The TCL QM8K is out, so the QM6K is 19% off and the QM7K is 33% off
For those who are on the hunt for TV deals to upgrade their home theater setup, we highly recommend going for TCL. It's made a name as one of the best TV brands with the value that its products provide, and the flagship TCL QM8K, which we gave a score of 4.5 stars out of 5 stars in our review, is an excellent example of this. However, we'd like to highlight the discounts from Amazon on two other models in the same line: the 65-inch TCL QM6K at 19% off, for a $148 discount that brings it down to $650, and the 65-inch TCL QM7K at 33% off, for a $502 discount that brings it down to $998. The savings that you can get for the 65-inch TCL QM6K and the 65-inch TCL QM7K aren't going to last forever though. There's no telling how much time is remaining on these savings, or when the stocks that are up for sale will run out. If you're interested in buying either one of these QD-Mini LED TVs, we highly recommend proceeding with your purchase as soon as you can. TCL 65-inch QM6K QD-Mini LED 4K TV — $650 $798 19% off We described the TCL QM6K as 'the TV most people should buy' in our review, and that's even more true right now as you can get it at 19% off for a $148 discount. TCL's QD-Mini LED technology enables amazing black levels and lifelike colors, with its LD500 Precise Dimming technology for up to 500 precisely controlled dimming zones. The TV also offers 4K Ultra HD resolution for intense sharpness, up to a 288Hz refresh rate for gaming, and Onkyo Audio and Dolby Atmos for cinematic sound. TCL 65-inch QM7K QD-Mini LED 4K TV — $998 $1,500 33% off The TCL QM7K is even closer to the quality of the TCL QM6K, and it's available with a larger discount compared to the TCL QM6K — 33% off, for savings of $502. The TCL QM7K is among the recipients of our Top Tech of CES 2025 Awards, and that's partly because of its LD2500 Precise Dimming technology for up to 2,500 precisely controlled dimming zones, as well as the integration of Bang & Olufsen Audio. Everything that made the TCL QM6K a great TV is elevated further in the TCL QM7K, making it our recommended choice for a TV in this budget range.

TCL QM8K review: the TV to beat in 2025
TCL QM8K MSRP $2,499.00 Score Details 'TCL's new premium flagship is the TV to beat this year' Pros Top of class HDR brightness Outstanding color accuracy Impressive built-in audio Cons Reflective screen 'Why you can trust Digital Trends – We have a 20-year history of testing, reviewing, and rating products, services and apps to help you make a sound buying decision. Find out more about how we test and score products.' Earlier this year, TCL held a briefing to show off its new premium flagship QD-MiniLED unit, the QM8K. As the TCL team walked me through the most exciting features of the new model, it became clear that the Chinese brand is gunning for the high-end TV market like never before. Recommended Videos Everything about the QM8K is designed to compete with the largest players in the game, and the executives spoke of their mission to aggressively grow market share in the premium segment. We were impressed by the TCL QM7K released earlier this year, but the QM8K is a step above in every way as TCL attempts to produce one of the best tvs around. TCL QM8K specs Sizes 65, 75, 85, and 98 inches Pricing $2,499.99, $3,199.99, $3,799.99, and $6,499.99 Display type QD-Mini LED Operating system Google TV Screen resolution 4K Ultra HD (3,840 x 2,160) HDR support Dolby Vision, Dolby Vision Gaming, Dolby Vision IQ, HDR 10+, HDR10, HLG Native refresh rate 144Hz Gaming features Auto Game Mode (ALLM), AMD FreeSync Premium Pro, Game Accelerator 288, VRR (up to 144Hz) Audio support Dolby Atmos, Dolby Digital+, Dolby Digital, DTS: Virtual X (Passthrough Dolby Atmos, Dolby Digital+, Dolby Digital, PCM) Connectivity 4 HDMI (1x eARC), USB 3.0, USB 2.0, Ethernet (LAN), S/PDIF, ATSC 3.0 Tuner A premium build that sheds TCL's budget reputation The QM8K adopts a new ZeroBorder design that lends a premium aesthetic and an almost edgeless appearance when viewed from a normal viewing distance. The combined width of the bezel and border comes in at an impressive 3-4mm. Contributing to the premium build is the QM8K's single-piece aerospace-grade aluminum alloy mold, which lends more rigidity to the body of the TV than plastic-heavy molds like those common in cheaper models. Much of the rear trim of the QM8K is still plastic, however, which helps keep the total weight of the 85″ unit we tested to a reasonable 85 pounds. The cheaper QM7K shipped with a plastic stand that felt a bit flimsy during setup, while the QM8K comes with a metal stand instead. Full transparency here: due to a shipping error, the QM8K we tested came without the new stand, so pictured is the QM8K installed on the QM7K's plastic stand. A check of the specs shows that the 'metal' stand weighs just 1.15 pounds more than the plastic one, so the QM8K stand is likely still a plastic or composite core with metal accenting. Even the remote got an upgrade for the QM8K, sporting a metallic-accent front plate. The button presses are crisp—almost 'clickier' than on the QM7K. Backlighting on the buttons when you pick up the remote ensures it won't get lost in the couch cushions at night. Impressive built-in audio on the QM8K Built-in TV speakers don't often provide audio quality that is all that compelling. I mostly find them to function as a stopgap until you can get a soundbar or speaker system set up. But I have to say, I was truly impressed with the Bang & Olufsen setup on the QM8K. The 85W system provides plenty of power, and I experienced zero distortion when bumping up the volume. Loud action scenes were exceedingly crisp, and dialogue was always clear and intelligible. Near reference color accuracy right out of the box TCL's Filmmaker Mode in SDR offers stunning color accuracy straight from the factory. Right out of the box with zero adjustments it posted an average Delta E of 0.23 (with a max error of 0.94), well below the 'visible' 1.0 threshold. This means a full calibration isn't even necessary for most users. I measured a white-point error of 1.33 against a 6,000 K target, with the meter reading 5,988 K which is still excellent for a preset without any further calibration. Gamut coverage was excellent in Filmmaker Mode, covering over 99% of sRGB, and 83.2 percent of Adobe RGB. The 'Standard Mode' SDR preset on the other hand is a hot mess. Average Delta E leaps to 4.65 (peaks at 7.33) and the white-point shifts to an icy 7,945 K. Colors look blown out, skin tones skew blue and overall accuracy collapses, so swap to Filmmaker Mode immediately. Gamma tracks the 2.2 curve cleanly and the gray balance stays tight across the range, so Filmmaker Mode preserves shadow detail and highlight detail exceptionally well. I measured a native contrast ratio in SDR of 6,470 : 1, which contributes to the gorgeous picture on the QM8K. Overall the top-notch tone mapping, hyper accurate color, and fantastic contrast make this one of the best looking TV's I've ever tested. Performance in HDR was equally impressive, thanks to Dolby Vision modes and a substantial boost in contrast ratio. Bright is an understatement The brightness on the QM8K is nothing short of spectacular. The 85″ model we tested advertises a peak of 5,000 nits in HDR, which places it firmly among the brightest TVs on the market. I have to include a bit of a disclaimer here when it comes to testing brightness on the QM8K. I'm currently working with a Calibrite Display Pro HL, which is a wonderful little piece of machinery. However, it's only rated for brightness readings up to 3,000 nits, meaning that past that point, the sensor gets totally saturated and readings become less accurate. During testing, I was able to consistently achieve peak brightness readings of around 4,500 to 4,600 nits in a 4% window on my device, and because of the way these sensors respond to brightness levels beyond their max, it's likely that the reading is inaccurate on the low side. This makes it completely believable that the panel on the QM8K could achieve 5,000 nits under perfect testing conditions. For peak brightness in HDR while watching actual content, I tested a few different scenes and found that peak brightness readings averaged about 1,400 nits in the brightest spots. My gripe with reflections While the brightness of the QM8K impresses, the reflectivity of the screen was fairly high. The setup in my home has some windows facing the screen from across the room. While I understand these are bound to cause reflections when the sun is pouring in, I wasn't expecting that I would still see them even in the late evening hours with a setting sun and the blinds closed. Even a fairly dim lamp that usually sits in the dining room behind me has to be kept off to avoid reflections. Overall brightness in the room is not an issue, as the QM8K can more than hold its own in a sunlit room. But direct light sources throw substantial reflections. Outro The QM8K is TCL's boldest attempt yet at capturing market share in the premium TV segment and represents a leap forward in both technology and performance over previous models. TCL is coming for everyone's lunch and will compete on price in a way only TCL can. The 85″ model we tested retails for $3,799, and look for that price to come down as we get farther from launch and into the holiday season. QLED Mini-LED TVs are coming after OLED with a vengeance, offering higher brightness, excellent color accuracy, and continuing to push the boundaries on contrast ratios for LED panels. Last year, we were really impressed with the Sony Bravia 9, which was an excellent example of this overall trend. However, the Bravia 9 is not as bright or color accurate out of the box as the QM8K, and the 85″ version still retails for a cool $1,000 more than the QM8K. TCL's new premium flagship will be the TV to beat this year.

The 98-inch TCL QM7K just launched, is great for sports, and is over $1,000 off
There's news, and then there's great news. The news is that TCL recently released the QM7K TV. The great news is that its 98-inch version — if you follow You Asked you might heard about it a few days ago — is already hugely discounted. Just how hugely? Like a lot of things, it sort of depends on who you ask. If you go with TCL's suggested price of $5,000, it's $2,200 off, while if you go with Best Buy's standard price of $4,000, it's $1,200 off. Either way, this massive TV (with a massive discount) is marked down to $2,800 at the moment. Go check out this hot TV deal via one of the buttons below, but also be sure to keep reading to get an overview of what we've seen and experienced with this 2025 release. Why you should buy the 98-inch TCL QM7K If you've determined you have room for a 98-inch TV, what makes the QM7K special other than its recent launch? Color and power. Our TCL QM7K review will give you all the details, but this 4K QD-Mini LED TV displays with 'spot-on' color accuracy 'right out of the box' in Filmmaker Mode that truly doesn't need to be calibrated to be enjoyed. It's plenty bright as well, refreshes at 144Hz, and has the recently new (but now expected) automatic low latency gaming mode. But will it be games that you'll be using your QM7K for? Our recent 'You Asked' episode about 98-inch TVs for sports featured the QM7K heavily. Here's the key excerpt: It's got the features you look for in a premium TV from top to bottom, supporting all the video and audio formats you could ask for like Dolby Vision, Dolby Atmos and DTS. And notably for sports, it has excellent SDR brightness and does a great job upscaling low bitrate content, like sports. This offer that saves you $2,200 off of TCL's new $5,000 98-inch TV (making it just $2,800) won't last forever as it's an introductory offer.
