TCL75-Inch Class QM8K Series QD-Mini LED 4K UHD Google Smart TV Next Generation Mini-LED TV - QLED, 144hz, 288hz VRR, No Bezel Design, Unrivaled Picture Quality, Ai Processing (75QM8K, 2025 Model)

⭐️ “We absolutely love our TCL QM8K! The picture quality is jaw-dropping — super bright with deep contrast thanks to its 144 Hz Mini‑LED panel and HDR boost. Watching movies or sports is immersive, and gaming feels silky smooth with low input lag and VRR support. Setup was a breeze, and Google TV is intuitive. The built‑in Bang & Olufsen audio adds clarity, though we did pair it with a soundbar for full movie nights. Bottom line: premium visuals and performance at a great price!”

I just couldn’t pass on the under $1000 Prime deal. I replaced a perfectly functional 10 year old middle of the road tv. I personally favor a bright crisp picture over film makers color accuracy and the QM8K absolutely delivers that. And I’m not the only one throwing accolades at this tv. One of the premiere tv rating sites just reviewed the QM8K and gives it the highest rating it’s ever given to a Mini QD tv. The only tvs that currently out score the QM8K’s performance are a handful of OLEDs. Most all of which are hundreds of dollars more.The TV’s overall footprint is smaller than the 65in it replaced. Considering I’m replacing a 10 year old tv, the thin bezel and the borderless design really stand out. And for whatever reason, after two weeks, the screen feels like it’s a significantly larger tv. It’s not though. It’s my perception. I almost pulled the trigger on the 75in. Perhaps the brightness of the tv is all my eyes can handle. Now I’m really glad I grabbed the 65in instead. Didn’t see that coming.The only drawback I have found so far is finding a compromise between day time and night time settings. The crazy good day time setting is way too bright at night. It’s like trying to look at the Sun. You’ll have to squint. To avoid eye strain, you need to find the sweet spot in the middle or change dimming settings for night viewing. I found starting with Dolby Vision Bright and significantly decreasing the brightness was a good start. I set Gamma to 2.2 and Color Temp to 3Warm. Color saturation 50 and Tint 60. I ended up with a 54 Black Level and really like the enhancement the Precision Detail gave me. I set all contrast levels to high or max. I removed the Soap Opera Effect with a Blur 2 and Judder 0. I set Peak Luminance at Dynamic. Start from there and adjust to your preferences. The tv has a pleasing depth I’ve not seen in other tv’s. Perhaps a future FirmWare update will make the process a bit easier.Regarding the black levels and contrast, I accept that the tv doesn’t hit OLED levels. For me the black level and contrast of the QM8K is more than acceptable. If there is blooming, I don’t see it. The native contrast ratio is 6800 to one. A minimum of at least 5500 to one is considered premium. I don’t need infinite black from an Oled screen. Surely at some point, the appearance of black and absolute black are indistinguishable to human eyes. The QM8K reaches that point.The QM8K automatically saves the settings of the picture mode you are in. You will have to create individual settings for each of the feeds. No single setting worked for each input. The inputs I use are Google Tv, Fire Stick, TCL+ TV and over air ATSC3 Antenna.The TCL+Tv was a welcome surprise. The 200 or so free channels, with commercials, provide enough programming to be worthwhile. The ATSC3 Antenna gives me all my local stations in 4K. The NextGen picture is cleaner than my old cable provider. The antenna was $40. I should have cut the cord sooner.The tv currently runs on Google OS in HDR mode giving you access to the FilmMakers and Movie settings. You don’t have access to Dolby Vision. Dolby Vision is a more refined presentation of HDR. Supposedly TCL will add Dolby Vision to Google Tv in a future firmware update later this year. I hope so. If you want Dolby Vision now, here is a work through.I purchased the top end 4K WiFi 6 Fire Stick, about $30 on sale. My internet is WiFi 6 and the tv supports WiFi 6 so load times are very fast, basically instant. The Fire Stick produces the higher quality Dolby Vision Material. The visual difference is noticeable and worth pursuing. As a side benefit, the Fire Stick Remote is universal and also powers the sound system along with the tv. The backlit Google Remote that comes with the tv isn’t universal.I use a home theater speaker system so I can’t comment on the tv’s actual sound. I’m unplugged from cable so having the NextGen Antenna tuner was mandatory. The new ATSC technology was put into some tv’s last year. If you are thinking of cutting the cord, this tuner is a must. Free network stations come in at 4k. Being able to talk directly to the TV without having to press a remote button is pretty cool.Supposedly the build quality of this TV is better than its closest competitor (who happens to also make a good affordable tv). However, its build quality isn't currently on par with the top tier companies. The QM8K doesn’t feel or look cheap. Eight years for this tv would be a decent life span. The QM8K scored higher than and cost $1800 less than the previously top rated Mini QD tv. According to an established internet tv reviewer, this 65in tv has 90% of the performance of the currently priced $2900 top rated 65in OLED.QD tvs supposedly last longer than Oled which was a consideration. They also aren’t subject to burn in. But neither are OLED’s, unless you are negligent. LCD technology was left standing when Plasma went extinct. This year, for the first time, more LED tv’s will be purchased than Oleds, mostly due to affordability. Perhaps we are seeing a similar trend play out. Micro RGB tvs are three years out. Inky dark, brighter than currents tvs, longer lasting, larger and cheaper to operate. That technology may well surpass anything we see today. We’ll start to find out next year when Sony’s Bravia 10 competes with OLED picture quality. I’m betting Micro RGB QD takes over the market. Because of the potential of Micro RGB, it’s risky spending $2800 today. No one wants buyers regret in a few years. I’ll be fine with the QM8K until then.So is this TV perfect? Of course not. If you have a window opposite this tv, you will need a drape. Regardless of claims of reduced reflection, the QM8K is about as shiny as a dull mirror. There are other high end tvs with more accurate out of the box color and better signal processing. It’s a LCD TV and by nature it’s never going to excel at off center viewing. The CRYSTGLOW WHVA panel, while perhaps giving a slightly greater viewing range, doesn’t change that. At least have reasonable expectations. And while you may not like Google OS, don’t take it out on this tv. Google OS is on many higher end tv’s. Buy a FireStick like I did, if that’s your deal breaker. Regarding the QM8K’s lack of memory, the tv comes with 48GB of usable storage. The $2800 current industry standard Mini QD tv comes with less than 16GB of usable storage. Not sure why anyone would pan this tv’s memory as negative. Lastly, if there are other boxes out there that have better pictures and cost less, please write a thorough review and tell us which ones. Evidently, Rtings and Cnet are somehow not aware of these boxes.At $995 on Prime Day, the QM8K doesn’t have to be the absolute best tv, but it’s 90% close. Let the OLED’S battle that out. TCL has given us an AFFORDABLE PREMIUM TV option. That’s really all that matters. The very definition of value. Going forward, watch TCL drive down the cost of High End OLED’S. That’s the competitive nature of a free market.It took about two weeks for me to dial my day/night picture settings in for each feed. My experimenting with settings really paid off. The viewing experience is Premium. Like $2500 Premium, based on its competitors current prices. If you don’t like playing around with settings, this may not be your tv. I don’t mind so I’m happy I jumped on the PrimeDay offer. Clean, Bright, Sharp and Colorful. For now, it’s TCL for me.

I got this to act as a PC monitor to play games, but it is so clear and bright I can work on it if I needed to as I work from home. It is connected to my RTX 5080, no issues getting it posted and working. The picture I took doesn't do it justice, my phone is overexposing it. The actual tv picture is beautiful, fonts are clear, inky blacks, good refresh rate, game mode and sound quality are all amazing. I also have a PS5 Pro hooked up to it and it works just as good as my PC. Just know that HDMI ports 3 & 4 (eARC) are only 60mhz. I love the size, but to be honest I would have gone bigger the next time as my room is huge and I could move my recliner back further. This replaced a Hisense 65 U8Q which is a very nice tv, but I feel this picture is better for gaming even though I was getting high refresh from the Hisense.

It's am absolutely fantastic TV for the price. The picture is gorgeous and Android TV is extremely easy to set up and navigate. It genuinely rivals some of the models I saw in the store that cost 3x as much.The sound is great, althought an extreme audiophile may not like the built in speakers. Connecting a sound bar or surround system should be easy enough, but I've only noticed issues with a very specific TV show so that's most likely the sound mixing at the production end.

Just recently purchased . Had it for a day and still playing around with the settings . Got it for a really great price . Impressed with the picture and brightness . Snappy OS . So far pleased with this purchase . No complaints yet . Great for family movie night and gaming .

Coming from a Samsung QN90A, and having tried the LG G4 and G5, I just couldn’t get behind OLEDs – they lack the brightness and immersion I want, especially at this price point. Decided to take a shot on the 75” TCL QM8K, and I’m still figuring out just how good it is.Pros:✅ Once I dialed in the settings, the brightness is impressive – though I do wish it could go a bit brighter.✅ HDR performance is excellent for movies, and 4K Blu-rays look absolutely amazing.✅ Gaming performance is top-notch – fast response and bright picture overall.✅ The OS is snappy, intuitive, and changing settings is a breeze.✅ From the front, the design is sleek and modern.Cons:❌ Viewing angles are definitely lacking – you lose brightness and color pretty quickly off-center.❌ The screen is very glossy, which isn’t great if your room gets a lot of light.❌ There’s a strange dimming issue that pops up in some games and a few movies – I’m really hoping TCL can fix this with a firmware update.❌ Brightness can be inconsistent; highlights don’t always pop the way I’d like.❌ The TV is pretty bulky when viewed from the side or back – not the best look if your setup exposes those angles.Overall, I’d recommend the QM8K if you’re looking for a bright, immersive experience without going OLED. It delivers excellent performance for movies and gaming, but I’m crossing my fingers TCL fixes some of these quirks with future updates.

This is a decent box, but it has some issues. The picture is very good from the front, but they haven't improved angled viewing. There is still some juddering an ongoing issue, but the motion viewing is good. The memory and OS are poor. Owners will need to change out of the Google OS in order to enjoy the full streaming experience. There are better boxes available in a similar price point.
