Our take on the TCL 55” QM7L Series SQD-Mini LED QLED Smart Google TV

The TCL QM7L is a 55-inch 4K Google TV built on a mini-LED backlight with up to 2,100+ dimming zones and up to 3,000 peak nits, so HDR highlights and dark scenes hold up well for the price. It runs a 144Hz native panel with Motion Rate 480, making it a strong pick for sports and console gaming, and adds Bang & Olufsen-tuned audio with Dolby Atmos FlexConnect. The best new price is $699.99 at Best Buy as of November 7, 2026, with three stores listing it new.

Questions and answers

Is the TCL QM7L good for gaming?
Yes. It has a 144Hz native panel with Motion Rate 480 and a game mode, which suits PS5 and Xbox Series X at high frame rates. Check that your console's 4K 120Hz output is enabled in its settings.
How does the QM7L compare with the QM7K?
