What Buyers Say
TCL QM5K Series 50QM5K 50"
The TCL QM5K 50" QD-Mini LED TV delivers vibrant 4K HDR picture quality with deep blacks and bright colors, making it a great value for the price. However, the 60Hz refresh rate (not 120Hz as some expected) and occasional software lag are notable drawbacks. The sound is decent but lacks bass, and the remote design is criticized for its size and button layout. Overall, it's an excellent budget-friendly option for movies and casual use, but gamers may prefer the 55" model for higher refresh rates.

- 60Hz refresh rate (not 120Hz)
