for its budget TVs, but in recent years, it has delivered some jaw-dropping models and consistently rolled out excellent hardware that often rivals far more expensive sets. My issue, however, is that most TCL TVs ship with default settings that do not give you the best picture, performance, or privacy protections at home. Luckily, the fix is simple.

TVs are no longer just displays that you connect to a cable box or streaming device to make them smarter. Also: Got a TCL TV? Change these 16 settings ASAP - here's why They're full-fledged computers now, complete with operating systems, app stores, background services, and internet connections. As a result, they come with a ton of hidden settings, permissions, and features that most people never know about or use.

Its AI Picture Pro feature further enhances image quality by adjusting brightness, resolution, clarity, and other settings based on what you're watching. Plus, LG offers Dolby Atmos support for sound that feels more immersive, while offering easy access to popular streaming apps like Netflix, Max, Disney Plus, Hulu, and Apple TV Plus right out of the box. On the gaming side, the TV includes four HDMI 2.1 ports and support for AMD FreeSync Premium and Nvidia G-Sync.

The Mini LED panel itself got an upgrade with 6,000 precision dimming zones for enhanced contrast that rivals OLED TVs, a peak brightness of 6,500 nits for better visibility in bright rooms and direct sunlight, an anti-glare matte screen to reduce the "halo" effect you sometimes see with LED backlighting, and improved LED technology for better color accuracy. A 7,000:1 contrast ratio means you'll get crisp details in dark scenes and inky blacks that make colors pop.
