At CES 2025 in Las Vegas, TCL dropped its latest QM6K series of TVs, showcasing some seriously impressive Mini LED tech at a price that’s super competitive. What really caught my attention is how TCL is bringing high-end features to its more affordable models, making premium technology a lot more accessible.
The QM6K series packs a new QD-Mini LED backlight that amps up brightness, improves light control, and fine-tunes local dimming with their “Halo Control Technology Suite.” This is a big deal since it helps eliminate the halo effect around bright objects on dark backgrounds—a common issue with Mini LED that OLED usually handles better with its pixel-perfect precision.
The features are definitely impressive, especially for a TCL TV:
–Super High-Energy LED Chip: Boosts brightness by 53% for bolder, more vibrant visuals and improves light efficiency by 10%, making the picture look sharper and more dynamic.
–Precision Dimming: Delivers deep blacks and bright whites with almost zero blooming, giving you a cleaner, more crisp image.
–7,000:1 Static Contrast Ratio: That’s 5 times more contrast than other TVs in this price range.
–Dolby Vision IQ + HDR10: Expect rich, true-to-life colors and contrast that’ll make everything look more immersive.
The QM6K is also a solid choice for gamers, offering a 144Hz native refresh rate. Pricing starts at $749.99 for the 50-inch model, and goes up to $3,499.99 for the 98-inch version.
Here are some of the key specs for the QM6K series:
- High Contrast HVA Panel
- Enhanced QLE
- Up to LD500 Precise Dimmer
- TCL AiPQ Pro Processor
- Dolby Vision IQ (plus HDR10+, HDR10, HLG, and new DLA)
- Dolby Atmos and DTS Virtual:X
- IMAX Enhanced & AMD FreeSync Certifications
- New Dolby Vision Filmmaker Mode
- Google TV
The TCL QM6K is available for pre-order now, and you’ll even get a free TCL Q75H soundbar with Dolby Atmos, Ray Danz Technology, and a wireless subwoofer. Not a bad deal.
