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.

Parent context: Wait till you see oled bro 😎 cause even at the Dolby theater I can still see the limits of the contrast coming from a LG at home Reply: no offense but this is a goofy ass take. I only own oleds but even i can admit how fuckin near perfect this looks. and then you see how bright it gets too and its just clearly a better choice for 85-90% of users.
Mostly summed up as: More dimming zones. Better processor. DV2 coming.
I’m in the same boat as OP, and with QM8L’s feature set, I’m going QM8L.
So QM8L is SQD, and therefore has better color saturation, a better processor for upscaling, will get DV2, and has 4 hdmi 2.1 ports.
I have a QM8L 98' in a bright room and the picture is incredible!!
