Awesome TV for a bright room
Bright, colorful, and has a very good contrast. I got it for my living room that has three huge windows. And it does not disappoint. It can easily overcome the sunlight hitting the room and is very vivid. If you watch in a dark room or can prevent direct light from hitting TV consider OLED but this one is better for very bright rooms daytime viewing.

TCL 65QM8K Definitely ATE
Where to Begin, right? Let me start off by saying welcome and if my direct points can help one person finalize their thoughts on spending then this was worth my time. TV Model: TCL 65QM8K This was the TV I really knew I needed: OPERATING SYSTEM: Google TV (Excellent) * 1st time owner of this operating system / user interface. + Select Wired or Wifi, Can't do both. + Check TV's updates, (latest is Ver 313 Android 14) + Keep your favorite apps updated. + Google Voice assistance is so needed and very Useful * Turn off all Eco picture settings before diving in. PICTURE: This is why I made this decision. (Superb) * Google firmware vers 313 really provided an outstanding out of the box job. It will dl on 1st day of powering up. So I look fwd to future update improvements and new additions + Your Eyes & Emotion will make you relive your day of watching 4th or July Fireworks. It's that incredible feeling that makes it all worth it. + Bright, Colorful, Various Picture Modes & Preferences + Dolby Vision, HDR10+, SDR, Console. PC + Youtube videos for specific picture content will amaze you + Upgrade your streaming 4K providers, Netflix, Disney+ etc. + Cable TV, I suggest use a external streaming device. You can always finetune your visual settings. Just remember you limited to lower quality imagery. But you can certainly achieve satisfactory status for all Movies, News, Live Sports & TV shows. - I don't use over the air antenna although I should try cause this model offers free over the air High Def content. Connectivity: HDMI & Devices. (Better than Good) - Should have had four 2.1 Hdmi ports instead of port #1 & #2 + eARC port #4 is for your soundbar / receiver SETTINGS: Don't be afraid, Welcome & Test your Choices + It ok to visit more than once, don't be a stranger + It's ok to feel overwhelmed at 1st glance or use + Read, Learn, Try, Enable/Disable Move buttons, + Make Mistakes, Challenge your curiosity + Factory Reset is welcomed and Redoing will be Satisfying. * Time spent is Time worth. TV AUDIO (Better than most, but your ears deserve more) * In this day and age streaming sites and playing discs offer so much more than stereo. Immerse yourself with SOUND. + External speaker source is highly recommended. - TCL has to show actual numbers when +/- volume. It's a huge disappointment not to automatically visualize it, but you can ask Google and it will tell you where your set volume sound is actually at. QUALITY & PERFORMANCE: (Impressive) QM8K is Marquee + The build is certainly a sky jump over the QM7K + Performance wise don't let QM7K (great tv by the way) owners downplay the all around seriousness of the QM8K by saying it's not much of an increase. It's just a way to solidify reasonings and bending of wallet. Overall: Im all bout QD-MiniLED QM8K * I would not think twice of what this price has offered. I have nothing but enjoyment using this brand and upgraded model. Best part is I'm still learning what hidden power(s) I can unleash and what TCL/Google has instore for future firmware wise. + Is there better TV's out there? Yes sure, but not for the price and all around performance you actually will be receiving + As a Bestbuy plus member, I will be adding my Geek Squad 5 year protection really soon cause investing and resting your tech worries is just added comfort to your health. REGRETS: I didn't get the 75" * No I'm Serious, Don't be like me if you have the space and the wallet don't even hesitate. The 75" will outperform this 65" in more ways than you think. B-EZ and Happy Holidays PS. The 5 images are captured from Mobile> QM8K> Cable SDR form. So again, embrace and welcome your settings. The more you visit them the more easier it will become which will lead to bigger and better visuals.

Happy with the purchase
I am happy with the tv for the sale price. It has good sound and picture. I would not want to spend too much more than qm7, as it not really noticeable better with standard content. This tv also does not to great with poor quality content, my much older cheaper tcl does a better job on items not in HD, but with full resolution content, it is very good. I wish the sound leveling was better, but it better than my other tvs, but still cannot hear voices without obnoxiously loud commercials and sound effects. I paid $800 like new open box, I dont think is worth more than that over a qm7 or even qm6. The bright room viewing is much improved over my budget tvs, but not as great as I expected, but considering the about the brightest tv you can buy, i dont there is anyway to do better. I do really like this tv. I cannot see a reason to buy a tv over 2k when this option exist. Does have better than standard bass with the subwoofers. I like the tv for the price for sure, best value for upper range picture, but is it needed? If this was not a special deal, qm7 is probably the optimal choice.
