I've also had issues with a sony tv and Samsung (currently) point is. Any tv could be problematic

You're correct, but 2 in a row.... I'm out.
·
Which series was that?

Having had numerous TCL TVs I would absolutely stay away from the 4 series, the 5 series would be the lowest model I'd ever consider.

Two different 4 series developed awful dead spots, all of the 6 series TVs I've ever had work just fine.

This is a really good deal. I'm still considering the Samsung QN90C 85 inch at Costco for 2399 but this seems very similar and it's 600 bucks cheaper. I'm not sure which one to get.
Actually... it's $700 difference, but remember that at Costco the QN90C includes a 5 yr warranty. If going the QM8 route and concerned about longevity, keep in mind that a 5 yr warranty at BB is $495, a 4 year warranty (Asurion) at Amazon is $183, and a 4 yr warranty directly with Allstate/Squaretrade is $230.

That Best Buy 5 year warranty on a product like this is your friend

These Chinese Tv's seem to have quality control that can vary widely

That being said, if you get a good one this is a heck of a performance value for the price.
Will it compete with the higher end Samsung's and Sony's for all the fine details..NO...but one should not be expecting that either at this price.

I still own my USA Made tv after all this years

we shall see.....until a TV is out tested and put through its paces we dont know


Seriously based on specs Vizio should have led the market with the Quantum X a few years ago
In testing and real world environments it had several flaws

They really just keep trading places every year tbh. LG has more features but i've always been a bigger fan of Sony colors. Tho anything is better than Samsung Colors at least.

Until MicroLED becomes a thing, Sony's flagship this year, which is a mini led, is gonna be as close as we ever get to OLED performance, with a non OLED TV. But like all their other flagship TV's, it's definitely not gonna be affordable!
MicroLEDs are availible to purchase if you have a spare $200k laying around lol

Trying to decide between this or the Hisense U8k. Leaning towards the Hisense because of low quality content looking a bit better. Any thoughts?

Quality? What does that mean? I just returned a 85X90L due to "quality" issues.

Looking to bite on QM8 but trying to weigh options on BB vs Amazon regarding warranties. Any recommendations? 4yr asurion seems to be least expensive but are ya getting what ya paid for with it?
