TCL Q6 Q-Class 75Q651G 75"

A 75-inch QLED with top-tier HDR for under $900 is an absolute win. Just don't expect cutting-edge ports or audio.

What surprised us most is how good the HDR looks. We're talking 96th percentile good, which means it's hanging with sets that cost twice as much in that specific area. The QLED panel and Dolby Vision support do some heavy lifting here, and the AIPQ processor keeps motion smooth with MEMC frame insertion. Gaming is solid too at 120Hz with VRR, though it's held back by those HDMI 2.0 ports. The display overall sits in the 87th percentile, so it's a standout for the money. Audio is middle of the pack, and the smart platform is fine but not snappy enough to impress.

The Hisense U8 Series is the natural rival here. It'll give you better brightness and more gaming features like HDMI 2.1, but you'll pay more for the privilege. The Roku Pro Series is another option if you want a simpler smart system, but its picture can't touch the TCL's HDR pop. If you're even glancing at the Sony BRAVIA XR or LG G5, you're in a completely different price bracket. For big-screen value, the TCL Q6 smokes them on cost per inch, even if it loses on absolute performance.

At $870 for 75 inches, this is a steal. You're getting a display and HDR experience that rivals much pricier sets. If pure screen size and picture punch are your priorities, the value here is hard to beat. Just know you're saving money on the ports and processing speed, not the panel itself.

The TCL Q6 is the big-screen budget champ that doesn't feel like a compromise where it counts. For under $900, you're getting a massive 75 inches of QLED color with Dolby Vision that punches way above its price tag. The one thing to know is this: the HDR performance is genuinely excellent, landing in the 96th percentile of all TVs we track. That's best-in-class territory, and it makes everything from Netflix nature docs to the latest Marvel movie look rich and vibrant. Just don't expect it to be a flawless all-rounder.

If you need four HDMI 2.1 ports for a high-end gaming setup, this isn't your TV. Go grab an LG G5 or a Sony BRAVIA XR instead. You'll pay a lot more, but you'll get the full bandwidth and lower input lag that serious gamers want.

Buy this if you want a massive, beautiful screen for movies and shows and don't want to spend a fortune. The HDR is the real deal, and the 120Hz panel keeps sports and gaming fluid. Just grab a streaming box down the line if the Google TV interface starts to lag, and definitely budget for a soundbar. For the price, it's an easy recommendation.
