MiniLED monitor with 300Hz refresh rate for 5 thousand! This unique TCL model got a nice discount in the Czech Republic

Mini LED backlighting in a gaming monitor for the price of a cheaper IPS? That’s exactly what the TCL 25G64 offers, which you can currently buy on Alza for 4,990 CZK instead of the original 5,990 CZK. Additionally, you get an extended TCL warranty worth 3,990 CZK as a gift. If you are interested in current availability, price, and detailed specifications, you will find everything clearly in the product detail on Alza.

Quick summary:
✅ Makes sense if you are looking for a fast gaming monitor with significantly better image quality than standard IPS panels in this price range.
⚠️ Consider if you need a higher resolution (it’s Full HD) or if you are sensitive to PWM flickering – for this model, we recommend trying it out in person.
💡 For 4,990 CZK you get Mini LED, 300 Hz, 10-bit colors, and 97% DCI-P3 – that’s a combination you won’t find elsewhere in this budget.

Why the TCL 25G64 is interesting

In the price category around five thousand crowns, you usually get a decent IPS panel with a higher refresh rate, but nothing visually exceptional. The TCL 25G64 adds QD-Mini LED backlighting with 180 dimming zones to the equation, which significantly enhances contrast and HDR content quality. In practice, this means deeper blacks (though not at OLED levels), vibrant colors thanks to the QD layer, and a decent peak brightness of around 600 nits. Furthermore, TCL has used its latest halo effect control technology in this model, so blooming – a typical drawback of Mini LED – is, according to users, minimal with reasonable settings.

300 Hz and response that doesn’t lag

The main parameter for gamers is clear: 300 Hz at 8-bit depth, or 240 Hz with full 10 bits. The 1 ms GTG response time is confirmed in practice by independent tests – users on Alza mention that ghosting is minimal at 300 Hz and practically imperceptible during normal gaming. The monitor supports AMD FreeSync Premium and is G-Sync compatible, so it doesn’t matter what graphics card you have. One reviewer directly confirms that G-Sync works without issues with an RTX card.

Color coverage of 97% DCI-P3 and a delta-E below 2 are exceptional values for a monitor costing less than five thousand crowns. Several users appreciate that the colors look good right out of the box and no complex calibration is needed.

Practical aspects: ports, stand, connectivity

The monitor offers both HDMI 2.1 and DisplayPort 1.4. An important practical note: one user states that they couldn’t get 300 Hz to run via an HDMI cable and had to use the included DP cable – so if you plan for maximum refresh rate, count on DisplayPort. The package includes an ergonomic stand with height adjustment and pivot.

What users say

On Alza, the TCL 25G64 has a rating of 4.9 out of 5 (7 ratings, over 100 units sold). The return rate is very low – 2.26%. Users most often praise the image quality, colors, and performance-to-price ratio. There is repeated surprise at how well Mini LED works even on such a small diagonal.

Among the weaker points, blooming is primarily mentioned – with local dimming enabled, a slight glow may appear around bright objects on a dark background. When local dimming is set to “Standard” or “Medium,” most reviewers find it acceptable. Furthermore, some users point out PWM flickering when local dimming is off, which may not suit everyone – if you have sensitive eyes, it’s worth trying the monitor in person. Overdrive settings and a service USB port for firmware updates are also missing, which is a minor disadvantage for some.

When it doesn’t make sense

If you need a higher resolution, this is not the monitor for you – it’s Full HD, meaning 1920 × 1080. For text work or creative applications, you’ll want more pixels. Similarly, if you’re looking for OLED-level blacks without any blooming, Mini LED won’t provide that. And if you plan to use the monitor in a very bright room with the display facing a window, while the matte surface helps, reflections might be more pronounced than you’d expect, according to one user.

Verdict: who it’s worth it for

If you play competitive or action games and want a monitor that visually offers significantly more than a standard IPS panel, the TCL 25G64 for 4,990 CZK is a very hard-to-beat offer right now. QD-Mini LED, 300 Hz, 10-bit colors, decent HDR, plus an extended warranty worth almost four thousand free – that’s a combination of parameters for which you would pay substantially more elsewhere. However, if you need a higher resolution or have sensitive eyes to PWM, look for alternatives instead – just prepare a higher budget.

When it comes to a gaming monitor, do you prioritize speed or image quality? Or both?
