According to our television expert
With this TV and soundbar bundle, you can improve your television sound.
Thanks to Mini-LED local dimming, you can enjoy a high brightness and strong contrast.
The QLED display produces rich and pure colors.
This TV shows less bright images than the C71K.
Enjoy bright images and Virtual Dolby Atmos with the TCL 55 inches QD Mini-LED C61K 4K (2025) + TCL Q65H bundle.
TelevisionWith the TCL 55 inches QD Mini-LED C61K 4K (2025), you can enjoy a high brightness and realistic viewing experience. This 55-inch TV has Mini-LED local dimming. There are thousands of LED lights behind the screen that light up or dim individual pixels. Thanks to this, the screen is bright and full of contrast. You won't see a gray glow around bright parts of the image, such as the moon or a campfire. Thanks to the Quantum Dots behind the screen, you can see realistic colors. These tiny particles work like a type of color filter, so you only see the right colors. You can notice this in brightly-lit movies or nature documentaries.
SoundbarYou can enjoy spatial audio and a deep bass with the TCL Q65H. The soundbar has Virtual Dolby Atmos. Thanks to this technology, it seems like sound is coming to your position from all sides. During a thrilling action movie, it sounds like the fighter jet is actually flying past you. Thanks to the included subwoofer, the bass sounds stronger. This adds more depth to movies and series, so explosions in an action movie sound realistic.

I think the TCL QD Mini-LED C61K 4K (2025) is a beautiful TV with high picture quality. Thanks to the mini-LED local dimming, I can see all the details in dark images and enjoy high brightness. The TV also uses QLED technology, which makes my favorite movies and series even more colorful.
Strong contrast This TV uses mini-LED local dimming for a strong contrast between light and dark images. I love watching series like House of the Dragon, and they look great on this TV. I can see all the details in dark scenes, and bright light sources appear realistically. I sometimes notice a slight grayish cast in bright images, but this doesn't bother me.
Realistic colors Thanks to the QLED technology, the C61K's screen is colorful and even brighter. My favorite nature documentaries look vibrant, and I'm completely immersed in the story. This also makes the TV suitable for bright living rooms with plenty of natural light. Thanks to the brighter colors, reflections are less noticeable. I saw almost no reflections in our test room, without adjusting the TV's brightness.
Deep TV sound The TCL C61K has clear, crisp sound thanks to the built-in Onkyo speakers. I find the sound from the C61K speakers above average, but not as powerful as the sound from a soundbar or separate speakers. The speakers are good enough if you mainly watch TV programs or if you don't turn the volume up too high when watching a movie. For a true cinematic experience, I would recommend a separate sound system, such as a soundbar.
Design The TCL C61K has a simple design and two slim feet. The material is lightweight and feels sturdy, making it easy to move the TV. This is useful when moving or when placing the TV in a different room. All connections are located on the side of the TV and are easily accessible. The finish emphasizes functionality, which I appreciate. If you want a TV with a more luxurious look, I recommend the TCL C71K or C81K.

Great TV with excellent Google TV integration.
The picture is bright and clear, and the colors in 'Movie' mode are warm and good.
The screen is easy to adjust and includes all the features and options you'd expect.
With an inexpensive "RGB Wi-Fi E27" bulb hidden behind the screen and linked to Home Assistant, it's also easy to create a beautiful ambient light around the TV. Using a 4K video on YouTube, you can clearly see the screen's full color and performance, which are quite impressive.
Apps like Telenet TV, Netflix, VRT Max, GoPlay, VTM Go, NPO, Spotify, Plex, Kody, Auvio, RTL Play, Stremio, HBO Max, and more work perfectly on the TV, providing easy access to a wide range of streaming services and channels.
The feet stick out quite far from the front, so the TV needs to be placed quite deep (> 12cm) on the cabinet or mounted with a VESA mount.

We've been using the TV for a few days now, as well as the soundbar. We only use streaming services, so we have no experience with the tuner. The picture settings have been changed from energy-saving to automatic. Automatic means the TV adjusts to the ambient light in the room where it's located, in our case, the living room. The soundbar's bass and treble are both set to neutral levels, making the music sound fuller than with the soundbar's default settings.
The installers were very friendly. Due to my limited mobility, disconnecting the old equipment wasn't possible, but they did a great job for me.
