The one on sale at Amazon is the 2023 model for $998.00, the one in this post is the 2024 model for $1,399.99. $100 off the latest model.

Ultimately it depends on which model you want & how much you want to spend.

I posted about the 2023 model when it was $899.99 at Best Buy (https://slickdeals.net/f/17546217-899-99-best-buy-tcl-65-class-qm8-q-class-mini-led-qled-4k-hdr-smart-tv-with-google-tv-model-65qm850g) & the lowest price for the 2023 model was $750!

It's in the title, 2024 model.

This will drop if you're patient.

The 2024 Hisense U8N is already at $1100 for 65", that is the direct competitor to the 2024 QM8. They usually settle in at $1000 for 65" 8 series, so if you wait 2-3 months it'll probably end up there.

The 2024 model will drop to $998, by Black Friday if not before. Happens every year with TCL and Hisense models.

Different year. The one in OP's post is the 2024 model that just came out. The 2023 model is the one you are referring to.

Not sure why TCL chose to re-use the same model names from year to year, but here we are.

Sorry you're right that makes it worth double.
Buy gold before you pay 6000 for 2025 prices too.

So the one BB now sells for $900 (850G) is still 2023? While This 851G is 2024, right?
What is the difference? Seems like TCL says there in comments that there is no difference, that's why model name didn't change

I know the 2024 QM85 has more dimming zones and has higher brightness than the 2023 QM8. It also does a much better job with its processor because crushing blacks were a problem with the 2023 and they have addressed that issue in the new 2024 QM85. I am sure there is more, but that is what I have found so far.

Here is a great side by side comparison of the 2024 QM85 and the 2023 QM8.
