Our Verdict
Roku Plus Series QLED
TCL Q6/Q650G QLED
The TCL Q650G and Roku Plus Series QLED are comparable TVs with different strengths and weaknesses. The TCL is generally the better gaming TV, as it can do 1080p and 1440p @ 120Hz with resolution halving and has a matching wide VRR range. However, the Roku is the better-looking TV of the two, with much better contrast due to its local dimming feature, a wider color gamut, superior color accuracy, and a faster response time for less blur in fast-moving content.
