Customer Ratings & Reviews

It was time to replace a 10 year old LG 50” and after researching TLC and Hisense mini-led TVs, I drove an hour to the closest Best Buy to see them in person before making a decision. I had already decided that 65” was the largest for the room and $1100 was the most I wanted to spend. It was between the Hisense U8 and the TCL QM8K. Prices were comparable so it was down to visual preference. The TCL won out because in standard mode, the TCL was brighter and contrast was better in my eyes. The room it was going into is bright during the day so screen brightness was important. Now that the TV has been in our home for two weeks, I am very pleased with my decision. Although it was not the final factor, the TCL was on sale for $100 less. BTW, sound quality was not a factor since I run a streaming box into an AV receiver.

This TV has an amazing picture and the colors are so vibrant and the blacks are just as black as my Sony OLED. I was very hesitant to believe that the picture quality could be as good as an OLED, but I must say I’m a believer.

I’m a long time Sony owner and this is my first TCL purchase. I’ve had the QM8K for a week and can say without reservation that it is one of the best value TV purchases on the market. The picture quality is nothing short of amazing in relation to the price. For sports viewing, gaming and even movie watching, I give this model a 5 star recommendation. Yes, the black levels are not on par with the latest OLED screens but that should matter to only really discerning customers. I also believe Google TV is the best TV operating system on the market. Do yourself a favor and switch to apps only mode. The sound is average but aren’t they all?

Sharp, bright tv. Great reflection handling. Great off angle viewing. Quick responsive. I could go on, but for my purpose, worth every dollar . Best Buy always takes care of their purchases. I wouldn't buy a TV anywhere else.

Upgraded from a 4k LG LED. The picture on this TCL is phenomenal. The reason for the 4 star rating is because the EARC HDMI port is 2.0. I knew this going in but it still is not quite as functional as I had wished. It works fine with only the Apple TV connected to the receiver but, a gaming console connected to the receiver would cause me to lose earc capability when just watching the TV. That is because the receiver would have to be connected to an HDMI 2.1 port on the TV and sound coming from the TV would have to use the optical port. When I have guests and if the TV comes on, everyone comments on how great the picture is. I do not use and I have never heard sound from the TV. Sound has alwsys gone through the receiver.

Amazing picture. Replaced my old Samsung Qled and the difference is night and day! Love the high refresh rate, great TV to go with my PS5 Pro.

The TCL QM8K is a really great-looking TV that punches well above its weight. It has a premium, high-end feel from the front, even though it’s a little thick on the back. Google TV runs fast and smoothly and feels like a nice, modern inclusion rather than an afterthought. The TV gets very bright, which makes HDR content pop and works great in well-lit rooms. For the specs you’re getting, the price point is honestly very good, making the QM8K an excellent value overall.

Easy set up and excellent picture. TV can get really bright but clarity is very good. Sound could be better. I’m happy with the purchase.

This tv is amazing, the sound, clarity, picture and brightness. Easy to set up. The tv does produce some heat from the screen but not too bad. I have watched movies, played games and I am so glad that I purchased this tv. Highly recommend.

Great in every way. Awesome picture, gaming, etc. Better than any Samsung I've ever had!

The TCL QM8K is great TV in terms of out of the box accurate color bright whites and deep blacks. The Google OS gave us everything we needed to interface with our antenna/apps/streamers. Because of that we didn’t need a streaming box and the only cable coming from the TV was the power cord. 1080P and 4K sports and movies are GREAT on this TV. Our only negative was the fact this type of TV gives a "tail" effect to a thrown football. This is a known issue related to motion blur. and common on most LED TVs. The QM8K does allow you to make changes in the settings to minimize the “tail”.

Amazing brightness and picture quality ! You cannot purchase a tv comparable to this for anywhere near this price ! Definitely the number one best tv for the money out there !!

This is the best TV I have ever owned and I paid the least for. I have always settled for the big name brand TVs and my TV only lasted me five years. So I decided to get this TV for Christmas and it has the best picture, Even better than my other TV which cost me twice as much. I’m very very happy with this purchase, can’t say enough.

The TV image and sound are great. Color and brightness are the best you can get for the money. Only disappointment was with the Google platform, which might not be an issue for some. I prefer the UI experience and voice assistance from Roku and Fire. I also enjoy Pluto app, which Google says is not compatible.

TV is working great! Not a complaint about it. I love the brightness level.

I’ve had the TV for about 2 weeks now and after I must say this TV is great for a TCL. Great picture for sports and does very well with gaming

Been searching for a new tv for awhile and I wanted an oled but didn’t want an oled price. After research on the best tv for under 1k this hit all the benchmarks. Had it for a month so far and I love it. Picture is amazing, responsive software, and the sound is amazing it’s like having a mini sound bar I love it. High satisfied.

Awesome product- great installation by geek squad!

Great color and brightness. Some blurring of blue colors when panning, but not a huge problem. Great black colors. The screen is shiny but not horrible. Bright lights will affect viewing. Viewing angle is reduced from OLED, but works for me. Sound is good, but a sound bar is the best option. Good TV for $1500, but don't pay more than that.

Great TV. Sleek looking. Amazing picture, and sound.
