    Very early review but the tv is fantastic! Picture quality is great, the google tv/apps are smooth and intuitive, and setting up Game Master with the ps5 was easy. Con: there is a slight hum when the tv is using a lot of processing and/or 120-144hz.

    Great picture for this price point, at $1799.99. Definitely a deal I wouldn't pass up if you're looking for a good TV that handles a room with a lot of light; this one does a great job.

    Looks worse than 2023 QM8 and still has same flaws

    This TV is no where near as bright as the 2023 QM8. It does not have the nice OLED-like 3D effect even in Vivid mode and max brightness. Definitely a visual downgrade in every way other than maybe the blacks look a little deeper when something like the night sky is showing. I compared them side-by-side and it is an incredible difference in picture quality. The TV also has a terrible flicker effect on certain objects in scenes when the camera is panning. The biggest culprits seems to be windows of sky scrapers or grassy fields, exactly like the 2023 QM8 has. This is regardless of motion clarity or judder settings. I compared this next to the 2025 U8 from Hisense and it manages to make everything buttery smooth, although the colors, darks, and highlights aren't quite as nice as the QM8 which makes it a bit more difficult to choose between them. This issue should have definitely been resolved by now. Not sure what the TCL engineers are doing with their time at this point but they need to address this glaring problem especially when TCL is now charging premium prices. Additionally, they are still using the same horrible HDMI ports of the 2023 QM8 that require you to go out and download CRU (Custom Resolution Utility) to lower the max allowed bandwidth to 40Gbps (Instructions below to save you the immense headache I went through to figure this out) if you want to game on your PC at 120hz. And no, after lowering it to 40Gbps you will not be able to use the TV's advertised refresh rate of 144hz or 12-bit color. It will only allow you to use 120hz and 10-bit color. If you do not use CRU your TV will constantly black out every few seconds and lose connection to the PC unless you drop down to 60hz or lower the resolution. I've reported this to them two years ago for the 2023 QM8 and they apparently ignored me. Truly unacceptable. If they fix these issues this TV could be a great deal for the price. I would even choose it over an OLED. But it seems they are incapable of improvements and only make each iteration worse than the last. Looking at the reviews and complaints of the 2024 model confirms that this will be a pattern going forward. *Instructions for CRU for PC Gamers* (THIS MAY VOID THE WARRANTY ON THE TV, YOU'VE BEEN WARNED!) Google "CRU by ToastyX" (Custom Resolution Utility) and download it. Extract the files to a folder on your PC. Open the CRU program and double-click on the HDMI 2.1 connection under "extension blocks". Double-click on "HDMI 2.1 support" in the "Data Blocks" table, then change the "Maximum FRL rate" from "48 Gbps" to "40 Gbps" Then restart your PC. You should be able to game at 4k 120hz and 10-bit color after that. Good luck.

    The picture quality is very good. The smart TV apps menus are very snappy and loaded with lots of options. Sound quality is better than my Sony soundbar used previously on my old TV. I like the added film maker mode.

    I purchased the TV during a price drop which provided a great value for its features. First of all, it was very well packaged upon delivery and when unpacking, no visible damage while the wrap around the TV provided additional protection. Since i am using a TV streamer and i havent used the native build in Google TV but the image quality is beautiful. Especially when watching content in HDR10 or Dolby Vision it automatically switches I really would recommend if your looking for a TV that not completely break the bank!

    It was time for my 6-year-old Samsung to get upgraded, but I could not justify the price for the S95F OLED. I had been seeing excellent reviews for the TCL QM8K, and BB offered it at a ridiculously low price pre Black Friday. The TV arrived with a slightly damaged stand but BB made it right. The TV was easy to set up and is just amazing. I am delighted with the buying experience, price, and TV quality.
