Early on, there were definitely some bugs with the "K" series that frustrated people, but the recent firmware updates (especially the ones around Android 14) have fixed a lot of those headaches. Most people are reporting that the flickering issue—specifically when running local dimming and peak brightness at max—is largely gone now. They've also added some handy tweaks like "Natural Cinema" and better AI upscaling, which actually make a noticeable difference on lower-quality content.
As for the "best" choice, the QM9K is still the flagship with the higher zone count and extra brightness, so it's the clear winner if you're doing a lot of HDR in a bright room. A lot of people feel the QM8K is the better value, though, since the performance gap isn't always that obvious. Either way, since both models are getting those same software updates now, they're both in a much better place than they were at launch.

Looking for a replacement TV my 75" 8+ year old Samsung QLED made loud pop and stopped working. Any recommendations on best 75-85 inch for replacement? I was eying the QM9K. Looking to spend under 2K.
Looks like the 2026 model QM8L and QM9L are out.
