Is the TCL Q6LR good for gaming?

It is fine for casual console play, but the 60 Hz refresh rate and lack of HDMI 2.1 features mean it is not built for high-frame-rate gaming. Serious gamers should look at 120 Hz sets.

Does it have local dimming?

No. The Q6LR is an edge-lit QLED without local dimming, so black levels are its weakest point in dark rooms.

What is the difference from TCL's QM or Q7 series?

Those step-up lines add local dimming, higher brightness and smoother motion. The Q6LR is the entry QLED tier, focused on color and value.

Which voice assistants work with it?

It supports Google Assistant, Amazon Alexa and Siri through Roku's voice features and compatible devices.

How many HDMI ports does it have?

Three HDMI inputs, plus USB, Ethernet, optical audio and RF connections.

Is the 85-inch version the same TV as the smaller sizes?

Yes, the Q6LR line shares the same QLED panel technology and Roku platform across sizes, though picture uniformity can vary on very large panels.

Our take on the TCL Q6LR Series QLED 4K UHD Smart Roku TV 85-inch

The TCL Q6LR is a QLED 4K Roku TV sold in a range of sizes, up to a very large 85-inch screen. Quantum-dot QLED gives it fuller color than plain LED sets at the same tier, and Roku's interface is one of the easiest to learn. It is a 60 Hz panel with three HDMI ports and no local dimming, so it suits everyday streaming, sports and family rooms rather than dark-room movie watching or fast gaming. Against rivals like Hisense's U6 and U7 lines, it trades brightness and motion handling for simple setup and a big-screen option at the entry level.
