Budget mini-LED TV deal: The 75-inch TCL QM6K is almost 50% off

SAVE $620: As of April 28, the 75-inch TCL QM6K Mini-LED QLED 4K TV is on sale for $679.99 at Best Buy, saving you $620 or around 48%.

My household switched to the TCL QM6K as our living room TV in the fall, and I’ve been recommending it to everyone since — at full price, too. But as of April 28, you can snag the best budget mini-LED TV for nearly 50% off at Best Buy: The 75-inch TCL QM6K is down to $679.99 from its usual $1,299.99, saving you $620.

$679.99 sounds like even more of a steal when you compare it to the 65-inch version, which is on sale for $649.99 — you’d be getting 10 more inches of diagonal screen for just $30 extra. For comparison, there’s a $200 price difference between the 55-inch and 65-inch QM6K models right now.

$679.99 matches its lowest price ever according to price tracker camelcamelcamel and beats the sale price at TCL’s own website, where the 75-inch model is going for $899.99.

The TCL QM6K is lit by a panel of thousands of tiny LED bulbs that can brighten and dim independently of other zones of bulbs in the screen. This inch-by-inch precision provides deeper blacks and starker contrast than a regular LED TV or non-mini-LED QLED TV. Shadowy parts of dark scenes stay dark yet legible (not just gray) in dark rooms, while muting the annoying hazy glow that typically hovers around bright objects.

One of my most notable QM6K experiences has been rewatching Game of Thrones. I can actually see the intricacies of important interactions and facial expressions in night scenes lit by just a candle or a torch — groundbreaking. The third season of House of the Dragon will be my first HOTD experience with a nice TV, so you can imagine I’m counting down the days until June 21.

Alternatively, a mini-LED QLED TV is an excellent TV choice for watching sports, especially in the daytime. If you’re a big FIFA person, the QM6K will be your best friend during the World Cup.
