TCL QM8K Series 65QM8K 64.5"
88 out of 100 medium confidence 13 reviews
The TCL 65QM8K is a highly praised QD-MiniLED TV, especially for bright rooms, with stunning picture quality, vibrant colors, and excellent contrast that rivals OLEDs. Users love the Google TV interface and voice control, though some note the audio is just okay and could be punchier, and the volume level indicator is missing. While it's considered a great value for the price, some feel the QM7K is a better choice for standard content, and the TV struggles with low-quality sources.
