    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.

    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.

    I wanted to upgrade my older 75” display to a more immersive and larger display for my basement movie area. The QM8K with the latest v313 firmware in Filmmaker mode delivers. HDR pops, this thing is really bright, I may even need to crank it down a notch it’s so bright. When Gaming it automatically switches over to game mode, very smooth. No issues. Overall I’m satisfied, would recommend. Great value.

    Close to OLED Quality

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I love this tv. The size is perfect for the massive wall in my living room, It is replacing a 65" LG OLED that I love even more. This TCL produces a great picture and better than average sound, but it cannot beat an OLED with its "inky" black levels and legendary contrast. To quantify, I would say that this TCL will get you 85 to 90% of what an OLED is capable of, but I can't afford a $25,000 LG OLED. If you are going for size, this is the one to get.

    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.

    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.

    Awesome TV. Chose QM8Kfor ATSC3 tuner - I use an antenna to watch NFL games in Chicagoland. BestBuy delivery and install was perfect - they called before arriving even though I could see where they were in the web link provided. $49 add to remove old 82" TV and mount was well worth it.

    If you want to get as close to OLED as possible, this is the TV to get. I purchased the 98'' TCL QM8K and I am just elated at the picture quality. Dark blacks, true whites, bright colors, this TV has it all. I highly recommend this TV. Good job TCL!

    Probably the best non-OLED picture I have personally seen! Excellent picture quality even in Game Mode! I'm blown away every time I turn it on... it's really that good. Of course, being a 98" TV, it'll take a few people to install, but other than that, I can't recommend this TV more highly.
