New TCL QM5K 4K QD-Mini LED TV launches with up to $400 off

The TCL QM5K 4K Smart TV has been launched in the US. This is the entry-level model in the brand’s 2025 QD-Mini LED line-up, sitting below the QM6K (curr. from $497.99 at Amazon). The QM5K is currently available in 50”, 55”, 65” and 75” sizes, with a larger 85” version also on the way.

The QM5K is an LED TV with a 4K resolution and a native 60Hz refresh rate. It features TCL’s new Halo Control System, which includes a new high contrast HVA panel said to deliver “halo-free” images. It offers up to 314 local dimming zones, depending on the size of the TV, and is marketed with High HDR Brightness; unfortunately, TCL does not provide a brightness measurement.

TCL’s new QM5K is said to cover 98% of the DCI-P3 color gamut, with support for Dolby Vision IQ, HDR10+ and HLG. There is Motion Rate 240 with MEMC frame insertion, and gaming tools like Game Accelerator 144Hz VRR (55” and larger sizes) and an Auto Game Mode with ALLM. It uses the Google TV interface, allowing users to stream content through apps like Netflix, Prime Video and Disney+. Alternatively, you can wirelessly share content from a mobile device via Google Chromecast or Apple AirPlay 2. Plus, it supports Google Assistant or Amazon Alexa voice commands and also works with Apple HomeKit. 

On top of this, there are integrated speakers, with the 55” and larger sizes fitted with a 2.1 channel system from Onkyo combatible with Dolby Atmos Audio and DTS Virtual:X. The TV supports Wi-Fi 5 and Bluetooth 5.4, and ports on the TV include one HDMI 2.1, two HDMI 2.0, LAN and USB-A 3.0.
