Our Verdict

TCL Q5/Q550G QLED

TCL Q6/Q651G QLED

The TCL Q5/Q550G QLED and the TCL Q6/Q651G QLED are better than each other in different areas. The Q5 displays deeper blacks thanks to its higher contrast ratio, is brighter in both SDR and HDR, is more accurate in HDR, and has slightly better upscaling. However, the Q651G has much better pre-calibration SDR accuracy, less banding in color gradients, better low-quality content smoothing, and supports DTS audio formats.
