Is the TCL 75Q681 good for gaming?

Yes. It supports VRR and a high refresh rate with low input lag, which suits PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X. Enable game mode on the HDMI input you use.

Does it support Dolby Vision and HDR10+?

Yes. It handles Dolby Vision, HDR10+, HDR10 and HLG, so most streaming HDR content plays in its native format.

What operating system does it run?

Google TV, with Chromecast built in. It also supports AirPlay 2, Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant and Apple HomeKit.

Do I need a soundbar?

The 30W speakers are fine for news and casual viewing, but owners say they sound thin for movies. A soundbar over eARC gives a clear upgrade.

Can it be wall-mounted?

Yes. It has a VESA mount pattern and measures about 65.6 inches wide and 2.8 inches deep without legs.

Is it worth it over a mini-LED TV?

It costs less and still offers local dimming, Dolby Vision and gaming features. Mini-LED sets are brighter with more dimming zones, so choose those if peak brightness matters most.
