My Favorite Amazon Deal of the Day: TCL Q65 QLED TV
TCL is an anti-OLED TV brand that focuses on making better QLEDs without going overboard with OLEDs, which are becoming much more expensive. The Q651G is the budget version of the QM7, which I reviewed hands-on . This more affordable model came out in 2024 and has many of the specs and features that make the QM7 one of the best value QLED TVs on the market. You can get the huge 98-inch version for $1,498 (originally $2,999.99) after 50% off, and the 65-inch version is also available for a good price at $399.99 (originally $549.99) in case you don’t have the wall space for a 98-inch TV.
What you give up over the QM7 is a lower refresh rate (60Hz) (unless you get a 98-inch screen with a 120Hz refresh rate), no local dimming, and no HDMI 2.1 bandwidth. These sacrifices can be useful if you don’t even know what they do. If you’re a gamer, know that you can still get 1440p resolution at 120Hz with VRR thanks to the Game Accelerator 120 feature that comes with your TV. You still get support for DTS audio, Dolby Atmos, HDR Pro+, and Dolby Vision, which are great features that not every TV in this price range offers.
The TV comes with the same Google OS, which I personally like – meaning you can cast to your phone using the Chromecast feature and use voice control, and the TV comes with a variety of streaming apps.
