Überblick
The 30-Second Version
The TCL 65A400U looks great on a wall, but the performance doesn't back up the design. Picture quality, HDR, and gaming all rank below average in our database. Unless the price is significantly lower than the competition, skip it.
Pros & Cons
Vorteile
- Slim gallery-style design that sits close to the wall
- 576 dimming zones is a solid count for the price class
- Native 4K 144Hz panel with 288Hz Game Accelerator
- Art Gallery and Ambient Mode are nice touches for a living room centerpiece
Nachteile
- HDR performance is near the bottom of our database
- Audio is weak, you'll want a soundbar
- Smart features and connectivity rank in the bottom 10 percent
- Picture quality doesn't match the Mini LED marketing hype
Die Fakten
Performance
The display hits 44th percentile overall, which is about average for a 65-inch panel, but the picture quality score of 36th percentile is underwhelming for a TV marketed around its Mini LED backlight. HDR performance is a real weak spot at 13th percentile, so those 2500 nits don't translate into the punchy highlights you'd hope for. Gaming is also rough at 17th percentile despite the 144Hz panel and 288Hz Game Accelerator claim, and the audio from the ONKYO 2.0 setup lands at 13th percentile, meaning you'll probably want a soundbar. The smart features and connectivity both sit at 6th percentile, which is near the bottom of what we track.

vs Competition
Against the LG OLED evo C5, Samsung Neo QLED QN990F, and Sony BRAVIA 9, the TCL doesn't really compete. Those are flagship-tier TVs with top-tier picture quality, and the TCL's 36th percentile picture score puts it in a different league entirely. The more realistic comparison is the Hisense U8 Series 65U8QG and Roku Pro Series 55R8C5. Both of those deliver stronger smart platforms and better overall performance in our testing. The TCL's main edge is the art-focused design, which none of those competitors really emphasize.

Value & Pricing
Without a confirmed price, it's hard to call this a deal or a dud. But based on the scores, this TV needs to undercut the competition significantly to make sense. The Hisense U8 Series and Roku Pro Series both deliver better picture quality and smart features, and they're usually priced aggressively. If the TCL lands in the same ballpark as those, it's a tough sell.

Overview
TCL's Designer Series 65A400U is a 65-inch QLED TV that wants to be art on your wall when you're not watching it. It's got a slim profile, 576 dimming zones, and a claimed 2500 nits of peak brightness, which sounds great on paper. But our database says the actual picture quality lands in the bottom half of TVs we've tested, so the spec sheet is doing some heavy lifting here.
Common Questions
Q: Does the 2500 nits peak brightness make a big difference for HDR?
Not based on our testing. The HDR score lands at 13th percentile, so the real-world HDR experience is underwhelming despite the high claimed brightness.
Q: Is this TV good for gaming on a PS5 or Xbox Series X?
The 144Hz panel and 288Hz Game Accelerator sound good, but the gaming score is only 17th percentile. You'll get a smooth refresh rate, but the overall gaming experience falls behind most TVs we've tested.
Q: Do I need a soundbar with this TV?
Probably. The ONKYO 2.0 audio setup scores 13th percentile, so the built-in speakers are thin. A soundbar would make a noticeable difference for movies and shows.
Who Should Skip This
Skip this if you care about HDR, gaming, or smart TV features. The bottom-tier scores in those areas mean you'll be frustrated if you're a movie buff or gamer. Also skip it if you want a TV that just works out of the box, the weak audio and clunky smart platform will have you reaching for extra accessories.
Verdict
This TV is for someone who cares more about how their living room looks than how the picture performs. If you want a big screen that blends into your decor and you mostly watch casual content, it might work. But if you're buying a 65-inch TV for movie nights or gaming, there are better options at similar prices.
