I’m so happy with this TV. It sticks the landing on every feature I was looking for, and balances perfectly the price with the capabilities for gaming, movies, and shows and looks fantastic. The colors are vibrant and rich, the panel is crisp and produces deep blacks with the full array mini led local dimming and super bright 3000 nit HDR, and best of all the software suite functions fast and just works, free of lag and drama. For its size, it is lightweight and was relatively easy to get mounted and setup. It is well packaged and includes a center mounted stand and the remote and power cable. I did not need the stand as I was replacing an older TV that was already wall mounted but this one gratefully almost perfectly matched the mounting location and VESA 600 x 400 spec which made the swap super convenient. After a quick setup, some updates, and signing into my Google account to get Gemini and the Google TV apps working it was off to the races. Right out of the box it looks perfect to me, and I only changed a few sounds settings for my AV receiver and game mode settings for my consoles. It is smooth, VRR works flawlessly on my Xbox Series X, and playing Forza Horizon 6 on this big, bright smooth screen is an awesome experience. Dark movies look fantastic, as it produces clean blacks with no blooming issues and has high enough contrast to make everything pop even on challenging space epics such as Interstellar. It works with my Google home and Apple HomeKit services allowing me to power it on and change inputs or volume from the Apple home app or view my Nest cameras directly on the screen. It has all the built-in streaming apps you might expect, such as Disney+, HBO, Amazon, Netflix and more. From a hardware perspective, there are 4 HDMI ports, the first two support 144hz VRR, the 3rd is still 2.1 but doesn’t have the higher refresh rate, and the last is the HDMI-eARC port which I have connected to my receiver for surround sound. The onboard speakers are Bang Olufsen and sound great for TV speakers. Using eARC to my Denon receiver passes through a high-quality Dolby signal and has improved my sound system overall compared to the previous screen I was using. It has WiFi and Ethernet, and a couple USB ports as well. The remote is simple but functional and uses both IR and Bluetooth for controlling the TV. I’m incredibly impressed and thrilled with the way this screen looks, and how well it works. It is the total package at a terrific value and even gives my smaller OLEDs a run for their money on overall screen quality. I absolutely recommend it.

The Good: * Massive cinematic experience: An 85-inch screen completely changes the feel of movies, sports, and gaming. It creates a theater-like setup without needing to spend OLED-level money. * Outstanding brightness and HDR impact: This TV gets extremely bright, which makes HDR content stand out with strong highlights and vivid detail. Even in a well-lit room, the picture remains clear and colorful without looking faded. * Great contrast for a Mini-LED panel: The local dimming performs very well, producing deep blacks and strong contrast that give movies and games a more premium look than typical LED TVs. * Excellent for gaming: With support for 144Hz refresh rate, VRR, ALLM, and HDMI 2.1, this TV feels built for modern gaming. Gameplay feels smooth and responsive, and motion handling has been excellent in my testing. * Smooth and easy-to-use smart interface: Google TV runs quickly and includes all the major streaming apps. Navigation feels snappy, and voice controls work reliably. * Strong color performance: Colors look rich and vibrant while still appearing natural. Animated content and HDR movies especially benefit from the wide color range and brightness. The Bad (by no means actually bad, but relatively speaking): * Viewing angles could be better: Picture quality drops slightly when sitting far to the side, especially compared to higher-end OLED displays. * Audio is just ok: The built-in speakers are fine for everyday use, but this TV really benefits from pairing it with a dedicated audio system. * Minor blooming in dark scenes: You can occasionally notice slight halos around bright objects against black backgrounds, though it’s fairly controlled overall. Otherwise black levels are fantastic. Overall: This feels like one of the strongest big-screen TV values available right now. In everyday use, it delivers impressive brightness, strong gaming performance, and excellent contrast for the price category. If you want a huge 85-inch display with premium-style features without paying flagship OLED prices, the QM7L is an easy recommendation.
