@@TechSteve What are your thoughts as far as the QM7 vs the Hisense 8 series that you reviewed.

[@StromBugSlayer]

Are you going to address the recent reports that TCL QLEDs like this one may not actually have QD screens? The reports came out before you published this video.

[@mikek5958]

@@StromBugSlayer The QLED TVs in question are the TCL C755, C655, and C655 Pro.

[@mainevent739]

Having a hard time deciding between the QM7 and QM8, so I’m happy to hear people loving the QM7

[@TechSteve]

@mainevent739 why the 8 is the upgrade

[@ericjohnson5990]

Just bought this today. Sound was definitely an upgrade from my last tv. Like it so far.

[@Gwrightproductions1]

Got it for $500 when it first dropped. Totally worth the buy!

[@ItsMeRhaine]

What size?

[@TJuice1986]

Buying this TV next month. Really excited!

[@1381russell]

Have 85” for about a month and loving it. I swear the 85” is not the standard panel. It looks great from the side. Motion on tough scenes could be better but I haven’t touched motion settings so maybe could be better

[@Mjaybird]

I agree with you on the Picture quality, great for movies with balanced whites and blacks. The audio is good and better then most TVs for the price but if you want better dialogue then get a soundbar

[@vyper1126]

I have the 55 in and its amazing

[@dloading5858]

Steve which is better money isn’t the issue, qm7 or q7 ?

[@Kryptic1046]

I have two TCL's hooked up together to a PC to form one giant merged display and the motion is one of the best things about them, especially in gaming. It's near-flawless. TCL is currently my favorite TV brand. I do wish they made the QM7 in a 50" size though.

[@wadanicabdi]

but why tcl tvs need calibration all the time and is that why they cheaper than the Sonys LGs and Samsung's of the world ?

[@TechSteve]

Nice setup

[@itwasntoptional2513]

@@wadanicabdi TCL is cheaper because they manufacture all of their parts in house. Everything inside and out of the TV is produced by them. Same can’t be said for everyone else

Thinking of getting this in 65in as my first 4k tv. Sounds like it performs really well on motion blurring due to legitimately high frequencies. The thing i hate most about tvs is motion blur/jutter like with my kdl-60ex70. Thinking this will be a nice upgrade.

@PattyBTX This is the 549$ 2024 mini qed version. The 499$ bestbuy is the TCL - 55" Class Q7 Q-Class QLED 4K HDR Smart TV with Google TV (2023). Unless you got some openbox or managers special its not the same and worth the extra 50 bones. Just make sure you have the right one. You have 30 day to exchange.

[@mikek5958]

Same here, $499 at Best Buy awesome deal. Just brought it home yesterday and set it up, hooked up my digital receiver, got familiar with the system, and working on calibration tonight/tomorrow. For some reason I can't get my PC to output 4K it should have auto detected but I'm thinking it's a graphics driver update that's needed; been a while.

[@KayJay940]

@mikek5958 i was just at bestbuy and the 499 one was not this. That was the Q7. Not Mini. The QM7 is $549. I assume you talking 55inch. Can you clarify where you got an extra 50 off if so. Thanks. If you got the wrong one you should swap for the qmy worth the extra. Got 30 days.

Only if the soundbar uses arc for CEC handshake or Bluetooth which isn’t the best for audio on TVs. Other words the TCL remote is Bluetooth and non. Programable like most newer TVs

Im a Sony guy, as they say once you go Bravia you never go back. But looking at one of these to pair with xbox in games room. I dont want to drop 2k on a sony oled or bravia 7 to get 120 refresh. And I also so rarely turn on my Sony soundbar for gaming as it too loud for rest of house. But this is suppose to have amazing speakers/sound for an out of box TV. I understand TCL is lower end /cheaper but if I cant go high end I would rather this than a midrange samsung which is all I could find in same price range with 120 refresh. And it was only qed not mini. 55inch specs.

[@paulcox2447]

It's going to get you 90% of the Sony for half the price .. Fomo has side by side with qm7 qm8 Bravia 7 and Bravia 9. They all look fairly close on real content just watching TV. The markup on Sony is insane and they are living off low sale volume, with a few dedicated fans paying whatever they ask to keep the tv division afloat

[@kjm0227]

In your opinion (or anyone who has experience with the QM7 tv in comments) I have the option for an open box “good condition” 65 inch A95L from Best Buy with some scratches and fingerpints (not major) on the screen but Best Buy turned it on for me and it doesn’t affect picture quality or performance while turned on and they’re giving $1,300 off full price….or for the same price I could get a QM7 85 inch brand new. Obviously A95L picture quality is way better but how decent is the QM7 in SDR cable? wondering if buying new and getting a 20 inches larger tv might outweigh the benefits of having a used A95L in somewhat dinged up condition?

TCLs don’t have a standard mode? With 80% of folks not changing modes and probably over 90% not tinkering with the settings, that would be a kamikaze move by TCL. The moment you switched to Movie even Brave got the dreaded tint which would make shows like Succession or Curb your Enthusiasm closer to The Last of Us.
