TCL Q6 QLED - BETTER than your EXPENSIVE TV

[@Krakn3Dfx]

Don't think it's mentioned here, but this TV supports native 120Hz at 1080p and 1440p. The PS5 and XSX will allow you to run at 1080/1440, so you can run at 1440p/120Hz and have VRR support, which is going to be great for games like Elden Ring that have some framerate drops here and there.

[@JilesMcCoy]

Thanks for the details!

I was just marveling at this TV at Costco it was a definite stand out among all 75 inch TVs that were not OLED. The reason is because it has a very special LCD VA panel with 6,000:1 native contrast! In the older days local dimming would you get you that much contrast! So this is a very nice inky-blacks mid-range TV!

[@JilesMcCoy]

Thanks for the info!

@@JilesMcCoy Actually, the costco model is the 75q691f, it has local dimming! An upgrade from the 650f, and it's onsale this weekend for $499 (LOCAL dimming + 75" for $499 is insane!) In-store only ...

[@FURognar]

I rocked a TCL 6 for almost 7 years. Recently upgraded to a TCL QM8. Phenomenal picture. My only issue with TCL is the processing isnt up to par with the big three and so motion and upscaling isnt as good, but supppsedly the latest 2024 models have improved processing. If they've improved the upscaling, then its a no-brainer.

Nice!

[@CodemanDBZ]

Q650 - 2x 10w speakers Q651 - 2x 15w speakers (So the new model has better speakers) Also to note, the new model has a better processor so the image enhancements are better as well as less lag when moving through the TVs apps and menus.

[@puckgold4956]

Look I'm going to be honest here, I have had this exact TV for a month (TCL 85-Q6 QLED) and there is a lot of motion blurry and judder issues. You don't see the football or puck and if you do it's just a blur. In fact at times you don't even see the football or puck. I have tried adjusting every setting and the problem remains. When I watch the the same events on my TCL 55 S-5 upstairs there is NO ISSUES. I'm in the process of returning the TV. If you watch a lot of football or hockey, this TV is not for you.

Thanks for watching!

I'm an integrator installer and sell several brands. I tried TCL a year ago because of the cost but you get what you pay for. The picture is bright and colorful but processing is not that great and f the 28 I installed, all failed within a year and they do not honor their warranties.

@@JilesMcCoy Yes. 3 Dead out of the box then the rest failed over a 9 month span.

[@duanerandleman2456]

@@JilesMcCoy Took me 36 hours over 5 weeks on the phone to get them to replace one out of the box that came from their distributor and none of the others were covered. Every phone call I had to start over doing their trouble shooting and taking pictures then pictures of the serial number and the condition of the box. Then when they didn't pick it up I called in with the case number and had to start over. They just wear you down so you think it's not worth your time. As a comparison, in the last 15 years I have installed over 700 Sony TVs and only had 12 fail. All of them out of warranty and they still replaced 8 of them out of warranty.

[@iLawfGaming]

Hisense u7 is better than the tcl q6. Tcl qm 7 is comparable to the hisense u7, but after two weeks of research, hisense u7 has the edge. Hisense has pretty decent antiglare comparable to the to neo qled tvs, plus the 75 inch version uses a ads pro panel vs every other tv using a VA panel. Making it better for viewing angles. Hisense u7 is also out of the box ready for picture settings, and has better/more gaming options. You honestly cant go wrong with either TV. Smaller sizes like the 55 and 65 are really close in price, $200 difference between tcl q6 and hisense u7. It isnt until you get to the 75 and 85 that you start seeing a $350-600 difference. What really shines with the hisense u7 is 144hz option for PC users looking for a solid monitor, and the ability to play 4kUHD at 120hz on consoles. Sales so far havent stated black friday, so if you see the hisense u7 get a black Friday deal hop on it. Im really considering the 100 inch hisense u7. If you're looking for size without breaking your wallet, go with 85 inch tcl qd6 at $850 vs 85 hisense u7 at $1499. Hope this helps someone decide on a TV. Theres also that sweet oled on sale on best buy right now, 65 inch samsung s90c oled for $999. I picked one up and I've been in awe these last two weeks. My old tvs and monitors look so flat, i cant go back. Edit: 75 inch Hisense u7 just got it's black Friday special at best buy for $899.

[@JilesMcCoy]

Great advice!

[@sportstronics]

I've compared the u7 and qm7 and the hisense ghosting and motion is way off. Better colors that's about it.

[@iLawfGaming]

@@sportstronics TCL has better colors, but you have to tweak the settings to get there. It also has an issue with reds, but you can tone it down with filters to correct it. Hisense has an issue with greens, so watching sports with green fields is intense. Though, Hisense you don't have to adjust much for picture settings. You can't go wrong with either TV, but I do feel like Hisense has an edge in most cases, especially with the screen glare being better. Q6 is so much more affordable, and similar with gaming options minus the 4KUHD 120hz. It can do 4K 1440p 120hz. Both brands have their issues though, but common with affordable TVs. Only thing I'm curious about is the 75 inch Hisense U7 with the ADS pro panel vs a VA panel. Everyone reviews the 65 inch versions of TVs, and I haven't seen the 75 inch version be reviewed and showcased.

@@JilesMcCoy If you still have this TV you should try to get the 85 inch Version of the 2024 Model. It is Q651G the Google Version. This one is Now on sale for $1000.00. The listed price is $1600.00 but it has been sold since it came out for $1200.00. If it is as good as I hear it is it's an Incredible Value and a Outstanding TV. It has a 120 hz upgraded VA panel which provides Great Contrast and Deep Blacks. This Version of the TV and the 98 inch they Both have this 120 hz VA panel. The others, have a 60 hz IPS panel although I have heard some models have a 60 hz VA panel. It gets confusing...

Please give this guy some credit - this is a highly overlooked mid-range TV which is quite possibly the best value for money TV under $1000 for 85". But all the major review websites have ignored it!

Straight from TCL: "Our Biggest Sales, amount of TV sold, are our 720p and 1080p TVs. You can buy 50 inch TCL 720p and 1080p TVs for $200.00. They are actually Very Good TVs.
