Our take on the TCL Class Q5-Series 65" 4K Ultra HDR Smart QLED Fire TV

The TCL Q5-Series is a 65-inch 4K QLED smart TV running Amazon's Fire TV platform. QLED's quantum-dot layer gives it wider color and higher brightness than the basic LED sets it competes with, and Fire TV bundles Alexa voice search and the major streaming apps without a separate stick. It suits buyers who want a big-screen living-room TV with built-in streaming and hands-free voice, but it is a value-tier set: expect average black levels and modest motion handling next to Mini-LED and OLED rivals.

Questions and answers

Is the TCL Q5-Series good for gaming?

It handles casual console play at 4K, but the 60Hz panel and lack of HDMI 2.1 features like variable refresh rate make it a step behind gaming-focused TVs.

Does it need a streaming stick?

No. Fire TV is built in, so Netflix, Prime Video, Disney+ and other apps run on the TV, and the remote has Alexa voice search.

How does it compare with TCL's Mini-LED models?

The Q5 is edge-lit without local dimming, so its blacks and contrast are weaker. Mini-LED sets cost more but handle dark scenes and highlights better.

What is in the box?

The TV, its stand feet, a Fire TV voice remote and power cable. A wall mount and HDMI cables are not included.

Does it support HDR formats?

It supports HDR10. It does not add Dolby Vision or HDR10+, which some rival sets at this level offer.

Is a soundbar needed?

Most owners find the built-in speakers fine for news and casual viewing, but a soundbar clearly improves movies and music.
