Customer Ratings & Reviews

Tv is bright. Almost too bright on vivid and standard settings. Colors are outstanding. No viewing angle issues anywhere in large room. Wife and kids mostly watch movies and I use for sports. No motion issues at all. Only negative is I cannot seem to figure out how to pair this tv with my Xfinity remote

I got this TCL MiniLED television to replace an 8 year old flat screen. I have another MiniLED TV in our family room and have been really impressed with that so I was excited to get this one. I had multiple issues with this TV. First, the audio is really bad. I expect audio to be sub-par on these newer TVs, but was hoping for better with the Bang & Olufsen speakers. No such luck. My wife and I both felt it was near unusable with the built-in speakers. That being said, I usually buy a sound bar for our TVs anyway since it makes such a big difference. The next issue I had was ghosting or motion blur. This is when you see trails behind fast moving images on the screen. The majority of the shows I watch on TV are sports related, so this was a huge issue for me. I was watching a baseball game and could see a white blue behind any thrown or hit balls. Initially, I thought I could eliminate it in the settings and I spent a long time trying different tweaks to the settings, but couldn't get rid of it. Perhaps there is a way to eliminate this, but it should be a lot easier to find if there is a setting. When we were watching anything other than sports, we never had an issue with motion blur, which is why I gave this a 3 star rating. I go to my primary TV to watch all sports now. On the positive side, the picture is very bright and colors display accurately. It has standard mounting options so I was easily able to install my existing mount onto the TV and hang it on the wall. It comes with GoogleTV operating system so getting that setup was relatively easy also. One other negative that I ran into was using a sound bar via the optical input. If you do this, the TV remote cannot control volume of the sound bar. This turns out to be pretty annoying since you need to keep two remotes around...one to control the TV (on/off, channel, etc.) and a separate one for the audio. I never had this issue on other TVs so I'm not sure if this is true for all TCL TVs or just this one. Overall, this TV is OK. Even though it has a football player on the box, it is not great for watching sports due to the motion blur. Watching everything else seems fine. Audio is also not great. For the suggested retail price and the issues is see with it, I would not recommend this TV.

I drank the kool-aid for all of the online reviews that talked about how good this set was. And it is a good set. The brightness and color reproduction are very good for a mid range set. However, this set (and it would appear most TCL sets) have issues with displaying a quality dolby vision image (the images look washed out). None of the Internet or YouTube reviews that I read discussed this. However, an AI search revealed this info. However, the set looks fantastic displaying HD and HD10+ video. I was ready to return the set because I use DV on my other two high sets and the images are top notch. However, once I attached an AppleTV 4K to the QM8K and set the output to HD/HD+, I was very impressed and decided to keep the set.

I have not had the TV very long, but so far it is impressive. Out of the box colors can vary by viewing mode, so it will require some tweaking, but it is bright. Sound is better than I expected but you do have to turn it up pretty high. I recommend at minimum a soundbar. Streaming 4k looks very good and HD sources can vary by where they are coming from. Very happy so far.

I got this TV on sale for $999. At that price, I find it to have an excellent picture with a little fine tuning. However, the shiny surface of the screen reflects everything behind you. I find that very odd in a supposedly high end set. The remote is garbage. It doesn't even have number keys for direct channel selection when watching broadcast TV. The remote on my LG TV had a pointer you could use by pointing and clicking. With this remote, you have to click click click over and click click click up and down to make selections. It's a pain in the neck. The buttons are also not embossed or raised so you can't really tell what you are pressing without looking. The stand takes up so much room, I had to balance my sound bar on it and the soundbar blocks reception of the remote. The little subwoofers on the back of the set are inline with the screw holes for the mounting brackets so you have to find a specific size bracket if you want to wall mount the TV. The sound adjustments are rather limited and I narely notice any difference in the different pre-canned sound settings. I find the sound leveling capabilities to be very poor. I am back to getting blasted by commercials or when changing sources. My previous TV (LG Nanocell 9 series) magically leveled the sound over all sources. I wish this TV did as well. If I had to pay any more than $999, I would most likely be very disappointed in this TV. Its main redeeming factor is a beautiful and bright picture with very deep blacks and amazing color, providing the source is very high resolution. The TV does a horrible job of displaying lower resolution pictures.

Deep colors and blacks. Very impressive for not being an OLED. Gaming looks and feels great.

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.

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”.

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.

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 !!

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

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.

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 picture quality and love the refresh rate. One smaller aspect that I like about it is the backlighting on the remote

Picture is great for any 4k bluray and Dolby vision streams handles HDR really well after calibration. Way oversaturated in game mode but after tweaking pretty good. Sports not so hot can barely see a football flying maybe a software update will make a few things happen. When using built in apps if you go into settings while watching content the picture pauses but going back and re doing it keeps the picture going. Sound is ok.

Moved up from a 15 year old HD LCD tv. The picture is awesome. I am not very knowledgeable about all the settings, so pretty much using as right out of the box and still very happy with the picture quality (color, brightness, and sharpness). I just use the presetting for the various picture and sound modes. For me, the speakers are more that adequate and a big improvement from what I have had in the past. I am not interested in having a separate sound system and see no need unless you have a room set up as a home theater. The Dolby Vision and Sound are great to me. Infrequently, I do notice some pixelating when streaming 720p or 1080p. I looked at many reviews and this TV was supposed to have better than average upscaling. Maybe many other comparable TVs for the price would be the same or worse including the QM6K and QM7K.

This TV was purchased as a replacement to a 2022 Hisense U8 and I couldn't be happier. I have usually gone with Hisense for my TVs, but decided to go with TCL's counterpart based on some online reviews. Although viewing abgles are still lackluster with this panel technology, every other aspect of this TV's picture quality has been superb, right down to the motion handling which has historically been a problem on these "budget premium" TVs. Would highly recommend!

This TV will blow your mind. You will feel like you re actually on the production set watching all the action. The sound is incredible! Its like having a surround sound system already set up without having to purchase anything additional. I was heaitatnt to pay the money at first, but now i couldnt imagine not having it. My favorite TV ever!!!

Very easy setup. Delivery was seamless. Color and brightness is fantastic. Motion is clear and detailed.

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.
