Special viewing mode: HDR+
Can someone explain this?
Is this the HDR mode, or is it an artificial HDR processing? In other words, should this be turned on to view HDR content? Or will HDR content be displayed automatically based on the source being HDR.

Comparison with this, Samsung frame, and the Hisense competitor all at once would be great too. Particularly interested in which is best for gaming. Wife really wants a TV like this but I’m skeptical.

Agree! Also think it’d be good to get a comparison on their canvas/art modes because that is what these TVs were truly “designed” for. How does the art mode perform/compare vs regular tv watching vs gaming? This TCL is unique bc it’s direct lit vs edge lit.

The 65" Samsung Frame is outside of the 65" Hisense and 65" TCL price range, but it would be great to include comparisons against both. Personally, I’m making a decision between the TCL and Hisense based on sound quality due to lack of space in an 8'x13’ room (no space or budget for a sound system).
This product has been merged with TCL 55-Inch Class QLED 4K Smart NXTFRAME TV with. Follow the discussion here.

Excited to see the results of this testing. The TV was on sale for prime day and I guess we missed that window, but please get the review done before black friday comes in November! Best wishes and good luck!

Head to head to Samsung frame.
And with the HiSense CanvasTV https://www.rtings.com/tv/reviews/hisense/canvastv-qled-2024

I eagerly await the TCL NXTFRAME review as the competition is not of acceptable quality.
The HiSense CanvasTV has such terrible calibration that it’d be strange to recommend it: https://www.rtings.com/tv/reviews/hisense/canvastv-qled-2024
“This TV’s pre-calibration accuracy is terrible. It’s way too cold even on its warmest setting, and blues are extremely overrepresented in almost all shades of gray (…)”
This has got to pose some sort of risk to eye health. And it means what they write on their website must be wrong: “all of our TV’s are low blue light certified so will be kinder on your eyes”- https://uk.hisense.com/blog/which-hisense-tv-is-perfect-for-binge-watching-and-why
At least it doesn’t flicker like hell, which Samsung The Frame does (despite strangely getting a 9.9 rating for this from RTINGS, only one mode works properly): “It flickers at a very fast 960Hz in the ‘Movie’ Picture Mode, butall other picture modes, including Game Mode, flicker at a much slower 120Hz, which can cause image duplications or headaches if you’re sensitive to flicker. With ‘LED Clear Motion’ enabled, the TV only flickers at 60Hz.” I mean Game Mode is pretty much essential on that TV to get acceptable input lag: 1080p @ 60Hz: 10.5 ms 1080p @ 60Hz Outside Game Mode: 95.8 ms So then the TV flickers. With a TV that flickers at 120 Hz almost everyone is bound to get headaches when playing video games on that thing.

This has been showing as unpacking since 9/25. Unsure if they’ve even begun testing yet. Hopefully we can get a review by end of October.
Our testers have started testing this product; is there anything specific you’re looking to see? Let us know in this thread.

This timeline blows my mind. Glad it took 3 weeks to unbox

The timeline is normal as we receive new TVs faster than we can test them. We’re getting through our backlog now but we have limited testing resources.
Maybe best to change the wording from “Unpacking” to just “Product received” or something. What OP means is that it’s strange to write that one spends 3 weeks on ‘unboxing’.

Thank you for your feedback, the wording can be improved and we’ll consider better options to provide more clarity on our internal testing processes.

TCL now appears to be referring to this TV as the “TCL NXTVISION.” it appears to be the same TV, at least on paper, since the model number [xxA300W] is unchanged.
it’s kind of funny because i noticed when i was pasting the URL for the hyperlink, it still says “nxtframe-tvs.”

We’ve reached out to TCL for comment. We’re going to leave the existing name in place for now but will revisit depending on what TCL says.
Update: We converted the review to Test Bench 2.0. With this new methodology, we’ve added new tests to expand the scope of our testing, adjusted our scoring to better align with current market conditions, and added performance usages that group related tests together to give more insight into specific aspects of a TV’s performance. You can find a full list of changes in the TV 2.0 changelog.
Update: We renamed this TV from the TCL NXTFRAME to the TCL NXTVISION, as TCL renamed the lineup.
