The TCL QM6K Pro is widely regarded as a high-value mid-range TV, particularly when purchased through Costco. Users frequently praise its snappy Google TV interface, accurate out-of-the-box color balance, and effective anti-glare coating. While it shares the same HVA panel as some higher-end models, it is primarily distinguished from the flagship series by having significantly fewer local dimming zones, which can result in less impactful HDR highlights and lower contrast in dark scenes.
Pros
- Excellent value-to-performance ratio, especially the 65-inch model.
- Snappy and responsive Google TV platform performance.
- Effective anti-glare/anti-reflective coating on the Pro model.
- Good motion handling for sports like hockey with minimal blur.
Cons
- Significantly fewer local dimming zones (approx. 500) compared to the QM7K (approx. 2500).
- Contrast quality may diminish on larger screen sizes as dimming zone counts remain static.
- Unit tends to run warm during standard operation.
- HDR highlights and deep shadow scenes are less impactful than higher-tier models.

Qm6k tends to run a little warm by default
I doubt you'd regret the QM6K. I'm really happy with my QM7 but the Q6 was much further behind than the QM6K is to the QM7K.
6K Pro has the same panel as the QM7K (though not as many local dimming zones so it won’t match the QM7K in HDR content and brightness/contrast) so it’s supposed to be brighter and better contrast than the regular 6K.
i just got the costco 75. the differences are the screen coating and all the hdmi ports are 2.1. the regular qm6k has 2 2.0 ports from what I've read.
The Costco version has the Crystglow HVA panel that is used in the 7K and 8K series. And Costco includes a 5-year warranty.

AI summary — 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.
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.

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.
