Last week I covered the best TV deals you could find ahead of Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl halftime show, and one of them, the TCL QM6K, has somehow remained at this impressively discounted price. You can grab the 65-inch QM6K from Best Buy for just $530, just $30 from a 50 percent markdown, with discounts on the larger versions of the screen as well.
While there are certainly fancier models with higher brightness and price tags to match, we think the QM6K offers a balanced image at a great price point. It has incredible black levels that help create a deep, high-contrast picture. The panel is impressively uniform too, with almost no blooming across the entire screen. It maintains great details in darker areas, even with the preset on Dolby Vision Dark. Colors are natural and vivid, adding to the realism and immersion of the experience.
It’s great for gaming too, with a refresh rate that you can push all the way to 144 Hz, and you’ll get VRR (Variable Refresh Rate) and ALLM (Auto Low Latency Mode) on two of the four HDMI ports. Speaking of ports, TCL includes a separate port just for eARC, which means you can save those important HDMI 2.1 ports for your gaming consoles. TCL even advertises a new “Zero-Delay Transient Response” mode that will make sure your games are all perfectly lag free.
It also uses Google TV, which is one of the easier-to-use and snappier smart interfaces available. It even has hands-free Google assistant, if you often have trouble finding the remote. In addition to the full suite of Google TV apps, it’s compatible with plain old Chromecast and Apple AirPlay.
The most reasonable 65-inch version of the screen is currently marked down to $530 at Best Buy, but if you’re dreaming a little bigger, there’s a similar $500 discount on the 75-inch version that brings the price down to $800. You can also save $900 on the downright gigantic 85-inch model, but if you’re considering going that large, you might check out some of our other favorite TVs first for more premium options.
