Community Reviews
The 98 inch QM8K stands out as a very bright mini LED TV that fits large, sunlit rooms and delivers a big step up in picture quality, dimming zones, and bezel design over cheaper TCL models. It is described as especially strong for daytime viewing, with impressive results after calibration and a picture that works well for 4K Blu ray movies. The main caveat is value, since the QM7K is often framed as close in performance for less money, and the Best Buy installation experience has ranged from smooth to frustrating. A strong fit when size and brightness matter most.
Common Questions (5)
The QM8K adds more dimming zones, slightly higher brightness, and a cleaner minimal bezel, while the QM7K is often described as the better value and the QM6K Pro as having more blooming. The QM8K can be worth the extra cost if you want the brighter, more premium picture and design, but the QM7K is close for about $1,000 less.
It can go very well, with professional installers handling mounting, stud placement, and even difficult moves into basements. There are also reports of repeated cancellations and no-notice scheduling problems, so the service appears highly location-dependent.
Yes. The QM8K is positioned above the QM7K for bright rooms, with slightly higher brightness and more dimming zones, and it is described as a strong fit for large, bright living rooms. The QM7K is already bright enough for many rooms, but the QM8K gives extra headroom if you want more punch.
It uses a different screen coating than previous versions, and some units or replacement remotes have been reported with backlight-related issues. A backlit remote may need to be specifically verified before buying a replacement.
Yes. The TV has been price matched at Best Buy for as low as $2,197, and AAFES was mentioned at the same $2,999.99 price with no tax and free shipping, though without installation.
