    I love the size, been wanting a 98" for several years. So far, it's exceeded my expectations other than stutters on some streaming apps.

    This TV will meet and exceed your expectations! I am coming from a Sony TV and I was hesitant on trying this brand. I am very impressed with the picture quality and brightness and I am hoping this will last more than 8 years since my Sony lasted that long.

    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.

    Clear Bright Picture on the TCL Q98K

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Excellent 4k tv with the caveat that 1080i and 720p upscaling of tv content is lacking compared to the likes of Sony, Samsung and LG. I hope TCL will continue to improve this in the near future.

    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.

    Buzzing Sound

    Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I purchased the 98" TCL QM8K TV with high hopes, but unfortunately, it has a major flaw: a persistent buzzing sound at peak brightness. The noise disappears only when the brightness is lowered to 49 or below. Best Buy was helpful and exchanged the original unit for another of the same model. Sadly, the replacement has the exact same issue. Extremely disappointing for a premium TV. I’d like to exchange it for a different brand—even if it means paying more—but after emailing Best Buy, I’ve received no response. Buyer beware: while the picture quality is stunning, the buzzing completely ruins the experience. For reference, the exchange happened in September 2025. I’m now out $3,000 and stuck with a frustrating product. Just search “buzzing sound TCL QM8K”—I’m clearly not alone.
