Minileds, yeah right
Didn't want to write a review unless I've used this Baby. Minileds are a shocker, great color, bright, no halo effect so far. Great size for a bedroom just tone the brightness down. The internal speakers are the best brand I've heard in all my past tvs( LG and Samsung). TCL really needs to improve the operating system: it's really slow, sometimes it will freeze just choosing an app to play. For a Google TV it should be faster with cleaner responses. TCL has finally made an upper tier TV, and built for gaming a double plus. The remote feels like metal, sturdy easy to use, my wife wants her own. It's a great TV my eyes are doing their best to adjust to newer visual technologies, especially 4k and HDR videos, WOW. So many different settings to choose from sound, video, screen quality, etc. Great TV

GREAT TV! Highly recommend !
Purchased TCL QM8 65 in November and it took several weeks before it was delivered ! Was well worth the wait! Very impressed with the picture! The colors pop and picture brightness is incredible ! I was a little disppointed in the Bang&Olufsen sound system ! I would recommend a sound bar and subwoofer! I paid $897 but now there $1495! Not sure why to hugh price increase ! Was a big Sony fan but TCL is my brand right now! TCL get your prices right and you will have me as a customer for a long time! It is a great tv for under $1000!

Picture Quality up there
This is a very good TV. The picture quality is up there, blacks show up literally black. Decided to test it at 1080 with dune. It did not disappoint as dark detailed black outfits showed every design. Overall picture quality is good at 1080, Imagine it can only get better at higher resolutions. Best setting without calibration is Filmmaker mode. The colors look very accurate. Overall nice looking TV. Looks well built. Streams well, plenty of apps and sound is good. Easy to set up, nice anti glare screen, with back-lit remote.

Bright, Immersive, but Room for Improvement – Still a Strong Choice!
Coming from a Samsung QN90A, and having tried the LG G4 and G5, I just couldn’t get behind OLEDs – they lack the brightness and immersion I want, especially at this price point. Decided to take a shot on the 75” TCL QM8K, and I’m still figuring out just how good it is. Pros: ✅ Once I dialed in the settings, the brightness is impressive – though I do wish it could go a bit brighter. ✅ HDR performance is excellent for movies, and 4K Blu-rays look absolutely amazing. ✅ Gaming performance is top-notch – fast response and bright picture overall. ✅ The OS is snappy, intuitive, and changing settings is a breeze. ✅ From the front, the design is sleek and modern. Cons: ❌ Viewing angles are definitely lacking – you lose brightness and color pretty quickly off-center. ❌ The screen is very glossy, which isn’t great if your room gets a lot of light. ❌ There’s a strange dimming issue that pops up in some games and a few movies – I’m really hoping TCL can fix this with a firmware update. ❌ Brightness can be inconsistent; highlights don’t always pop the way I’d like. ❌ The TV is pretty bulky when viewed from the side or back – not the best look if your setup exposes those angles. Overall, I’d recommend the QM8K if you’re looking for a bright, immersive experience without going OLED. It delivers excellent performance for movies and gaming, but I’m crossing my fingers TCL fixes some of these quirks with future updates.

Worth the Upgrade!
I don’t usually write reviews but this TV is stunning for the price. It’s bright enough during the day, and the picture rivals an OLED at night. The remote backlight is helpful, and UI is a lot faster than the previous google models. I think what made me write this review is the sound. I had a sound bar, but my family is kinda lazy and hates having two remotes. The first night with this TV, I played some Jurassic world and the growls had noticeable bass, better than any TV I’ve ever had. I did a ton of research, and I was going to get the QM7K but this one was on sale for only about $100 more. I think it’s worth the extra price. Don’t hesitate to order, it’s worth it!

98" is just too heavy to manage warranty issues
Alas, i got one of the many panels that burn out the driver boards and spent 2 weeks so far in warranty slog... background: Worked for one week and was quite impressive picture and sound for a TV (still really should have home theater speakers though). Then the backlight failed. It is very heavy, only take the risk if it is an 'easy' first floor location, else movers are likely needed to safely move it. Service action at the house recovered the backlight for about 10 minutes, then failed again. Now waiting on the next level of support to respond. Trying to return it now. Very polite and easy to reach TCL front line agents, but no direct access to the decision makers. Lots of requests for pictures and videos and then invoice. Stalling tactic or poor process? Getting a lot of run around and my return timeline is running out. Amazon site indicate I need the original box, but installer took the box and they don't have it anymore due to its size. TCL says, " There is no need to return the unit to our facility, so not having the original box will not be an issue.", but have not provided a path to initiate the refund. Not sure if it just means it is my problem to properly dispose of the e-waste. Net net - TCL quality isn't ready for primetime and if given the size and weight - it is just much more worth it go the projector route for a home theater dark room, and stay at 85" or below for regular rooms..
