TCL - 85" Class QM6K Series 4K UHD HDR QD Mini LED Smart TV with Google TV (2025)

We don’t have any regrets with this TCL TV. The size works well for our space and feels immersive without being excessive. The matte screen finish is especially useful and does a great job reducing glare in our bright living room. We chose this Mini-LED over an OLED because it handles bright rooms better, and in our situation it also made more sense from a pricing standpoint. For an 86-inch TV, it delivers strong picture quality without feeling like a compromise. The image looks sharp, colors are vibrant, contrast is good, and the TV gets bright without looking washed out. The interface is responsive and easy to navigate. Sound quality exceeded our expectations and has been enough that we haven’t felt an immediate need to add a soundbar. The remote is well designed. It feels sturdy while still being compact, and it’s more reliable than remotes we’ve used with higher priced TVs. The app-based remote also works well and is fast and responsive. We had seen some mixed opinions about TCL beforehand, so we opted for a 5-year warranty for peace of mind. So far, everything has been working as expected. Friends and family who have seen the TV in person are often surprised by how good it looks, and we’ve been asked more than once what model it is. This is a very large and heavy TV. We originally paid for delivery and professional installation, but with how Best Buy handled the delivery and install process, we ended up having to pick it up ourselves. It barely fit in a Tundra truck bed. Professional installation was still helpful given the size, though the coordination required more follow-up than expected. None of this reflects on the TV itself, but it’s something you may want to keep in mind if adding these extra services at checkout. We’ve run into a few minor issues specifically with YouTube Kids, but nothing that points to a problem with the TV itself. Overall, this was a solid choice for a large TV in a bright room, especially considering the size and price.

Overall this TV knocks it out of the park. Purchased this sight unseen due to it being so new. Online reviews gave me all the insight I needed. Best aspect is the mat screen. It cannot be understated how effectively this reduces reflective light. This is great for bright rooms. My living room has 10’ windows all around and this feature alone made this set far better than a brighter set. The second is the brightness doesn’t have to be eye scorching, to get a great picture. Ours is set lower and the auto settings allows it to slowly adjust throughout the day, so at night, you don’t suffer from eye fatigue. Colors seem slightly off so I turned off Dynamic color, which seemed to correct the issues. Local dimming is the way to go, getting the best that micro-LED can offer without the expense of OLED. Off axis is really good as well, due to newly designed LED lenses. Sound is good- if you adjust it, you can hear details and vocals but I’d suggest a sound bar. We paired ours with the Klipsch Core 210 and aren’t disappointed. Remote is very easy to operate and has background lit buttons, for easier navigation in the dark. Packaging is really well done. Only wish manufacturers would make it easier to attack the wall mount brackets, while still suspended in the styrofoam base. When unpacking, make sure to find and remove the metal feet up top, to avoid them falling and potentially damaging your TV or floor. They look very sturdy and have two mount points (wide and narrow). They come with mounting hardware as well. We didn’t use them and opted for a wall mount. Set weighs around 73 pounds, so make sure you have a helper. Hope this helps some of you. We purchased this during Memorial Day weekend and paid $1199, which was cheaper than a lot of older versions for sale. You can’t go wrong with this TV. My cats are mesmerized by it.

The price to performance and specs is truly unmatched. I could not have asked for it to look much better for a 1,000 bucks getting 85" with local dimming, 4k QD mini LED technology with gaming mode and 144hz and free sync and ALLM (AUTO LOW latency mode) and anti glare. that also sounds good?....it's awesome you won't be disappointed.

My old Vizio stopped working, so I went to Best Buy and picked up a TCL 85 inch television. It turned an annoying situation into a big upgrade for my living room. The picture quality on this TV is excellent. Colors look bright and accurate, blacks are deep, and the large screen makes movies, sports, and games feel very immersive. Even regular TV shows look better than they did on my old set. Setup was simple. The built in smart features are easy to use and I had my streaming apps installed and running in just a few minutes. The menus are clear and responsive, and I had no trouble getting everything configured. For sound I am using a 7.2 receiver, and that combination makes this TV feel like a real home theater. The TV works well with my receiver and the overall experience is great for both movies and gaming. Overall I am very happy with this TCL 85 inch. It is a huge step up from my old Vizio and I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a large screen TV with a great picture and strong overall value.

I am a techy. And when my 82” LG turned blue. I went and studied the different types of technology that had come out in the last 7 years. This tv has mini led tech. The picture is stunning. I have put it through every test I can think of. From sports, to High HD content on YouTube. And it responds very well. I do find myself messing with the picture, setting such as vivid, sports, intelligent, and even IMAX on some movies. Once you play around with it and get your settings right that’s all you’re really change. Is the filter that is using. It has the best sound of any flat screen I’ve ever had. Two speakers that are very loud and a built-in subwoofer I paid 999 for this TV in 2000 for my LG 82 inch this one is a 85 and $1000 cheaper I’ve looked at ratings of different TVs out right now and TLC has risen to the top only to be second to Sony, which you cant buy a Sony this large with this tech, without paying well over 1000 more this TV is definitely the best deal on the market now. If I had any complaint, I wish the TV remote was programmable so I could control the volume of my surround sound system. But if your surroundsound system takes arc or earc hdmi you will be able to controll your sound system fine. The Bluetooth works but i believe its my sound sustem that looses connection from time to time.
