Community Reviews

TCL's 85QM8K stands out as a bright mini LED set with strong picture quality for the money, especially in controlled lighting. RTINGS comparisons put it ahead of the Samsung QN90D, and the TV is described as impressive enough to make upgrading from that model tempting. The main concerns are direct reflections, blooming in bright sports scenes, and possible weakness with hockey or lower resolution cable sources. It feels like a strong large screen option if your room lighting and source quality are under control.

  • Best Buy Plus can extend the return window and enable price adjustments after purchase.

  • The TV can be returned easily if reflection performance does not meet expectations.

    eoniverse1

  • The 85-inch model's VESA mount size is listed as 600x500, which helps with planning wall mounting.

  • The QM8K is reported to handle ambient lighting in a controlled way during viewing.

    eoniverse1

  • Fast-motion scenes like hockey may show white-screen or motion handling problems, especially with 720p or 1080i sources.

    eoniverse1

  • Direct reflection handling is described as poor by RTINGS, which can matter in bright rooms with glare.

    PaulP6715

  • Side-by-side viewing reportedly makes the QM8K look dull on real content in a bright room.

    deee5

  • Visible blooming is a concern when comparing against a Samsung QN90D, raising uncertainty about similar issues on the TCL.

Tempting but keep wondering how it specifically handles hockey (white screen and fast motion). I've read very mixed reviews about this. Not to mention 720p or 1080i TV media

Same here. Waiting for the 98" If it goes back to its all time low I'm in for sure plus I want a new sound bar.

$3k is the lowest I've seen it. Less would be better!

Wouldn't buying it now make more sense? If it goes down for black friday, can't you do an exchange just by bringing in the receipt?

I bit on the $1099 85 inch QN90D from Sam's Club but this is one one I wanted. The QN90D has visible blooming you can tell. It's a very nice TV but you can see the blooming in many situations like around football players in white jerseys on green grass.
Would it make sense to swap for the TCL for the extra $700? or will it have the same issues?

I'll buy your organ as long as it's useful. Which organ are we talking about?

A liver that's got about 12% useful life remaining. No hepatitis though.

Wait one more year if you can for Dolby vision II. I would hate to upgrade and have a big release like that come out just after.

There's always something just around the corner, no matter when/what you upgrade. Even more so with tech.

I'm mainly concerned with streaming. Granted, I'm coming from a 2019 edge lit Samsung, but most of the TV we have on (my wife) is reality shows and whatnot. I feel like as long as it's not worse than that, it would be gravy for me.

Rtings says model has terrible direct reflection handling Frown I was surprised to see that it otherwise is on par with the 2025 Samsung QN90F. There's some real competition in this price band now!

I can't say how good these are but this is where I'm going to start with settings. He covers quite a bit
