QM8 Review
I’ll preface my review by saying this is my first TCL TV; all other tv’s i’ve owned have been either LG or Samsung. That being said, I had high expectations given the performance and quality of the Big 2 flagships. The Good: This tv does many things well. It’s a testament to how far TCL has come in a relatively short period of time. Graphically, this tv can compete with the likes of Samsung, Sony, and LG. At its release it was the brightest tv available and I’m partial to a very bright picture; no joke this panel can make you wince at times. The color palette is phenomenal as well but will likely take some tweeking to get just right. 4K hdr content is stunning and very comparable to OLED quality. While I use a high fidelity sound system, I found the rear speakers to be quite good. The Google TV interface is very easy to navigate and very responsive. I actually found it to have less lag and froze up less than did my Samsungs. It’s also much easier to enter the settings menu when compared to a lot of the big brands. Shortfalls: While I am very pleased with this tv, I did have a few gripes. First, some of the panel aesthetics look cheap, especially the back. I did however appreciate that the 85” and up models were actually thinner than the 65” and 75” models. I’m also not a huge fan of the two legs and prefer the center mount stand but I ended up wall mounting it so no big deal. My biggest gripe with the tv is it’s displaying of 1080 content. While I can easily say 4k content is as good as my oled, 1080 content just doesn’t look as crisp despite playing with the settings. Although the colors are great, it seems to have noticeably more blur. If you’re using the tv primarily for 4k or gaming, this won’t be an issue. Lastly, this tv is HEAVY. Weighing in at over 100 pounds, it can be awkward. All in all this is a great tv and an awesome value. At this price point there’s not much else that comes close (Hisense being the main competition). Comparing this to the Samsung QN900 or LG G series oled, I think it holds its own and is even better in some regards. If price were not a factor I probably would have gone with the Samsung, but I just didn’t feel that the price point warranted spending several thousand dollars more.

QM8 is Great
The TCL QM8 is everything we hoped for in a replacement TV. The picture jumps from the screen with vibrant colors and crisp details. I'm not a fan of the Google interface, but it is very easy to switch it to Roku .... just by inserting a Roku Streaming Stick into a HDMI port. The built-in audio system is robust. I've experienced no picture degradation with off center viewing in a 22x25 room. Best Buy delivery was as promised. I installed a Govee TV ambient backlighting system for a truly dynamic viewing experience.
