If you ask me, TCL makes some of the best QLED TVs money can buy. While there are plenty of differences between QLEDs and the pricier OLEDs, they can be tough to spot without a trained eye, which means for most people, the cost savings will be worth it—especially when the QLED TV in question is an additional $800 off..
If you’re looking to buy a massive TV without going bankrupt, consider TCL’s QM6K QLED, which is currently going for $1,499.99 at Amazon for the 98-inch model, marked down from the original$2,299.99 list price. This is the lowest price it has reached, according to price-tracking tools. While I don’t own this gigantic set myself, I’ve been enjoying a 65-inch QM6K for almost a year, and I am still impressed by how good it looks, especially given the price.
TCL’s QM lineup offers good value regardless of the size. The QM6K has 500 local dimming zones (according to CNET’s 8.6/10 review) plus a mini LED panel for improved contrast. While the picture is customizable, color accuracy for HDR content is surprisingly good out of the box, which is great for people who don’t like to mess with settings.
With the QM6K you also get a 144Hz native refresh rate; HDR formats like HDR ULTRA with Dolby Vision IQ, HDR10+, HDR10, and HLG; Dolby Atmos Audio; an anti-glare screen; four HDMI Inputs (one of which is an eARC); and the Google TV Smart OS (my favorite OS) with Chromecast built in, meaning you can easily cast from your phone to the TV. You also get Apple AirPlay 2 and Alexa built in, as noted in ZDNet’s review.
What do you think so far?
If you’re a gamer, there’s more to like in the QM6K, as stated in IGN’s 9/10 review. The Game Bar feature lets you adjust settings on the fly; there’s also a VRR accelerator that doubles the refresh rate to a perceived 288Hz; and it also has AMD FreeSync Premium Pro, so you can experience smooth gameplay on a PC or console. It’s truly a lot on offer when it comes to an “entry-level” QLED TV.
