The test TCL 75R617 vs TCL 75S425 was initiated to compare two TCL’s 4K/UHD models with the same screen size, number of connections, and supported audio formats. Both TVs aren’t Bluetooth capable, but the TCL 75R617, somehow, is much more expensive.
If comparing the TCL 75S425 vs 75R617 from the standpoint of their picture, both of them have great contrasts, but the latter features better black levels due to the local dimming. That’s why the 75R617 is good for watching it in a dark room.
The TCL 75S425 can boast high brightness in HDR and has no reflections in a well-lit room. However, one should sit straight opposite the TV for getting a high-quality picture because of the unit’s poor viewing angles.
In general, both models feature an average color scheme and accurate colors. They have a decent gray uniformity but can vary from unit to unit.
The TCL 75R617 comes with a smart remote with a mic for voice search built straight into it versus the TCL 75S425’s usual remote. The TCL 75R617 is also easy calibrated via the TCL’s dedicated app. It has no motion blur and features good response time that makes this model suitable for watching actions and other videos with plenty of rapid movements.
The TCL 75S425’s response time is also great but a little motion blur is noticeable when watching fast-moving content. Both devices please with low input lags to enjoy gaming.
Either the TCL 75S425 or the TCL 75R617 features clear and detailed dialogs loud sound, but only the latter has loud sound that doesn’t require speakers.
Both models are based on the Roku TV Smart OS that is remarkable for smooth and flawless interface with tons of free apps.
When looking at the TCL 75S425 vs TCL 75R617, no essential differences are noticeable since both models are flat, and come with a very wide stand that requires a large table. However, on closer examination, it’s seen that the 75R617’s stand is metal versus 75S425’s plastic one. The TCL 75R617 is a bit thick that makes it stick out when mounting it on the wall.
