Overview
With the TCL 85QM851G you get an 84.6-inch 4K VA panel at 52 ppi, a 48–144 Hz range and variable refresh. It uses a 10-bit (8-bit + FRC) signal and supports HDR10, HDR10+, Dolby Vision and Dolby Vision IQ. The speaker setup is listed as two pairs of 10 W, and the TV weighs 48.1 kg, so installation needs planning. It suits big rooms where the screen is the centrepiece and a soundbar is a likely addition. It is a sensible pick for a family room that wants an 85-inch screen without paying for the very top of the range.
