    TCL 98” is Amazing!

    The TCL 98” Q8 is amazing. I had an 85” Sony Bravia (2023) model which was great, but it doesn’t compare to the picture quality of this TCL. No blooming or blurred scenes. I have a surround sound system so I didn’t spend much time using the installed audio.

    I replaced a Sony 75" with this Awesome 98" 98QM8K Home Theater TV. The picture is stunning and the immersive experience that a 98" screen provides needs to be experienced personally to be believed.

    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.

    Known Defective Power Supply Issue

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

    I am decidedly split in my opinion on this TV. The picture quality is fantastic and has exceeded my expectations. However, there is a known issue with the power supply on this TV that causes an intermittent and distracting buzzing sound to come from the TV. TCL states that the issue has been resolved in more recently manufactured units. However, they have not been helpful in getting my issues resolved. They have simply been deferring to Best Buy in getting this resolved. I am now on my fourth TV return from Best Buy (Best Buy has so far been unable to coordinate manufacture date requests with their warehouse prior to delivery). I want to recommend this TV, but cannot with the ongoing quality control and customer service issues.

    I have an LG C3 and the quality of this QM8K blew me away. Super smooth and sharp pictures. Very close to OLED and for the sale price of under $3000 for a 98” it’s well worth it.

    Great TV, it is very bright, but it might be not the the best choice for a bright room with lots of windows, as the screen is very glossy, lots of reflection
