Our Verdict

TCL QM7K

TCL QM7L

The QM7L is a bit better than the TCL QM7K overall, but the QM7K does have some advantages. The QM7L is much brighter, so it does a better job handling glare in a bright room. That extra brightness also allows highlights to pop out more in HDR content, and it has an advantage when it comes to color vibrancy. On the other hand, the QM7K offers clearer motion when gaming, and it doesn't overbrighten HDR content nearly as much as the QM7L does.
