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.
Common Questions (5)
The TCL QM8K relies on high brightness and a glossy panel, while the Samsung QN90F/QN90D uses a matte or anti-glare finish that reduces reflections more directly. In very bright rooms, the Samsung can make blacks look cleaner and reflections easier to manage, but the TCL is still favored by some for overall picture pop and brightness.
Yes. It is described as plenty bright for sunlit rooms, including one setup that replaced a Sony OLED in an extremely bright living room. One comment also cites about 3000 effective nits in vivid mode, which is the main reason it can overcome glare without a matte screen.
Yes, and that matters if you watch a lot of Dolby Vision content. Samsung alternatives are repeatedly called out for lacking Dolby Vision, which is a deciding factor for shoppers who want that format.
Best Buy is reported to match Amazon at the posted price, and Costco is mentioned as offering the 75-inch model for the same $1500 with an extended warranty. A later comment says the deal dropped to $1299 at Best Buy and Amazon.
At the prices discussed, the Bravia 7 is about $200 more, while the 75-inch QM8K is described as $300-400 less than the Samsung QN90F. The TCL is also favored for Google TV, ATSC 3.0, and broader app compatibility, while some shoppers still choose Sony for long-term reliability and warranty coverage.

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!

Also GoogleTV for better app compatibility. Better IPTV apps if you want to go down the rabbit hole of IPTV. Get 1000 channels for $100/year online.

a $30-404K streaming box is your friend for getting away from the TV prompts
I am curious...what was the price difference at the time you bought between the Samsung and the TCL?
if you were considering the Sony bravia 9 that would be another story

The 75" TCL is on sale for $1500 now. Even had I waited, I think the Samsung was the better fit for my bright room with lots of windows.
