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.

  • The added cost of the QM8K versus cheaper QM6K Pro options can feel hard to justify when similar specs are available at much lower prices.

  • Best Buy installation scheduling can fail for large TVs, with cancellations and lack of notice leading to order cancellations.

  • Daytime visibility can still be difficult in extremely bright rooms, even when the TV is intended for brightness.

  • Backlit remote availability can be inconsistent, since a replacement remote reportedly arrived without backlighting before a later order included it.

Do not buy large TVs from Best Buy based on installation. You'll likely have, at a minimum, numerous cancellations of visits, and ultimately silence from Best Buy requiring order cancellation. Personal experience (3 unilateral cancelations with no notice involving a 98qm8k) plus numerous comments here and elsewhere.
I bought my 98" QM7K fromBest Buy and they installed it quickly and professionally. Couldn't have been happier.

I've been an OLED guy for the past decade, and I still love my 77" LG C2, but I wanted something bigger and you can't go bigger than 83" with OLED unless you want to spend 15-25 grand. This TV is awesome and it feels like a great way to get a TV that is massive and still great quality. Highly recommend for 4k blu ray movies
