Extremely impressed with the quality of the image of this TV. Just upgraded from 2016 model of 'singing sam' brand, and man has Mini-LED surpassed Direct LED over the years. Shadows and colors are amazing. I didn't realize that things didn't look fully real on my old TV until I got this one. I ordered the TV around the time of, and it arrived the day before, the Super Bowl. So, my first experience with 4K Ultra HD was on this TV watching Super Bowl LX. I didn't care who won, I just wanted to see a good game ... recent SB's have been amazing. This one was a bit of a let down, but what wasn't a let down was the display of the game on this TV as streamed through the Peacock Plus app. The game looked and sounded amazing! Ice hockey, for that matter, looks great too! No more "fuzzy puck" during long passes as my old TV struggled to render a small, black, fast moving object on a white background. The sound, in general, is also an upgrade to my aged sound bar. The integrated speakers are actually pretty good when set up correctly (stand vs. wall mount). I turned down the treble and increased the bass initially ... then I decreased the bass a little because even some hair care product ads were rumbling. Who knew they had bass in them? The integrated speakers won't compete with high end sound bars or surround systems, obviously, but for normal viewing they are pretty good. The remote control is simple and easy to use. It has buttons to load some common apps directly. It lights up when you pick it up, but the light is very subtle. Very well designed remote with intuitive layout. The buttons you often use together are near each other. One of the reasons I upgraded my TV is because of the speed of the interface when switching apps. Sometimes it was quicker to just turn the TV off and back on rather than try to switch apps directly. The TCL 55QM7K is extremely fast and responsive when navigating through the menus and responding to inputs. The Google TV / Android system is very intuitive and easy to learn (Mac/iPhone guy ... this TV supports AirPlay!). The TV comes with some apps installed (Netflix, and a few others). I initially did not set up the Google TV portion or link the TV to my Google account (I never associated my Windows 10 or 11 installs with my Outlook account either). But, I found with this TV that, if I wanted to download more apps, I would have to do this. So, once I completed that portion, downloading the rest of the apps was easy. I get a lot of free streaming services through my cable provider, and this TV supports all the apps for those services (which my old TV did not ... another reason for upgrading). Overall, I am very pleased with the display and function of the TCL 55QM7K ... especially for the price I paid. I have ordered a new sound bar. I will update this review after some time of ownership if I experience any issues. RTINGS.com has a great review and some recommended calibration settings for this TV as well.

I have to start by saying I love this tv. Its deep black picture is close to perfect you can still notice the halo effect just a little but not to bad. On a black screen the tv looks like it is off. The setup was simple and easy. Its great value for the money. The connectivity is pretty good I haven't used the tv connected to wifi as I like wired connection and on wired connection the tv works perfectly. The remote control is a bit on the cheap side but I do love that it lights up when you touch it. The sound of the tv speaker are lousy how ever so I highly suggest getting a soundbar.

I bought this TV after some serious deep diving on multiple websites and YouTube. The QM7K is a bit more budget friendly than buying an equivalent Samsung or Sony, which at the time I purchased this, were going for at least $1000 more than this. For a TV under $2000, this was perfect. It's huge and has very good picture quality and the sound system is great, too. I use a Sony sound bar, but I wouldn't even really need it if I didn't already have it. The bass was really good when I tested it out. I have even confused having the soundbar on/off a couple of times. I've had this TV for 6 months now and I am huge fan. The viewing quality of the TV is exactly what I was looking for on my PS5 or with YouTube TV, Netflix, etc. I haven't noticed anything funky yet and it is still just as fast as it was out of the box. Just make sure if you're going to get a TV this large that you can sit roughly 9-12 feet back from it. I also haven't really noticed any viewing angle problems that I saw come up during some of my research. Apparently the viewing angle on this is supposed to be a bit more narrow than some comperable 85" class TVs like the Sonys and Samsungs. Has been a non-issue for me personally, but I tend to sit in roughly the same spot when I game/watch TV or movies. I haven't had any company complain when the couch is filled up, either. In my research, it came down to this model and a Sony Bravia. I can't remember the exact Sony Bravia, it was back in August of 2025, but alas. Decided to save a bit a money and purchase this TV and thus far, no regrets. The Bravia was more than $1000 in price difference for the 85" if I recall it correctly. If you're looking for a bit more of a "budget friendly", but still high quality TV, I'd recommend the QM7K. There are a ton of YouTube reviews that will help you in your research and I highly recommend watching them. It helped me make my decision. When you're spending this much money, you owe it to yourself to not make a hasty decision that you'll regret. I'll try to remember to come back to this at the 1 year point with any additonal thoughts.
