Community Reviews
This 85 inch TCL Q6 series is a budget large screen focused on contrast and brightness, with the Q651G seen as only a small step up from the Costco Q77K. It sits well below OLEDs in picture quality, motion handling, and upscaling, and it is not the kind of set that solves a very bright room. The current price also draws hesitation because the 120 hertz refresh rate is not available at this level, though it has reportedly dipped to around $680 before. A solid value play if size matters more than premium picture quality.
Common Questions (4)
It is not the best fit for an extremely bright room, and OLEDs also struggle with glare when sunlight hits the screen. For very bright spaces, mini-LED models are favored because they can deliver more punchy brightness and stronger HDR impact.
The Costco Q77K is described as a low-end TV, while this Q651G/Q6-Series is only a small step up with somewhat better contrast and brightness. It is not a major jump in picture quality, so the main appeal is still the 85-inch size at a low price.
An LG OLED is far better for contrast, color accuracy, motion smoothing, and upscaling because each pixel lights independently. The TCL is a low-end picture-quality option by comparison, though OLED can be less ideal in very bright rooms because of glare and lower peak brightness.
The price has reportedly fallen to about $680 before, so waiting for another dip is a reasonable strategy if you are not in a hurry. At the current price, the lack of 120Hz refresh rate is a common reason to hold off.

Also, our sony bravia kdl-46x1000 flagship was very nice in 2005 so in 10-15 years from now, if a flagship Sony or LG is ever within 30% cost of a mid high-end, I'll probably buy it. If it remains 100% more expensive, than I'm happy with dimming the lights and seeing gorgeous perfection of a mid high-end OLED TV.

Generally speaking
Sony flagships have been at the top of ratings for as long as I can remember and they have never been a good value
But people buy them anyway
The value that you put on the difference is clearly not the value they put on the difference
