Top 3 picks
Hisense U6SF Series Mini-LED
Why we picked this
Best Overall: Full-array Mini-LED local dimming gives movies stronger contrast and deeper-looking blacks than the TCL Q651G, while the glare-free screen helps in brighter rooms. It costs more than the Best Value pick but remains a strong balance of cinematic image quality and value Fire TV rather than Google TV, though it is an allowed platform.

TCL Q651G QLED
Why we picked this
Best Value: The lowest-cost choice, with a large 65-inch 4K QLED screen and Google TV. It is suitable for general movie watching, but its direct-lit backlight lacks local dimming, so black levels and dark-scene contrast are weaker than on the two Mini-LED alternatives.

TCL QM7L QD-Mini LED
Why we picked this
Premium Pick: The strongest movie-focused option here, combining QD-Mini LED full-array local dimming with broad HDR support and Google TV. It should deliver better contrast, brightness, and HDR impact than the other two recommendations It exceeds the $800 base budget by $99.99, but remains within the permitted Premium Pick cap.
