TCL 25G64

Name: TCL 25G64
Brand: TCL

24.5-inch Full HD monitor with 300 Hz, an IPS panel, Quantum Dot and Mini LED. A very capable option for those who want to keep gaming at 1080p with more brightness, color and contrast than usual.

PanelQD Mini LED IPS

IMartz verdict

Pros

Very wide color gamut for a 1080p gaming monitor.
Extremely high brightness for its class.
300 Hz with good performance and balanced overdrive.

Things to consider

Quite poor color uniformity.
The base takes up too much space for the panel size.
Few zones, and watch out for PWM flickering.

A good fit if…

Gamers who want to stay at 1080p and get a decent HDR experience for little money.
PCs that still perform very well at Full HD.
Users coming from an old TN or an aging curved VA.

Consider another option if…

You want to move to 1440p soon.
You need reliable color uniformity for professional work.
Blooming really bothers you or you are sensitive to flickering.

Test note

In DisplayHDR, LD Medium and High darken some shadows and midtones. The curve changes as the lit area grows, and highlights do not maintain a constant level in the full-screen test. They gain brightness over LD Standard, but not luminance accuracy.
