Impressive Midrange TVs: The Rise of QLEDs
In recent years, midrange televisions have greatly improved, making it increasingly difficult to justify the higher costs associated with premium OLED models. Companies like TCL are focused on excelling in QLED technology, providing remarkable performance without the hefty price tag. A prime example is the TCL QM7, which has garnered attention for its affordability and impressive capabilities.
Currently, the 83-inch model is available for $1,299.99, which is $700 less than its regular price. Although it was slightly cheaper during Prime Day, it remains an excellent choice even at this price point.
In the realm of midrange televisions, QLED has emerged as the frontrunner before one steps into the more costly OLED territory. While QLED displays may never quite reach the pinnacle of picture quality offered by the finest OLED TVs, they come remarkably close for most users—while remaining significantly more affordable.
An important aspect to consider when shopping for QLED models is “dimming zones”—the greater the number, the better the contrast between deep blacks and vibrant highlights. The QM7 boasts an impressive 1,240 local dimming zones, which is quite uncommon for its price range. Additionally, it can achieve brightness levels of up to 2,400 nits. Coupled with 4K resolution and extensive HDR support—including HDR ULTRA with Dolby Vision IQ, HDR10+, HDR10, and HLG—this model delivers a stellar viewing experience. Gamers will appreciate the 120Hz refresh rate and a mere 6 milliseconds of input lag, enhanced by Auto Low Latency Mode (ALLM) and AMD FreeSync Premium Pro, ensuring fluid gameplay during intense matches.
