Our Verdict

TCL QM751G

TCL Q651G

The TCL QM751G is better than the TCL Q651G. The QM751G is significantly brighter, so it overcomes a lot more glare in a bright room and displays much brighter highlights in HDR. Colors are also more vibrant, lifelike, and bright on the QM751G, and its local dimming feature makes displays much deeper blacks that stay deep when highlights are also on screen. The QM751G is also much better for gamers due to its HDMI 2.1 bandwidth, 4k @ 144Hz, and faster response time.
