TVs & Display Panels: How to Choose Between Big-Screen Home Theater and Gaming Features

Compare four TCL and Samsung TVs by screen size, listed price, smart platform, display wording, and gaming features. The 98-inch QM8K targets room-filling viewing, while the 65Q77K, 55QM6K PRO, and Samsung M70H serve different priorities.

Last updated Aug 24, 2026

Choosing among TVs & display panels usually comes down to a trade-off: do you want a room-filling home-theater image, gaming-focused features, a smaller screen with broad connections, or the lowest listed price? These four TCL and Samsung models split those priorities clearly, so the right choice depends more on your room and intended use than on one headline specification.

Quick take

Start with the TCL QM8K Series when screen scale leads the decision. Choose the TCL 55QM6K PRO when picture controls and gaming belong in the same brief. The Samsung M70H fits a smaller-screen and connection-focused setup, while the TCL 65Q77K is the price-led QLED choice with gaming features.

Listed-price comparison

The listed prices cover a wide range, from the TCL 65Q77K at USD 259.99 to the TCL QM8K Series at USD 2,391.04.

Decision matrix

  • Screen scale: The TCL QM8K Series is listed at 98 inches, followed by the TCL 65Q77K at 65 inches, the TCL 55QM6K PRO at 55 inches, and the Samsung M70H at 43 inches.
  • Gaming path: The TCL 55QM6K PRO and TCL 65Q77K list 144Hz, Variable Refresh Rate, and Auto Low-Latency Mode. The QM8K lists 120Hz, while the Samsung M70H lists 60Hz and Game Mode. These are different specifications rather than a blanket ranking.
  • Smart platform: Google TV is named for the TCL 55QM6K PRO and TCL 65Q77K. The Samsung M70H uses Tizen.

Product notes

TCL QM8K Series 4K Mini-LED Smart TV

TCL 98" QM8K Series 4K Mini-LED Smart TV (2025

Choose the TCL QM8K Series when a room-filling home-theater image is the priority. Its title identifies a 98-inch 4K Mini-LED Smart TV, and the description adds a CrystGlow WHVA anti-reflective panel, HDR, vibrant color, and crisp detail from different seats. The 4K maximum resolution reinforces that picture brief. The clearest limitation is the condition: Certified - Refurbished. It is also the highest-priced entry here. That combination makes sense for someone deliberately planning around a very large display, rather than simply replacing a smaller set.

TCL 55QM6K PRO

TCL 55QM6K PRO 55" Class QM6K Series 4K UHD HDR QD-Mini LED Smart Google TV

Reach for TCL 55QM6K PRO if QD-Mini LED picture features and a gaming-oriented description are both priorities. Its description names full-array local dimming, up to 500 dimming zones, an anti-reflective CrystGlow HVA panel, and a 4K maximum resolution. Those details give the set a defined picture-focused brief without requiring a room-sized screen. The limitation is its listed Open box condition, which makes it a poor fit for shoppers specifically seeking the Certified - Refurbished designation attached to QM8K. The 55-inch class positions it between the smaller Samsung and larger TCL choices.

Samsung M70H

Samsung M70H 43" Class 4K Mini LED HDR Smart TV (2026

Samsung M70H suits a shopper who wants a smaller screen and a broad connection mix. Its description identifies Mini LED HDR, HDR10+ support, Filmmaker Mode, local dimming, Motion Xcelerator, and Object Tracking Sound Lite. Its input list names Bluetooth, digital optical audio, HDMI, and USB, giving connected-device shoppers several named paths. The limitation is the listed 60Hz refresh rate, a different specification from the 144Hz TCL sets. The Open box condition is another concrete point to weigh before choosing it, particularly if your setup centers on the motion specifications in the matrix.

TCL 65Q77K

TCL 65Q77K 65" 4K UHD HDR QLED 144Hz Smart Google TV Refurbished

TCL 65Q77K is the match for a QLED set with a gaming-oriented feature list and a 65-inch title. The description includes HDR Pro+, Dolby Vision, HDR10+, HDR10, HLG, Dolby Atmos, Apple AirPlay 2, and built-in Google Chromecast. Those details cover picture formats, audio, and device connections in one package. Its limitation is the display wording: the title says QLED, while TCL 55QM6K PRO explicitly says QD-Mini LED, so shoppers prioritizing that exact phrase should choose QM6K instead. The listed input summary is HDMI and USB.

Final recommendation by use case

  • Room-filling home theater: Choose the TCL QM8K Series for its 4K Mini-LED title, HDR description, anti-reflective panel, and 98-inch screen. Its listed price is USD 2,391.04 and its condition is Certified - Refurbished.
  • 144Hz gaming setup: Choose TCL 65Q77K when its QLED title phrase and the 144Hz, Variable Refresh Rate, and Auto Low-Latency Mode combination fit your priorities. The listed price is USD 259.99.
  • QD-Mini LED gaming: Choose TCL 55QM6K PRO for its QD-Mini LED wording, local dimming, and gaming-oriented controls. Its listed price is USD 499.99 and its condition is Open box.
  • Smaller screen and connections: Choose Samsung M70H when Tizen and its named Bluetooth, optical, HDMI, and USB inputs matter more than the 144Hz path. Its listed price is USD 334.60.
