Of course, when it comes to personal data, you need to have a little signing of your life, so be careful before accepting the terms. You can also simply mute the onboard microphone on your TV and summon Google Assistant using the center key on the new Angular Remote. As for the remote control, it is backlit and generally well laid out, but the decision to move the mute key from the volume to the top left is… an option.

A light touch
Adjusting the image is almost as easy as setting up. We recommend starting with Film Maker mode. This is because it provides excellent default settings and disables flashy settings like motion smoothing. I made some tweaks starting with turning off the adaptive brightness under eye health. In SDR mode, the contrast has been retracted and the backlight has been significantly increased. Do not hesitate to crank with SDR. Some modes, like the standard, maximize the backlight that is conveying, and everything below the mid-point keeps the TV in eco mode. In HDR, the backlight is already set to the highest level as it should be.
I think most people appreciate the bright Splatier Dolby Vision show and film, but I would like to turn off smoothing the movement. Unlike many budget (and some premium) TVs, QM6K’s Dolby Vision Dark mode is perfectly usable even on dark content, but looks a bit dim and shiny.

A balanced beauty
Once locked onto the QM6K, I was pleased to discover that it offered at this level and even one of the most balanced and balanced performances seen above. The TV certainly doesn’t have a bank on its brightness. TCL claims it’s up 53% from last year, but even so, TVs are well under 1,000 knits, while Hisense’s fiery U7n is far above that mark. The QM6K doesn’t have the same vibrant pop as its model, but it adds enough punch to satisfy and illuminate HDR highlights that can be exposed to water, laser bursts and explosions.
Brightness plays a major role in any TV impact, but contrast is important, and the black level on the QM6K is the best we’ve seen in our class. While it can’t match the depth of a light-off premium QLED TV like Sony’s Bravia 9 (9/10, Wired Beconess), it holds it beautifully, not to mention the TV. Even in low lighting, aspects of the picture, such as the text box and the depth of space, look positively oily.
