Community Reviews

The 98 inch TCL QM7K stands out as a huge, bright mini LED TV with deep blacks, strong local dimming, and picture quality that gets compared favorably to OLED. It also draws praise for gaming features and Dolby Vision, and the size makes it a dramatic basement or home theater upgrade. The main cautions are its weight and awkward mounting needs, since the VESA holes sit low and a sturdy large mount or professional installation matters. A buzzing issue has also been reported on some 2024 and 2025 units, though other sets have no such problem.

  • buyers who are comfortable doing a price-match workflow to hit a lower effective price because multiple commenters reported successfully price matching the QM7K to NFM (even when NFM was far away) and getting it around the $1839-$1840 range.

  • buyers planning to mount the TV and want retailer installation because commenters said they bought it with free mounting/installation and that it looked great in-store, and another said Best Buy installation went well and was worth it for a heavy TV.

    900shizdizzle

  • basement or bright-room setups where you need high brightness and strong gaming performance because one commenter chose the 98" TCL for the basement and said it was "spectacular for brightness" with "solid gaming features," and another said the QM7K at max was already "too bright" in a dark room.

  • home theater shoppers who want near-OLED contrast without going OLED because one owner said the 2500 local dimming zones make it "close to OLED," and another replacement buyer said the picture is amazing and close to OLED.

  • 98-inch TV shoppers who want a huge, bright picture and are happy to pay for a premium model at a strong sale price because one owner said the 98" QM7K is "enormous and gorgeous" with "absolutely zero regrets" and that they don't think you'll get a better price on this model.

  • people who want to replace a smaller TV but are limited by access constraints because one buyer said the 98" was the largest they could fit in their basement and after replacing a Sony 75" they were "couldn't be happier" with an OLED-like picture.

  • buyers who are relying on a specific pull-down mount model because one commenter warned that the motorized Monoprice pull-down version "won't handle this weight," and said the manual version is the one that can handle up to 150 lbs with proper stud installation.

    SuperMarioWorld

  • people who need to price match after the TV has already been ordered but before delivery because one commenter said their chat/phone price-match attempts were denied since the TV "hasn't been delivered yet."

  • buyers who are sensitive to potential hardware defects because a commenter warned about a buzzing issue reported to have started in 2024 models and continuing into 2025 models (even though others said their unit didn't have it).

    dasboots

  • buyers who want to avoid retailer warranty add-ons because one commenter said they were concerned Best Buy only included a 1-year manufacturer warranty and they didn't want to pay about $500 for Geek Squad protection.

    buaa

  • people who are shopping for a 98"-size Amazon warranty add-on because one commenter said Amazon removed the 4-year protection for the 98" size (while other sizes still had it).

Would BB still help with installing my wall mount if I was to buy the wall mount from another retailer but buy this TV from BB?
As long as the mount works with the tv, yes they will install it. I was told the Sanus 65-140" is a good one for this.

I would jump on it! If the price drops, BB can deliver the new one, and pick up the other while there for return processing.
Ordered, total sh!tshow. It ended up being a grubby display model with almost 2k hours on it. I couldn't believe it and the store did nothing to rectify the situation. They also made me wait around for over an hour because they couldn't figure out what TV it was... it was actually in the display spot where a QM8 was supposed to be. 100% terrible experience lol. I called corporate to complain and they basically did nothing either.

Got the same question. Extremely hard to decide between the QM7K vs U7 or QM8K vs U8.
My budget is $2500 for 100" TV. Any help is appreciated.
Personally, I went with the UM7K (98 inch) for the basement TV room and with the UM8K (65 inch) for an upstairs tv where bright light is a pain. Both TV's are spectacular for brightness, deep inky blacks, solid gaming features, etc.TCL all day, if you want my two cents. 🙌🏼

I bought the 98" QM7k in October from bestbuy and had them install a wallmount from monoprice and mount it for free. The box is huge and heavy, so definitely worth buying from somewhere that will install for free and clean up packaging. They did a good job fwiw.

I absolutely love this TV. I debated between this, the qm8k, and the hisense equivalents. If you want my advice, just get this and don't look back. 2k for a tv of this quality is almost unbelievable. The only main benefit of the QM8k is it's brighter, but the QM7k at max is already too bright in many instances in a dark room. I can't imagine needing anything brighter. I've had a few people comment and think it is an OLED. Local dimming is fantastic. If it fits in your house, just get it.

Where are you seeing this? I added to cart and selected Prime Credit card, but didn't see the additional discount.

I went to Bestbuy to see if they price match with nfm, currently advertised at $1839. The first sale guy said no. I talked to another more friendlier sale person and said I would buy 2 Tvs. He punched in some number in his computer and said he will price match if I buy the $50 BestBuy membership plus. The membership comes with 60 day price protection and a bunch of other benefits. He said if I use Bestbuy credit card, I can get 10% worth of rewards which about $360. So I bought 2 Tvs with free delivery and installation. Total is $3680($1840 each) + $50 membership + sale tax - $360 (worth of rewards points). Not too bad in my opinion.
