If you want something brighter, more colorful and packed with more features than TCL's QM5K, consider its higher-end sibling, the QM6K. This Mini-LED TV offers a punchier picture than the QM5K and has crashed in price at the end of the year.

The TCL QM6K is a delight of a TV. TCL here showcase it strength as a budget TV manufacturer with a QD-Mini-LED QLED Tv that delivers exceptionally when it comes to image quality and gaming especially for its price point.

Thanks for this great review. This TV (particularly this Costco specific version) might be the best value TV available in the US right now. To my knowledge, we've never had picture quality so good, at this size, for so little money ever.

The TCL QM6K is an entry-level TV released in 2025 and technically replaces the 2024 TCL Q651G, although the newer model is a step up from the previous one due to its Mini LED panel and advanced gaming features. Similarly, The Hisense U65QF is a budget model in Hisense's ULED lineup and sits below the Hisense U75QG and Hisense U8QG.

But this year we have the QM6K which is a really good TV more generally available and now QM6K Pro which is Costco exclusive. And what this TV gives you is the Crisl Glow HVA panel which is a new type of panel that is better off angle viewing.

You're like, "Where is it?" Well, I want to show you the box first cuz I'm super blown away in my first impressions of this 98 in TV. I like showing the box off first cuz it shows you all of the specs that this thing has. And it has a lot of stuff going on around it. So, you can see it gets the LD500 precise dimming series.

It is an awesome television, but they make smaller sizes as well. I know at least goes down to 55, if not smaller as well. So, they have like 55 all the way up to 98 and everything in between.

If you're looking for a budgetfriendly TV that punches way above its weight class, the TCL QM6K is definitely worth a look. This is TCL's entry-level model, but don't let the label entry-level fool you. This TV is packed with premium features that you normally wouldn't get in this price range.

Out of the box, it's not perfect, but by using my simple recommended settings, I can easily give this TV a very solid 7 out of 10 stars, which considering the price, it's more than decent. The black level is phenomenal thanks to its 500 zones quantum dot mini LED which produces no blooming whatsoever thanks to the 0 mm gap between the mini LED backlight and the LCD panel.

But I got to say, for being the base model of the Q series, because you know, you got the Q6, Q7, and QM8. For being the base model of the Q series, TCL has actually packed a lot into this TV. So, like I mentioned, this is a QD mini LED TV up to LD 500 precise dimming series. It's got a gaming accelerated 288 hertz, high HDR brightness. You're getting up to a 144 hertz native refresh rate.

The QM6K has an outstanding picture with very high brightness, especially for gaming and movie viewing. While sure, the QM7K does kick it up a notch as you can see here with double the brightness in certain peaks, certain windows, in SDR and HDR modes. On the 7, you will have a more impactful picture, more colorful.

Picture performance is where the QA M6K truly shines for its budget positioning. Powered by a QD miniLEDD panel with up to 500 local dimming zones, it achieves impressive contrast.

Brightness is solid with peak HDR output around 655 to 695 nits, sufficient for most rooms.

Make no mistake, though, this is still a budget model at heart. Its HDR brightness is on the mediocre side, enough for a generally pleasant HDR experience, but it lacks the pop for truly eye-catching highlights. It doesn't look any dimmer in game mode, so gamers won't be losing anything there. At least its HDR brightness follows the content creators intent pretty closely overall.

They feel stable once installed, but they need a wide TV stand. They also have a fixed height, so I could not raise the screen to make more room underneath. That leg design is worth checking before buying. A large soundbar may block the lower part of the screen unless the TV stand has enough space. Wall mounting is another option, and the TV supports a standard 300 by 300 VESA mount.

I love the contrast better on TCL, but I use my TV mostly for movies in 4K and its seems the shadow detail is lost in darker scenes on the TCL. But if that could be fixed or better in upper TCL models, then I lean towards TCL.

Although there may be a slight halo effect around very bright objects against dark backgrounds, something common in many screens with local dimming. We're not talking about an OLED, of course, but for its price range, the visual result is quite good.

C Currently, by AT&T Ryan Epps · reviewer

TCL's QM6K is built to be a gamer's delight, offering robust features on a 144Hz refresh rate and just enough performance to make HDR movies look crisp. However, it lacks higher brightness metrics to handle bright rooms.

I could tell the Bravia 9 was better in the details in the pictures. The TCL clearly not as good. I believe the Bravia 7 would also be better. Processing makes the difference in Sony's favor.
