Community Reviews

The TCL QM6K stands out as a bright, budget friendly 4K mini LED TV with strong picture quality, quick response, and surprisingly decent built in sound. The 65 inch model gets praise for vivid colors, deep blacks, low glare in sunny rooms, and solid gaming performance, while the Costco QM6K Pro adds better reflection handling and a five year warranty. The main drawback is motion processing, which can show judder, blur, and trailing artifacts, especially in pans or against dark backgrounds. Firmware updates help some issues, but motion sensitive viewers may still find it frustrating. A strong value pick if motion handling is not your top priority.

Common Questions (5)

  • Costco pricing is around $450-$500 for the 65-inch, and the purchase includes a 5-year warranty that would cost extra at Best Buy. Costco also has the 98-inch at $1,500 shipped and installed with a 5-year warranty, while the store price can be lower but without installation.

  • Yes. The Costco QM6K Pro uses the QM7K/QM8K-style CrystGlow panel, which is reported to handle reflections and glare significantly better than the regular QM6K/QM5K panel. The regular QM6K can be much worse in bright rooms, while the Pro is still best suited to darker setups.

  • A manual firmware update can improve problems like motion handling and flickering, but it may not fully eliminate judder for motion-sensitive viewers. The TV is still described as strong on brightness, colors, blacks, and blooming after updating.

  • If smooth motion is a priority, the QM6K can be a poor fit because it has been described as having bad judder, blur, and trailing artifacts, especially with people moving against dark backgrounds. For viewers who are not sensitive to motion, it is still considered a strong value.

  • The 65-inch is described as impressive for the money, with bright picture quality, deep colors and blacks, minimal blooming, and decent built-in speakers. It also reportedly handles glare well in a sunny living room, though many owners still use a soundbar.

Usually with comparable models eg... TCL QM8K Vs Hisense U8QG
it is best to chose TCL it has a better reliability

Couple of notes on this set. I had the 55" version and ended up returning it. I am sensitive to motion handling, and out of the box, the motion handling on this set is horrendous. I did a manual update to the firmware via thumb and the motion handling improved a lot, but I still could not tolerate it. So, I returned it and bought the 55" Panasonic Z85 which was more expensive, but I don't think I would have been satisfied with any set under $500 (I paid $400 for the QM6K).

That being said, there is plenty to love about this TV. With the exception of motion handling, this TV has it all. The blooming is not noticable, it's plenty bright and the colors and blacks are deep and full like an OLED. Most people will love this set, but if you want good motion handling, look elsewhere.

Which store locations? By me I'm seeing $1999

Costco in-store vs online typically have a $200 price difference for large TVs due to shipping and installation.

What is "motion handling"? You can turn off all motion blur and clarity settings.

With the QM6K, it has really bad judder. This is where image processing is really important and why updating the TCL firmware has an impact. It's mostly noticable to me with the TCL when people are walking around or heads are moving, especially against a dark background. There is some blur and trailing artifacts, even with all motion and clarity settings off. I spent 60 days with this TV trying to resolve the issues with poor motion handling, because I really love everything else about this set, but ultimately, TCL has some work to do on their image processing. Honestly, it is an awesome set for the price point, and like I said before, it will be great for people who are not sensitive to motion handling. If you are interested, my advice would be to give it a try, but be prepared to return it if you are not satisfied.
