'Better than the Hisense all around': We've reviewed all the best budget TVs, and here's why we're still recommending this TCL mini-LED as the bang-for-buck king

We've found a particularly great TV deal among Amazon's spring savings: the 75-inch TCL QM7K is $997.99, a saving of $300 on the most-recent selling price. That's an impressive discount, and it's the lowest price we've seen this TV listed for, ever. You can also get it for just $797 (save $200) at 65 inches, or for just $1,497 (save $300) at 85 inches.

TCL is very good at making budget TVs that punch way above their price tag, and this is no exception. In our TCL QM7K review we gave it four and a half out of five stars due to its vibrant picture, excellent contrast and surprisingly good audio quality. I'd probably use the money we're saving to invest in one of the best soundbars, but the Bang & Olufsen audio here is good enough that you don't have to if you don't want to.

Today's best TCL QM7K deal

TCL's mid-range mini-LED was a great buy at full price, and an even better one now, with a cool $300 off the normal price. In our TCL QM7K review we said that it was a "fantastic" buy with a vibrant picture, good contrast, impressive HDR brightness and TLC's Halo Control, which helps minimize the halo effect that's common in mini-LED TVs. It's a good choice for gamers too thanks to 4K 144Hz support and variable refresh rate support.

Other sizes:
55-inch: $697 (save $50)
65-inch: $797 (save $200)
85-inch: $1,497 (save $300)
98-inch: $2,197 (save $300)

Is the TCL QM7K TV worth buying in this deal?

At full price we said this was a really good TV, but in some sizes it's now over $1,000 cheaper, and in some sizes is at the lowest we've ever seen it (well, at 65 inches it's 10¢ more than that, but effectively as low).

There's lots to like here, including Bang & Olufsen-tuned speakers that are better than the average affordable TV, very impressive HDR performance and brightness so you can watch even in bright conditions, fast refresh rates for gaming, and both Dolby Vision and HDR10+ support so you're always watching in the best quality.

This is a Google TV, so the interface is straightforward, easy to use and gives you easy access to shows, movies and apps. There's tons of live and ad-supported content available for free, and of course all the big streaming apps are there too.

If you're a gamer you'll appreciate the twin 4K 144Hz inputs, and variable refresh rate for extra flexibility when playing.

It's a great TV for sports too, which is why it was one of our recommended TVs for watching the Superbowl: we liked its motion handling and responsiveness; we said it delivered "quality without compromise." And you can buy a huge size for a low price right now, which is always great for watch parties.

We said in our review that we think this is superior to the mid-range Hisense U7N TV, adding that "the QM7K is better than the Hisense U7N all around, with better brightness and significantly better audio quality" — and we said that overall it's a "fantastic TV for the price".

Now that's it's available so much cheaper, it's still our pick of the mid-range TV marvels in 2026.
