Our Verdict
TCL P Series/P607 2017
TCL C Series/C807 2017
The TCL P607 is much better than the TCL C807. The P607 has a full array local dimming feature that improves dark room performance and helps small highlights in some scenes in HDR to pop out better. The P607 also has a faster response time, so motion looks better with less blur trail.
