This 98 inch TCL QM8K is a huge mini LED TV aimed at buyers who want standout brightness, strong contrast, and a big step up in black levels and blooming control. The picture is described as night and day versus the QM7K, with the QM7K said to be much closer to it than to lower models. Best Buy also matched the price for some orders and included free delivery or installation. The main catch is logistics, since the set weighs about 122 to 174 pounds and shipping can add a lot. It is a serious large screen upgrade if you can handle the size and setup.
Shoppers willing to complete a price match through chat, because approvals were possible with online support and some purchases were refunded after paying full price first.
People mounting a very large television, because free installation was included in successful purchases and the set is heavy enough to need at least two people.
Buyers near a matching retailer, because proximity appeared to help chat approvals and the matched price was honored in store after online confirmation.
Home theater buyers wanting a giant LED screen with strong contrast, because the picture is described as a night-and-day step up with black levels and blooming that matter most to picky viewers.
People who need a simple in-store price match, because Best Buy repeatedly refused when the item was on sale or treated as a special daily deal.
Anyone expecting a quick one-step checkout, because some approvals required paying full price first and waiting for a later refund or credit.
Shoppers trying to keep total cost low on delivery, because shipping and installation can add hundreds of dollars and erase the headline price.
Viewers sensitive to black crush and blooming, because the difference in those areas is substantial and may be distracting.

I got approval through the chat and took it to my local Best Buy, and they honored it. They had to apply a percentage discount instead, which actually saved me an extra 8 cents since their system wouldn't allow the exact adjustment.
If the first person on chat doesn't approve it, try again. I got approved the first time but got disconnected, and the next rep said they couldn't see the previous chat and denied it. I tried again, and the third person approved it too.
It probably helped that I'm within 20 miles of NFM.

When I challenged them, they said:
I do understand your concern, as you can see the point: Qualified Competitor offers including contract cell phones, service prices (including delivery and installation charges), pre-order offers, rent/lease to own items, liquidation offers, trade-in offers, items denoted as Black Friday pricing, special daily or hourly sales and items for sale the Thursday before Thanksgiving Day through the Monday after Thanksgiving. " It is considered under the special deal.
Bold added by me for emphasis... So I assume they are calling it a special daily/hourly sale in order to refuse a price match - because nothing else seems like it would disqualify it.

How did you get them to see the price through chat? They told me they cannot "add to cart" to see it.
