The company’s onboard AiPQ engine does relatively well at upscaling standard HD images to 4K, though it can struggle with motion in video games and films when you have motion smoothing enabled. Your mileage may vary, but I recommend messing around until you find a look you like. It’s subjective, but I liked the picture best when I switched the TV to Normal mode and then set the color palette to Warm, which made things a lot less blue. I recommend turning off all motion smoothing and turning on game mode if you're plugging in a video game console. To do this, you’ll need to watch a piece of content, and hit the '*' Settings button on the remote to adjust your picture. One thing that’s a bit less intuitive is finding the actual video settings for the TV. You tell Roku what you’re plugging in through a menu (game system, soundbar, Blu-ray player, etc.) and it will always show up on the home screen correctly labeled. I also like how simple it is to plug devices into the 4 HDMI ports (one eARC port for soundbars, three other standard HDMI 2.0b ports) with Roku's interface. The included Roku remote (a cute little wand) also works for voice search, which makes finding your favorite shows easier. Even if you choose another TV, we suggest you buy a Roku stick for it. I’ve encountered wonky apps on individual TV brands’ operating systems, but the Roku ecosystem has so many users outside of TCL that Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, and Hulu have clearly given it a high priority. Not only is the 6-Series’ onboard Roku OS much easier to navigate than other smart TV interfaces, it also gets some of the best support from developers.
