They should have come up with a different and unique acronym instead of QLED. QLED too close to OLED.
For the same price
Even upper-tier TVs struggle with it. It shines with external streamers, though.

Q5 Series - Great for Gaming and PC
The TCL Q550F is an okay TV for mixed usage. The TV's contrast is decent, but its HDR brightness is just alright, so it's not very good for dark room usage or for watching HDR content as bright highlights don't really pop, and blacks are raised whenever bright highlights are on screen. On the other hand, its SDR brightness is quite decent, and it has good reflection handling, so it's a solid pick for watching SDR content in a moderately lit room. Unfortunately, the TV has a narrow viewing angle, so it's not a good choice to use in a group setting. Sizes bigger than 50 inches have some modern gaming features like 1080p/1440p @ 120Hz, with a wider VRR range.
It's alright for watching TV shows during the day. The built-in Fire TV smart interface comes loaded with a huge selection of streaming apps, so it's quick and easy to find your favorite shows. It also has Apple AirPlay 2 and Google Chromecast built-in, making casting a show directly from your phone a breeze. While its SDR brightness is only decent, it does have good reflection handling, so it's capable of handling some glare, especially from ambient sources of light. Unfortunately, the TV has a narrow viewing angle, so it's not a good choice for watching shows in a group setting, as anyone not directly in front of the TV has to watch a degraded image. It also has inadequate processing features, so if you watch lower-quality streams or shows on DVD, they aren't as smooth and sharp as they could be.
