Our take on the TCL Class Q5 85" 4K Ultra HDR Smart QLED Fire TV
The TCL Q5 is an 85-inch 4K QLED smart TV running Amazon's Fire TV interface. QLED's quantum-dot layer gives it higher brightness and wider color than the plain LED panels on budget big-screen rivals, and Dolby Atmos support adds height to movie sound. It suits buyers who want the biggest screen for a living room or media room and already live in Amazon's ecosystem. Against step-up sets like the TCL QM6 or QM7 it gives up local dimming and peak brightness, so HDR highlights and black levels are weaker.
- QLED quantum-dot panel for stronger color and brightness than basic LED
- 85-inch screen gives a cinematic, room-filling picture
- Fire TV built in, with Alexa voice control and major streaming apps
- Dolby Atmos support for height in movie soundtracks
- Four HDMI inputs cover a console, soundbar and streaming box

What reviewers say
Owners of TCL's large QLED sets generally praise the size and color for the money, while noting that dark-room contrast and HDR impact fall short of pricier models.
- Picture contrastCriticisedOwners say dark scenes look washed out because the panel has no local dimming.
- ColorPraisedReviewers like the saturated QLED color on sports and streaming shows.
- SoundCriticisedBuilt-in speakers are described as thin, with most owners adding a soundbar.
Questions and answers
- Does the TCL Q5 have local dimming?
- No. It is a direct-lit QLED panel without local dimming, so black levels and contrast are weaker than on TCL's QM-series sets.
- Is 85 inches too big for a normal living room?
- It needs a wide wall and roughly 9 to 12 feet of viewing distance to feel comfortable. Measure the wall and the path into the room before buying.
- Does it support Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos?
- It handles HDR10 and Dolby Atmos audio. Dolby Vision support varies by model year, so check the specific set you receive.
- How many HDMI ports does it have?
- Four HDMI inputs, enough for a console, a streaming stick and a soundbar over eARC.
- Do I need a soundbar?
- Most owners add one. The built-in speakers handle news fine but lack weight for movies.
- Can I control it with Alexa?
- Yes. Fire TV has Alexa built in, so you can use voice search and smart-home commands through the remote.
