I am watching this 11 months later due to getting nagged by my other half that i rejected the LG C3 that had a bad panel that failed 2 weeks after purchase and now we are back to our old Samsung that is not even a 4K model. So since funds are tightand no way do we want another Oled of any brand, this TCL QM8 has be saying buy me and get some peace. [...]
I got my 2023 model today for 800.00 after tax an insane picture and I went from an older Hisense tv with 4k. The brilliance of color is awesome and I'm super happy with it. Makes movies pop off the screen also paired with an earc HDMI for sound bar and this this is amazing home theatre.
[...] The TCL QM8 QLED seems like a good TV at a great price that would be an excellent choice for a lot of people. I'd like a display with better color accuracy, gray uniformity, brightness tracking, wide viewing angle, and upscaling, so I'd probably pay a bit more for a TV that excels in the picture quality I really want (especially if I'm buying a TV to keep for several years).
[...] Yes, there is a similar model with some specs worse, but at the same price, and would leave a bad taste in my mouth if i bought it. [...]
[...] I got it for $3K which i think is a great price. [...] I returned the LG 83" G4 because the motion processing was so bad as people were stuttering across the screen. [...] However the LG looked a lot better when the camera is not moving/panning. I believe reviewers are making the QM8 sound better than it is.
Bought this based on your recommendation AND i got it on sale. [...]
I got the TCL QM8 85" last weekend, and I absolutely love it! [...]
the best picture quality for the money these days is Hisense mini LED U series.. U6 is ok, U7 is good, and the U8(which I bought) comes as close oled as you can for a 1/4 of the price, along with the TCL QM8... The QM7 is also a really good tv
[...] I’m thinking about the new Vizio Quantum Pro 4k QLED or the TCL QM8. [...] Or would you just say forget Vizio and go with a TCL QM8? [...]
[...] Currently, I have an AMOLED laptop with a pentile display which red is overemphasized, but I'd rather deal with that than those budget laptops I've used with undersaturated colors. So what can I expect from a TCL QM8 in Movie mode with the color space set to Native before it is calibrated?
I have a TCL QM8, which until recently I was using for its full smart-TV capabilities, and always feeling rather icky about all of the stuff it was sending. I would keep getting notifications about the microphone being turned on even when I had explicitly disabled it at every level. [...] I had a guest in my house using the TV while I was in another room and suddenly asking me for my WiFi password, and when I went to see what was up, saw that they were halfway through opening the floodgates again before I stopped them.
