Product Overview

TCL R745 is a high-end 4K TV in TCL's 2021 lineup. It is powered by a 10-bit panel and available in 85" size class.
A highlight of the TCL R745 is a high screen-to-body ratio up to 95.60%. Additionally, it supports full-array LED local-dimming. With mini-LEDs, full-array LED dimming helps the panel achieve higher contrast and dynamic range. It supports HDR formats including HDR10, Dolby Vision, and HLG (Hybrid Log Gamma). It covers 100% of DCI-P3 color space, which is excellent news for those who appreciate color accuracy.

    Reviewers from digitaltrends have found:
    All around, the 85R745's motion is very good. Most premium streaming apps like Netflix, Disney +, HBO Max, etc. look very clean. It's the more compressed stuff on YouTube that tend to look a little noisy at times. The real bonus is the price, as TCL provides pretty significant value.
    Pros
    • Excellent picture quality
    • Solid motion handling
    • Solid black levels
    Cons
    • No HDMI 2.1

    Reviewers from rtings have found:
    The TCL 85R745 is great for most uses. It has a VA panel that produces deep blacks, but its local dimming feature is mediocre and causes a ton of blooming. It's great for gaming, either in SDR or HDR, because it has a quick response time, low input lag, and variable refresh rate (VRR) support.
    Pros
    • Fantastic peak brightness
    • Excellent response time
    • High native contrast ratio
    • Low input lag
    Cons
    • Mediocre local dimming
    • Narrow viewing angles
    • Local dimming causes too much blooming
