No regrets after ordering U8K100. Here is Rtings comparison

"The Hisense U8/U8K and TCL QM8/QM851G QLED are evenly matched, with only small differences. The TCL is a bit brighter in HDR and SDR, but the Hisense is more accurate in HDR and SDR. The TCL has slightly better image processing. Gamers might prefer the TCL, which has a noticeably faster response time than the Hisense. Ultimately, the Hisense is the better choice if you care about image accuracy. Otherwise, the TCL offers a slightly brighter image."

100 inch is bigger than 98 inch by about size of 20 inch screen.

Both are great TVs for the price. But for 2600$ U8K was a better deal IMO

U8k 100 will probably be on similar black friday deal again during superbowl week. Off topic question is: do this TCL qm8 deal or wait for the elusive U8N 100 inch (2024) that has not yet to appear.

I've been waiting for this thinking I'd have to wait until Super Bowl week for $500 off but this just blows it out of the water. Canceled an earlier order for a QM7 98 and will never look back.

Quote from Matrix80 :
I really want this size, but also impossible to go from my OLED. Once they can hit 86"+, that will be incredible. A 100" is a fantasy but maybe in the next 5-10yrs.

Keep saying that to yourself.
Delusional.

Real life:
86" Sammy beats OLED
120" 4k Shift projector dedicated theater beats both.

100"(98") Sammy will replace dedicated theater room and/or any of the above.

Will Amazon at least bring it into the house ?
Depends on the delivery person, my driver helped me get it inside the front door. It's a heavy monster at 150-lbs, need a good strong all wood table to put it on.
Otherwise, they will leave it on the porch or inside the garage. As they are not required to bring it in. I gave him a $10 tip for a 2min lift Wink

Any reason you don't want to order from Best Buy with free installation? I would not want to deal with mounting a 98" TV myself!
No reason, this thing is a Monster at 150-lbs. nod
We put it on our all-wood table/console and it was fine, just heavy as hell to lift up 4ft in the air and not touch the screen, drop it and not lift at the bottom that can crack the screen.

It's crazy, we went from heavy tv sets in the 80's-2000, then 65" light as a feather, and now mini-led heavy as hell sets again laugh out loud

So u canceled a qm7 order and bought this qm8 instead?
I am wondering how much better the qm8 is vs the qm7 as I currently have the 7 scheduled for install the 31st, but can get this qm8 for $700 more and have it installed the 24th
How much better is the qm8 compared to qm7?

One big reason I didnt go with the Hisense over the TCL is the complete dumb idea of using one of the HDMI 2.1 ports for the earc port. I was between the two but that sealed the deal for me. I do have 2 55inch U8N's however and they're great for that as well. Can't really go wrong with either of the top lines but if your main TV is going to need both 2.1 ports you may want to pause on that with the Hisense and consider the TCL

If it's anything like the difference between the 85 inch models, I would say yes it's worth the price difference. The QM8 image has more detail and greater depth whilst also having a better viewing angle, better contrast, better brightness and better reflection handling. Overall, it has a sharper image which is beneficial on a 98 inch tv.

Is this way better than costco's Hisense 100" Class - U7 Series ($1800)? Should I cancel costco's order for this? Experts, please comment. TIA.

Idk I disagree. The U8K is the 2023 model so it's not so much of a sale as a clearance. From my experience, i think the QM751 and the U8K are equivalent.

I've been waiting for this to hit 3k to replace my 85" QM850 so I'm pretty happy though.

I'm not going to lie and say these are as good as OLED when it comes to blacks. But they're like 90% of the PQ of OLED for half the price. If you want to pay double for an incremental improvement that's a decision only you can make.

On the brightness side, these TVs destroy OLED when it comes to an HDR experience. Especially OLEDs released before the current models. Even the current models that have greatly increased brightness can't touch these TV's from TCL and Hisense.

Can you demo a scenario where they look like crap in comparison? For sure. Blank star fields and fireworks are going to be your nemesis with these sets but how often are you actually watching those scenes?
