TCL - 75" Class QM7L Series 4K UHD HDR SQD-Mini LED Smart TV with Google TV (2026)

Great tv great picture really good for my xbox series x

The TV has been great for the family and fits perfect in our living room.

TCL QM7L is a great TV for most people. Pros: - Great picture with colors that pop and the picture can get bright - The B&O sound is a step up from standard TV sound - Google TV interface is snappy and provides everything you need - Included remote is backlit Cons: - Colors degrade sharply off angle TV Setup: Unfortunately, this was one area that wasn’t smooth for me. Scanning the QR code to perform TV setup did not work with my iOS phone. I just got a message that the app clip was unavailable and was forced to go through manual setup. While it wasn’t the end of the world, it was a little disappointing. Picture: I was very impressed with the picture. From the moment you get to the home screen you will notice how bright the TV is and how much the colors pop. I do recommend changing the picture setting to Filmmaker mode. It resulted in a much better picture than the Standard mode. I have watched Standard definition and HDR videos and they all look great. The one issue is that you will notice a dulling of colors as you move off angle. I might not recommend the TV if you are unable to view it straight on. Sound: The sound on the TV is decent. If you plan on using the TV as your non-primary viewing source, you will probably be fine just using the built-in speakers. I played around with the Custom sound profile which opens the Beosonic app, which lets you customize how you like your sound profile. However, you will get an improved experience if you upgrade to a dedicated soundbar (or possibly add the compatible subwoofer). Remote: The included remote is nice (but not as nice as the one included with my QM8G). It is backlit, which is great for nighttime viewing. My real gripe is the placement of the mic and home button. Most remotes have the home button placed in the center of the remote, but on this one the mic button is in the middle and the home button is off to the side. Conclusion: Overall, the TV is a very nice TV that I would recommend for most people. This is my second TV from TCL and so far, I have been pretty happy with their TVs. For the price, this TV is a great value.

If all you care about in a TV is visual and audio quality, this is a 5/5 TV. The biggest drawback is the Google AI assistant which can be activated with “Hey Google” or by toggling the voice input option on the remote. If you say something like Hey Google, turn on the tv”, that works great and it knows what you want. If you say something like, “Can I watch Psych on Peacock”, instead of opening Psych in Peacock, it will pull up an informational screen about Psych and share that it found information about it being available in Peacock. Directly saying, “open Psych in Peacock” works some of the time, but I find myself still having to get the remote to navigate, which to me misses the entire point of having a smart voice assistant built into the tv. I do like being able to say, “Hey Google, Turn off the tv”, when I’m done for the night, or if my wife fell asleep with the controller on her side of the bed. I also appreciate that the tv supports Airplay. The biggest wow for the tv, is actually the audio. It has 2 reverberating speakers in the back of the tv that pretty effectively replace the need for a single soundbar. Granted, I’d still probably prefe a full surround sound setup if this was in my living room or gaming room, but as a bedroom tv, eliminating the need for a separate soundbar has been awesome. Picture quality is rock solid, however I did have to fine tune some settings when I first set it up. It would have been nice if picture quality was part of the initial setup, because my wife’s reaction was, “doesn’t this look washed out?” And she was right. Changing to the cinema setting fixed the color balance issues but it was a pretty disappointing experience from the start, and frankly a huge miss considering this might be setup in someone’s home that doesn’t use technology enough to go into menu settings to refine the video. I’m not sure if it’s even fair to take a full star off for the Voice Assistant but it turned an exciting initial experience into a disappointment. It deserves at least a half star off. Overall though, the tv is great, and comes with some pretty cool apps available for install, including a free Google live tv app, which mostly plays channels with older shows and sometimes replaces commercials with a pretty scenic video while you wait for the commercial timer to expire. Overall I’m very happy with this tv and would recommend.

I upgraded from a 55” LED 4K UHD Smart Android TV that I thought was fantastic until the time it stopped working. I really thought it provided great visuals, sound, and connectivity, but once I set up the TCL 75” SQD-Mini LED TV, I realized how far the technology had advanced. For starters the Google TV integration is night and day different from the Android TV, from channel options to available apps. Plus, TCL, like most, has their own TCL TV option for access to over 350 free channels. Assembly and set up was easy! The included base pedestal is about 15.2” by 14.5” and is sturdy or you can attach it to a wall or floor mount using the vesa mounts. The remote control is back-lit which automatically activates when you pick it up, but you can also disable that feature. The remote is fully voice capable including integration with Google Gemini. You can set the voice capabilities to only function when the Voice button on the remote is pressed, or to respond to “Hey Google” or a preferred wakeup word. There are preset buttons for Netflix, prime video, YouTube, Apple TV. TCLtv and Disney+. There’s also a dedicated button for an antenna source! Where I live we have access to over 60 OTA channels, and this allows you to Live Pause the antenna TV feed for up to 30 minutes. You can also edit the channel labels and the input label names. The panel is 4K UHD (3840 x 2160) with an Imax Enhanced QLED and a 144Hz refresh rate with a peak brightness of 3000 Nits and countless dimming zones. There is 1 USB 3.0 and 1 USB 2.0 input along with 4 HDMI 2.1. One 2 are 4K@144Hz, 2 at 4K@60Hz with one of them being eARC. The response time for the upgraded Google TV and integrated Gemini Voice controls is great with no noticeable lag. The video is unequaled in my experience, and includes multiple options to fine tune it to your preference including Vivid, Low Power, Sports, Movie, Game, PC, Filmmaker Mode and an AI enhanced intelligent setting. These modes are coupled with 3 Dolby Vision Modes including IQ, Bright and Dark. The picture size can be adjusted and has 6 settings from 16:9 to Stretch Zoom. For those not acquainted with Bang & Olufsen sound products, they are top tier and that is evident in this unit. There are 5 presets for Movie, Music, Speech, Game, Night and Sport plus the ability to set/save your own preferences through the equalizer. There’s also a unique online toggle option to further refine your preferred frequency ratings. The television has Bluetooth 5.4, and I experienced zero latency when I paired various headphones or earbuds. After a week I realized I no longer needed my soundbar so I disconnected it. The television can be cast through Google Chromecast or screen share through Apple Play. In my opinion this television presents as close to a real life experience as any I’ve seen.
