Community Reviews

This open box TCL QM8K is a bright QD mini LED TV that can be a strong value if the unit is in decent shape. The best reports describe display or return units arriving clean, working well, and sometimes still in the original box, with missing remotes or stands being the most common gaps. The main caution is that Fair and Good labels can hide long term demo use, so checking hours, damage, and included accessories in store or during the return window matters. A solid pick only after inspecting the exact unit.

Common Questions (4)

Often it does not. Several open-box units were missing the remote, and some also lacked the stand/legs, so it's worth checking the listing and inspecting the box contents before leaving the store.

They can be display units with many hours at full brightness, and some were used for over a year. A returned unit is more likely to be a better buy, while display models may have more wear even if they still work fine.

The standard return window is 14 days, and it can extend to 60 days with a Best Buy membership. That makes it practical to test the TV thoroughly for damage, usage, and missing accessories right away.

Yes. One open-box QM8K was registered directly with TCL and received a 1-year warranty plus an extra 90 days. If the unit is bad, checking whether it is still under warranty may also help with a replacement.

I bought the 98 inch QM8K last week in good condition for $2k. It was a display but works flawlessly, not a scratch on it, and came packaged in the original box. This is a big YMMV purchase though. Mine did not have a stand (legs) which I did not need anyway and was missing a remote that I snagged on eBay for $14. I registered it with TCL directly and they provided a year + 90 day warranty. So far so good!

Mine didn't come with a stand or a remote, but I saved like $400. Remote was $10, and I hung it on the wall anyway. Looks pretty good to me. You have 30 days to return it if anything about it bugs you, like Burn in. 75" QM7K. I wouldn't touch Fair, those usually have scratches.

These look to be demo units with many hours powered on at full brightness. Make sure you fully check it out within the return period.

I'd check usage etc. Most Fair or Good end up being display models which they torch the screen.

Larger screen sizes got the largest discounts because of storage concerns so they liquidate below retail

I went to a BestBuy nearby that has a Open Box good for this TV. Sadly it is a display model that has been running for over a year, even though it is not an OLED so no burn-in concern, still feel like the discount cannot justify the over-usage of it. But if you can find a returned one, it would be a steal.

Are they usually still hooked up where you could check the hours before buying?

Great deal! Just went and bought the open box - good condition. Ended up being the display tv without a remote. $20 for the remote though, so still a great deal as compared to regular price.

Just depends. For example, the one I bought today was a "good" condition only because the remote was missing. No damage to tv.

14 days return, unless you have one of their memberships to extend it to 60 days.

The discounts vary widely
Doesn't necessarily always have to with size you will find
