TCL 98" Dream Come True
I recently purchased the TCL 98" QM8 from Best Buy, and it has exceeded all my expectations! The picture quality is phenomenal—vibrant and clear. I was a bit nervous because the room we put it in is very bright, but it really holds up. The built-in Google operating system is a fantastic upgrade from the Google Chromecast I used on my Samsung TV. I was torn between the TCL and the Samsung 98 QN90. I’ve always had Samsung TVs, but I did my homework. The two things that sold me were TCL’s specs on contrast ratio (probably not calling it the right thing), but basically, its a better picture for those shows with dark scenes and it has more local dimming zones, which are supposed to give you better overall picture quality. But what really sold me was the price. It was almost half the price of the Samsung model. I decided to take a chance on TCL and am glad I did. I was also concerned about the size since our room is only 13’x15’. My husband assured me it would work (of course), and he was right—it’s big, but not overwhelming. The buying experience at Best Buy was seamless, and the Geek Squad installation service was exceptional. They communicated well, were clean, and completed the setup quickly. I can’t wait to watch the Yellowstone season 5 finale on this incredible TV. I highly recommend this TV!

Unbelievable!
5-Star Review for TCL 98” Q Class 4K Mini-LED QLED HDR Smart TV - 98QM850G I am absolutely blown away by the TCL 98” Q Class TV! Upgrading from an 80-inch screen, I didn’t think it could get much better, but this 98-inch display has taken my home theater experience to a whole new level. The sheer size alone makes every show, movie, and sports game feel incredibly immersive—it’s like having my own private movie theater! The picture quality is phenomenal. The QLED and Mini-LED combination delivers super-bright, vibrant colors, and stunning clarity, even in a well-lit room. Watching sports on this TV feels like I’m right in the stadium. The HDR brings every detail to life, so much so that it honestly feels better than being at the game in person. For movie nights, this TV’s color depth and crisp picture quality make every scene come alive. The Google TV integration is smooth and easy to use, with tons of apps and streaming options that give me everything I need right at my fingertips. If you’re on the fence about upgrading to a 98-inch, trust me—do it! This TCL 98” Q Class TV is an absolute game-changer. Five stars all the way!
