FPD 65-inch Smart 4K UHD TV vs TCL QM8L 98" SQD-Mini LED Google TV

These are not really rivals: the FPD is a basic 65-inch 4K LED TV, while the TCL QM8L is a 98-inch Mini LED flagship. Buy the FPD if you want a normal-sized TV for a bedroom or a modest living room and simple streaming. Buy the TCL if you have the wall space and want a cinema-scale picture with deep blacks, high brightness and strong built-in sound. The FPD is a budget-class set with a 60 Hz panel, 330 nits and two speakers; the TCL has 144 Hz, up to 6,000 nits, 4,000+ dimming zones and Bang & Olufsen audio. The TCL's higher owner rating comes from far more ratings, but it is heavy at 123.5 lb and needs a large room.

• Choose the FPD if you want a straightforward 65-inch 4K smart TV with Tizen apps, voice control and screen mirroring at a modest size.
• Choose the TCL QM8L if you have the wall for a 98-inch screen and want flagship brightness, contrast, motion and sound for movies and sports.
