TCL's also touting a 23-bit backlight controller as part of its Halo Control System, which purportedly allows finer granular control of over 65,000 levels of brightness for each LED. Other features include a new backlit remote, a new Art mode and Art gallery, thinner bezels, and Google TV for smart chores.

A built-in 2.2-channel Bang & Olufsen speaker system delivers Dolby Atmos sound, and the Google TV is onboard for streaming with a far-field mic for voice control. Gaming is also well supported on the QM7K series TVs, with 4K 144Hz for PC gaming, AMD FreeSync, and a Game Accelerator feature for 1080p 288Hz VRR.

There are plenty of visual and audio improvements on the cards, so we’re looking forward to putting the new series through its paces
