TCL 50Q6C-UK 50 Inch QD-Mini LED 4K HDR10+ Smart TV, Google TV

I was searching Google for the best gaming TV's and the TCL C6K came up as the highly recommended budget option boasting its gaming capabilities and picture quality for movies, after some searching i found this TCL Q6C is exactly the same TV as the C6K with all the same design and components yet cheaper than the C6K on argos and currys at £499. I found the setting up straight forward and im very happy with the visuals on both gaming and movies infact ive been blown away with the picture quality and performance with both gaming and movies. The performance, quality and design are way above the standard i was expecting from a so called budget TV it looks amazing and several people have been shocked to hear just how affordable it is compared to the "quite frankly extortionate" prices for oleds/qled tv's out there. Sound wise its pretty good, again its better than you'd expect from a budget TV but i prefer to use my majority soundbar on any tv for deeper punchy bass but you won't be disappointed with the decent built in onkyo speakers, if you don't care about deep punchy bass especially when gaming and watching movies then you'll be very happy with the sound. I only use YouTube, Amazon Prime and Tubi apps they work great on this tv, it connects to WiFi without issues and was really easy to set up the WiFi connection, the controller is sleak and very responsive i really like the controller. Overall im over the moon with this TCL, like many I'd never heard of TCL till now i was a strictly LG all the way guy for TV's until now but i mainly purchased this tv for its gaming capabilities and it totally knocks your socks off on this regards, for the quality when watching movies its also knocks my socks off, so i highly recommend this TV especially for gaming plus you'll never be disappointed with picture quality with movies.

Bottom line is it's very good value. My previous TV was a 10 year old mid-range LG which wore out and developed a blue tinge so maybe any new TV would be an improvement. It arrived well packed, take note of the picture-instructions on the lid on how to remove without pressuring the screen, basically pull out holding the sides which I did from box laid flat on the floor. You can screw in the plastic feet supplied but the separation in 1.01m, wider than my table, so I got a VESA compliant 300mmx300 table stand. Checking for update, setting country etc took quite a long time and was straightforward apart from the QR code on the screen would not log me into Google so I reverted to the Manual option. It helps if you tick the option to see your password before typing as the virtual keyboard covers it. The controller is simple, press the Home button which gives you options to open the channels you tuned into and apps like Netflix. The sound is OK, and can change profiles for Voice, Music etc. My 10 year old LG Sound Bar plugged in via the Optical Output and worked straight away, though cannot be controlled with the TCL controlled only with the LG Soundbar Controller. The picture quality is very good for a TV of this price. Sampled some films, rugby and fast moving football and looks good. You can tune colour, movements etc and there is advice on web on what others find work, though that depends on room lighting, distance etc. I choose the 'Intelligent' option and if I feel could be better choose 'Sport' for football. The only thing I did change was to increase Black Point to bring out detail in the shadows The viewing angle seems good, screen is bright. Searching for TVs most reviews were complementary, though saw one where is said it takes 35 secs to switch on and some motion blurring. My TV takes 6 secs from Standby and see little blurring of a fast football if I look for it, better TVs will cost more. I understand this model is the same as C6K, and maybe some reviewers were looking at C6KS which TCL say is a bit lower grade. It has a satellite tuner for satellites, but Freesat channels do not have an EPG, so I am editing the long list into the few Favourites I watch. It's a lot of telly for the money, and enough for me. If you want better you'll pay mcuh more.

This tv really does pack a punch! I upgraded from an old 55' Philips tv that I paid not far off what I paid for this 98' beast. Perhaps not the fairest of comparisons but this tv is a night and day difference to my old one. My concerns on buying this tv was that it might not be bright enough but that worry was instantly squased once I had it set up and working. I honestly can't see why you would need it any brighter. HDR is great with this tv so you dont need to worry, of course that is based on the source you're watching but all the usual streaming sites such as netflix and prime look great. Dolby vision is where it really comes alive! It looks stunning and i find myself watching all the David Attenborough shows i can feast my eyes on in dolby vision! WOW! Gaming is on a hole different level with this tv if you're that way inclined. My god it's unbelievably good and the immersion is unmatched. What i will say though is that all the AI processing it comes with and motion smoothness abilities are useless. I spent hours with the settings until I realised the reason it wasn't looking great was due to these settings. They are useless and make the viewing experience sub par. This isn't a top end tv and I'm sure on the much higher models they will be able to utilise these features to their full potential but not with this tv. The built in speakers are OK, not great but they'll do the job. I've gone all out and invested in a top end Q acoustics home theatre system with dolby atmos ceiling speakers. You need a good sound system to match with a big 98' tv! It's genuinely like having your own cinema in your living room. I have a permanent grin on my face while watching movies with the family! If you're in the market for a really big tv, just do it! I originally bought an 85' but returned it as once I had it set up I knew I should have gone for the 98'. Im sitting 10 feet from the tv and its perfect! No regrets. Great purchase that makes me feel like a kid again! JUST DO IT!

So far, so good. This is the second TCL TV that I have purchased in the 2 years, and again, I'm not disappointed with taking a punt on TCL. Moving away from the big name brands of TV's that I have had in the past such as Samsung & Sony can fill you with a bit of trepidation but there is simply nothing to worry about. IMAGE - As seems to be standard with TCL the settings the TV ships with (picture wise), do need a fair bit of tinkering. In my case I had to up the clarity of the image and take a little bit of the brightness out, but once you've done that it's crystal clear. Hands down, it's one of the best images I've seen (I've also got a 55" Samsung OLED - this competes with that!). I've had zero issues with colour banding, ghosting or other modern day TV maladies. SOUND - The sound is exceptional - I was looking at getting a Hisense soundbar to beef up the sound but it's simply not needed. Dialogue is crystal clear and the bass is just enough (you can adjust all this to your needs though, so if you want more bass just up it in the audio menu). The sound is punchy though. OS - I had read on other TCL TVs horror stories with the Google TV operating system (which TBF I had encountered on my old Sony Bravia), but again whatever processor TCL is using it's fast, no lag, no menu hanging. So 10/10 for functionality. TV and remote - all was shipped in a well packaged box, it arrived on time with no damage, everything feels well made, and once you've paired up the Bluetooth remote you are away to the races. I've even paired up the TV with my PS5/PS4 controller, making going through menus even faster. Aerial/Terrestrial TV - It offers these services, but who really uses them these days. The one fault I may lay at the feet of TCL - again, if you are watching terrestrial TV or older content, the way TCL TVs process this image is not ideal so you will get a very distorted image. Beyond that, this is a steal of a TV! I just wish I had waited till the Amazon Prime Day deals - £85 cheaper! Oh well. Buy this TV, you will not be disappointed with your purchase, this rivals the big boys.

Feel free to buy this TV (details below), but use another vendor instead of Amazon. Summary for quick readers: - TV quality is excellent – bright, colourful, great size, and Google UI is fine. - Ordered two TVs with mounting; only one arrived and was installed as planned. - Second TV delivery failed, replacement was dropped off with no mounting. - Multiple escalation calls, promised call-backs never happened. - Mounting offered over two weeks later, unless I bought a new TV where slots were available sooner. - Good product – poor Amazon fulfilment/service experience. Consider buying elsewhere. Details I’ve set up one unit and the other is still unresolved for reasons explained below. The TV I have opened - 85 inches - is excellent and really fills the room. It’s very colourful, gets very bright, and the Google interface is surprisingly fine. I did need to tweak some dynamic settings like noise reduction, as they don’t work well for gaming or certain shows or sports. Overall it’s a solid piece of kit, and assuming the other one works as expected, the contrast with the service makes the experience even more disappointing. I ordered two TVs with mounting, given the size and fragility. One arrived on time on 29th Nov and was mounted. The second, scheduled for the same day, didn’t arrive. While they were mounting the first one, the tracking for the second changed to “undeliverable”. I called customer support, who initially told me to wait until 5th Dec - a full week - just for a resolution. I escalated and pushed for a replacement, which was confirmed for delivery on 1st Dec but arrived early on Sunday 30th instead. However, instead of mounting it, they just left it on my doorstep and left. I phoned support again and was told the services team would contact me within 24 hours. No contact. I called again, they escalated, and I waited 48 hours with still no response. I phoned again on the 3rd, and after chasing, the services team finally replied on the 4th offering the earliest mounting date as 15th Dec - completely unacceptable. Yet when I check Amazon with my postcode, they can mount a new TV on the 6th Dec if I purchase another unit. They claim the mounting service is handled by a dedicated team, which is why the delay is longer. I don’t believe that. It’s peak season, and I doubt the heavy/bulky services team is driving around with empty vans waiting to mount TVs. It feels more likely that new purchases take priority because they bring in new revenue. If you’re thinking of buying this from Amazon, let this be an example of how they may fail to honour commitments once they have your money and leave you stuck if there’s nothing extra for them to gain.

Purchased the TV (75inch) back in April 26 to replace a home cinema projector 7.1 set up to cut down on space. Negatives: SD & HD Upscaling is poor compared to my 65” LG LED TV in my living room, especially watching SKY Q content. Pretty awful picture and despite playing around with settings and colours the picture just looks washed out and generally poor. E-Arc automatic switching isn’t as fluent as my LG tv. Sometimes picks up devices switched on automatically, sometimes not. Motion settings. Absolutely terrible with any motion setting switched on. Triple ball effect when watching sports and a lot of halo effects around fast moving objects but this can be switched off in settings. Positives: 4k UHD image via stream, SKY Q, or 4k discs simply sensational. This is where the TV really shines. Blows my LG out of the water. Beautiful colours, great blacks, just simply stunning. Micro LED does its job brilliantly. 4x hdmi ports including earc. Slim bezel for such a large tv. Summary: Unbelievable value for a 75” tv. Purchased for £749 at Easter. I would be disappointed if I purchased this tv as my daily driver with Sky Q as SD & HD upscaling is poor but for a dedicated 4k tv streaming online and with 4k discs, this is simply an unbelievable value TV.

For a budget premium mini LED TV, this is a great TV! It has high colour accuracy with good contrast and deep blacks thanks to local dimming (180 dimming zones). Decent brightness for day time watching too (with auto brightness available) and very low brightness too for night time watching. SDR content on this looks amazing! HDR content looks good too for a budget Mini LED TV thanks to those local dimming zones but it could do with more, 180 is few but is decent. Viewing angles are good. Sound is great. It comes with two built in subwoofers on the back and two down firing stereo speakers, more than you'd get on budget TV's. But I would still recommend dedicated external speakers because the sound is way better quality than any TV, you will notice the quality even if you buy used or cheap sound bar or speakers, they have better dynamic range, can produce sounds clearer and with better stereo sound. Android TV OS is fast and has plenty of useful apps including the ability to download third part apps such as Smart tube (YouTube with no ads). The TV has all the major HDR and Audio codecs so that's nice to have! My PS5 runs 120hz smoothly on this. Build quality is decent including the remote but I don't like the included stands, they're too far apart which means it may not fit your TV bench and may have to buy a Vesa stand (which is what I did) so the TV can fit smaller TV benches. It's a heavy TV but it's a big VA LCD panel so it's expected. I'm pleased it's has 4 top rated HDMI ports as well as many other ports including USB 3.0. I recommend it, unless you can get the higher tier models for the same or lower price.

The TCL 50Q6C-UK is an impressive 50-inch 4K Smart TV that punches above its price class. Its QD-Mini LED panel delivers vibrant colours, deep contrast, and excellent brightness thanks to advanced local dimming and quantum dot technology, making movies, shows, and games look sharp and engaging.  With a 144 Hz refresh rate and responsive motion handling, this TV is great for fast action content and smoother visuals overall. The built-in Google TV platform gives easy access to all your favourite streaming apps like Netflix, Prime Video, Disney+, and YouTube, plus voice control with Google Assistant.  Audio performance is decent with Dolby Atmos support, though serious home cinema enthusiasts might still want a separate soundbar. The design is slim and modern, fitting well in most living rooms or mounted on the wall.  Overall: A solid mid-range choice if you want a bright, colourful picture, smooth performance, and smart features without paying top-tier TV prices.
