Ultimately went with the QN90F after an excessive amount of research and viewing them at Best Buy. OLED burn-in still has me a bit irrational at this point, so I eliminated the S95F and G5. The TCL looked solid, but the matte screen sold me on the QN90F.
People who hate on the matte screen are just curmudgeons or obnoxious purists who have the luxury of a pitch black basement set up. Watching TV you don't even notice it at all. And watching during the day is awesome to not have to worry about reflections. Night time watching is also great.
Lack of Dolby Vision support is annoying, but HD10 is good enough for me. I will say I absolutely HATE with all my being the Samsung UI and how it constantly prompts you to make an account. You can't even us various streaming apps from it without first having a Samsung account. Maybe this is just the norm in 2026 for TVs, but coming from my 10yr old TV is annoying AF. Ultimately it's not a deal breaker b/c we use Apple TV, but it's the principle.
Only had it a month, but so far so good.
Community Reviews
The TCL QM8K is a bright, feature packed Mini LED TV that stands out in sunlit rooms and for Google TV flexibility. It is described as handling glare through sheer brightness, with vivid mode and roughly 3000 effective nits, and it adds an ATSC 3.0 tuner plus strong app compatibility. The glossy screen can still raise reflection concerns in very bright spaces, and some comparisons favor Samsung's matte finish or Sony's longer track record. Pricing also moved around, with reports of the 75 inch model at $1500, earlier lows near $1400, and a recent drop to $1299.
bright, window-heavy living rooms where you want to watch during the day because people say the QM8K's sheer brightness in vivid mode works well in extremely bright rooms and helps overcome glare/reflections.
people who are deciding between TCL and Sony Bravia 7 at similar prices and prefer to hedge with a longer warranty because one commenter chose Sony over a prior TCL failure after 3 years, and recommends the TCL with a 5-year warranty when considering the Sony alternative.
buyers who care about future-proofing over older tuners because commenters specifically point to the QM8K having an ATSC 3.0 tuner.
people who want Google TV app compatibility and stronger IPTV options because commenters say the QM8K's GoogleTV platform gives better app compatibility and better IPTV app support.
shoppers who are cross-shopping premium TVs and want a glossy screen that still performs in daylight because one commenter says they didn't notice reflections during the day and that day viewing was "awesome" for not having to worry about reflections.
buyers who are comparing against Samsung and want to avoid Samsung's Dolby Vision limitations because at least one commenter says Samsung is a "no-go" for them since it doesn't support Dolby Vision.
buyers who are very sensitive to screen reflections and want matte anti-glare specifically because at least one commenter says they ultimately chose the QN90F's matte screen for reflection handling in day/night viewing, implying the TCL's glossy approach may not be the deciding factor for them.
people who watch a lot of Dolby Vision content and don't want to verify compatibility requirements because one commenter says they watch a lot of DV and warns that you need to understand/meet the TV's requirements before choosing between options.
buyers who are mainly looking for a "safe" long-term track record based on past TCL reliability because one commenter reports a prior TCL failure (board after 3 years) and chose Sony as the safer choice despite similar pricing.
shoppers who are trying to time the deal price because the community reports the posted deal price dropped and that the price is higher (e.g., $1299) at BestBuy/Amazon, making the offer less compelling.

If you are in a room with lights/windows I think you will be happier with the TCL in this thread
It seems like the QM8K overcomes glare with shear brightness whereas the QN90F has a matte surface that eliminates glare at the expense some color and contrast. For those who may have a QM8K in a bright room, do you notice the glossy finish at all? Thanks!
Having said that, I was able to get their sound bar at a good price and have it delivered (part of a package deal with the TV). So this might be a one time thing where I got really lucky with the soundbar but incredibly unlucky with the TV.
