Our take on the TCL 65QM851G 65" 4K HDR Smart Mini-LED QLED Google TV (2024)
The TCL QM85 is a 65-inch 4K QLED TV with Mini-LED backlighting, local dimming and Google TV built in. It is TCL's step below the flagship QM89, so it keeps high brightness and wide color for HDR films and games without the top-tier price. Dolby Atmos and four HDMI inputs, one at 144Hz for gaming, make it a strong all-round set. Reviewers rate its brightness and contrast highly for the money but note that off-angle viewing and out-of-the-box picture settings need work.
- Mini-LED backlight with local dimming gives deep blacks and high peak brightness
- QLED layer keeps colors vivid and wide for HDR content
- Google TV with hands-free voice and broad app support
- Four HDMI ports, including a 144Hz gaming input
- Dolby Atmos decoding and eARC for soundbars
