When you squeeze or double-tap, a light pulse confirms the action. Apple Pencil hover. Preview exactly where your Apple Pencil will touch down on your display. So you can write, sketch, and illustrate with even greater precision. Double-tap.

The TCL Q85H provides a complete home theater experience putting you in the center of all the action from movies, sports, music, or games. Experience Dolby Atmos and DTS:X in an entirely new way with Ray Danz Acoustic Reflectors widening the soundstage, up-firing speakers, and wireless surrounds placing sound all around you. The wireless subwoofer can be placed anywhere in the room to provide deep, rich bass. Simple connectivity with HDMI eARC, Bluetooth Music Streaming, and AirPlay 2 Streaming make it easy to listen to any content.

Best TCL has to offer!!!!
on November 24, 2025
Posted by: Arod
Verified Purchase:Yes
Best TcL has to offer. I tried the 75h and it was lacking. Personally this is a no brainer if you own a TCL. Paired nicely with the Q7mk 98 inch beats.
Samsung may be better but not enough to pay 500 extra…
10 foot ceilings and in an open floor plan and it packs a punch.

Hands down stable and fast without wasting space. Comes with an AC adaptor as well. Why use a knockout on 2 $70 controller. Stick with the official.

Charge and display your PlayStation Portal remote player with the officially licensed PowerA Charging Station for PlayStation Portal Remote Player with Lumectra. Offering an easy docking experience, the PS Portal remote player slides into place on the Charging Station to recharge and the added stability from the weighted base keeps it from moving around. A built-in RGB charging indicator keeps you informed on the charging status and can cycle between 5 lighting modes and different brightness levels. An included USB-C cable and magnetic USB-C charging adapter lets you connect it to your PlayStation5 so your PS Portal remote player can be displayed next to your console as it recharges. 2-Year Limited Warranty. *PlayStation Portal Remote Player and PlayStation5 console not included

Best TCL has…85H is the way to go

Awesome soundbar. Tried the 75H, felt it lacked…this one is up there. If you own a TCL tv this is fantastic. Pairs perfectly with the TCL q7mk 98 incher. I own wed a Samsung 990c..while not as punchy, this will satisfy at $650.

ASUS ROG Zephyrus Ultraportable Gaming Laptop. Enjoy everyday gaming with this ROG notebook PC. The AMD Ryzen 9 processor and 16GB of RAM let you run graphics-heavy games smoothly, while the potent NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 graphics produce high-quality visuals on the fast 14-inch 144hz FHD display. This ASUS notebook PC has 1TD SSD that shortens load times and offers ample storage.
 

Can I set the refresh rate to 75Hz instead of 144Hz?

Not than I am aware of. Won’t mater in frame rate at 1920

Changing the the cpu/wattage will void the warranty? I was prompted that asus will not be accountable for any direct or indirect damage from changes to those parameters. I would change these to lower the cpu/gpu temperatures when gaming.

No. Armory crate is in n the machine from ASUS. If it can’t handle it it will just back it down and throttle.

Is the whole chasis aluminium or plastic?does the full chasis feel like a macbook pro or does it feel cheap?

Feels solid nothing is going to feel like a MacBook Pro. But at this size everything was tight and solid build. Apple is a solid metal body… and you pay for it lol. I know. I have one.

Does this laptop came in black color ?

No not this actual model in the US. At least not at Best Buy. Only in silver as shown. Incidentally I returned mine for the G15. Nothing wrong with the G14 I just wanted the bigger screen and QHD. And was not fond of the whites backlight and on silver keys. Other than that no complaints on performance. Same price btw for the G15.

Its 1-amp output provides optimal charging speed, and its soft, secure surface prevents the smartphone from slipping and getting scratches.

What is Qi charging technology
