TCL 85P725
The TCL 85P8M and TCL 85P725 are both large 85-inch 4K Android TVs designed for immersive home entertainment, but they target slightly different users. While both offer 4K resolution, HDR support, voice control, and popular streaming apps, the 85P725 brings several premium upgrades. It features a faster 100Hz motion rate, Dolby Vision, Dolby Atmos, higher brightness, stronger contrast, HDMI 2.1 support, VRR, and ALLM for smoother gaming and better picture quality. The 85P8M remains a solid choice for everyday viewing, but the 85P725 delivers a more complete flagship-level experience for movies, sports, and gaming.
Verdict
The TCL 85P725 is the stronger overall television thanks to its 100Hz motion handling, Dolby Vision, Dolby Atmos, HDMI 2.1 connectivity, gaming features, and higher brightness levels. It is better suited for users who want a premium home theater or gaming setup. The TCL 85P8M still offers good value with HDR10+, Android TV, and a large-screen experience, making it a suitable option for casual viewing if priced significantly lower.
