    Stunning picture

    Really impressed with this TCL QM8L 65 inch. The picture is ultra sharp and the brightness makes the picture look great in our very well lit living room. Very little glare from the windows. I also enjoy the Google TV environment and integration into our smart home system. This tv definitely competes with higher end models and is well worth the money.

    Beautiful tv!

    Holy crap this thing is amazing, just switched out from my Samsung Q80A I bought new and what a difference!! Colors are stunning, black levels are dark! The picture is so extremely clear! Gaming is on another level, I play my series X and I’ve never had a better gaming experience besides on pc. Speakers are actually not terrible, could it use a sub and soundbar? Sure.. but this is my bedroom tv mounted at the foot of the bed and is plenty of sound. The UI on here from the Samsung was worth the upgrade alone!! The Samsung was so GD slow, you would need to turn it on and let it warm up before trying to do anything. This one you turn it on and it’s ready to go. Now it’s not perfect there is some lip syncing issues I’ve noticed on some apps and minor bugs but so far 9.5/10 versus my Samsung. Never thought of TCL as a name brand but I wil be looking at them going forward. I have put the Govee tv light kit with this and I don’t think I’ll be going to the movie theater again for a long time.

    What an amazing TV from TCL!

    This 65" TV from TCL is absolutely stunning. Over the years, televisions have come a long way, and this fact is on full display with this awesome piece of tech from TCL. The first thing I noticed was the size- I was able to set up this TV by myself, but I do think it would be much easier with someone to help. Thankfully, besides installing the stand, there really isn't too much work involved. Though I would mention that this unit is heavy, so keep that in mind. Setting up the TV is very simple, as this is a Google TV, so I just needed to sign into my gmail account to complete the setup process. This was extremely easy with the included remote, and I was ready to use my TV in no time. Right out of the box, the 4K picture quality is simply amazing. The details are fantastic, the colors are vivid, and the high refresh rate means that my video games look killer as well. I really appreciate that you can easily change settings at just the press of a couple buttons, and there are some on screen explanations of what each setting does. While I have experienced HDR technology before, this TCL does it in a way that is pretty spectacular. With its ability to go up to 6000 nits of brightness, the contrast between light and dark scenes really has to be seen to be believed. For instance, I can be playing a game, walking in a darkened area, that looks nearly pitch black on screen, while a light coming into view is at full brightness. I'm probably not explaining the effect quite right, but it really is cool to see. This HDR effect works extremely well, even when I have the brightness turned way down. That is one thing I've noticed; for most picture modes, I have my brightness set somewhere around 20 out of 100, and it is PLENTY bright. Your mileage may vary, but I've found that this TV is plenty capable of displaying a stunning, clear, and bright picture, at a reasonable brightness setting. Connecting things like Apple TV or a PS5 are a breeze, due to the wide range of connection options at the rear of the TV. I also really like the sound system which is handled by Bang & Olufsen. While these speakers don't have the low end punch of a dedicated subwoofer, they are VERY capable for watching TV, movies, and video games. They are clear, detailed, and dialogue comes through great on all of the movies I watched. Honestly, there is so much advanced technology in this TV, that it makes it hard to cover everything here in this review. But that is the great thing about this model: there is an abundance of tech, but for the user, the experience is streamlined and easy to grasp. Like I mentioned before, changing settings is the easiest out of any TV I've ever used, and I feel like I'm able to see and understand what I am changing as I adjust various settings. This TV has been a joy to use, and I really think that TCL has created something that is impressive on so many levels. If you are looking for a new 65" TV, with one of the most incredible pictures on the market, you have to check out the QM8L series from TCL. I highly recommend this model, and give it 5 stars!
