    Ready for football

    I bought this TV back in September when it was first released. In terms of color, brightness, and motion processing this tv is second to none. I have multiple OLEDs in my home and this set comes darn near that infinite contrast ratio. Highlights in HDR and in SDR really pop, colors are very vibrant and watching cooking shows nearly creates that uncanny feeling you’re actually there. The images almost appear in 3D due to the high contrast ratio. The other night we watched a slasher movie for Halloween and it felt just a little too close and too realistic in our living room. So we switched ti watching Maverick again…and wow, what a visual treat when you see fighter jets zooming by. Everything seems just so lifelike. Also, i have the tv places in my living room with plenty of ambient light coming in. Tye maximum brightness I recommend is 90 at vivid and you will literally need eye protection, as it gets incredibly bright. A couple drawbacks: gaming on this thing is meh. Also, sometimes tye software glitches and i have to readjust tye settings. However, oversall this is a superior bisual experience.

    Absolutely Stunning Picture and Incredible Value a

    We recently upgraded to the TCL 98" QM9K, and it has completely transformed our home theater. At this size, picture quality matters, and the QM9K delivers in a big way. The brightness is phenomenal, HDR highlights really pop, and the Mini-LED local dimming does an impressive job with contrast and black levels, especially for a non-OLED display. Colors are vibrant without being over-saturated, motion handling is excellent, and sports, movies, and streaming content all look fantastic. For a 98-inch screen, the image remains sharp and immersive even at closer viewing distances. Google TV runs smoothly and is easy to navigate, and setup was straightforward. We paired it with a Sonos soundbar via eARC with no issues. For a screen this large, the panel uniformity and build quality are excellent. The biggest takeaway is value. At this price point, it’s hard to imagine anything else that competes with the QM9K’s combination of size, brightness, and overall performance. Comparable models from other brands are significantly more expensive. Huge credit to Best Buy and Geek Squad as well — delivery and installation were included, professional, and stress-free, which is no small thing when you’re dealing with a 98-inch TV. If you’re considering a true big-screen upgrade and want flagship-level impact without paying flagship prices, the TCL QM9K is an easy recommendation.

    TV is great...best buy not so much

    The TV is fantastic it truly rivals my 65" LG OLED for blacks, colors abs image quality. I am disappointed in Best Buy; not only am I a BB Total member (which offers free TV Mounting) but Mounting costs (up to $339) was included as a Black Friday bonus. I prepped everything as required before the Geak Squad arrived (I even had a wall outlet installed) but they refused to mount it, they said my Vesa-600 mount wouldn't work for this Vesa-600 TV. *Not only did the mount work (i ended up Mounting it myself) but TCL confirmed by email that it would work. I reached out to BB but they said they have a "list of approved mounts" but their list is internal, only for their installers, and cannot be provided to customers so...there's no way to know if it's approved until the installers get there (and if they think it's too hard to install than your braket is not in the list).
