I’ve been neck-deep in Prime Day previews lately, but when I saw the early discount on TCL’s QM7K QD-Mini LED TV, I had to pause and shout about it. Why? Because we just reviewed this exact TV, and not only did it impress, it earned our Highly Recommended Award. If you’re hunting for a premium TV experience without paying flagship prices, this deal is seriously worth a look.

Here are the current early Prime Day discounts:

That’s up to $700 off on one of the most capable TVs TCL has ever released. And this isn’t just “good for the price”—this is good, period.

In Connor’s full review of the 65QM7K, he praised TCL for what he called “a big upgrade” from last year’s model, particularly in brightness and HDR handling. And I’ve got to echo that. This thing is packed with tech.

The QM7K is powered by TCL’s QD-Mini LED backlight system. This means you get deeper blacks, brighter highlights, and more precise contrast control. The TV’s thousands of local dimming zones create stunning dynamic range, especially with HDR content. Watching Dune or Planet Earth II on this thing? Legit cinematic.

If you’re a gamer, this TV is ready for your setup. With two full-spec HDMI 2.1 ports, it supports 4K at up to 144Hz, VRR, and ALLM. The built-in Game Master mode offers overlays, low latency settings, and visual enhancements that actually feel useful. TCL's quantum dot layer gives the QM7K a vibrant, wide color gamut—think deep reds, lush greens, and electric blues. It doesn’t oversaturate like some budget TVs. It’s bold, yes, but still refined. For sports, animation, and games, it looks quite stunning.

As for the sound, no, it won’t replace a dedicated sound system, but TCL did a solid job here. The QM7K supports Dolby Atmos and includes upgraded speakers that are clean and clear, with enough kick for casual viewing. Connor noted that dialogue was easy to follow, even without subtitles, and I’d say it outperforms most TVs in this price class.

Running on Google TV, the QM7K is intuitive, fast, and customizable. Whether you’re watching YouTube, Netflix, or Plex, the interface just works. You also get hands-free Google Assistant built-in, and compatibility with Alexa and Apple AirPlay 2.

Here’s who should buy this TV:

• Movie Lovers: The HDR performance and contrast depth are top-tier for this price range.
• Gamers: With 144Hz refresh, VRR, and low input lag, this is a dream for next-gen consoles.
• Cord Cutters & Streamers: Google TV’s slick interface and app support are better than Roku and Fire TV in my book.
• Big-Screen Enthusiasts on a Budget: The 75- and 85-inch versions are absolute steals during this sale.

Anything to watch out for? Sure. No TV is perfect:

• Off-axis viewing is just okay—colors fade slightly when you’re way off-center.
• Glare can be noticeable in super bright rooms despite the high brightness output.
• No ATSC 3.0 (NextGen TV) tuner if you’re into over-the-air broadcasts.

But none of that feels like a dealbreaker, especially at these prices.

The TCL QM7K isn’t just a deal—it’s a smart buy. It delivers Mini-LED performance, high refresh rates, HDR chops, and a solid smart platform for hundreds less than its competitors. After spending time with it ourselves, it’s no surprise it earned a Highly Recommended Award in our review.

When Connor wrapped up his review, he said that “TCL QM7K is likely to be one of the best TVs you can buy at its very aggressive price point.” That’s not just reviewer talk—this is genuinely one of the best TVs under $1,500 we’ve tested in 2025.

And now that the 65-inch version is under $1,000 for Prime Day? It’s a no-brainer for anyone upgrading from an older 4K set, or stepping into Mini-LED for the first time.

Just don’t sleep on this. Early Prime Day deals like this tend to vanish fast. If you’re on the fence, I’d say grab one before they’re gone.
