TCL Q5 85" QLED Google TV vs TCL QM6K 75" QD-Mini LED TV

The QM6K is the better TV. Its QD-Mini LED backlight with local dimming produces deeper blacks, higher brightness and less blooming than the Q5's direct-lit QLED panel, and its 144Hz native refresh with four HDMI ports makes it far stronger for gaming and sports. The Q5's only real edge is the larger 85-inch screen, which matters if sheer size is the goal. Reviewers rate the QM6K highly for rich color, a low-glare matte screen and solid build; the Q5's 4.1 rating from a small sample is more mixed.

• Choose the TCL 85" Q Class if you sit far from the TV and want the biggest picture for a bright room, and you don't game or watch much fast sport.
• Choose the TCL 75" QM6K if you want the better picture and motion: deeper blacks, less glare, 144Hz gaming and four HDMI ports.
