Is the TCL QM6K 85-inch good for gaming?

Yes. It has a 120 Hz panel, four HDMI ports and low input lag, which suits PS5 and Xbox Series X at 4K 120 Hz. Check that your console is set to game mode for the lowest lag.

How does the QM6K compare with the TCL QM8?

The QM8 is brighter and has more dimming zones, so it handles HDR highlights and dark scenes better. The QM6K costs less and keeps the same 120 Hz gaming features and Google TV platform.

Do I need a soundbar with the QM6K?

Most reviewers think so. The built-in speakers are fine for news but thin for movies, so a soundbar or a receiver setup makes a clear difference.

Does the QM6K support Dolby Vision and HDR10+?

It supports major HDR formats including Dolby Vision, HDR10 and HDR10+, so it works with most streaming HDR content. HLG is covered for broadcast sources.

What is in the box with the 85-inch QM6K?

You get the TV, a stand, a remote, batteries and a power cable. The 85-inch set is heavy, so plan for two people and check the VESA pattern if you wall-mount.

Will the QM6K fit my wall mount?

It uses a standard VESA pattern, but the 85-inch model is heavy, so pick a mount rated well above its weight. Measure the stud spacing before you buy.

Our take on the TCL QM6K 85-inch

The TCL QM6K is a 4K QD-Mini LED TV with a 120 Hz panel, four HDMI ports and Google TV built in. The 85-inch version is the biggest in the line and the one to pick for a large living room or a bright, wide seating area. It sits below TCL's flagship QM8 series, so it gives up some peak brightness and dimming zones but keeps the gaming features and the wide app support. Owners like the picture for the money and the size, and most complaints center on the panel lottery, reflections and the built-in speakers.
