Overview
The TCL 6 Series QLED TV is the company’s highest-end television released in 2020. It promises to deliver exceptional brightness (600-700 nits) over other QLED TVs and improved color clarity thanks to its quantum dot color technology and wide coverage of the DCI P3 color space.

Consensus
our Verdict
Measured and tested, the TCL 6 Series QLED TV is a fantastic television owing to its Mini LED backlighting, high-level peak brightness, and quantum dot color technology.
It’s Roku-powered, so there are a large amount of streaming services available, and with the AiPQ engine for 4K upscaling, it’s the perfect TV for those forced to do most of their watching at night.
The lag time is also minimal which makes it an excellent TV for gaming too. Unfortunately, the TV has a mediocre local dimming feature, narrow viewing angles, and lackluster audio and bass.
And although the frame-rate is high, there will be some stunted motion with anything under 24fps (frames per second).
ReasonS to Buy
- Mini LED backlighting
- Quantum dot color technology
- AiPQ Engine for 4K Upscaling
- High-level peak brightness
- Roku offers a variety of apps
Reason to Avoid
- Stunted Motion Handling with Low Frame Rates
- Mediocre Local Dimming Feature
- Narrow Viewing Angles
- Audio and Bass are Weaker than Normal
