When you walk into a local retail store to look at TVs, it is hard to see the fine differences since they are all set “hot” and there is a lot of room light, reflections, and so on. Before buying this set, I spent hours researching the latest and greatest models from major brands, and I was surprised at how well the TCL QM7K series stands up against bigger names that cost significantly more. One website I found useful was RTINGS, but this is just one of many. RTINGS buys TVs and then tests them using professional calibration equipment.I bought this 85" model for our basement rec room, where we sit about 13 feet away. I wanted something big enough to be immersive, yet not overwhelming. If you like to sit in the front third of a movie theater (feet on the railing) and want that experience at home, this size is for you. After a few quick adjustments to smooth motion and reduce peak brightness, my wife and I are both very pleased with this set. It handles low-resolution sources like broadcast TV and old movie discs very well. However, when you play a 4K source, it is truly amazing.This is the first “non-major brand” big screen we have owned in our 30+ years together, and I must say we were impressed. From the cabinet finish to the image quality, we are very pleased and now have a theater in our home with a gorgeous picture that we look forward to enjoying together and with friends. In time, I will use a calibration disc to fine-tune the display settings, but it is already a beautiful display.It's hooked up to a surround sound system so I can't offer any opinion on the sound quality.Happy shopping!

Bought this two months ago during Prime Days sale. After what seemed like extensive research I had narrowed my choices to TCL, LG or Hisense. The TCL QM7K was the highest rated by Rtings.com at the price point I wanted. Other factors favoring TCL were the HVA screen claiming a wider viewing angle, this was replacing a Hisense U8 series which failed after only 30 months which left me with diminished confidence in Hisense and, although I am partial to LG, they apparently had availability problems with the model I selected.My primary TV is a LG C3 OLED. I prefer the TCL Google system, the TCL screen and audio tuning and the TCL remote. The OLED is superior for viewing angle and, although the LG picture is not as bright, I prefer the LG picture quality overall. However, if I needed to replace the LG OLED, I would be happy with The TCL QM7K.Out of the box the picture is amazing. For the most part I select Standard for the picture set up and leave it there. On Standard the picture is bright, the contrast right on, the colors vibrant and accurate. The TV will auto adjust brightness and you can override the auto bright if you want but rarely do I need to. The presets for picture and audio were amazingly accurate. I loved the picture from the beginning and actually was concerned because I did not feel the need to tune the picture and sound. I finally did use the Rtings settings for the Movie picture and thought all they did was bring the Movie picture closer to the preset Standard picture.The HVA panel viewing angle is slightly better than a normal VA panel but not much. If you need a wide viewing angle, spend the extra dollars for an OLED.The audio is quite good. Not sound bar good but far better than most. I switch back and forth between the Music setting for movies and the Talk setting for just about everything else.Buy this at the right price and you will be amazed!

A great TV for the price. The image is bright and sharp with rich colors and good contrast. The 55-inch screen is perfect for movies, shows, and gaming. Fast performance, easy-to-use menu, and solid smart features. Stylish design that looks great in any living space.

5.0 out of 5 stars Quality TV

Recently purchased this TV to replace an older Samsung TV. The picture quality is significantly sharper and clearer. I watch sports and was impressed with the motion quality of football and hockey. With the TCL being a google TV it made it much easier to sign back into all of the apps that are assocaited with my gmail. The user interface is much quicker and user friendly than the Samsung model we had.I don't have a provider for live football games and use an antenna for NFL games. I was happy to see the remote had specific button for the antenna and other common apps. I was able to easily connect the TV with my LG soundbar via bluetooth. I first attempted to use an audio cable but the audio cable was not able to control the sound volume on the sound bar.I was very happy with amazon's delivery option which took away the box and other trash.

I love this TV, for the price cant beat it. Not an TV snob but picture quality is very good in my opinion. Alos love the google TV. I think the sound is ok but I can say cause I use a JBL soundbar all the time. I would buy again. Menu lag is minor, streaming is great, absolutely love the backlit remote.

4.0 out of 5 stars Almost perfect... that glare tho

Lot's to love about this TV. Pretty great picture, nice remote, great smart features and inegration. Price is reasonable given the size we purchased (75"). If there was one flaw with this TV it would be the glare. Kitchen lighting reflects pretty bad, refelcting massive squiggley lines from one side of the TV to the other. Basically impossible to watch this TV w/ any sort of lighting on in the background. Natural light is a non issue, and dark room is great as well. We're happy, but would like to see a little more of a reflective covering on this TV.
