How does this compare to say an S90F OLED or C5 OLED? This seems to be about the same price or maybe a touch more if you can find either of those.I know its maybe not apples to oranges OLED vs mini LED QLEDThe TV is used in a room with average brightness, and its used for V FIOS cable box for Sports on TV, TV series, news programs, and then using apps like Netflix, Prime VIDEO and Peacock and Paramount series...Thanks for any insights
I returned a LG G4 83 inch OLED for a 98 inch TCL QM8K, and super happy with it.

The QM8K contrast and black levels held their own against the flagship OLED, but it absolutely destroyed the OLED in specular highlights, brightness, and HDR pop.

Tying to hold myself back thinking about pulling the trigger on this at this price to replace an older oled TV. This TV hasn't really been on my radar bc price but I've seen it in person and it's stunning. And it physically looks really nice too. I'd always get at least a soundbar but the speaker configuration on this TV sounds excellent.

Lol. Dude. The QM8K is a good TV but nowhere close to a G4 or any G series TV. This might be the funniest thing I heard all day and I own a 8K.

It's bright. Bright doesn't equal better. Any OLED mid and high end will blow this away. Heck the 8K rated the same as 9K at Rtings.

The major problem and I'm not sure why they would do that on a flagship or even the 8k but only having 2 - 2.1 HDMI ports is sucky.

I'm familiar with panel tech. My once very dark room has now become very bright lol. Real scene (not peak) brightness on oleds are still very low compared to qd mini leds even if it's a mid to high end oled. I missed the 77 inch S90F deal while back for $1299 unfortunately bc I didn't have access to an edu account at the time and that was definitely the best big screen TV deal of the year imo.

I don't have to baby my LG C4 for burn in. It had been my desktop monitor for almost 2 years (9494 running hours).

I have 3x lg 48" cx oleds that I bought on sale in 2021 and they've all got quite a bit of burn-in, particularly the taskbar icons at the bottom of the screen. they do have perfect blacks, and hdr is nice (but really dim at about 600nits peak). I love the promise of oled, perfect blacks, 3840x2160 dimming zones, but the output brightness kind of sucks honestly as far as modern hdr goes, and the burn-in is totally real.

need advice from the fellow members.

I am replacing a 60 inch KS8000 purchased back in 2016, it sometimes blinks red continuously for 20-30 minutes and then turns on, not completely dead yet.

I would like to get a 75 to 77 inch TV this time, trying to decide on the right one that will last a while.

I have two small windows directly facing the TV, should I consider S90H matte screen, LG G6 that handle reflections well or will this one work equally well. I understand the price difference is significant but at the same time I would like to spend on a TV that will hopefully last a while

I have a C series LG and the 8k. I prefer the 8k for action movies like avengers, etc. the hdr highlights make it a lot of fun and the black is surprisingly black. The bars are jet black and the dimming works really well.

How would you compare sports?

And action movies are you watching on fios or cable or on netflix, prime etc?

Those are the two things I mainly watch

This is last year's flagship, and beats the new 2026 QM8L in dimming zones and brightness.

Could go either way - might save $100 by waiting, or the QM9K could sell out at current prices, seeing as it beats the lower tier 2026 models despite costing... Less.

QM9K = 2025 Lexus
QM8L = 2026 Toyota

If I was in the market today, I would lock down that Lexus.
The Toyota is getting Dolby Vision 2. The Lexus is not.
