TCL - 65" Class QM9K Series 4K UHD HDR QD-Mini LED Smart TV with Google TV (2025)

I recently bought the TCL QM9K as a gift for my husband. This TV is incredible—the brightness is outstanding, it looks very elegant, and the design is excellent. The sound quality is also impressive. This is the third TCL TV we’ve owned at home, and the first high-end model. The HDR performance is spectacular; I don’t think anything could surpass it. Motion handling on YouTube is very good, and Netflix works well too, although occasionally you can notice some minor distractions or glitches in fast-moving scenes. The serious problem is with Disney Plus: it’s practically impossible to watch content there. The image flickers, lags, and the motion is erratic, and no adjustment seems to fix it. This is frustrating because I also own a 2024 55-inch TCL Mini LED model, and I’ve had no complaints with that one. I didn’t expect to encounter this issue on a high-end model. If I had purchased the QM8K instead, I wouldn’t be facing this problem. I truly hope TCL or Disney Plus can resolve this in the future. I don't suggest you don't buy it until they fix that problem and improve the movement process; you can buy the QMK6 L, K7, or QMK8, which doesn't have these problems.

This TV is about as close as i could get to a full OLED panel. The dimming zones are insanely precise and the color is absolutely stunning. This holds up well to 4k 120hz gaming from my PC with Full HDR.

I bought the 65-inch TCL QM9K specifically because my family room is very bright and has a large picture window. Wow, I am happy with this TV. The picture stays bright and clear during the day, and the colors really pop even with a lot of natural light coming into the room. Setup and installation were easy, and the Google TV interface is simple to use and navigate. The Mini-LED picture quality is excellent, blacks look great, and everything from regular TV to sports and movies looks sharp. I also really like the thin bezel even know i didn't need it, and overall design once it is mounted on the wall. If you have a bright room like I do, this TV is definitely worth a look. I have been extremely happy with the 65-inch model and would absolutely recommend it.

Really good TV. Very snappy in regards to menu and app switching capabilities. The Wi-Fi is amazing on it so the connection is quick. I would definitely recommend this TV to friends and family for something that doesn’t break the bank.

Once again, I am stung buying a flagship top-of-line version, only to get stung AFTER careful handling, unboxing and placing glass panel (with cardboard and foam cushioning) on a bed with ultrasoft blanket. Had I thoroughly inspected the factory taped top and noticed a couple of creases on the front middle TCL decal, i may have passed on this unit. However, It was the only one in the back warehouse, and the staff had 2 employees move it to the rear of my SUV. Grateful for the assistance on a 100+ degree day, I once again, didnt inspect the cardboard box. Got the TV home and moved it out of the car with my wife. No issues as the weight was about 60lbs and handles made it a snap. Once inside, we let it sit while we cooled off. An hour later i unboxed and noticed "bubbles" under the clear heavy static film and styrofoam top front edge protection. Bubbles under static film shouldnt be an issue. Especially on a TV sitting for a year, possibly being warehoused, trailered and shipped in the heat and sun of 100ish degree days. Once I attached the stand and cabling, we lifted onto a heavy nightstand for film removal. Only then wax visible panel separation visible on the front top center. I took pics and also took pics of an apparent "seal-seam" separation on the center top front edge. I then inspected the interior front of the box and top styrofoam, and both indicated something struck the top with enough force to internally indent the front cardboard and also indent or crush a TCL remote sized gouge into the top styrofoam. Had i cut open the top tape and removed the straps and box in thr store, all this would have made me turn and wslk away. But that's something nobody does. My best advice to those still reading this: -inspect your TV box by hand, and take pics or walk away if t heres any doubt. -TCL ROKU use a nice full size decal covering the front and back of their TVs. Sony does not, assuming that any damage is totally visible prior to purchase. -TCL packaging is half t he thickness of SONYs BRAVIA line which may help prevent shipping damage. -Since TCL now will produce SONY AV products, any former assumptions of packaging quality are moot. Buyer beware when buying something as large as a TV without complete inspection. TCL support rep told me that the unit must be returned to the store. Since shipping handling or warehouse damage cannot be handled over the phone. Ill be returning this today to the local BB.
