Is the TCL 65Q550F good for gaming?

It is a basic option. The panel is 60Hz with no VRR and no high frame rate support, so fast console games will not look as smooth as on a 120Hz set. Casual and single-player gaming is fine.

Does it have local dimming?

No. The 65Q550F has no local dimming, so black levels and contrast are weaker than on mini-LED or full-array sets. Dark scenes will look more washed out.

What streaming system does it use?

It runs Fire TV OS with Alexa built in, and it supports AirPlay 2 for casting from Apple devices. That makes it a natural fit if you already use Amazon or Apple ecosystems.

Can I mount it on a wall?

Yes. It is VESA-mountable and weighs about 33.7 lb without the legs. Check that your mount's VESA pattern matches before buying.

Is $522.99 a good price for this TV?

It is the only new price listed, $522.99 at Best Buy as of November 7, 2026. For a 65-inch QLED with Dolby Vision, that is a low entry price, though you give up local dimming and gaming features.

Our take on the TCL 65Q550F

The TCL 65Q550F is a 65-inch 4K QLED TV running Amazon's Fire TV OS, with Dolby Vision and HDR10+ support and a 60Hz panel. It covers the basics well for streaming and everyday viewing but skips gaming features like VRR and high refresh rate. At $522.99 at Best Buy as of November 7, 2026, it sits at the low end of what a 65-inch QLED typically costs.
