Is the TCL Q6 good for gaming?

Yes. It has a 120 Hz panel, Game Accelerator 120 and Auto Game Mode for low latency, plus four HDMI ports. It lacks variable refresh rate on some sizes, so check the spec sheet for your size.

Does the TCL Q6 have local dimming?

No. It uses a direct LED backlight without local dimming, so black levels are its main weakness compared with Mini LED sets like TCL's QM series.

Which HDR formats does it support?

Dolby Vision, HDR10+, HDR10 and HLG. That is broader HDR support than many rivals at this tier, which often skip Dolby Vision or HDR10+.

Does it work with Alexa and Google Assistant?

Yes. Google Assistant is built into Google TV, and the set also works with Amazon Alexa devices for voice control.

How does it compare with the TCL QM6?

The QM6 adds Mini LED backlighting with local dimming for deeper blacks and higher brightness. The Q6 costs less and keeps the same QLED color and Google TV platform.

Our take on the TCL Class Q6 QLED 4K UHD HDR Smart Google TV 43-inch

The TCL Q6 is a QLED 4K Google TV that sits in TCL's value tier, above the entry-level S-series and below the Mini LED QM models. It uses quantum dots, a direct LED backlight with HDR10+, HDR10, HLG and Dolby Vision, and a 120 Hz panel with MEMC motion smoothing. The Google TV platform carries all major streaming apps and works with Google Assistant and Alexa, and Game Accelerator 120 with Auto Game Mode lowers latency for consoles. It suits budget-conscious buyers who want wide HDR format support and gaming features without paying Mini LED money; reviewers note it is bright for its class but contrast and black levels trail Mini LED sets.
