Best Overall
TCL 55P8K

The TCL 55P8K and TCL 55P7K-UK are both 55-inch 4K QLED Google TVs with Dolby Vision, HDR10+, 93% DCI-P3 color coverage and a 2-year warranty. The biggest difference is in performance: the 55P8K offers a 144Hz motion rate, 3GB RAM, 32GB storage and a stronger 2.1-channel ONKYO audio system with a dedicated subwoofer. The 55P7K-UK is more basic, with a 60Hz motion rate, 2GB RAM, 16GB storage and 2.0-channel audio. For gaming, smoother motion and better built-in sound, the 55P8K is the stronger option, while the 55P7K-UK can make sense for everyday streaming and TV viewing.

Verdict

The TCL 55P8K is the better overall choice, particularly for gamers, sports viewers and users who want stronger built-in audio and more responsive smart-TV performance. Its 144Hz motion rate, AMD FreeSync, 2.1-channel ONKYO sound and 32GB storage give it a clear advantage. The 55P7K-UK remains a capable 4K QLED TV for regular streaming and entertainment, but its 60Hz motion rate, 2GB RAM and 16GB storage make it less appealing if the price difference is small.
