Our take on the TCL 43Q651G 43" 4k Smart QLED HDTV
The TCL Q651G is a 43-inch 4K QLED smart TV with Google TV built in. Quantum dots and HDR support give it punchier color and contrast than plain LED sets at the same size, and the Google TV interface covers the major streaming apps with voice search. It suits a bedroom, small living room or secondary room where 43 inches is enough. Against rivals like the Hisense U6 series, it trades some peak brightness and local dimming for a simpler panel, so it is a solid everyday set rather than a serious home-theater display.
- QLED quantum-dot panel gives wider, more saturated color than standard LED
- 4K resolution with HDR support for streaming and discs
- Google TV with voice remote and all major apps built in
- Three HDMI inputs, including one for higher-frame-rate gaming
- Compact 43-inch size fits small rooms and wall mounts

What reviewers say
Owners of TCL's Q-series sets generally call them good value for the size, with strong color and an easy Google TV interface. Criticism tends to focus on black levels, brightness and sound rather than the panel's color.
- Picture colorPraisedOwners say the QLED panel produces bright, saturated color that stands out in this size class.
- Black levelsCriticisedWithout local dimming, dark scenes look gray and lose detail, according to critics.
- BrightnessMixedIt is bright enough for a dim room, but HDR highlights do not pop the way they do on brighter sets.
Questions and answers
- Is the TCL 43Q651G good for a bedroom?
- Yes. At 43 inches it fits most bedrooms, and the QLED color is a step up from basic LED sets. Keep in mind it is not very bright and its black levels are average.
- Does it have local dimming?
- No. The Q651G uses a direct-lit panel without local dimming, so contrast in dark scenes is limited compared with sets that have full-array dimming.
- How many HDMI ports does it have?
- It has three HDMI inputs, one of which supports higher frame rates for consoles. That is enough for a streaming stick, a console and a soundbar or receiver.
- Does it run Google TV?
- Yes. Google TV is built in, with the major streaming apps and voice search through the remote. Setup is straightforward over Wi-Fi.
- Should I add a soundbar?
- Most owners should. The built-in speakers are thin, and a budget soundbar noticeably improves dialogue and bass for movies.
- Is it worth it over a cheaper 4K LED TV?
- If you want stronger color and Google TV in a small size, yes. If you care most about black levels and HDR brightness, a set with local dimming is the better pick.
