TCL S Class 55" 4K Google TV vs TCL QM7L 55" 4K Mini LED Google TV

The QM7L is the better TV. Mini LED backlighting with local dimming gives it much deeper blacks, higher brightness and far better contrast than the S Class edge-lit panel, and its 144Hz panel with gaming features suits consoles and PCs. The S Class is a solid budget 4K set with Google TV and wide HDR format support, but it is a 60Hz direct-lit TV that looks washed out in bright rooms and dim in dark ones. Buy the QM7L unless the S Class is all your room and viewing habits need.

• Choose the S Class if you want a simple 55-inch Google TV for casual streaming in a dim room and you do not game or watch many dark scenes.
• Choose the QM7L if you care about picture quality, watch movies with dark scenes, game on a console or PC, or have a bright room.
