A superb TV ought to by no means disappoint you. Whether or not you’re tuning in for an enormous sport, racing losers on-line, or simply streaming a present within the background, the image ought to be clear and the content material ought to be simple to entry.
TCL’s newest mid-tier hero to perform this job is the Q6 (a substitute of kinds for final 12 months’s 5-Sequence). It’s a stable TV in each method that issues, proper all the way down to its new Google working system. Casting motion pictures, images, and apps out of your telephone to your display screen is simpler than ever, and also you’ll nonetheless discover almost the identical ease of use as you used to on the older Roku fashions.
As at all times, this is among the greatest TVs for most individuals, particularly when you don’t want the quicker refresh price of higher-end fashions for gaming. You possibly can even select between two positions for the TV’s included legs, which suggests it could match on older, extra svelte TV stands.

In addition to a brand new distant that pairs with the brand new Google working system (this one is extra pill-shaped and longer), there isn’t a lot that tells you you’re trying on the newest period of TCL. The TV continues to be about 2 inches thick and thus simple to mount, and it nonetheless has tremendous skinny bezels on either side.
The largest change is the aforementioned legs, that are nicer within the middle place, although I’d nonetheless favor a pedestal mount or to wall mount this TV if I purchased it. It may be laborious to suit a soundbar between the thinner leg sections (sure, it is best to have a soundbar).
Setup takes no time. Simply register with Google and obtain each app that you simply’re serious about. There isn’t a lot that this doesn’t have. The one app I couldn’t discover that I commonly use was F1 TV, however even that has Google Chromecast integration, so I used to be in a position to stream it from my pc or telephone to the TV with ease.
The built-in Chromecast performance lastly places TCL on par with fellow mid-tier TV model Vizio with its Smartcast interface. It might’t be overstated how good it’s to shortly pull up stuff on a telephone to observe it on TV, particularly in case you have family and friends over. All they should do to forged to your TV is to hook up with your Wi-Fi.
The draw back of the brand new OS is that it may be a bit sluggish. I incessantly discovered myself ready for it to reply between app adjustments, sometimes making me a bit confused whether or not I’d really clicked on an app or was ready for it to load.
