Love the Picture Quality and Incredible Refresh Rate.

Nice and big TV…. Nice color picture. Big sale! I owned Samsung TV in many years.

TV is great, went from an LG C1 to this and no regrets. Definitly not OLED quality but close enough. Good quality and great price.

Executive summary: With the QM8K, TCL has provided a premium television with a mid-level price tag. Screen performance is excellent, with the mini-LED backlighting providing more than enough brightness and excellent blacks. A few quirks cost it a star in my opinion, but this is a very nice TV that deserves a look if you’re in the market. TCL is known for providing good value in their TV offerings, but this is the first TCL TV I’ve had. Even though I have a 65” TV already, it’s several years old and technology has improved considerably. This TCL QM8K mini-led offers the right mix of innovation and performance. It’s not the cheapest 65” TV out there, but for the price it’s hard to find one with these features and quality. Setup was pretty easy. I chose to utilize my phone for the setup, which required me to download and install the Google Home app. This is necessary if you want to take advantage of voice commands with Google Assistant, but you can choose to do a simplified setup without it. I didn’t want to miss out on any features, so I used this recommended path. The setup routine offers the option to set up individual apps using QR codes on my phone, which was nice. Overall, it made for an easier time getting everything ready to go. Apple Air Play is also supported, but it too requires their home app to be installed in order to set it up. Although my internet connection was fine for everything else, Air Play complained that it couldn’t find my connection and it timed out. Given that literally everything else uses that connection, it’s annoying that this happened. Is it due to the rivalry between Google and Apple? Who knows? This TV uses Google TV for its screen and app management, and I think it’s quite nice. I’ve used other content managers from Samsung, Sharp, and Roku, and Google TV compares favorably with those. I really like the presentation and the way that it integrates content from all your streaming apps, as well as free content and content available for purchase. The overall presentation of content and settings is well done and easy to navigate. The inclusion of a settings button on the remote is a very nice touch. Adding new apps is easier than I’ve found it to be on other manufacturers’ proprietary systems. TCL includes speakers tuned by Bang & Olufsen, and they actually sound pretty good. Choosing custom sound enables Beosonic, which allows for simple adjustments to the sound quality to get it the way you like it. This TV features a very thin border around the screen which relegates the speakers to the back of the unit. Sound quality is good, but rear-firing speakers don’t sound quite as clear and require higher volume. A wall-mounted configuration helps by bouncing the sound off the wall. Because of that, I prefer to utilize either a soundbar or home theater audio. I connected my soundbar using the eArc feature, which I thought was supposed to provide plug and play sound setup. Unfortunately, I experienced a lot of issues with lip synching of the audio, and one time the sound bar cut out entirely when I chose a different screen brightness setting. Hooking up the TV to an older home theater receiver didn’t have these issues, but also doesn’t support the newer features supported by eArc. All in all, I found it a little frustrating to get the audio set up the way I wanted it, but perhaps the issue is my soundbar. The included stand is nice and it’s easy to attach with just 4 screws. The inclusion of a wire-management system is a thoughtful touch and adds to the clean aesthetic of this TV. The back of the TV features a 200 x 200 VESA pattern for wall mounting, which was easy to pair up with my wall mount. Coming from my old TV, the TCL has much truer blacks and the detail is excellent. This is thanks to their use of mini-led technology and accurate localized dimming. One of my pet peeves is the blooming that I sometimes see on darker scenes on other TVs. This TV has none of that kind of behavior, and that makes the experience much more enjoyable. This is one of the things that TCL highlights in their advertising, and they delivered on their promise. The core functionality for any TV is the screen quality. TCL touts a number of innovative technologies that they used to make the screen on this one special. I must say that I give this screen high marks. Resolution is excellent, blacks are dark, and the brightness level surpasses most other TVs I’ve owned or used. There are lots of options for tweaking the screen to your liking, and that means that you can get the optimal settings for your environment. Nothing is more annoying than having a TV that can only really be used at night when it doesn’t have to compete with ambient light. This one is a champ! TCL touts the wide viewing angles, and they’re right—this thing looks great no matter where you are in the room. The native 144 Hz screen refresh rate ensures that motion sequences look good. Like other TVs with an underlying Android operating system, this one needs a minute to “wake up” when you first turn it on. I often got a message saying “internet connection lost” that would resolve and go away, usually within a minute. This isn’t that big of a deal, but given that TVs are not completely off when you turn them off, it’s surprising that this happens. Instant-on is the expectation these days, so it’s a bit jarring to see that your apps aren’t connected. The bottom line is that this is a very nice TV that delivers on its promises. The screen is gorgeous and fast, and it delivers blacks that rival OLED, without the issues that come with OLED. This TV can stand with the best, but at a better price point. It seems like TCL is moving toward more premium products, and this is a good example. If I can get years of good service out of it, I’ll be a TCL fan!

Amazing picture and clarity,best tv I had in my life.

It is a decent TV. Its picture quality is good. By buying this TV, you will have the maximum picture quality with minimum price ever.

Awesome Picture! Intuitive interface. No blur on sports channels!

This is an excellent tv where there are many things to love and a few characteristics that are not deal breakers but could be improved. First, this tv has all the smart features any novice or expert would be pleased with. The google tv functionality has very easy setup, including getting you connected to your network in a snap. The streaming apps available are all the usual ones you’d expect to find such as Netflix, Prime , Max and so on. The apps are very responsive and launch with no delay with smooth playback and functionality. This tv has peak brightness. It looks excellent in a bright room and looks excellent in a dark room with vibrant colors, deep black levels with no blooming and contrast is exceptional. It wasn’t perfect out of the box so it does require a little bit of a tweak to get optimal picture. The audio is above average with Dolby Atmos and fills an average size room with plenty of theater like sound. I would recommend a secondary sound system as with most tvs. I am not a huge gamer but the performance was amazing on my PS5. The 144Hz refresh rate and VRR support makes gaming an electric experience with zero lag. The graphics looked amazing and gameplay was smooth. As far as streaming viewing, the 4k ultra HD I provides an outstanding picture and for an everyday tv you will be pleased. The viewing angles were good as I didn’t really notice any drop in quality when viewing from the side. The only slight issue I ran into was the glossy screen finish did provide a bit of a glare with overhead lights. It wasn’t a deal breaker but it was a minor annoyance and why I could not give the full 5 stars. It is a common issue with glare when you have a glossy screen. I see this in most tvs. Most probably will not watch tv with overhead lights on full brightness but if you have a bright sun hitting the screen please beware of a potential glare. All in all I think this is a tv that will provide excellent entertainment viewing with a bonus if you are a gamer.

Beautiful picture as expected. Great upgrade from my older tv.

I love this television. It was on sale for $999 i could not pass that up.

Brand new TV used less than 5 hours. Turned it on today, and no sound at all. Checked to see if the mute button had been pressed and it hadn't. Checked audio settings, nothing would get the audio to work. Unplugged the TV and waited 10 minutes before plugging it back in and turning it on, and the audio came back. There is obviously something wrong with the TV, and I hope this doesn't keep happening or I'll have to buy a soundbar I guess... Not happy. Be careful buying ANY TCL products, even the expensive ones. I have had serious problems with other TCL products in the past, and I should have known better.

WOW! such an improvement of video and audio quality over previous TV. So happy with this item. Grandson was able to get it set-up quickly!

QM8k open box – like new, excellent quality! Can’t complain with this price.
