Our Verdict
TCL QM7K
Roku Pro Series 2025
The TCL QM7K is better than the Roku Pro Series 2025. The TCL displays deeper blacks, so it looks better in a dark room. The TCL does a better job cleaning up low-quality content and upscaling low-resolution content, and it displays HDR content at a more accurate brightness level. Additionally, the QM7K offers 4k @ 144hz and 1080p @ 288Hz, and it has less motion blur, so it offers more for gamers.
