At these prices, I'd give it a shot and see if the issues are tolerable. But you could probably wait and see if the DV/HDR10 issues are fixed/made better, and this price will probably be back a few more times over the next few months. And like others have said, keep an eye on the thread over at AVS!
2) Ignoring #1, you could buy a Roku stick for like $25 and be right back to using that if needed. The platform the TV is running on is rarely a reason to buy it or not, especially not at the high end.

Early impressions are hyping this one up as the best mini LED available. As I said in the post, full reviews aren't in yet though so buyer beware
Digital Trends First Impressions of TCL QM8
https://youtu.be/Nl9OHiO5PE8
I guess it depends on how you look at the situation.
Hisense (their main competitor) tries to position their 65" 8 series flagship at around $1000. They do some funky things with pricing where the MSRP is $1250 & the "everyday low price" is $1000…but for the end user you basically expect to get 65" flagship for $1000.
TCL uses different naming conventions but this is their mini LED flagship, so I could see it getting down closer to $1000 once Hisense's U8K is released.
The TCL appears to be superior this year though, at least in terms of specs.
Almost 3x the dimming zones I think on the 65. Inky blacks etc. Google TV rather than Roku. More like a 2-3 gen leap than a little better. well, pending real reviews

I'm not super familiar with TCL's naming conventions, but I believe their 6 series had the flagship in 2022, whereas QM8 is the flagship in 2023.
I believe they've restructured their naming convention in 2023 to align with Hisense's 6/7/8 series structure, as that is their main competitor. The QM8 would be an 8 series/flagship TV in that setup.
From what I've heard, QM8 is TCL's only mini LED TV in 2023. Hisense on the other hand is pushing mini LED tech to their 6/7/8 series across the board.
The QM8 appears to beat Hisense's upcoming U8K (8 series) in terms of specs though, aside from the lack of ATSC 3.0 TV tuner built in to the Hisense (& missing on the TCL).

Yep, I've seen those reports. The 85" is sold out at Best Buy, so I didn't think it was worth including it in the main post.
Think we're still a ways off on that. An article from earlier this year lists a 110" microLED display at $100k.
