Recently bought the 65" from Costco and I am blown away with the picture and response time! Unbelievable for the price. Highly recommend

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.

people buying a 65" TCL for a bright living room because commenters say they got minimal glare and were impressed with the picture and response time for the price.

Costco members who want a large-screen deal with long coverage because commenters report the 98" (and 65" options) being $1500 shipped/installed with a 5-year warranty, and that the Costco price includes the extra warranty versus paying more elsewhere.
bjsguess cinematic6436
people who are not very motion-sensitive and mainly care about brightness/colors for movies and everyday viewing because commenters say the set is "awesome for the price" and will be great for people who are not sensitive to motion handling.
Forerunner343 Forerunner343
buyers who are willing to manually update firmware if needed because commenters report flickering being completely solved after updating the firmware to v321 via USB, while still loving the picture quality for the money.

Xbox players looking for a good-value gaming TV because one commenter specifically says they love the 65" from Costco, especially for playing Xbox, and that the sound is decent.
gambit622

people who are sensitive to motion handling (judder/blur) because commenters say the out-of-the-box motion handling is "horrendous" or has "really bad judder," and even after firmware updates they couldn't tolerate it and returned it.
Forerunner343 Forerunner343
buyers who watch in a dark room with any front light source because commenters say the Pro's reflection handling is "truly awful," with rainbow refraction bands across the screen when there's a light source in front of the TV.
mark5hs
people who want the best reflection performance without paying for the Pro because commenters say the non-Pro reflection handling is much worse than the Pro, to the point that it can be "appalling" compared to the Pro's better glare handling.
ShieldsPC
buyers who need installation included at the listed price because commenters note that Costco's store price may be lower but can come with no installation and self pickup.

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.
cinematic6436 cinematic6436 c137 MellowBelieve5830
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.
JollyAction1176 ShieldsPC cinematic6436 mark5hs
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.
Forerunner343 Forerunner343 ShieldsPC Forerunner343
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.
Forerunner343 Forerunner343 Forerunner343 Forerunner343
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.

I should have snagged it last night. Was mulling it over when the price jumped $600.

It's kind of crazy that the price is so low for such a large TV with good tech. Every thing else gets more expensive but TVs.

I bought the 65 during their Super Bowl sale and the TV is amazing. I'm sure there's TVs out there way better for way more money but for the price it's incredible. The built in speakers are actually decent (although we use a soundbar) and we have a pretty sunny living room and there's very minimal glare from the sun.

Costo has the 65" QM6K Pro (better reflection handling, same everything else) with an extended warranty (5yr total) for $499. Better TV, lower price.

Quote from Forerunner343

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.

My 65" QM6K Pro had seriously bad flickering out of the box. Manually updating the firmware to v321 with a USB stick completely solved it. I absolutely love this TV. Paid $529 at Costco. I'm blown away by the picture quality for the money.

I have the Pro and the reflection handling is truly awful. I regret buying it. Any lightsource in front of the tv in dark scenes not only shows but has rainbow refraction bands going all across the screen. It'd be a great tv for a dark home theater room but Id stay away for any other use case.

I had a 42" Samsung over a decade ago that had no smoothing options in the settings so a slow pan of a landscape in a movie looked unacceptably jagged. I upgraded to the 52" version, changed smoothing & judder settings to maybe 20% and I was happy with it.

How long ago was your experience with the QM6K? Maybe TCL fixed it with a firmware update?

I returned it just last week.

Do you remember the version number of the firmware you upgraded to? Also where'd you find it for $400?

It was $450 at costco, but I bought it at the same time as another item that qualified for the costco direct $100 off two items. I updated to V321. I would be doubtful that another update would solve this judder issue completely, though. The processor is likely part of what makes this TV as cheap as it is and thus it will be limited by its hardware. It's impressive that it performs as well as it does.

I'm curious to know if there is a 55" model and if so, how much is that going for on sale?
