On paper, it has a lot of features many should want: QLED, Dolby Vision, Dolby Atmos, and Bluetooth. Also, I miss having the Google TV platform. I would say that it's a winner for a medium sized bedroom or something comparable.

I have the same question. Samsung G7 with kind of same specs runs for around 1k...
As far as using this TV for gaming, it depends on the type of gaming you are going to do. If you do mostly game streaming and console gaming, 60 hertz refresh rate which translate to a Max of 60 frames per second is what you're locked at anyway. If you're getting a display for computer gaming, you just can't appreciate how much 144 HZ or higher makes a difference. Even 120 hertz on something like an Xbox series X for the games that support it, is pretty incredible and for Shooters really drops the input lag. You have to be careful, cuz some TVs will use marketing lingo that says 240 hertz etc etc. But you need to look at the native panel refresh rate usually 60 HZ, occasionally 120 HZ, and just recently there are TVs with 144 Hertz native. The panel native refresh rate or the native 60, 120, 144 Hertz rate is the discrete limit for the possible frames per second in a game. So if you want to run a game at 4K and $120 or $140 hz, this is not the display for you. I would highly recommend prioritizing refresh rate which is to say higher hz over resolution under 4k or 2160p. The experience is much better. Dolby Vision for gaming is better for adventure games or other types of games that don't need low input lag like Call of Duty or other first person shooters. If you want to be competitive at first person shooters get the highest native refresh rate you can at 1080p with no Dolby vision or other processing that will increase input lag.

Pretty interested in this for a bedroom tv! Does anyone know if this is the same unit? I have some best buy gift cards I've been wanting to use and hoping they will price match to the walmart deal/

https://www.bestbuy.com/site/tcl-...Id=6579458

It's a different model number but appears to be the same tv. I'm guessing Best Buy gets its own unique model # the same way Costco does? Thanks all
The one at Best Buy gets quite a bit brighter. Rtings posted the following:

HDR Peak brightness

5 series (Walmart one) 378
6 series (best buy). 495

Every other score was fairly close. If you have a lot of windows, go for the Best Buy one. If not, save $50 and get this one (Walmart).

This is from ratings com

The TCL Q6/Q650G QLED and the TCL Q5/Q550G QLED are very similar TVs, but the Q6 is slightly better in a few ways. The biggest advantage that the Q6 has is in peak brightness. It gets brighter in SDR, so it can fight off glare better. It also gets a bit brighter in HDR, so highlights will pop a little more, but it's still not bright enough to fully take advantage of HDR content. The Q6 also has slightly better HDR gradient handling and PQ EOTF tracking, so there's less banding, and it's more accurate in HDR compared to the Q5.

I don't think they make TVs that can't.

Bought this to use as a computer monitor and will be returning it. In PC mode the whites are off-white at best, if not a bit yellow. It's not very bright, and there's not display ports (which isn't shocking, but disappointing).

I have yet to hear anyone praise their baked in TV UI as being snappy or getting frequent updates. Maybe there are some out there but, personally, I will never buy a TV with the included UI as even a remote part of the decision making process. With all of the high quality, low cost dedicated streaming devices available these days, I'm not sure why people handicap themselves with a UI experience that is an afterthought of many of these companies.

Dedicated streamers are going to be frequently updated and infinitely more enjoyable than these baked in experiences. Just buy for the panel and performance capabilities. Smart options have been gimmicky on most TVs since the beginning.

While this is a good TV for the price, Dolby Vision isn't really a selling point, since it doesn't have true HDR (no dimming zones). HDR will generally look worse than SDR on these TVs, so the mentions of HDR and Dolby Vision are really just for marketing. Misleading marketing aside, which all manufacturers are guilty of, these are great for the price.
What if one has to pay international shipping fee? (Around +$80?) Is it worth $280~290?

Did you go in after and change the temp? I only had to move it 2 spots towards cool and everything looked great. When changing it to PC mode it auto changed and put it full on warm which did make the whites dingy but yeah just move the setting back towards cool a bit and was great. Text is super clear for whoever was asking. My only issue is I can't seem to get the HDR to enable on my PC but I'm thinking it might be the PC I'm using issue. Going to grab my gaming laptop with the Nvidia GPU to see if that changes it. Otherwise I think this is a fantastic tv for a monitor. Perfect for work and design apps along with casual gaming

Text was easy to read, and upon digging into the settings I was able to make whites look great. I will be keeping it and can suggest it now.

You want to play games from the PC? Sure it'll work. Everyone squawking about "only 60hz" 60hz is fine unless you're trying to game competitively, if you just want a big ass screen to play games on 60hz is fine. No one is 4k gaming competitively on a $200 screen because you need a fat $$$ video card to even take advantage of it on a 120 or 144hz screen and again... you spending $1500 for a video card but getting cheap on the monitor? This monitor is fine for what it is, don't expect miracles from a $200 screen and yeah you're good.
