4 Useful TCL TV Features You Need To Start Using
Key Points:
- TCL offers budget-friendly smart TVs with flagship features, and users can enhance their experience by adjusting various hidden settings for better picture quality and functionality.
- Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) syncs the TV's frame rate with gaming consoles to reduce screen tearing, but users may need to enable HDMI 2.1 enhanced mode to access this feature depending on their TV's OS and model.
- The Match Content Frame Rate feature helps align the TV's refresh rate with the frame rate of movies (often 24 fps) to reduce stuttering, though its effectiveness depends on the streaming device and service compatibility.
- TCL TVs support easy phone screen sharing via Apple AirPlay and Chromecast on Google TV or Android TV models, while Roku TCL TVs require different steps to connect mobile devices.
- Filmmaker Mode, which reduces the "soap opera effect" by displaying content as originally intended, was added to newer TCL TVs in 2025 and can be enabled manually or automatically through content recognition settings.
