The TCL R646 offers better overall performance, especially for watching movies and gaming, due to superior picture quality and higher refresh rate, beneficial for fast-moving content. It also has a brighter display, which is ideal for sunny rooms. However, it's more expensive compared to the TCL Q6, which is still a solid choice for general TV watching and casual gaming at a substantially lower price. The TCL Q6 may struggle with fast-paced sports and games due to a lower refresh rate. Neither is the best option for dark room viewing, as both have limitations in black uniformity and local dimming performance. Give Feedback

About TCL

TCL, the highly recognizable TV brand from China, has firmly established itself as the second-largest manufacturer in terms of sales volume. Renowned for striking an impressive balance between affordability, picture quality, and design, TCL TVs deliver a compelling overall package. While they have traditionally excelled in the low-end and midrange TV segments, TCL has recently made remarkable strides in the realm of high-end televisions, introducing impressive models that rival top competitors. Most TCL TVs use Roku software which is very user friendly and easy to use, but they have a few other models that use Google TV which has the largest app selection, but is not as user friendly as Roku.
