    Reviewers from digitaltrends have found the following***:
    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.

    Reviewers from rtings have found the following***:
    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.

    • Excellent response time
    • High native contrast ratio
    • Low input lag
    Cons
    • Mediocre local dimming
    • Narrow viewing angles
    • Local dimming causes too much blooming
