TCL QM67K
Reddit take
AI summary of the Reddit excerpts below — not a quote
The TCL QM67K is a highly-regarded, retailer-specific variant of the QM6 series (often identified as the QM6K Pro or Costco exclusive). It is widely praised for offering a near-premium experience at a budget-friendly price point, featuring an HVA panel, 120Hz refresh rate for gaming, and an anti-reflective coating that distinguishes it from the base QM6K. While it lacks some of the high-end coatings and peak brightness of the QM7K or QM8, most users find the performance gap doesn't justify the significant price jump to those models.
Pros
- Excellent value-to-performance ratio, especially when purchased on sale.
- High brightness levels that perform well in bright living rooms.
- Smooth 120Hz performance for gaming on consoles like the PS5.
- Features a semi-gloss anti-reflective coating similar to higher-end models.
- Often includes extended retailer warranties (up to 6 years mentioned via Costco).
Cons
- Some users report that HDR content can occasionally appear too dark.
- Lacks the 'CrystGlow' coating found on the QM7K and QM8 series.
- Out-of-the-box colors may appear 'natural' or 'dull' compared to the 'wow' factor of more expensive units.
Caveats
- This is a retailer-specific model (Costco), which may limit availability and regional naming (QM6K Pro in the US).
- HDR performance is a point of contention; some users find it dark while others find the set 'too bright,' suggesting variance in settings or room environments.
Best for
- Budget-conscious buyers who want high-end features like 120Hz and anti-reflective coatings.
- Gamers looking for a cost-effective display for current-gen consoles.
- Users who prefer buying through Costco for the added warranty and return policy.
Avoid if
- You demand the absolute highest peak brightness and 'vivid' punch available in the TCL lineup.
- You are sensitive to HDR dimming issues and prefer a more consistent out-of-the-box HDR calibration.

Yes the QM67K is worth the $70 more
Yeah, the QM67K is the Costco exclusive version of the QM6K in Canada featuring the same HVA panel as the QM7K.
I love my qm67k from costco. It plays my ps5 well at 120 hz. Been playing cod warzone and borderlands 4 with zero issues
Best Buy doesn’t have the qm67k that’s the Costco version which is better than regular 6k, Costco US calls it 6k pro
Ended up going with the qm67k through Costco, 6 years of warranty. Can’t beat that. Overall I’m very happy with the qm67k and I wouldn’t know any different unless maybe a QM7K was side by side.
Parent context: I read the same and felt the same too, but I suppose once you get the qm7 you could read about the qm8 and think that too! Either way happy with the qm67k for what it’s worth Reply: Yeah, you’re right. I just saw a video comparing the two side by side. I found the QM6K to have a cooler, blue tint which I don’t prefer. I assume I can change the color temperature in the settings. And the QM7K is noticeably brighter in scenes. Besides that I couldn’t make any real difference between the two. If the price difference was $100-200 I would get the QM7K but I don’t think it makes sense paying $500. I think I’ll stay happy with my QM67K. Thanks for your thoughts.
Was looking for the QM67K (Costco) as it came highly recommended here
Got the qm67k for that price Black Friday, all the same uses but a pretty bright living room. Been quite happy with it so far.
Try playing HDR content and check if it's too dark. That was the issue with qm67k.
Nice I got the QM67K a few months ago and I've been enjoying it ever since I bought it.
