First deal post! Also first time I've seen a QLED of this size at this price point. Description at walmart.com says "Features our QLED Nanocrystals technology resulting in a super vivid color and contrast experience. The Quantum Processor features a powerful processor to optimize screen brightness and sound control. Quantum dot display boasts 100 - percent colour volume to bring you living color in both Bright and dark scenes.". I wanted an inexpensive 65" to replace the older 43" in our den area. Saw some other 65s had been posted around the $400 price point here and heard that Hisense recently upgraded to quantum dot technology in its H8G series. While I couldn't find a 65" of that particular model at a similar price point, I stumbled upon this one which looks quite comparable and has my preferred Roku OS as well. Hope this is useful to others here!

I thought that was a Samsung trademark for its Quantum dot display panels?
...is RCA purchasing their factory reject panels.
Consumer Reports says that its HDR10.
I personally can't justify it over my tcl 4 series 65" but if it had 120hz I would, bet the picture is twice that of mine
Scroll to the bottom. Looks like limited HDR and 60hz if these matter to you.
Also says LED??? Looks to be the same model number.

"RCA has been an up-and-down TV brand in our ratings, but this 65-inch 4K LED-backlit LCD smart TV from RCA, a Roku TV model, does fairly well, with very good overall HD and 4K picture quality. However, it has very limited HDR performance, a fairly narrow viewing angle, and below-average sound quality. Also, RCA has among the worst customer satisfaction scores of any tested brand. Thanks to the Roku TV smart TV platform, it has access to a lot of streaming services, and it includes support for both Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant voice-powered digital assistant, as well as Apple's Siri. It comes with a basic Roku remote control, but you can use the Roku mobile app on your smartphone to use voice commands."

HD Picture Quality: 4/5, UHD Picture Quality: 4/5, HDR Quality (HDR10): 2/5

How does one save money by paying $50 more for a Westinghouse non quantum panel?
This is the most information I can find on this TV.

Because it uses Roku firmware, you can expect that it's not super custom in design.
They probably just use the QLED technology Samsung employs, where it's a non-integral film that aids a full array of standard LED backlights.
As for HDR support, I'm willing to bet it supports it, but it doesn't look very good.
I bought one on January 6th. It does have HDR - but you are right, it isn't great. The settings are very limited - think "bright, normal, or dark". But it isn't bad. There is definitely ghosting (I think that's the term) on very dark scenes. White clouds in the corners of the screen which is annoying. Also, as you'd expect, the picture is bad in a bright room. Cloudy is ok but it hates the sun! I tend to watch movies at night so it works for me. All in all for $450ish I am pleased. It arrived in like two days and was in perfect condition. For the money I'd recommend it.
