Overview
Bang & Olufsen tuning is the unusual feature of the TCL 55QM7K, a 54.6-inch 4K TV for living rooms where sound matters as much as the picture. The HVA panel runs at 80 ppi with a 48–144 Hz range, variable refresh, 97% DCI-P3 and a 10-bit signal, with HDR10, HDR10+, HDR10+ Gaming and Dolby Vision support. A 60 W audio system is built in, and the TV weighs 14.51 kg. It is a good match for gaming and film nights in a mid-size room.
