So far, we're absolutely loving this TV. No dirty screen effect or banding issues to speak of. It's super bright, which is great since we have it in a room with a large amount of natural light. We've been using it mainly to play games on PS5, but tried out a few 4K HDR movies when we first got it. Everything we've tested on the QM8 looked nice and vibrant.
I've read complaints about motion, but we followed Rtings' advice and turned all the motion settings off. Also heard upscaling issues the QM8 had when it originally came out, but TCL fixed these in a recent update.
I don't have an OLED so I can't compare with higher end TV's, but this seems like the best bang for your buck you can buy at the moment.
- super bright TV for the money, brighter that Bravia 9 and any other Tv I ever had
- HDR looks amazing and very comparable to the Samsung OLED, but it lacks in skin tone and a few shadow details. You won't ever notice this if you didn't have another TV to compare it to
- Motion is fine, very similar to the Samsung, watched sports on it and movies and it does the job. You have to turn on motion settings but that's something you will have to do with any TV, also similar to Samsung
- color saturation: not 100% like Samsung but I would say 90%, again not noticeable without a reference Tv
- Dolby Vision: this is the biggest drawback of the TV, Dolby vision bright is not bright at all and you can not control the brightness in DV mode. I can control the brightness in DV mode in a Sony OLED but not in this TCL. One note, after having the Samsung s90c, I do not miss DV at all.
Value: this an amazing value for an 85 inch. No issues whatsoever. If you can wait till this time next year you might be able to get the 2024 and they supposedly fixed the specular highlights issues with DV in that one.

Last year's Q7 didn't have MiniLED tech, but it does this year (hence the QM7 rename). But yeah without reviews in you'll probably only be able to compare specs

I like it better than my LG C3 because it is soo much more bang for the buck. The brightness and sharpness of the screen are excellent. TCL delivered with this TV in spades. This is a great price.
I was already familiar with Google TV OS and this completed my transition over from Roku and Amazon Firestick. Suffice to say IPTV saves soooo much money.
Motion issues were talked about on AVS forum plenty, despite reviews saying "ITS AMAZING" Here is an example from a game. This is my 2nd TCL, both do it. Honestly wish I would've went with the Sony instead of being cheap. If this isn't going to be your main tv or for anything like a man-cave, then sure, go for it.https://imgur.com/a/obRPcex
I will corroborate that the TV does generate heat if you watch it all day but given its screen brightness...you have to kinda expect that to be normal.

It did still have some Best Buy/Geek Squad extended warranty left on it though
