Overview
The TCL 75P8L vs TCL 75P6L question is really about refresh rate and backlight, with the 75C7K sitting above both as the colour-focused option. All three are 74.5 in 4K HVA panels at 59 ppi. The 75P8L and 75C7K use Mini LED, run 48-144 Hz with VRR and offer two HDMI 2.1 ports. The 75C7K adds FreeSync Premium Pro, 97% DCI-P3 and Dolby Vision IQ, while the 75P8L lists 93% DCI-P3 with quantum dot colour. The 75P6L has a direct LED backlight, 50/60 Hz and no Dolby Vision or HDMI 2.1 listed, but at 18 kg it is far lighter than the 23.6 kg 75P8L and 24.58 kg 75C7K.

Verdict
Bottom line
Buy the 75P6L if you want a big, light 4K Google TV for streaming at 60 Hz. Pick the 75P8L for 144 Hz Mini LED gaming with Dolby Vision, or the 75C7K for the widest gamut. The deciding factor is how much refresh rate and backlight matter to you.
