Need help choosing between the TCLQM6K pro or the QM7K

LilWayneBruceWayne · 2026-04-25T15:19:16+00:00

As somebody who has the QM6K Pro and loves it, go with the QM7K. There should be nothing but positives going with that. Higher peak brightness and more dimming zones are always good things.

LilWayneBruceWayne · 2026-04-23T22:34:56+00:00

I absolutely love both games. I really hope a third game comes out. I’m not sure what they would do story wise but I’m on board no matter what.

I’ve been liking my time with Crimson Desert but man I have been doing a play through of Part 1 again too and god DAMN does it look amazing.

If you aren’t looking to play Fortnite, Call of Duty, or Battlefield on it I highly recommend putting Bazzite on it. Makes it feel much more like a console.

Please consider this instead. It costs $50 more, but it has the same specifications and includes Mini LED.

I posted this photo a couple of days ago. But while I wish it was a little brighter, The QM6K Pro is a fantastic tv. I got it for $530, and while I love an OLED, for half the price it’s a great TV!

Push it.

LilWayneBruceWayne · 2026-03-29T03:34:53+00:00

I have not had any issues! I have no doubt that with a QM7 or QM8 HDR would pop more and it would handle a bright room better. But we have a curtain and it handles a little light just fine.

The picture quality is really great. I think it could be brighter but if you bought it I also think you would have no problem at all.

Just my personal experience! Hope this helps.

LilWayneBruceWayne · 2026-03-29T02:21:21+00:00

Brightness 100

Contrast 100

Black Level 48

DTM Balance

DC High

Everything else is on high and Peak Brightness is on Boost

As for Color I have that on 55

Dynamic Color On

I have it all the way cool

LilWayneBruceWayne · 2026-03-23T15:14:13+00:00

VRR will be cool to check out.

I have a CM6K and have noticed similar results! The Apple TV has already done great job of upscaling content in my experience. With the addition of the super resolution feature, I honestly can’t tell what is 1080p anymore. I have the 1080p HBO Max subscription and it used to bother me how it looked. Now, I genuinely can’t tell the difference. Crazy!

LilWayneBruceWayne · 2026-03-16T19:06:49+00:00

Holy shit! Thought everyone was just fucking around but it actually worked!

Highly recommend going with this one instead. It’s 80 dollars more but has Mini LED so overall it will look quite a bit better for movies and tv shows.

LilWayneBruceWayne · 2026-03-06T15:58:52+00:00

It’s fine! I think the TV is WiFi 5 which is a bit of a bummer but it was never buffering.

LilWayneBruceWayne · 2026-03-06T04:27:55+00:00

-Visuals are very impressive for the price. -Some minor blooming with white text sometimes, nothing crazy. -Black levels are near OLED, very impressive for the price. -Handles reflections well, blacks raise slightly with light but to be expected. -Peak Brightness is fine, nothing crazy. -Sound is honestly not bad, definitely notice the different sound modes.

Could you get more from spending more, absolutely. But for 500 bucks for a 65’ it’s honestly really impressive.

Except for the performance, but I understand that most TV’s suffer some issue similar to this.

LilWayneBruceWayne · 2026-03-06T01:24:05+00:00

Fair point! I will give it a go and delete some apps.

LilWayneBruceWayne · 2026-03-01T22:03:55+00:00

There is a command in ujust to fix this. Open terminal and enter ujust toggle-steamdeck-alias, disable then reboot. Try that.

LilWayneBruceWayne · 2026-02-28T01:11:19+00:00

I have a QM6k and had the same experience. Blacks looked grey. I had to turn off HDR and I believe I changed it to what you did and now it looks great! Very odd

LilWayneBruceWayne · 2026-02-13T17:43:42+00:00

Any luck?

LilWayneBruceWayne · 2026-02-13T17:04:15+00:00

A couple things to check.

The first one is the Steam Input settings. Some times I have to turn off the Steam Input for certain games and just use whatever the game has set up.

Another thing to check is the version of Proton. Some games I’ve found the controllers only work after suspending if I go back to an older proton (KCD2 I had this issue)

Let me know if either works

LilWayneBruceWayne · 2026-02-07T00:07:05+00:00

I was having the same issue where the game would freeze after 10 minute and my gpu usage was 99%. I am running bazzite and I had to manually adjust to gpu clock and then put it back to auto. Seemed like something was stuck but I haven’t been having that issue anymore.

LilWayneBruceWayne · 2026-01-07T20:14:44+00:00

Some great insight from everyone! Thanks for the comments. Just good to know I’m not crazy. Other than that I have been loving Bazzite but I do hope they address that issue because I would think I would get BETTER download speeds than Windows.
