TCL Q6 Series QLED 4K Google TV (55Q651G) vs Samsung M70H 55" 4K Mini LED TV

The TCL Q6 is the stronger pick for most people. It adds Dolby Vision, HDR10+ and HLG, a quantum-dot QLED panel, MEMC motion smoothing and Google TV with AirPlay 2 and Chromecast built in. The Samsung M70H has the higher owner rating and a Mini LED backlight, but its listing shows no local dimming, no Dolby Vision and a plain 60 Hz panel. Buy the TCL for film and streaming variety; buy the Samsung if you trust the larger review base and prefer its panel.

  • Choose the TCL Q6 if you watch Dolby Vision movies, want HDR10+ and HLG coverage, and want Google TV with AirPlay 2 and Chromecast built in.
  • Choose the Samsung M70H if you want a Mini LED backlight and the confidence of a much larger owner review base.

Questions and answers

Which is better for watching movies in a dark room?
The Samsung M70H, on paper, because its Mini LED backlight can drive brighter highlights. Neither lists local dimming, so both will show some gray in black scenes. The TCL wins on format support with Dolby Vision.
Which has better HDR?
The TCL Q6. It supports Dolby Vision, HDR10+, HDR10 and HLG, which covers most streaming libraries. The Samsung listing shows HDR but not Dolby Vision or HDR10+.
Which is better for gaming?
Both are 60 Hz panels, so neither is a high-frame-rate gaming set. The TCL adds MEMC and a Game Accelerator mode with auto low latency. The Samsung has no game features listed.
Is the Samsung worth stepping up to over the TCL?
Only if Mini LED brightness matters more to you than format support. The TCL gives you Dolby Vision, better motion processing and more inputs. The Samsung gives you a brighter backlight and a stronger owner rating.
Which lasts longer?
Neither maker publishes a lifespan figure, and both use LED backlights with similar panel sizes. The Samsung's larger review base gives more reliability signal, but the TCL's 4.2 rating is still solid.
Do both work with Alexa and Google Assistant?
Yes. Both list Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa support. The TCL also lists Siri and Apple AirPlay 2, which the Samsung does not.
