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.

This deal can be attractive for buyers who want mini-LED brightness performance without paying flagship OLED pricing.

This TV may suit bright-room viewing better than OLED options that struggle with glare from sunlight.
kcin2 turnne
This TCL Q6-series model can offer better contrast and brightness than the Costco Q77K QLED variant.
kcin2
This purchase can be easier to justify when 85-inch midrange picture quality is the practical ceiling for many budgets.
kcin2

This TCL Q6-series upgrade over the Costco Q77K can be only a small step up overall.
kcin2
This TV may not match OLED performance for pixel-level contrast, color accuracy, motion smoothing, and upscaling.
kcin2
This TV may be a poor fit for extremely bright rooms if glare is a major concern.
kcin2
This deal price may not be justified because the 120Hz refresh rate may not be available at this level.

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.
kcin2 turnne kcin2
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.
kcin2 Slammvp
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.
kcin2 breaktheground
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.

I think there are some real differences in the Sony bravia 9 and the TCL QM8KTo your point..I am sure TCL sells a lot more QM8's than Sony sells bravia 9'sBut to that same point I think there are differences in the top OLED's as wellAnd again, I am sure they sell more cheaper OLED's than they do the flagship OLEDsMeaning, for example, LG sells a lot more B and C series than they do G seriesThose people that are paying extra see the difference and think its worth itI can certainly see the difference in the panels I just mentionedWhether or not if its worth the difference in price is a matter of taste , worth and budgetFlagship anything is never the best value

I have indeed read sales of C series are a lot higher than G series and rtings reviews of their flagship shows brightness numbers are a LOT higher, meaning I wouldn't have to dim my light all the way to get the perfect stunningly gorgeously amazing picture I am getting.

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.

Ok...and clearly some people are willing to pay for what they see as a difference today

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
