TCL 85Q6C-UK QD-Mini LED TV, 4K HDR Premium 1000nits, Smart TV Powered by Google TV (Dolby Vision IQ & Atmos, Matte HVA Panel, Onkyo 2.1 Sound System, 144Hz Motion Clarity Pro, 2025 New Model)

Pro's- Great picture especially for the price (you do need to play around with settings though to find the right one for you and I Imagine it will depend on room).- I'm using Sky which has a HDR output and that gives a really lovely picture. Also as I use most of the apps through sky (Netflix, Prime, Disney etc) they get a great picture too.- Sounds is actually pretty good for a thin TV- Copes with blacks pretty well. Been watching solar system and lots of deep black with bright lights and watching in a dark room I was genuinely impressed.- Set up was very easy, device was light and easy to maneuver- My Xbox series X works really and picture is great with no noticeable lagCons- UI is 'ok' on the homepage and does autoload Sky when I switch sky on, but the UI on the homescreen is ok, without being world beating- The besel and base is fine, without being inspiring- More ability to use screen as a photo frame, screen etc would have been great.- Movie mode in settings, even in the darkest of room is basically unwatchable

My Honest Review of the TCL 65QM8B 65-inch QLED Mini LED TVPrice I Paid: £599 (a steal, honestly!)What I Love:✅ The picture quality blew me away – Coming from an older 4K TV, the Mini LED backlighting makes a HUGE difference. Blacks are deep, and bright scenes (like explosions or sunny landscapes) actually look dazzling. HDR movies and shows feel way more immersive.✅ For £599, this feels like cheating – I was expecting to pay way more for a TV with these specs (QLED + Mini LED + 1300 nits brightness). Compared to what Samsung and LG charge, this is insane value.✅ Gaming is buttery smooth – I hooked up my PC, and the 144Hz + VRR works great. No noticeable lag, and fast-paced games feel super responsive.✅ The colours pop – Watching nature documentaries or animated films (like Spider-Verse) is a treat—everything looks vibrant without being oversaturated.✅ Smart TV is snappy enough – It’s not the fastest, but apps like Netflix, Prime Video, and Disney+ load quickly. The remote is simple, and I haven’t had any major crashes.✅ Looks sleek in my living room – The thin bezels and minimalist stand make it look way more expensive than it is.✅ It does not have have Alexa built in, but I can get my Alexa Echo to turn the TV off as well change channels, volume, which is a blessing.✅ Using iMax when watching a movie in 4K i beautiful.What I Don’t Love:❌ Sound is just okay – It’s not bad, but it’s not amazing either. I ended up using my old soundbar, and now it’s perfect. If you care about audio, budget for external speakers.Final Verdict:For £599, I’m seriously impressed. The picture quality rivals TVs twice the price, gaming is fantastic, and it looks great in my setup. The downsides (like sound and viewing angles) are easy fixes or minor trade-offs for the price. If you’re looking for a high-end 4K TV without spending a fortune, this is a no-brainer.Would I buy it again? Absolutely! 🚀

This TV beats standard oled tv and it has very good brightness and sound quality. Tbh I am living in apartment and this tv is more than enough but I would have been in detached home and you want to experience full then I won't chose this. Overall the quality is good and picture and sound is great. I brought 2023 model which is more than enough.

My living room already has a fantastic 65inch LG OLED, and I was going to buy a smaller OLED for the bedroom but thought I'd take a chance on The TCL 50QM8. Good (and much cheaper!) decision! After a 15 mins physical set-up followed by connectivity set-up via the Google Home app on my phone, my fussy eyes were immediately happy with the superfine colours, including wonderfully deep black levels that I got used to on my OLED. Sound wise, I was surprised by how loud it gets; overall sound quality is superior to other sets of this size and perfect for day-to-day viewing. For bass lovers like me, my old soundbar and sub will be handy, but they are not essential; the QM8 is a very good all-round performer. I was worried that I might be disappointed with the viewing angles, but they are absolutely fine. The split/multi-screen feature was a surprise, allowing me to watch live TV and You Tube (or something else) side by side from my phone via screencast. I can then switch between both feeds to listen to the audio for the one I want to hear.As other reviewers have pointed out, BBC iPlayer, 4, and other UK specific TV apps are not included, so a letter in the box asks you to make contact with TCL if you require a fix. I contacted them and they put me through hoops with their requirement for proof of purchase in the form of a VAT invoice. What/why?!! My official Amazon order invoice/number wasn't good enough. So, after a back and forth of emails and me sending the invoice from Amazon, the Chromecast dongle was sent the next day. TCL, that's 0 stars from me for your polite but nonsense apps/dongle issue. If you're going sell your televisions in the UK, then please ensure that they perform as expected out of the box.The missing apps dongle nightmare aside, the remote works well but isn't backlit like the US model. The voice control works hands-free or by the press of a button, and you can also use Alexa to control functionality. The Google smart features work fast enough for me, and definitely quicker than my LG Web OS. Overall, this is a great TV at a reasonable price.Update, July 2024: I decided to return the QM8 and go for the C38K 55 inch instead, mostly because the picture quality is just as good but is 1500 nits rather than the over-bright 2000 nits (for my bedroom) on the QM8 - as confirmed by TCL, but I wanted the built-in subwoofer, which makes an audible difference, even if only slight. The price was exactly the same, thanks to an Amazon deal offer. Again, the picture quality and overall performance is the same, but bass sub matters to me. TCL also confirmed that they will be rolling out a firmware update within the next month or so that will install the missing Apps, doing away with the need for a dongle. We shall see!Update Nov 2024: TCL have added many TV Apps including 4, ITVX. Still no BBC iPlayer app, but you can cast it to the TCL from your phone and it works just fine. Will update further in due course.
