TCL - 55" Class Q7 Series QLED 4K UHD Smart TV with Google TV (2023)

I was skeptical between this, the Q6, the QM7, and the Hisense U6 and U7. I didn't want to pay north of $400 for a TV and I think this TV is very bang for the buck. It has decent color accuracy and local dimming. While there aren't as many dimming zones as the QM7 or the Hisense U7, the price is also significantly cheaper. HDR looks great, and so does 4k content. Make sure to have a streaming service that supports 4k, else you'll just be viewing up-scaled content. 1080p up-scaling is also decent, however 720p is very average. Games look great on this thanks to the native 120hz refresh rate (which is what made me choose this over the Q6 and Hisense U6). I played some Forza and FC24 and the motion scenes look great, as you'd expect. My biggest qualm with this TV is that the speakers output surprisingly low volume audio. Even when set to max, it compares to 40% volume of other TVs. Won't matter though if you have a soundbar or some home audio setup. All in all, its a nice TV for gaming/content consumption. If you do have the budget, I'd recommend going for the QM7 as it's the newer version of this model and has better brightness and more dimming zones. But that doesn't take away the fact that this is a great TV for the price.

For the price of the TV it performs and looks very good. The Smart Features are very responsive with no delay, however time will tell with updates. Bought this TV to use as a sim racing/gaming monitor due to the rated 120hz @ 4k. For some reason the TV will not support this resolution on PC it will constantly flash and display the input. I have tried to run this on different cables and computers with no success. I am waiting for TCL to hopefully come out with an update to address this issue if possible. It will run 2k resolution at 120hz no problem. I cannot see no visible clouding in the panel and the black level is very good. This almost has OLED performance for 1/3 the price. I find the speakers to also be decent. I currently have it wall mounted and I don't find the need add a sound bar (For what I use it for in my office) the speakers provide just enough rumble. If you can get one of these TV's on sale it is a great value. If they can get the 4k PC support 120hz working properly I would change my rating to 5 stars.

This is a great TV for a price. Brightness/color is adequate. Refresh rate is great for sports watching. Google TV integration offers tons of customizations. Google casting is acceptably fast. I often cast YT videos to this TV. No need to add external dongles. Free TCL channel offers lots of free content. The TV has some very rare sync issues with my Polk soundbar (through eARC). Turning the TV on and off fixes the issues.

This is the best value for money tv in it's price range and cheapest 120 hz tv for gaming. Games and shows look great. You can see some raised blacks in movie letterboxing in a dark room since there are only one hundred and something dimming zones. If you want better black letterbox bars you probably need to look at the qm8. However for those looking for the best tv for the least amount of money while still getting something you can be happy with this is a great choice! Google tv is very snappy and responsive as well! The speakers are only okay so i would recommend a soundbar. But that goes for most tvs.
