Customer Ratings & Reviews

Fantastic TV - Previously had the QM7 and you can indeed tell a difference between the two. For the time being until the QM9K comes down in price, this is the best value for a 98". Delivery was good as always. Refer to Rtings for the technical details!

Excellent quality at an unbeatable price. I've seen some reviewers mention buzzing with their units and I was a bit anxious about our unit having the same issue, but I'm happy to say our unit works without any such buzzing noises. The picture quality is great, with minimal blooming from bright content in dark scenes. Also enjoy that it has the standard Google TV software for ease of use and enjoying different media apps. Giving a special shoutout to Best Buy's service and delivery team. My first unit had issues due to a poor delivery experience (screen cracked), but Best Buy promptly scheduled another delivery and sent 3 delivery guys to handle this massive TV. Second time was the charm :)

This TCL tv is the absolute best! I just love watching football and movies on it. Best Buy delivered it when they said they would, installed it perfectly and answered any questions we had. I wish I had one in the bedroom!

Love this TV and worth every penny. We are loving movie night now.

Decided to go outside of my comfort zone for TVs which is usually a Samsung or Sony. I wanted to upgrade to a 100in TV but did not want to pay an arm and a leg. I went back and forth between this TCL 98QM8K and Hisense U8QG. Took advahtage of the Labor Day Sale and picked up this bad boy for less than $3K! Tons of premium specs for an awesome value! The "borderless" screen is fantastic. The clarity on 4K stuff is magnificent. Warning: Out of the box, the colors are a bit off, in my opinion, and the judder and motion blur watching sports needs work. Once I hook this up with some updated HDMI cables to my new Onkyo NR-7100, and playing with my settings, I'll update this review to share whether that improves some of the motion issues.

The picture is very good, similar to the 2024 model. I was hoping for more improvements with the new 2025 version, specifically with motion and upscaling. I upgraded moving from the 85” QM8 to the 98” QM8k which was a huge change in size. Overall I’m pleased with the purchase and the sale price during Prime days. The free installation offered by Best Buy ended up being a disappointment due to quality of the work and skill of the contractor. Best Buy really needs to step up their game when it comes to installation.

It’s a great TV. Now you can pay more for another brand (Samsung Sony or LG) but you won’t get a better TV……especially when you are viewing in 4K. And the price on this thing, for what you’re getting is unbelievable.

Got this for gaming on PS5. Compared it to Bravia 5 (had employee discount on this so was the same price as tcl) but this was the winner for a bright room.

I have the 98KM8K. Installed by Geek Squad on Sep 18. Squad set-up and checkout were excellent. Some six hours into use, the set developed a hum and modulating pulse string (morse code like). This "Buzz" defect has been noted on several review websites (Andrew Robinson, Rtngs.Com) and on AVSForum and Reddit. Based on another user's reporting and documentation (see AVSForum), TCL has been attempting an onsite field fix with some success. I have been in contact with TCL support and have a ticketed case number where I have performed the various trouble shooting steps, supplied requested audio files and screen shots and am awaiting feedback and next steps. However, my Best Buy return window is down to a week. My concern is that since there is likely a defective lot locally warehoused, an immediate replacement will likely have the same fault just as reported by another reviewer here. As this site is monitored by TCL Support I'd like them to take the following actions: (1) Formally note that there is a defect and provide a technical bulletin and Service Department POC so the customer can provide a compelling reason for vendor return and replacement/refund as desired and, (2) Provide a warranty roadmap so current users following TCL service request procedures have a means to understand when a warranty fix might be expected.

This tv offers a lot of bang for the buck and is about 85% of a OLED tv. Where it lacks is poor video processing with SD and lower quality formats. The google UI isn't the greatest and not so intuitive.

We thought about a new 83” OLED but we really wanted a bigger TV than our current 85”. We chose the 98” TCL after looking at both the LG and the TCL. Both looked very similar. So glad we went with TCL and got a bigger screen for Les money. Win/win.

This is a super Fantastic Tv. Very satisfied with Best Buts installation service and the sale associate Derrick who helped with the purchase.

Enix and Arash were instrumental in my purchases. Enix from TCL was very knowledgeable in my acquisition of the TCL 98 inch QM8K. The TV is very impressive and performs very well.

The TCL Q98K has thus far works and looks excellent. It may be partly due to the Denon receiver, which may help with a clear picture. It is easy to navigate, and the backlit remote provides significant assistance.

By far the best (and biggest) TV I have ever owned. Best Buy delivered and setup free of charge. They even price matched for an additional $200 off. Couldn’t have been better!

Picture quality is amazing. The large screen is immersive. I own some OLEDs and the larger screen overall is better than the very slight difference in picture quality. Highly recommend as best value for price on a high end TV.

I also own an LG OLED TV, in compare to TCL QM8K looks fantastic. I genuinely love it. I never feel like I’m not watching an OLED TV. However, it requires minor color calibration out of the box.

So far so good. Responsive UI. Excellent blacks, color not quite a natural as my Sony mini led but 98 inches for the same price as my 85. I’m impressed so far.

This 98-inch screen is unbelievably immersive! The Mini-LED picture is stunningly bright with incredible contrast, completely transforming movie nights and gaming. It's a total game-changer for our bright living room.

Looks good, but i retuened because my unit was buzzing from the power supply
