TCL QM7K vs TCL QM6K
Get the TCL QM7K. Unless your budget is tight and you mostly game: the QM6K has the same 144Hz and low lag for about $200 less.
TCL QM7K
A very bright Mini LED with very deep blacks and rich HDR colour. Last year's model, so cheaper than the QM7L.
TCL QM6K
A cheap Mini LED with deep blacks, accurate colour and 144Hz gaming. Not bright enough for punchy HDR.
