Community Reviews

The TCL QM8K stands out as a bright room TV with strong daytime performance, and the 4K panel is the real resolution despite the model name. It is often described as a step up from the QN90D for bright spaces, with very good picture quality and an impressive sound system. The main caveats are weaker dark room performance than OLED, some reports of blur, humming or buzzing at high brightness, and the ARC port not being HDMI 2.1. It looks like a solid fit if your room has a lot of light and you can work around the audio setup.

Common Questions (5)

  • No. The ARC/eARC port is not a 2.1 port, so some buyers see that as a limitation if they want multiple HDMI 2.1 devices plus audio return on the same setup.

    Twelve_of_SpadesSonicTronTwelve_of_SpadesTwelve_of_Spades

  • Yes. It is repeatedly described as strong in bright-room use and daytime viewing, with better performance than many alternatives in well-lit spaces. In darker rooms, OLEDs still have the edge for deeper blacks and less haloing.

    bartshortsvprotasovTwoFlyShy

  • Yes. A practical setup is to plug a 2.1 device like an Xbox into another HDMI port and use the ARC port only for the soundbar or receiver, which still gives you sound and 2.1 video. This is most useful if you do not have multiple 2.1 devices competing for ports.

    LearoJollyHose932Twelve_of_Spades

  • The built-in audio is described as average rather than standout. It may be acceptable in a tight space, but several buyers still preferred adding a soundbar or receiver for better bass and fuller sound.

    IDWIWDWIbuy_now_think_laterTwoFlyShy

  • No. It is a 4K TV; "8K" is only part of the model name.

This destroys the Samsung. I have the 98 inch qm8k and chose it over the 83 inch LG G4 OLED flagship. Very happy with the purchase this past summer for $3k

here are the two TVs side by side Rtngs comparison:

I'm seeing this marked as the better tv vs the qn90d and better than most others for bright room but compared to an OLED like the S90D in a dark room, this ain't it "Samsung TV delivers the best dark room experience, with deep inky blacks, perfect black uniformity, and no distracting haloing around bright highlights or subtitles."

I got this TV a couple months ago. It's awesome for bright room daytime viewing.

You are right but - Word of warning - the S90D is definitely best in a dark room but only a small amount of ambient light will DRAMATICALLY elevate the blacks on the S90D. Blacks will become grey. All this love of inky OLED blacks? Gone.So if you have a window with the sun pumping light into your room ( not even directly on the TV) think twice. You might not be getting the OLED experience you think you are.
