About
The QM7 is TCL's value Mini LED: hundreds of dimming zones, high peak brightness and a 144Hz panel at a price closer to entry-level LED sets. Google TV handles apps and voice, and gaming features like VRR and ALLM are present. It cannot match OLED contrast in a dark room, but in a bright one it is far better value.
Pros
- +Great value
- +Very bright
- +Google TV
Cons
- −Blooming in dark scenes
