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.

    k0dakm0ment

  • 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."

    dawei213

  • 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).

Ugh, so tempting. I was hoping for sub $3k qm8k 98" but this is a steal.
98" QM8K is available for sub $3K; NFM has it for $3k and if you add it to cart it will go down to $2800.

I ordered the 98" TCL QM8K last week for delivery and installation at $2,999 last week which puts the price difference at $1000 from the QM7K. I didn't mind a $500 difference, but I don't think there is $1000 worth of difference. What are the chances of the QM8K getting a similar $500 reduction in price so I can price match? Should I swap to the QM7K for the cost savings?
98" QM8K at Nebraska Furniture Mart is $2800 (add to the cart).

Yessir. I don't have a NFM near me in WI and I doubt BB will price match due to NFM not having a presence here. Hoping to see it drop some before BF though. Even at $1k difference I'm still finding it hard to want the qm8k over a $2k qm7k. 50% price hike is difficult to justify.

Price Matched the QM7K at Best Buy with NFM. Nearest NFM is over 400 miles from me and Best Buy still matched.

I placed an order in BestBuy but its warranty kind of concerned me. I used BestBuy credit card so it does not have extended warranty. Now the TV only carries one year manufacture warranty. And I do not want to spend another $500 for geek squad protection plan. Any ideas? Or maybe I should go to Costco?

How are you price matching it? Via Chat or calling in? I did it via chat twice and called once and all have said they are unable to because it hasn't been delivered it.

I'm using the Citi Double Cash back card that extends the warranty to 2 years. I'm considering adding another 3rd party warranty but with the Citi Double Cash back card, I'll have 3 years on it.

Good points. Costco lets you buy their AllState TV protection for $100 for 3 yr additional protection; for Costco members, will that be an option? Not sure if their Costco Citi card provides any additional protection.

I did it via chat, at first rep said no, i told him my friend got it matched earlier today and the rep came back after "researching" and matched it. He did ask zip code prior to ordering so was well aware i do not live near a NFM. Rep sent me the link to the cart and i paid the matched price using the link provided.

I tried with BB but they said they do not PM with NFM. Please advise.

Update: Took more persistence, but they did it. BB does PM with NFM. Agent was incorrect. I had to show them.

You may want to chat online with their representatives. If it does not work, find another rep and try again.
