Dafuq are you on about, Sony's image processing and colour reproduction is one of if not the best in the entire display industry.

They were getting squeezed by Samsung and LG display for their OLED products so they just decided to engage in a joint venture with TCL that results in less costly manufacturing while leveraging the brand recognition and existing distribution channels. Basically TCL becomes an OEM. It's not ideal but if this was to be avoided, we should have detached from the US based order in the 80s when it became obvious the US doesn't like to compete and sniped the entire Japanese economy.

Sony's main tech was in manufacturing. TCL will be getting a HUGE upgrade.
