TCL - 65" Class QM7K Series 4K UHD HDR QD Mini LED Smart TV with Google TV (2025)

TV colors and picture are on par with my old LG, which lost a main board and died after a year. Also on par with all of my Samsung TCS which have been my go to since the early Xbox 360 days. Through the years of 1080p to 4k Samsung has been the front runner. TCL is what I was getting for my kids and I am not seeming them pushing into the high end of TVs and saving me money. So after my first 4k Samsung from 2017 got broken by one my youngest punching it while playing VR I didn't have the money but I needed something. This met the budget and the gaming specs for playing on Xbox series x and PS5. It is a definitive upgrade, easy setup and 2ell handled settings. If you are looking to hit 4k 120 FPS and not break the bank this I think is the best bang for your buck currently. I have been running this TV for about 7 months as of this review. No regrets.

This TV delivers truly stunning visuals! I am beyond impressed! The contrast is deep, colors are incredibly vibrant, and the brightness makes HDR content look phenomenal, even in well-lit rooms. Fast-paced scenes are handled smoothly, making it great for movies, sports, and gaming alike. The sound quality is equally impressive—rich, clear, and immersive, with support for Dolby Atmos and DTS Virtual:X adding depth to everything you watch. Smart features are intuitive and easy to use, with built-in voice control and support for all major platforms like Chromecast, AirPlay, Alexa, and Google Assistant. It also looks fantastic in the room with its sleek, ultra-slim design. A fantastic all-around TV that nails both performance and style.

I’ve owned and watched plenty of TVs over the years, but the TCL 65” QM7K genuinely impressed me from the moment I turned it on. The picture is incredibly bright, sharp, and vibrant, with deep blacks and contrast that make movies and shows look almost three-dimensional. HDR content especially looks fantastic—the colors pop without looking overly artificial, and the Mini-LED performance makes dark scenes look dramatically better than what I was used to. Sports are another huge win. Motion looks smooth, the 65” screen is the perfect size for making the game feel immersive, and the brightness is strong enough that the picture still looks great during the daytime. Gaming is equally impressive, with fast response, smooth motion, and a picture that makes newer games look absolutely stunning. I also really like that TCL managed to pack this much performance into a TV without pushing the price into premium-brand territory. The Google TV interface gives you everything you need in one place, and setup was straightforward. The biggest compliment I can give the QM7K is that it feels like I spent significantly more money than I actually did. If you want a big-screen TV with outstanding brightness, contrast, color, gaming performance, and overall picture quality without paying flagship prices, the TCL QM7K is an easy recommendation. Five stars — this TV punches WAY above its price tag!

Not the highest level QLED or the largest & most expensive, but this QM7K is a super value smart tv. The picture is crisp and bright even in our living room with huge windows. Settings to adjust the "soap opera" ultra high frame rate is intuitive, and we have found a sweet spot with Low or Medium on almost all types of programming. With sports, these ultra high frame rates cause the ball to stutter or flicker through the air, but Low or Medium solves it. Colors are great too, vibrant and pop. We have a mid-range surround sound audio setup so we don't use the onboard speakers, but we tried them and they are fantastic. All in all, a massive upgrade and we are super pleased with this purchase.

Watching HDR content with this TV has been a revelation! Dolby Vision and HDR10 is amazing and gaming has been fantastic. Default white balance is a little too warm for my taste but that was a simple adjustment and now I feel like it’s perfect. The processor is quick and navigation is snappy, TCL knocked it out of the park with this one.
