Our take on the LED-75P79L TCL 75" QLED 4K GOOGLE TV

The TCL P79L is a 75-inch 4K QLED Google TV with a 120Hz VRR panel, Dolby Vision and HDR10+ support, and hands-free voice control. Its AiPQ processor, wide-color QLED layer and HVA panel with enhanced contrast aim at bright living rooms and big-screen movie nights, while Game Bar, ALLM and 120Hz VRR target console gamers. It sits below TCL's mini-LED QM series in peak brightness and local dimming, so it competes on size and features rather than black-level depth. The 2.0-channel 20W speakers with Dolby Atmos and DTS Virtual:X are serviceable but a soundbar is a sensible add.

Questions and answers

Is the TCL P79L good for gaming?

Yes. It has a 120Hz VRR panel, ALLM and a Game Bar overlay, plus three HDMI inputs. It lacks the 144Hz and mini-LED brightness of TCL's higher QM models, but it covers the basics for PS5 and Xbox Series X.

Does it have local dimming?

No. The P79L uses a direct-lit LED backlight with contrast enhancement rather than full-array local dimming. Blacks and HDR highlights are weaker than on mini-LED sets like TCL's QM series.

What is the refresh rate?

The panel runs at 120Hz with VRR and supports 120Hz DLG; MEMC motion smoothing runs at 60Hz. That makes it a better fit for consoles than 60Hz budget TVs.

Does it run Google TV?

Yes. It uses Google TV with hands-free voice control, Chromecast built in and AirPlay 2 for Apple devices. The 2GB RAM and 16GB storage are on the lean side for heavy app libraries.

What is in the box?

The TV, a stand, a remote and power cable are standard. A wall mount and HDMI cables are not included, so plan for those separately.

How bright is it?

TCL rates it at 450 nits typical. That is fine for dim rooms and most living rooms, but HDR highlights will not pop like they do on brighter mini-LED models.
