"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."
"Most smart TVs now include multiple picture modes, including TCL models, which often default to Standard, Vivid, or Sports. These modes use overly cool colors, excessive brightness, and artificial contrast. They are meant to stand out on showroom floors, but at home, the effect is often too aggressive. Instead, you will want to use Movie or Filmmaker mode, which is tuned for accuracy."
"These modes use a warmer color temperature, more realistic contrast, and less processing overall. Filmmaker mode goes a step further by automatically disabling motion smoothing and using stricter standards for frame rate, color, and aspect ratio so content is displayed as the director intended. When you switch to either mode, the image may look yellow or warm at first, but that is normal."
TCL TVs frequently ship with default picture modes like Standard, Vivid, or Sports that use overly cool colors, excessive brightness, and artificial contrast intended for showroom impact. Movie or Filmmaker modes use warmer color temperature, more realistic contrast, and reduced processing for accurate reproduction; Filmmaker mode additionally disables motion smoothing and enforces frame rate, color, and aspect-ratio standards. TCL sets include over a dozen controls for motion, color, brightness, and data collection that allow fine-tuning of image and privacy. Simple adjustments to picture mode and related settings can significantly improve perceived image quality, viewing comfort, and reduce unnecessary telemetry.
