TCL QM5K Series 65QM5K 64.5"
The 65-inch QD-Mini LED panel uses up to 500 local dimming zones and the TCL Halo Control System to minimize blooming and deliver high HDR brightness. Game Accelerator 144 provides 144Hz VRR and ALLM for responsive gaming, while Google TV with built-in Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa adds convenient hands-free control. Best for living room viewers who want a bright, budget-conscious MiniLED TV for mixed streaming and gaming, not suited for bright outdoor use.
