Which is better for gaming, the TCL QM7K or the Sony BRAVIA 3?

The TCL. Its 144 Hz panel, Game Accelerator 288 and Auto Game Mode support high frame rates and low latency. The Sony is 60 Hz, which caps smoothness on fast games.

Is the TCL QM7K worth $700 more than the Sony BRAVIA 3?

If you want a big, bright picture for sports and movies, yes. You get 20 more inches, local dimming and far higher brightness. If you sit close in a dim room, the Sony is enough.

Which has better picture quality?

The TCL wins on contrast, brightness and HDR impact thanks to Mini LED dimming. The Sony wins on out-of-the-box color accuracy and upscaling of lower-resolution content.

Which is better for a bright room?

The TCL. At up to 3000 nits HDR it holds up against window light. The Sony's standard LED backlight is dimmer and washes out more in a sunlit room.

Do both run Google TV?

Yes. Both use Google TV with Google Assistant, so apps and voice search work the same way. The TCL adds Dolby Atmos and DTS Virtual:X audio processing.

Neither maker publishes a lifespan figure, and both should run many years. The TCL's higher brightness puts more stress on its backlight, so a dim room and moderate brightness settings help either set.
