An updated version of TCL’s midrange TV, the Q65 offers support for both Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos for improved picture quality and virtual surround sound to give you a more cinematic experience at home. And with the Google TV platform, you get a preloaded suite of streaming apps like Netflix, Hulu, and Disney+ to get started watching your favorite shows and movies right out of the box. You also get access to thousands more apps like Spotify. The included remote has Hey Google voice controls built-in and support for Alexa.

Console gamers will appreciate the 120Hz refresh rate, which can be boosted to 144Hz for ultra-smooth motion during fast-paced action sequences. The set also features an automatic low-latency mode to reduce input reaction times that can cause lag between your button presses and on-screen reactions. Gamers and movie buffs can use the QLED panel’s ability to create 100% of the DCI-P3 color spectrum for better color accuracy and more lifelike images.

The TCL Q65 also features an updated, AI-assisted processor for faster and more efficient upscaling of non-4K content and enhanced picture quality at native 4K resolution. It features a built-in subwoofer for enhanced bass and richer audio when streaming music, movies, and TV shows.

Best Buy is also offering free professional installation with this TV purchase, a $399 value. This is perfect for anyone who wants to wall-mount their TV, but is wary about installing such a large screen on their own. As an added bonus, you’ll also get 3 months of YouTube Premium for free, and you can also save up to 50% on Google Nest devices like indoor/outdoor security cameras, video doorbells, and smart thermostats. Best Buy rewards members can also earn up to $100 in bonus rewards with this TV purchase.

All you have to do to take advantage of the main offer is add the 98-inch TCL Q6 to your cart, and the Best Buy website will automatically apply the discount. You’ll then receive a digital redemption code in your email for your YouTube Premium membership. To earn the $100 bonus rewards, you’ll have to sign up for a free myBestBuy membership, which will give you access to exclusive discounts and bonus rewards year-round. Members and non-members alike can save on a Google Nest device bundle by clicking on the Special Offers link on the TCL Q6 product page, then the tile that says “Save 50% on Google Nest device with TV” to pull up a list of eligible devices; the discount will automatically be applied to your cart when you add the device along with the TCL Q6.

I do have to note that while the free myBestBuy membership account will get you access to bonus rewards, to get the full $100 bonus, you’ll have to sign up for the myBestBuy Total plan, which costs $179.99 per year. The Total membership also gets you access to 24/7 Geek Squad tech support, better exclusive discounts on your favorite tech, and exclusive pricing on protection plans like AppleCare+. You can also sign up for the myBestBuy Plus plan which bills yearly at $49.99 while giving you access to free 2-day shipping and exclusive member prices on tech.

With a $1,200 discount, this is an excellent value on an already budget-friendly (relatively speaking) 98-inch TV with Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos support and a dedicated gaming mode. The 40% savings grant this a 4/5 Editor’s deal rating per ZDNET’s system, and I think this is a great buy.
