TCL Q6-Series 85Q651G 85"
Reviewers are overwhelmingly satisfied with the TCL 85-inch Q65 QLED TV, praising its stunning 4K picture quality, vibrant colors, and deep blacks. The high 120Hz refresh rate and low input lag make it a fantastic choice for gaming, especially with a PS5. While the built-in speakers are decent, pairing with a soundbar is recommended for the best experience, and some note that standard animation can look odd due to the high refresh rate.
Pros
- Stunning 4K picture quality
- Vibrant colors and deep blacks
- Excellent for gaming with low input lag
- 120Hz refresh rate for smooth motion
- Great value for the price
Cons
- Standard animation looks odd at 120Hz
- Built-in speakers are just decent
- Viewing angles show some color shift
- Local dimming could be better
- Occasional software bugs possible
