The TCL QM7K is a very good mixed-usage TV. It's very bright, especially in SDR, so it's easily capable of overcoming glare from well-lit rooms. While it struggles a bit with glare from direct sources of light, it admirably handles glare from ambient sources, so it's truly a bright room standout, like when watching sports. It also excels in darker rooms due to its fantastic contrast and decent HDR brightness, even with its noticeable blooming; blacks are extremely deep on this TV even when bright highlights are on screen. It's a colorful TV, although it's not very accurate in HDR; color purists might want to get this TV calibrated for the best possible experience. Its processing is good overall, so it handles sub-optimal content quite well.
