Is this the BEST Value 4K TV of 2025? 1788 Nits for £649 [TCL C7K / QM7K QD Mini LED TV Review]

TCL is shaking up the mid-range market with the TCL C7K Mini LED TV. We're diving deep to find out if this set, starting at just £649 for the 55-inch model, delivers a game-changing combination of features and power. (The QM7K is more or less the same TV and is available in the US.)

While there is no such thing as the perfect TV, and this C7K does have a few of the usual LCD drawbacks like viewing angles and some haloing and blooming, its new HVA panel also produces superb contrast. Add to this some very good local dimming and Mini LED tech, delivering an incredible peak brightness of 1788 nits (5% window) and solid full-screen brightness of 655 nits, making it an ideal choice for a bright living room. It’s also fully agnostic, supporting HDR10, HDR10+, Dolby Vision, and Dolby Vision IQ.

The TCL C7K is also a very good *Gaming TV*. You get two full-bandwidth HDMI 2.1 ports with support for 4K/144Hz (PC) and 4K/120Hz (PS5/Xbox Series X), alongside AMD FreeSync Premium Pro and a blisteringly fast 4.7ms input lag at 120Hz.

The TCL C7K is an impressive set for the bargain hunter. If your budget is mid-range but your demands are high-end, you simply must audition this TV.
