Is the TCL Q6C worth it?
Yes — superb value.
It's a Mini LED with local dimming and quantum dot colour, so blacks are deep and haloing is well controlled for the price, with vivid but natural colour and good upscaling. It plays Dolby Vision and HDR10+, games at 4K 144Hz with VRR and 13.1ms input lag, and Google TV includes iPlayer. It's not as bright as the C7K, the brightest highlights can clip, and only two of its four HDMI ports are HDMI 2.1. TCL lists it as the same TV as the C6K. It comes in 50 to 98 inches.

Almost every owner gives it 4 or 5 stars for the picture, value and easy set-up. The one low rating is about smearing in game mode.
Good to know

How we reached this verdict
What Hi-Fi gives it five stars and calls it ridiculous value: excellent blacks without crushed shadows, little haloing, vivid but natural colour, sharp 4K and above-par upscaling, with 13.1ms input lag and a wide-sounding Onkyo system. It notes lower brightness than the C7K, some clipping and slightly wider halos, a little judder and colour loss from steep angles. Almost all of the verified Otto owners we read give it 4 or 5 stars; the one low rating is about smearing in game mode.
We compared independent expert reviews with the manufacturer's specifications, then checked it's sold at a major retailer where you live. We don't test products ourselves.
