Excellent TV. Beautiful colors. Unbeatable sale price.
Amazon delivered a day early. Had it hanging on the wall in no time thanks to the help of my daughter and Amazon delivering the wall mount the day before. Took a little bit of time to set up with all the apps I'm subscribed to, along with a system update, but once all was said and done, I purchased the new Michael Jackson movie on Amazon Prime and was blown away by the clarity, colors and performance of this TV. If you don't get an OLED set, the mini-LED ones are the way to go! The sound is very impressive on this TV, also! Couldn't be more pleased with this purchase. Nice work TCL.

Outstanding product for the price
This is a great TV. Much better than the Hisense TV I returned last month. This has a very quick response time. When opening the menu on the TV, its instant. On other TV's such as Hisense and Insignia, there is a 5-10 second delay for the menu to appear on screen when selecting it from the remote. The remote also lights up making it easy to see in the dark. It also has the extra features such as picture off. At night I often like to lay in bed and listed to TV without having the bright picture on as I am trying to rest. This TV offers that. Game mode on this TV kicks in instantly and changes the picture to Dolby Vision. On the Hisense TV, It would often take 5 minutes into a game before it would detect and change to Game Mode. I have normally used Samsung, Insignia, or Vizio TV's. This is my first TCL TV. For the price, I would strongly recommend giving this a chance as you cant even find anything close in this price ranges that offers 144HZ. Most TV's still offer 60 Hz unless you are spending more than $1,000.00 There are 4 HDMI ports. 2 dedicated to 144HZ, 1 for HDMI Arc and the last HDMI port only transmits in 60Hz. As an Amazon FireTV/Firestick user for more than 10 years, I was hesitant about switching to a Google TV. I have no regrets. It has the Amazon Prime App pre loaded as well as some other free TV apps. I use a Sony Surround sound system with the TV, but I did test the audio without and was quite impressed. Normally the speakers on a TV are subpar, but these are actually quite great.

Highly recommend if you don't want to spend craploads of money
This may be last year's model, but the price, picture quality, ease of use and build quality make this a no brainer if you're looking to replace an older TV. This replaces my 8 yr. old Samsung 4k, and the difference in picture quality is staggering. It's like getting new glasses and going outside for the first time. Everything is sharp and clear, colors pop and you swear you can see things you've never seen before. Great TV.

Glad I moved on this television
My old TV finally quit on me and I was in search of a new one. Mostly I'll be using this for gaming but I do have all my streaming subscriptions loaded in as well. The remote control is easy to use and intuitive, and large enough to not get lost constantly while being small enough not to be in the way all the time. The setup really was a snap. The only troubles I encountered were of my own making as evidently I am well on my way to being an old man who is locked in eternal battle with technology. If I can set this up I guarantee you can. It is Wi-Fi and Bluetooth enabled and connects effortlessly to either or both. I got the Amazon deluxe delivery deal where they inbox it and put it in whichever room you choose, and it was actually free with this television. The guys delivering were polite and professional and made certain that the TV was functional before they took off. It was obviously well packed and protected and arrived 100% damage free. The picture is fabulous and the 120-144 hz refresh rate really makes video games pop. There are 4 HDMI inputs for those of you that are curious and the sound on the TV is fantastic as well. There is a built in subwoofer that will round out the bottom end of the sound. Not sure what the current price will be as you look this up but it was $525 when I bought it and absolutely worth every nickel. This is the 65" by the way.

Great TV after some adjustment
I don't know if I can add much that hasn't already been said in previous reviews but here goes. I'm not a super power user. I don't like watching sports, I don't play video games, but I do watch a lot of streaming and disc based based content. I HATE all the new motion "enhancing" stuff they put on TV's that give that soap opera look so I always turn that stuff off first. In fact most of the time I turn off all the real tine image processing type stuff because I find personally that it makes stuff look artificial, or some may call it hyper real. Edges too sharp and details too detailed. HDR is a bit different because it seems to enhance things more naturally and som of it is done with the actual filming or mastering so the content is actually made for it. All the other stuff is happening after the fact so it just never looks good to me for most movies and shows that I watch. I watch a lot of sci-fi type stuff with a lot of dark imagery and I love OLED picture. I have an old (gotta be 10+yrs) 65" LG B6 from back when LG was the only OLED name in TVs and they had 2 or maybe 3 levels. At the time, the B6 was the "base" model (at $3k) but I couldn't stand LCD tvs at the time because I was coming from an old Panasonic plasma. OLED was really the only option for me since they no longer produced plasma and everything was focused on 4k, even though there wasn't really any content meant for it. Anyway, fast forward to today, my beloved LG OLED just stopped one day without warning. The screen was still looking great with minimal burn in and no dead pixels that I can see. Pretty amazing actually, especially for older OLED tech. I needed a TV now so I can take apart my other one and see about fixing it (likely just a power supply which is easy to fix). I knew I didn't want to spend a ton as this will be a spare, "bedroom" type TV when I fix the LG, but not knowing how long it would take to fix, I wanted something decent so mini-led tech seemed the ticket as it would be a big upgrade for the bedroom later on. Also it would give me some experience with the new tech these days. Didn't take me long in my research to narrow it down to TCL or Hisense. I settled on TCL because it seemed to match up best for the features of the type of content I watch most. I'm sure Hisense is a good tv as well. After pouring over the QM6, QM6PRO (only at costco) and the QM7, I settled on this one, largely due to the price point, I'm pretty happy with it. I still love the richness of OLED but this is still pretty satisfying. If I was going to dump OLED as my main set, I would likely get a QM7 because it definitely is a big upgrade. I saw them side by side at best buy and the difference was significant. But the price was just more than I wanted to spend for a secondary screen. I don't have super bright rooms or at least no direct glare where the TV's go so the lack of brightness in the QM6 is not an issue. I'm used to lower brightness with OLED so it seems pretty normal to me. I use the adaptive brightness which is great because you set it where you want at a certain ambient light level and then the sensor adjusts accordingly when that ambient level changes. The Google TV format is fine, runs pretty quick and has everything I'm used to coming from using a Fire TV Cube with my other TV and other fire tv's and sticks. Its relatively familiar because fireOS is android based anyway. Not super impressed with sound but I haven't messed around a lot with it yet because I have a sound bar with subwoofer so that is what is used the majority of the time. The thing that really impresses me (and scares me at the same time) is how intelligent these things are. Just plugging in my blu-ray player brought automatic basic function of the remote and routing of the audio to the soundboard, even though they are all different brands. I always thought this shouldn't be incredibly hard to do but in the past this functionality was usually only brand specific because all the big names love their propriety, to get you to buy only their products, and even make things harder on purpose (looking at you apple). I settled on the 55" after originally thinking I was going to get another 65" and I'm glad I did because after putting my dead (for now) 65"OLED in the bedroom to put this in the living room, 65" is too big for the bedroom. This one that is in the living room for now, is going to be great for the bedroom when we feel like watching movies in bed. Though I may end up getting a sound bar set up for the sound. Oh, lastly, I will say that the motion activated back light on the remote is pretty frickin cool. I don't see that a lot. All in all, I wouldn't hesitate to buy this again or other products from TCL. At least until they start going to crap, which eventually seems to happen with just about everything. That's why I'm never a brand loyalist.

Excellent TV with only minor issues
This is the TV I’ve wanted for a long time. After the IR receiver on my old LG failed, I finally got sick of waking up to turn it on/off manually. I looked around for holiday deals and grabbed this TV on sale, after walking into Best Buy to check it out. I was torn between this QM6K model and the new QM7K. I wanted the 7K anti-glare and improved brightness, but it wasn’t on discount as much as the 6K was. My concern was that this TV is the master bedroom TV, so it has to be visible and sharp at night, but also during the day when light is streaming into the wall of south-facing windows between the bed and the TV. It turns out that the brightness and anti-glare on the 6K is sufficient for this room. Watching football games and such is clear and the refresh keeps up fine. I can’t speak for video game performance, but for sports it’s great. The movies we’ve watched were great as well. Both the brightness, as well as the blackness are excellent. I was a bit worried about the sound when reading the reviews. However the two rear-mounted speakers provide robust, clear and loud audio. I haven’t gotten the TV over 20% yet, and probably never will. I like that there’s only one cable (power), so it’s a clean setup with no dangling wires to deal with. Yeah, that has nothing to do with the TV itself, but my point is that I don’t need the cable box, AppleTV or FireStick anymore. If I have to find a flaw, it would be with the base. It comes with two V-shaped bars that prop the TV up at either end. Not attractive, not particularly stable, but also probably not the way you want to set up this TV. For an 85” TV, mounting it on a rock-solid wall mount is the best option. If you need a table-mount, you’ll probably want one that mounts to the vesa connectors on the back. Overall, this is a minor issue, and I’m not deducting a whole star just for that.

65” Series 6
This is a solid investment so far as picture quality. I own a 65” Series 4 and two 65” Series 8’s. As the model number dictates this is in between. Picture is noticably better than a Series 4. However, it’s also somewhat less than a Series 8. It is literally in between. For the price difference I would easily buy it over a cheaper Series 4. I do mean easily. Great picture for the money. If my budget was between $500-$1000 my money would be spent on the 6 or 8 series. Sorry, I don’t own a 7 series to give opinion. The 6 series is a great living room tv on a budget and an even better buy for a bedroom tv. Power consumption: The series 6 that I purchased without anything else connected, is kinda wishy washy and fluctuates concerning power consumption. It bounces between 120 watts and 180 watts, with 150 watts per hour a truthful average. It bounces. My series 8 tv’s, both 65”, while they use more power, are solid at 250 watts/ per hour. While the 65” Series 6 this review is about, does considerably fluctuate considering power consumption, the picture is great for the price. Literally just bought this month. I’m reviewing pic quality and power consumption. It may give up the ghost when I post this review.

A surprisingly competent “budget” TV.
I needed a replacement for an older 55” Samsung LED set that developed dark areas on its display. I was not looking for a high end set, since I already have a 65” Sony OLED as my primary unit. Aside from a decent picture I also really wanted something with good audio, particularly for voice. Cheaper sets all seemed to have poor audio quality without a sound bar, and I really did not want to use a sound bar with this. So, after a lot of research, the TCL QM6K kept coming up as a recommended budget TV. At $450, it certainly comes in s an affordable choice. I ordered the TCL and it arrived via UPS in a few days. The package was fine, and the TV was perfect out of the box. The two legs for the non-wall mount simply attach with two screws for each one. If you look at the instructions they show the screw brackets pointing in, and that has to be the orientation for the legs to line up properly. Set up, which I dreaded, was surprisingly simple and required just pairing my iPhone through the displayed bar codes. The WiFi was recognized and operational with no other input required. I had to enter my Gmail account information to access the full slate of Google TV options, and then wait while the unit downloaded the latest updates. Functions of the remote are explained in the manual. The menus, accessed through the gear button, are very inclusive and provide many options for the picture and sound quality. I tried the settings recommended by several online sites, but found working with the TCL preset options produced more pleasing results. Sound quality is better than expected, and can easily be adjusted to produce very clear voice quality. I tried the TCL auto volume adjust feature, and found it boosted and lowered the volume at odd times and seemed very artificial and annoying. I turned it back off. So, after a week of use and some fiddling with the settings, I have a $450 TCL that is giving me an excellent image with clear and pleasing sound. Is it as good as my Sony OLED? No, it's not. The Sony has more detail in blacks, and a much wider viewing angle. But the difference is not as great as I thought it would be, and the Sony was over $2,000 when I bought it. At only a week, I can’t comment on reliability, but “budget” TV’s generally do not do as well as more expensive ones. I will be holding on to the shipping box and packing material until the 30 day Amazon return period is over. If there are no issues, and I really don’t expect there will be, this TCL is an easy recommendation within its modest price range.
