Worthy choice for bright living room
I was looking for a new TV for the living room. I have been a big fan of OLED and I have an LG C3 in my media room. However, I was concerned that I needed more brightness since our living room is not as light controlled as a media room. I decided on going with a Mini LED TV for this reason. I have been really impressed with the brightness and color on the TCL QM9K. Coming from an OLED I knew the black level and contrast would not be as good. Honestly the boost in brightness and color far exceed any shortfall in black level. I have not been distracted by any blooming at all. So why the QM9K? I really thought I would buy the Sony Bravia 9. However, this TV is $1,000.00 cheaper and "close enough" to the Bravia 9 in my opinion. I also considered the QM8K, but the QM9K was only $500.00 more at the 85" size. The additional dimming zones and brightness were worth it to me. In all, I am pleased with my decision and purchase. Highly recommended value!

Tuning is a hassle
This tv required constant adjustments across difference platforms. If there is a sweet spot, I couldn't find it. When you get it right, it looks good, but too much messing around for me. Returning it.
