The Q6 produces good color and handles HDR content well while remaining very affordable. It won’t wow you, and it runs Google TV slowly, but you get a solid TV for the price.
The TCL Q6 is decent overall. It's better when you can put its extremely fast input lag to good use, like when gaming or using the TV as a PC monitor. The TV's contrast is decent but is nothing special, and it lacks local dimming to improve it further, so it's decent for a dark room, but it won't blow your socks off. Its HDR brightness is good but not enough to make highlights pop, even when combined with the TV's wide color gamut. However, its SDR brightness is very good, and it has decent reflection handling, so it's better suited as a cheap TV to put in a bright room, like a living room with windows, a bright game room, or an office.

The Q6 is a great pick for people who just want a reliably good-looking 4K picture, an easy-to-use smart platform, and maybe some light gaming support. In other words, if you’re finally ready to jump into the world of 4K television and you’d rather do it without breaking the bank, the Q6 is a safe bet.
The TCL Q6 QLED TV is a good value 4K TV if you’re looking to maximize your screen size with a small budget. You get solid performance along with the intuitive Google TV software. While it’s far from the best TVs in terms of picture quality, there are a number of saving graces that make it a smart mid-tier pick for the price-conscious customer.
Bright. Quantum-dot-enabled panel has good color accuracy. Easy to cast apps from phone or computer. Easy to use Google interface. Legs can be adjusted toward the middle of screen.
