Basically, this is a Costco-exclusive upgrade of the Q681, which is why it's hard to find reviews of this exact model. The main differences are the upgraded Onkyo 2.1 speakers, the FireTV OS and a 3 year warrantee. It's a huge upgrade from the q651, with the local dimming and brighter picture.

A lot of people here bought these a few months ago when they were clearancing them out of the stores for $400. Most people seemed very happy with them. I got one, and the picture is really great. Very bright and the colors really pop. I mean, it's not as great as some of the $1000-2000 models, but it's $500. (Though it was originally $1300.) I'm very happy with my purchase.

I don't think you'll find a better TV in this price range at this time, unless you find some truly spectacular clearance deal. Probably the next level up you'll find at 75" is the Hisense U7N for $900 (also at Costco.)

I don't imagine that these will last too long, since they're not selling these in the stores any more. This is probably a clearance price.

Note: for anyone trying to put this on a smaller table/stand, the legs can attach in either direction (which isn't mentioned anywhere in the documentation!) When they're facing inwards, it can fit on some smaller stands.
To set your TCL TV to start up on the last input you used, navigate to Settings > System > Power (or Power and Energy on some models) and select "Last Used Input" as your power on behavior; this will automatically turn on your TV to the last input source you were using when you turned it off.
Key points to remember:
Access settings: Press the "Home" button on your remote, then navigate to "Settings".
Find Power settings: Within the settings menu, go to "System" and then select "Power" (or "Power and Energy").
Choose "Last Used Input": Under "Power On Behavior" or a similar option, select "Last Used Input".
This is going to be a better TV vs the 5 series. This set is QLED, has upgraded sound and local dimming. it's in the Q6 series, but this is at the upper end (where it includes the sound and dimming). If this had 120hz refresh rate, it would basically be the Q7.

Wonder how this compares to a TCL Series 5 or Q6.. Looking for a 75" tv around $500 price point. Sucks trying to pick the best one in this price range, but it's just the budget I have set.

Ordered one. Thanks, OP and DavidHH.
I will hook it up with a desktop pc. Hope that will make the sluggish OS problem (as many reviewers complained) an irrelevant issue.

I got this just earlier this month and its amazing. Sound quality is really good especially with the built in Onkyo speakers that is members' exclusive. Go for it. I had the exact same budget in mind for a bigger TV and it did not disappoint at all. I am not a gamer so dont miss the 120Hz.

I wanted to grab this but the only one I could find locally (St. Louis) was a store return. Most of the negative reviews on this seem to come from a problem where the panel separates from the housing. The store return I found had this very issue. Not a problem considering the warranty, but just something to be aware of. If I could find a new one locally, I would have bought it, but I ultimately ended up with the S5 which if fine for the garage man-cave.

Sam's has what appears to be the same tv for the same price if some of you don't have a Costco membership or club that's close by. Also comes with a 3-year warranty.

The only difference I can see is that the Sam's model has the "G" designation at the end instead of the "F" like the Costco set.

*Edited. Same Onkyo speaker system is included in the Sam's model too unlike what I had originally thought. Link added.

Is there a shipping charge for non-plus members at Sam's?

BE CAREFUL IT MIGHT NOT BE THE SAME MODEL AS COSTCO. "Model 75Q691F" was made especially for COSTCO . It has the LOCAL DIMMING that the other model doesn't have.

i bought this from store for 499 initially in Nov2024, then it was lowered to $399 same month.. so price matched at the store.

bought additional 2 years warranty for an extra 60$ or so.. got total 5 years warranty.

here is my feedback after using 2+ months:
1. its worth for the price (below 500$) for a 75" for QNED (where other brands selling high of 700$)
2. its relatively slow in processing.. sometimes i see part of screen gets black while navigating the HDMI ports and/or going back to Home screen.
3. this runs on FireTV - no feedback from me, as i always use Apple TV
4. Overall i see the TV is bit slower in performance and see this occationaly (not a frequent) but i never use for gaming, so i am okay

Overall I will keep it even minor problems compared to price,warranty.

You don't have to yell. Also, it does have full array local dimming with 500 zones. Scroll through the pictures.

It says it has Google TV so it can't be the same model as Costco because theirs is Fire tv

I can't find and model number. Can you post it?


Maybe it's this one because it has Google TV.

The one at Sam's club has a model number 75Q691G and has similar specs minus the Google OS.
