Which is better for gaming?

The TCL QM6K. It has a 144Hz native panel, VRR up to 288 with Game Accelerator, and four HDMI ports. The Philips is 60Hz, which caps fast games at 60 frames per second.

Is the TCL worth $299.99 more?

For a bright room, dark-room movies or gaming, yes. Mini LED local dimming and Dolby Vision IQ are visible upgrades over the Philips edge-lit panel. If you just want a big screen at the lowest price, the Philips is fine.

Which has better contrast in a dark room?

The TCL. Local Dimming Pro and the HVA panel's 7000:1 native contrast keep blacks dark. The Philips has no local dimming, so dark scenes look washed out.

Which is better for a bright living room?

The TCL. High Brightness Pro and Dolby Vision IQ handle glare better. The Philips QLED is bright enough for casual daytime viewing but has less headroom.

Do both work with Alexa and Google Assistant?

Yes. Both list Google Assistant, Amazon Alexa and Siri support. The TCL adds Apple HomeKit.

Which has better sound out of the box?

The TCL. Its Onkyo 2.1 system with a subwoofer and 40W total output plus Dolby Atmos beats the Philips built-in speakers. A soundbar is still worth adding to either.
