This is an impressive price for a 85" TV. For people looking for over 77" at a great value, this is a great price for a reliable TV. Thanks for posting!!!

How does this compare to Costco TCL QLED 85 inches for $699?

The TCL Q77K (which Costco lists 85" for $700) is a low end TV. I just realized this one is the Q651G and not the Q650G and therefore is only slightly better overall offering better contrast and brightness. Initially I accidentally read rtings professional review for Q650G (Q6 series as well) which scores even better across multiple categories including smooth motion handling, brighter, and better contrast. So it's a small step up but sadly not as large a step as the Q650G. For people looking for 85" TV it's nearly impossible to get a high end (or even mid-end picture quality) without paying quite a bit more than the 77" market.

I haven't kept up with TVs in past few years. How does this compare to an LG OLED? Obviously an 83" LG is 2500 but curious if this punches way above its weight and a negligible difference?

This TV is terrible compared to an LG OLED (or many other OLEDs). OLEDs light up each of their 8.3 million pixels individually meaning they have perfect contrast and perfect color accuracy. This TV is also on the low end in terms of picture quality meaning LG OLEDs (including cheaper B series) have better motion smoothing and better image upscaling. The only weakness OLEDs have is their maximum brightness is lower than some competitors, but this particular model does worse in that area as well. OLEDs do perfectly in a dark and moderately lit room, but suffer from glare in a brightly lit up room or if sunlight directly hits the screen. This TV is not the solution for an extremely bright room anyway though. LG OLEDs (and many top competitors) also have less than 1% negative feedback showing major breakdowns while this TV has over 4% (which is still much better than many). So OLEDs will VERY likely last you several years and while OLED technology's lifespan is shorter than other technologies, it should still give you several years of stunning picture quality. There are only two major disadvantages with top OLED competitors (LG being the best choice in my opinion). The first is price as you mentioned. 83" cost an arm and a leg. 77" for the first time, just had a $1085 sale on the Samsung S90F 77" and $1583 on the LG C5 77" (and those sales were FAST). The other disadvantage is once you see how beautiful OLEDs are, it's impossible to go back. You can see all the details in actor's eyes, skin, the background, and everything making it all feel so real and the colors are so vibrant. For people who have never compared the technologies or read extremely detailed reviews (rtings is the best. Whathifi sometimes is okay), they can stick with normal TVs which still do a good enough job until you've seen OLED.

I would disagree with some of this

First off..you should look at a Sony bravia 9 to see how good an LED can be..or even better the new Bravia 9 Mk 2 version

Next...there are differences in OLED's. If you want one for a bright room you need to spend a significant amount more money
Even then to my eyes, the Sony processing is better
This coming from a person who owns the Sony A95L and the LG G5
The Sony A95L is the better of the two

In the Value Electronics ( and HDTV blind tests) the LG G5 came in 4th last year
This year the G6 performed better but still lost to the Samsung S95H

I never claimed that there weren't differences in OLEDs. What I was pointing out is that high-end TVs using other technologies, such as mini-LED, have the potential to be brighter than OLED technology. For example, the TCL QM9K, can reach over 6000 nits of brightness while even flagship OLED's, like the ones you're mentioning, cannot quite reach that level. That being said, due to OLED's multiple strengths, I agree that flagships like the Sony A95L, LG G series, and Samsung S95 series cannot be beat overall and are only beat in brightness, which is the only relative weakness of OLED technology. I also agree this weakness isn't very large when referring to relatively modern flagship OLEDs (OLED's have come a long way since the first reliable LG OLEDs were released in 2016). People who have the money to easily buy those extremely expensive flagships you mentioned should have no issues with buying a blackout curtain or shade to prevent large amounts of bright sunlight from hitting their TV.

I am impressed you own two flagship OLEDs and that both of them were purchased in the last few years. I've read a lot about the models you're referring to mostly using detailed rtings reviews, but personally I'm very happy with my 65" $972 LG C5 as we have dimming lights in our family room and no sunlight. I was also impressed with the recent 77" OLED sales (e.g. Samsung S90F for $1085), but even getting used to the giant 65" size took us quite a while.

Personally, in my opinion, I don't consider Samsung's to be the best value because both articles and past experience show me that Samsung does NOT allow disabling all adware and promotions. My new LG C5, on the other hand, lets me easily create an extremely clean interface just by disabling live plus, home promotions, and targeted ads. Not having to use a separate streaming remote makes things feel so much easier. The LG C series also comes with a noticeably more durable body and stand than the Samsung S90F it directly competes against. As for Sony, I both read articles and owned a Sony TV a long time ago and was impressed by their top user friendliness and picture quality, but as far as I know the Sony A95L or even the Sony X90L never had an competitive sale price even in 65" size (65" Samsung S90C hit $1000 price and LG had similar sales at the time). I agree for people willing to splurge top dollar though, Sony makes some incredible TVs and I even agree paying a few hundred dollars extra for such top quality (e.g. user friendly, durable, etc) makes sense.

AgainI really think you should look at some better mini ledsI use the Sony Bravia 9!again as a defense setIt's a better sat than anything that TCL has ever released In fact , I dare say it's the best mini led everNot everyone can use black out curtains in their roomsI cannot in one room I have windows on both sides of the room with 1 set being 8 feet wide of glassAdditionally, some people just like the punchy brightness that you can still only obtain with a mini ledThis also helps them significantly in HDR material Oled works well for some people, but there are still situations , in my opinion, where mini led is a better fitHence the reason that is the technology of the tv hanging over my fireplace that has windows on both sides

Again, I agree Mini-led's have a brightness advantage and people who's room is too bright (and therefore need a bright TV) definitely should look at them. And as I said before Sony makes solid TVs. Also, the cheapest deal I've found posted on slickdeals in the past for the TCL QM8K 65" is $900. In contrast, the cheapest deal posted on the Sony Bravia 9 65" in the past was $2000. Most people, including myself are unwilling to pay twice as much for a VERY similar TV, even if it is slightly better. Both of these posts happened to be in November 2025.

People paying for the Bravia 9 think it's more than slightly better than the TCLYou cannot put on a spec sheet the improvement in picture processing that the Sony hasAdmittedly , one would need to have both in their home to obtain the difference in the two

I think there are some real differences in the Sony bravia 9 and the TCL QM8K

To your point..I am sure TCL sells a lot more QM8's than Sony sells bravia 9's

But to that same point I think there are differences in the top OLED's as well

And again, I am sure they sell more cheaper OLED's than they do the flagship OLEDs
Meaning, for example, LG sells a lot more B and C series than they do G series

Those people that are paying extra see the difference and think its worth it

I can certainly see the difference in the panels I just mentioned

Whether or not if its worth the difference in price is a matter of taste , worth and budget

Flagship anything is never the best value
