Our Verdict
TCL Q6/Q651G QLED
TCL NXTFRAME QLED
The TCL Q6/Q651G QLED and TCL NXTFRAME QLED are similar TVs outside of the latter's Art Mode features, but the Q6 is a bit better across the board when it comes to image quality. The Q6 is a bit brighter in HDR and SDR, and is much more accurate than the NXTFRAME in SDR. The NXTFRAME does have some advantages, such as its noticeably better image processing. It's also the better option for gamers, as the Q6 is limited to 4k @ 60Hz or 1080p @ 120Hz, while the NXTFRAME supports 4k @ 144Hz and 1080p @ 240Hz on its two HDMI 2.1 ports.
