Great Picture Quality, Affordability, and Value
As an avid enthusiast of home entertainment, I recently purchased the TCL Q7 85" TV, and I must say, it's fantastic. It's a perfect blend of cutting-edge technology, sleek design, and affordability, making it a true standout in the market. Upon turning on the TCL Q7 and adjusting a few settings picture clarity was stunning. The 85-inch display boasts 4K resolution and Quantum Dot technology, delivering a mesmerizing level of detail, vibrant colors, and impressive contrast. Whether watching movies, playing video games, or streaming YouTube TV, the visual experience was nothing short of captivating. The deep blacks and bright highlights make every scene come to life. While the TCL Q7 offers remarkable picture quality, it falls just short of the QM8 series and OLEDS. Despite this, the TCL Q7 impressively holds its own and delivers an exceptional visual experience that is a testament to its engineering at a much more budget-friendly price point. Another aspect that caught my attention was the elegantly designed bezels and small TCL logo. TCL has managed to keep the bezels incredibly thin, which adds a touch of sophistication to the TV's overall appearance. The minimalistic bezels seamlessly blend into the screen, providing an expansive view and enhancing the sense of immersion (especially with 85"). The TCL Q7 comes with a user-friendly remote control that further enhances the overall viewing experience. The remote comes with a backlit design, making it easy to use in low-light conditions. No more fumbling around in the dark to find the right buttons – the backlit feature ensures that every control is clearly visible and accessible, adding to the convenience of using the TV at any time of the day. Its ergonomic design also provides a comfortable and satisfying feel in your hands. While the TCL remote offers an excellent experience, I prefer using a Firestick remote for the TCL Q7 85" TV along with my other 4 TVs which gives me a streamlined experience for one TV to another. My two issues are when connected to my Vizio m512a-h6 soundbar the numerical volume doesn't display on the TV and my firestick has trouble switching inputs on the TV with voice commands, certainly not deal breakers, nonetheless annoying. This TV comes equipped with HDMI ports that support different refresh rates, providing the selection that works perfect for me. One of the HDMI inputs supports 144Hz refresh rate, making it ideal for connecting high-performance devices. Another HDMI input supports a 120Hz refresh rate, which is perfect for gaming consoles and high-refresh-rate content. While cross shopping others like the Hisense U7K, I was particularly glad to find that the Earc port on the TCL Q7 is not taken by one of the high-refresh-rate HDMI inputs. This means I can enjoy high-quality audio through Earc while still utilizing the TV's 120hz refresh rate capabilities through the other high refresh HDMI ports. In conclusion, the TCL Q7 85" TV is a true gem in the world of home entertainment. While it may not feature Mini LED like the QM8 series or OLED, it offers an exceptional visual experience that comes remarkably close at a much more affordable price. Its breathtaking QLED picture clarity, sleek bezels, backlit remote, varied HDMI inputs, and the abundance of features make it a top-tier choice for those seeking a premium cinematic experience without paying a premium price. TCL has cemented its place as a champion of value, innovation, and visual excellence. TCL partnering with the NFL will soon turn them into a household name with the likes of Samsung, Sony and LG.

Bigger is better
You want a huge tv for games and movies at a good price? Look no further. Ps5 looks great on game mode at 120fps. Ive seen some reviews knock the tv about its reflective screen in bright rooms. It looks outstanding in my man-cave basement. For twice the money you could purchase a smaller lg or Sony OLED and get a tv that looks only slightly better to the normal person. I’d spend the savings on a stereo system or a quality sound bar. The google os is also very fast, much more so than my old hisense h9g. My only negative is how wide the feet are apart on the tv. Good luck finding a stand wide enough to place this bad boy. I thought I might be able to switch the feet and point them inward, that’s a no go. They must be towed out. Overall love the tv, awesome value in picture quality, and size for the$$$

Early days, but Great so far!!
Hesitant at first because TCL is not a brand I am overly familiar with. Bought it despite reservation but absolutely purchased the 5-year protection plan. After setting it up, the picture and sound quality are great. Took me a bit to fumble through the settings/remote at first but it’s all pretty user friendly and straight forward. Most of the time the TV is on with sports, kids shows or XBox. 120Hz refresh offers distinct advantage in online gameplay, especially in FPS games. Crystal clear picture and sound. 5 star review, as long as it holds up.
