Is the TCL Q Class good for gaming?

It handles casual console play, but the 60 Hz panel caps fast games at 60 fps and it lacks the 120 Hz and variable refresh rate of TCL's QM-series mini-LED models. Competitive gamers should look higher in the lineup.

How does it compare with TCL's mini-LED TVs?

The Q Class uses a standard QLED backlight without local dimming, so contrast and black levels trail the QM-series mini-LED sets. It is the cheaper way into TCL's QLED range with a big screen.

Does it support HDR on all inputs?

HDR is supported, and the four HDMI ports let you connect a console, soundbar and streamers at once. Check each source device's HDR output settings to get the format through.

What streaming apps are built in?

Google TV includes Netflix, Prime Video and Disney+, and you can add others from the Google Play store. Google Assistant voice search works across them.

Is a soundbar needed?

The built-in speakers are fine for news and casual viewing, but for movies a soundbar or external speakers through HDMI or optical audio give a clear upgrade.
