Filmmaker mode was prioritized for its generally superior color accuracy.
The LG C6 stood out for its Standard Dynamic Range performance, achieving the most accurate color with a Delta E 2000 (dE2000) score of 1.84. This metric indicates how well the TV reproduces traditional video formats.
For High Dynamic Range (HDR) content, which offers expanded contrast and color, the Hisense U8 was crowned the winner. It recorded the most accurate color reproduction with a Delta E ITP (dEITP) score of 7.73.
The TCL QM8L received an honorable mention, securing the third-best score in SDR mode and the second-best in HDR. While some models like the Hisense U7 and Sunbrite Veranda had lower scores in Filmmaker mode, they performed better in standard modes, highlighting varied performance across different picture settings.
