TCL R617 65" (65R617) vs LG UK7700 65" (65UK7700PUD)

Regarding the overall picture quality, the TCL R617 performs on par with the noticeably pricier high-end TVs. In its price range, the TV offers exceptional performance no matter if it is placed in a dark or bright environment.

It can reproduce a wide range of bright and vibrant colors as well as some truly inky blacks because of its wide color gamut, high color accuracy, excellent gamma tracking, high native contrast ratio, and stellar peak brightness.

Colors pop and look realistic thanks to the low average color error dE of 2.33, which is noticeably below the color error margin that can be spotted by a human eye. Also, colors don't look flat due to the TV's near perfect gamma tracking. The colors look very bright thanks to the TV's high overall peak brightness that is measured at more than 700 nits. No other TV in this price range can get that bright.

Dark scenes look profound thanks to the high native contrast ratio and excellent uniformity of its blacks. The TV's native contrast ratio is measured at around 6000:1, which is significantly above what its competitors offer.

Thanks to its low input lag and 4K 4:4:4 support, 65R617 is a good option for console gaming.

With this TV you will not have problems associated with reflections and glare even in fairly bright environments thanks to the TV's amazing brightness and semi-gloss screen finish that helps it to diffuse reflections fairly well.

The TV's peak brightness measures at around 700 nits, which is far above what the other TVs in this price range offer.

The LG UK7700 does an excellent job when it comes to upscaling the low-resolution content thanks to its good image processing capabilities. The TV can seamlessly upscale the 480p, 720p, and 1080p content to its native resolution of 4K.

The UK7700 is an excellent companion to any sports fan out there thanks to the TV's ability to display clear motion and the high overall uniformity.

Motion looks clear thanks to the TV's ability to change the colors of its pixels only within 12.8 ms. This eliminates the traces of motion blur, thus making the overall picture clear.

The large sports fields don't look washed-out thanks to the TV's high overall uniformity that measures at around 3.3% of the standard deviation - rarely high parameter for a TV in this price bracket.
