Lights pop a bit, but when the light sources are extremely small, they don't pop as much, and there's some black crush. Due to the blooming, if there are light sources near people's faces, it causes bright spots near or on faces. This TV uses Mini LED backlighting, with about 220 local dimming zones, and there's visible blooming around bright objects. The TCL 55R635 has a mediocre full-array local dimming feature. Update : Uploaded the real content local dimming videos. Unfortunately, it's still aggressively crushing blacks in HDR and SDR. Update : We rechecked the TV on the latest firmware, 10.0.0 Build 4209, to see if it was still crushing blacks. We remeasured the pre-calibration in a few different picture modes. Retested HDR peak brightness and reshot local dimming video. Uploaded the real content local dimming videos. We rechecked the local dimming feature on the latest firmware to see if it's still crushing blacks. We uploaded the initial brightness measurements and uniformity photos for the Accelerated Longevity Test. We bought and tested the TCL 6 Series/R655 2022 QLED, and added a few relevant comparisons to this review. We uploaded the brightness measurements and uniformity photos after running the TV for two months in our Accelerated Longevity Test. It shouldn't be confused with the TCL 6 Series 2019 R625 they aren't the same model.We uploaded the brightness measurements and uniformity photos after running the TV for four months in our Accelerated Longevity Test. Some retailers incorrectly indicate that the 75" model is a 2019 model. Note that some initial reports indicated that it had a 120Hz panel, but we've received confirmation from multiple owners that this isn't the case. It has more local dimming zones, but we expect it to perform about the same. In Europe, the TCL models are completely different and do not directly correspond with the U.S. Warehouse outlets will sell the R613, which is identical to the R617 including the voice remote, but still doesn't include the private listening feature of the P607.
The variant found at Bestbuy (55R615) is the same TV, but it has a simpler IR remote that requires line-of-sight and doesn't have the voice control feature. If someone comes across a different type of panel or if their TCL R617 doesn't correspond to our review, let us know and we will update the review. While we expect our results to be representative of most people's experience, results may vary. We have received wide reports of issues with gray uniformity. For the most part, we expect our review to be valid for the 65" version (65R617) as well.
