TCL 55-Inch Class QM6K Series QD-Mini LED 4K UHD Google Smart TV Best Value Mini-LED TV - QLED, 144hz, 240hz Gaming Rate, High Contrast Screen, Onkyo Audio, Dolby Atmos (55QM6K, 2025 Model)

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.

Purchased this on April 8th 2026. I can honestly say I’m impressed for such a great TV at this price point. Watched some 4k Dolby Atmos videos on YouTube to test the color and it didn’t disappoint. Outstanding color gamut, sharp palette and picture. Sound is on point and amazing, a good soundbar could enhance the experience though. I’m switching from an LG LED and the difference is night and day.

5 out of 5 stars!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This screen did not arrive... it made an entrance. The moment it powered on, the room transformed into a private premiere theater where every movie night feels like opening night. Colors burst off the panel with fireworks energy, blacks dive deep like midnight oceans, and the brightness punches through the room like a spotlight hitting center stage. 🎬✨ The Mini LED and QLED combo is a visual power duo. Action scenes race smoothly, animated worlds glow with rich detail, and 4K content looks polished enough to make you stare a little longer than planned. Whether it’s blockbuster battles, sports chaos, gaming marathons, or late-night streaming adventures, this TV handles it like a seasoned star who knows exactly where the camera is. The size is another victory. At 65 inches, it turns everyday viewing into an event. Small screens whisper. This one speaks in surround-sound confidence. 🍿 Setup was easy, navigation feels smooth, and the overall experience lands in that sweet spot where performance meets value. It feels premium without demanding a treasure chest of gold.

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.

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.
