Q: QuestionIs the built in tuner ATSC 3.0?(6 answers)
A: AnswerI have been considering the TCL 55Q750G and therefore researching this very question. My research and conversations with TCL customer service reveals that every single TCL 2023 model only has an ATSC 1.0 tuner, and TCL has inexplicably and deliberately decided not to support ATSC 3.0 yet. That is a deal-breaker for me and should be for most consumers.Answered by ToddS

TV that lives up to the hype!
Awesome TV for the price. Got it on sale for $899 and the picture quality is excellent. Colors are vivid and PS5 looks great. I don't use the google TV (have an Apple TV) but HDR and Dolby Vision are excellent. This TV is bright as well! Great bang for the buck!

Best bang for your buck??
I'm glad I didn't listen to my friends that obviously don't know any better. TCL is nothing my Chinese BS so they say yet they have Samsungs and Sony's. Good chance they are all made in the same place. Anyways. Definitely the best bang for my buck imo. The Google TV experience is buttery smooth compared to a Google TV Chromecast and nivida shield. Better than a Sony twice the price? I don't know and don't care. TV is very bright and visible in a bright room. Looks very elegant IMO. Haven't had any issues with it. I bought a surround sound with it so I haven't gave the TV's speakers a real chance for sound. But it did sound decent from the first start up. The remote feels cheap but services it's purpose. Nice layout and short cut buttons with half I actually use. I know it's real estate that companies pay for im sure. The blacks are black. Little to no ghosting. Everything is very sharp. My girlfriend was blown away with the picture quality. Overall we are very impressed. If I could go back and buy it again I wish I would have bought it sooner even if that meet it was 300 more than the price I got it at. Must have those holiday for anyone still reading.

Best TV ever.
TCL qm8 is fabulous. The colors are incredible. I mean so colorful and vibrant, simply beautiful. The picture is so crystal clear. Movies are so much more fun to watch on this TV. 4k and up recordings are absolutely stunning, almost mesmerizing. Then with the super Google TV and 3 free months of Apple TV, what more could you ask for. Skip the Oled TV's, buy this TV, you'll be just as happy and for a fraction of the cost. Really beautiful TV, hard to stop watching it. Buy it you'll love it.
