TCL85-Inch QM8 QLED 4K Smart Mini LED TV with Google (85QM850G, 2023 Model) Dolby Vision, Atmos, HDR Ultra, Game Accelerator up to 240Hz, Voice Remote, Works Alexa, Streaming Television

So far I am very happy with the TV. I bought it mainly for gaming.2016 is when I got serious into premium TV just to have a good picture quality for games. my first TV back then was the samsung KS8000. I was really surprised with the picture quality but down the road I noticed a flaw: game mode downgrade the picture quality.the input lag out of game mode in the ks8000 isnt good so eventually I put my eyes on the lg oled c8. excellent picture quality in game mode. barely any input lag but then another thing started to bother me. the high peak brightness wasnt high enough. the ks8000 has awesome peak brightness so I was used to it. I loved the perfect black and contrast on the oled c8 but I felt it needed that peak brightness to make it perfect. Eventually my household were living on one income so Istopped looking at TV until last year.Then I discovered the Samsung s95b and discovered that it has all the benefits pack in one, high peak brightness, excellent contrast and perfect blacks but I couldnt afford it until recently I discovered the TCL QM8. Started reading reviews and heard about the high peak brightness and that the blacks levels were very close to Oled and excellent contrast for just $1000. I couldnt believe it and was very skeptical. kept reading reviews, noticed that amazon has a monthly payment plan with no interest and decide it to give it a go and...it is the gamers dream comes true for just $1000 instead of paying $1,700 for the samsung s90C. As soon as I installed it, started playing Alan Wake 2 which is a dark game and was really surprised at the black levels. I swear the black levels looks like my lg oled c8 but now with high peak brightness (higher than ks8000) and the best of all, very low input lag!.granted I havent seen the samsung s90c in person but I can say my TCL qm8 has shown almost a match or improvement in every category I care about. Higher peak brightness than the ks8000 and the lg oled c8, and the black levels and contrast are very close to my oled for just $1000.After gaming for years on my oled c8, I started craving for that peak brightness so went back to my ks8000 and was playing through that horrible input lag. not anymore!Excellent value for the price.

I purchased this TV primarily because it has the single stand in the center of the TV. Most TV's this size have legs set to the far outside of the TV, where you must have a platform that is 65" or more wide. Otherwise you must hang it on a wall. I didn't want to purchase a new stand for a lesser expensive TV, and I didn't want to mount on the wall. The middle stand works great. The picture is very good for a TV of this size at this price point. The sound is really good, but I still added a surround sound system to it. The remote is backlit and that is great. The TV responds very fast when navigating between the home screen, apps, settings. etc.Setup was very simple. It does require 2 people to lay it horizonal, so that you may attach the base. I used the Styrofoam packaging for this purpose and had the base on in 5 minutes. Connections on the rear are organized and well labeled. From unbox to watching movies took about 25 minutes.I've had this TV for 3 weeks now and have no complaints. I'll follow up as needed if that changes.

I previously had a TCL Roku 75 inch TV and was very happy with it. I was interested in going bigger and did a lot of research on the new TCL QM8 85 inch and when Amazon’s price went down, decided to go for it. Sometimes bigger is better- this TV is awesome! The picture detail, brightness and black levels are as good as TVs that cost thousands more. I spent $4.99 for a video on You Tube that very specific advice on detailed settings for the QM8 and within 10 minutes the picture looked outstanding- using the Dolby Vision Bright or Dark or the Movie setting (the Dolby Vision IQ uses some motion smoothing that I don’t like). The point is that if you spend some time on the settings to get the TV to look the way you like you’ll be very happy. Although out of the box the picture is impressive. One of of the big surprises for me was how my Atmos set up sounds so much better since my TV is connected to my receiver. I also love the Google smart TV voice control. No more clicking the remote and speaking into the remote- you’re able to speak to the TV and give commands about playing a specific movie or finding a streaming service (you can even ask, “what’s the weather in NYC?”). And the hundreds of free Google TV channels was a a very nice plus. So the TV is beyond my expectations for amazing picture, great interface and the extras I mentioned. And I recommend to pay the $30 service fee to have Amazon bring the TV to the space you want and set it up. They did a great job and within 20 minutes I was able to fire up the TCL and enjoy.
