New for 2025

QM6K (55-inch)

The QM6K is the entry point into real mini-LED, a 55-inch set that brings local dimming, quantum-dot color, and Dolby Vision down to a budget that used to buy only basic edge-lit LCDs. It is a 2025 model aimed squarely at value shoppers, so it is brighter and more contrasty than any standard LED TV in its price band, though its modest zone count and 60Hz-to-120Hz panel (depending on configuration) mean it is a step below the brighter QM851G. For a secondary TV, a bedroom, or a first 4K HDR set on a strict budget, it delivers a genuine modern picture without asking for much money. Just temper expectations on peak brightness and gaming features against the pricier mini-LEDs above.

How the Buy-timing Score is calculated

We combine today's price position within this product's own 12-month range, its distance from the all-time low, and the recent trend. The score reflects price timing and is the same in every market; only the displayed prices and retailers change. We never accept payment to change a score. Read the full methodology →
