OLED may be the pinnacle of TV panels, but they’re still pricey — even after discounts. One very good alternative, the Mini LED-backlit TCL 6-Series with HDMI 2.1 ports, has dropped to a new low price today.
TCL’s 55-inch 6-series model with Google TV is discounted to just $659.99 ($290 off) at Best Buy. Mini LED backlighting serves as a great substitute if paying OLED prices is off the table. It has excellent brightness with more control than standard LED and can maintain deeper black levels while displaying great color contrast. Sound a little familiar? It may not be quite as good as OLED, but it’s playing in the same ballpark.
Plus, this TCL TV has two HDMI 2.1 ports and support for variable refresh rates up to 120Hz at 4K resolutions — a perfect match to power the Xbox Series X, PC, and PlayStation 5. Additionally, it runs Google TV software and even supports Google Assistant voice commands with a built-in mic.
It’s hard to beat today’s deal if you’re in need of a TV that’s great for all-purpose use, especially if you watch / play in a brightly lit room and you’re on a budget. Read our review.
