What Buyers Say
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.

- 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

- Viewing angles show some color shift
- Local dimming could be better
- Occasional software bugs possible
