Customer Ratings & Reviews

I am thrilled with this TV, holds up well against my Sony Bravia 9. Brightness and picture quality are excellent as well as blacks. Upscaling and motion handling good too; off angle viewing is also pretty good.

I don't usually post my rating/review for a product but for this one i had to. This is a excellent TV for the price, don't let the brand TCL dissuade you (other more popular brands use panels from TCL FYI). Once I changed a few settings, just wow the brightness and clarity and richness of the colors is just so beautiful. It comes pretty darn close to a OLED TV and for me the small difference in OLED vs this mini LED is not worth the extra $1.5k. You'll be very happy with this TV and for most casual viewers it will tick off all the boxes you want out of a TV. It comes with google tv which so far is the smoothest operating system compared to other brand UI junk (samsung, LG). I have this TV paired with a soundbar and an apple tv and it has been an amazing experience. The inbuilt speakers are alright, for me once you have a soundbar its hard to go back to TV speakers.

This is a great TV. Awsome picture and brightness.

The TV is great and the picture quality is equally great. A lot of people compare this TV to OLED's and say its equal to or better than them but I don't agree. Don't get me wrong the picture quality is amazing and can get better when you calibrate it but I still think my LG OLED has a better overall picture. Delivery Debacle 1 I gave this TV 4 out of 5 stars solely bc of best buy and the delivery issues I had. The initial delivery appt was between 2pm through 5 pm and around 6pm with no TV I decided to call best buy to get a status. I gave the support person all my info and was told that my TV was never put on the truck so it would not be delivered today. Mind you they never once called me and I had to reach out to them to get a status so needless to say I was not happy. I said okay what is the delivery time going to be tomorrow and they said it won't be tomorrow and there aren't any delivery openings for 7 days. I said so let me get this straight, you guys (Best Buy) mess up and do no put my TV on the delivery truck and now I have to go to the back of the line again and wait another week to have it delivered? She simply said yep. I was so annoyed that I tried to cancel the whole order but bc I used a visa gift card that I no longer had (it had a zero balance after using it on the tv and I threw it away) I basically couldn't cancel the order without losing the $200 visa gift card. So begrudgingly I went ahead with the new delivery day. Delivery Debacle 2 So now lets fast forward a week and this delivery had a drop off window of 11am to 1pm and again I had to leave work early and got to my house around 10:55am. Around noon I decided to check the status of the delivery on best buys website and it was saying I needed to schedule a delivery time. I was confused by that so I called best buy support but while I was on hold I checked my security cameras and best buy showed up around 10:35am (so 15 mins earlier than the scheduled delivery window) and they rang the doorbell twice and legitimately waited 90 seconds (I timed them) and then got back in their truck drove off. So to recap they arrived at 10:35am and drove off at 10:37 am all while their EARLIEST arrival time was 11:00am. When I got a rep on the phone I gave them the run down and she agreed that they came early and outside of the delivery window so she said she'd reach out to the delivery people and she placed me on hold. When she came back she said she spoke with them and based on the fact that they weren't at my house during THEIR scheduled delivery window they would come back before the end of the day. i tried to get a slightly firmer time than 'would come back by COB' but she wouldn't give me anything more than that. Yeah to the shock of no one they never came back. So I called support and was again told I would have to go to the back of the delivery line and it would be another 6 days before best buy could drop it off....assuming they'd put it on the truck this time or show up when they were supposed to. At this point it had already been about 3 weeks since I ordered the tv and was looking at another 6 days on top of that for the next potential delivery so I changed the order to pick up. I tried to pick up the tv in my SUV but I was told by best buy that I could not lay the tv on its side (it has to sit upright) and doing so would void the warranty. They recommended I get a uhaul van if I didn't want it delivered...ha. So I went to uhaul and drop another $100+ to rent a uhaul van and FINALLY got possession of the TV. Oh and the cherry on top, during my last call with best buy support they said they'd mail me a $100 best buy gift card for my troubles and as of today, (approximately a month since I picked up the TV) I have yet to receive any gift cards from best buy.

Great picture, good selection of apps. Needed to add Roku stick so I coukd stream spectrum in 4K. The picture is bright which is helpful as we have it in a brightly lit room. It has a digital tuner atsc 3 for over the air hd broadcasts and the built in speakers are nice, no sound bar needed unless you want the fully theater experience. Hounted it with an extendable wall mount so we could pull it out and tilt it for better in kitchen viewing. It has the new whva screen for better off angle viewing. Very pleased, would buy it again.

I believe this TV delivers the picture that it is intending to deliver as a mini LED. It has the infinite amount of brightness and contrast to perform in any bright room. You also have to understand that it is not OLED where colors are more vibrant and natural. The only thing I would ding this at is the processing speed- it is slow in navigating between applications ( noticeably slow). Overall, a great performer.

Amazing screen. OK colors out the box. Super bright and Super BLACK levels. Go into the menu and adjust bright, blacks and motion.

This is my 2nd one. The first one had a pixel out and the rest of the picture wasn't too impressive. I almost gave up on TCL right away. However, I allowed Best Buy to replace it with a new one (Thank you!). I am glad I did. This tv is much better! Great Picture. Dolby Vision from Apple TV looks great! Very crisp and bright. I am pleased so far. I won the panel lottery with this tv. I see why Rtings gives it such a good review. Love the remote too! I don't use the sound. I have it running through a Sony receiver. Works great.

This is an incredible panel, especially for the cost. It is the brightest TV I've ever seen - enough that I prefer to turn it down a bit in my dimly lit space. Bias lighting helps a ton. It does require some settings customization to get the best looks out of it - check out the Rtings review for the best setup. There is still some small fan noise at 60% brightness - a rhythmic "brrr-brrr" sound that can only be heard when it is very quiet in the room. I don't notice it at all when playing content, but it does get a little louder at maximum brightness. I sit pretty close to this TV (~ 8ft) so that probably has some to do with it. Updating to the latest firmware helped with some of the e-arc lipsync issues I was having playing through HBO max / netflix on the built-in google TV. Make sure to turn the motion settings to "custom" and all the sliders all the way down - this helps with both lipsync, blur and judder without too much processing.

I really like my TCL QM8K TV. The color is outstanding. It is very saturated and you can change a number of settings per your preferences. My one big recommendation is getting the 8K certified cable because I was having a little trouble with lag once I got the 8K cable that took care of any blacking out because of handshaking problems between my Roku unit and the TV I thought the price for what you get is worth it I also think that the panel in the TV at this price point is a little better than the QM7. To each his own I was on the fence about getting an LG but I think while it may not be as good as OLED. I think it’s a pretty good deal for the money. I don’t love the sound coming out of the TV alone. I recommend the sound bar for sure. I don’t seem to have any problem with sports either. I didn’t have any judder or fuzziness. There is a sports setting if that’s a big deal to you.

Very bright tv, much better alternative to samsung and their significantly higher prices. We bought this exact tv in 98" and 85". For "flat" tvs, they have great built in speakers (though nowhere near what actual bookshelf or floor standing speakers). Heavy tv.

Absolutely love this 85” TCL QM8K. I had the QM7K before and thought that was great—but the QM8K steps it up in every way. So far have watched NFL games and movies and the TV is awesome. It feels like you’re getting the performance of a much more expensive Mini LED TV without breaking the bank. One thing to be aware of—the mounting pattern is VESA 500x600, which is larger than what most standard 85” mounts support. I found a heavy duty mount for around $120. Definitely something to plan ahead for if you’re wall-mounting it the day it arrives. Aside from that minor hiccup, I’m beyond happy with this purchase. If you’re on the fence—just go for it. You won’t be disappointed.

This tv is the best. I have 3 large windows in living room and I don't have to close the blinds to watch a show on a sunny day. The tv is very bright and the size is great. Very pleased with this purchase.

Fantastic picture quality and impressive sound even without a soundbar. My wife and kids usually give me a hard time about upgrading TVs, but once this one was properly calibrated, they were absolutely blown away. I recommend starting with the Rtings picture calibration settings and then fine‑tuning from there to match your room. My space is a bit brighter, so I made a few additional adjustments. If you plan to wall‑mount it, double‑check your hardware. This model uses a 600×500 VESA pattern, and mine stayed in the box longer than expected while I hunted down a compatible mount. I was initially hesitant to go with TCL over some of the bigger-name brands, but after using it, I’d confidently choose TCL again.

The picture and brightness on this TV is too good to be true! This is a mini led feeling like you are watching an OLED with brightness in steroids. Great job TCL!

Great tv overall, have had it for about two weeks now and everything looks crisp. I'd say 75% of my watching is streaming services, 25% is sports. Many people will complain about the sports, yes it's not a sony and isn't super crisp but gets the job done. Would say if that is holding you back, just think about all the money you are saving by not buying the sony. Very much worth it and great TV for the price!`

Excellent TV with HDR and Dolby Vision sources. Super crisp and vivid colors. Great contrast. Excellent Google TV interface

TCL did a good job of updating your colors to calibration accuracy this year with this model. However, where I felt it fell short was on motion clarity. Too much motion blur for me. For me there was also way too much judder even after playing with every setting of turning it off, turning it on which unfortunately frustrating me to the point where I returned the TV. If your color accuracy person, I will say it did a very good job in that area. This could be a great TV to look at for Black Friday if the price goes down for a basic 85 inch TV.

Purchased this due to my Samsung getting Dirty Screen Affect two years after purchase. This unit has way more memort than any Samsung product so you can load all the apps you will ever need. Picture is great. Took some tweeking to get just right. Several Youtub guides to help those who are willing to spend the time. The remote is more sturdy and buttons are better than Samsung remotes.

Love this tv for crisp clarity and large screen size that’s affordable compared to OLED. It has really high ratings from rtings.com so that’s a big plus because they do serious testing. I like that the remote has backlit buttons and it automatically turns on when you pick it up. The UI is a bit slow considering this is a 2025 smart tv. An Amazon fire stick from 2023 is just as fast in my opinion. Anyway I am happy with my purchase.
