It’s impressive how far TCL has come in developing QLED technology. The QM7K is its latest mid-range smart TV with QD-Mini LED and offers excellent value. The 65-inch QM7K is currently 41% off, reaching $877.99 (originally $1,499.99), making it the second-lowest price ever, according to price tracking tools . The more affordable 85-inch QM6K is currently 37% off.
The QM7K is superior to the QM6K in every way, except for color accuracy. It has better contrast, brightness, gaming performance, black levels, performance, and other features, but the QM6K is still an excellent option for those on a budget.
I personally tested the QM7 , a slightly older model of this TV, as well as the more affordable QM6K, and I can say that TCL doesn’t skimp on these TVs. They look and feel truly premium. This QM7K is no exception. Its highlight is its bright panel, making it great for sun-drenched rooms. It delivers deep blacks and has virtually no light halos, giving it excellent picture quality. Gamers will appreciate the native 144Hz refresh rate and the 288Hz-capable panel with VRR and AMD FreeSync Premium Pro, making it a seamless experience. Since this is a Google TV, it has hands-free Google Assistant and Google Cast, making it easy to stream almost anything from your phone or computer. The same can be done for iPhones using AirPlay.
If you’re a color-conscious person, according to PCMag’s “excellent” review , you might notice that colors appear a bit warmer out of the box, but this can be easily corrected in the picture settings. If you want a big, bright, and colorful smart TV with a wow factor, get the 65-inch QM7K , and if brightness isn’t as important to you, consider the 85-inch QM6K . Both options are excellent TVs at a great price.
