TCL QM851G Final Review

[@princemensah3590]

Could you please re-review the Hisense U8N 65 inches this time and then compare it to the TCL if possible...? I would really appreciate that

[@lpromer4796]

Please Q! I want to know how they compare before I pull the trigger on Black Friday

[@MotoFlows]

He did, he hated the hisense u8n

[@princemensah3590]

@@MotoFlows yeah but I want him to review a bigger size

[@lpromer4796]

@@MotoFlows I know, but he reviewed the 55” which is different the bigger sizes

[@MURATTI77]

The Hisense is overhyped becuase or 1500nits but tcl has the better Contrast. Quantum was right with the Sony XH9505.. Brightness is good for a Local Shop for Demomodus. But for your Home less Contrast and high Brightness doesnt give you the best Picture Quality.

[@douglaslopez6178]

Thanks for this final review of the tcl 851G..I went out and bought one this past June...been very pleased with the picture quality..Will soon be signing up to your website to get your settings...Thanks Quantum!!

[@JoshRazauskas]

This year’s TCL QM8 really is very impressive for a QLED rather than a QDOLED! Looks like everyone who needed to get this TV got a pretty darn good deal! Some of the set up elements for my S90D arrived already today so maybe the entire order will arrive earlier than estimated. I am so beyond excited for everything to be here!

[@Abubaker42]

Quantum I think you should review the 75” U88N with the ADS Pro Panel, i am saying this only to help fellow consumers bought with my own money and after doing my research. I purchased it coming from a 65” Sony A80J (the kids smashed the screen) I can confirm that it’s a phenomenal TV and it is oled “like”. 3000 nits is more than I need I found myself reducing the brightness, the viewing angles are exceptional, blooming is present however I only noticed it once when using a legacy gaming console and blooming is something I personally cannot stand, with motion I did notice judder three times early on in panning scenes and I had it for a month. This is brotherly advice and a recommendation only do with it as you please.

[@djmycool]

I bought the 98inch QM8 2024 i cant wait to join and get your settings. You made my Sony 900E amazing with your settings years ago. Your awesome at what you do

BB in my town finally turned on the QM851 after being off for 10+ weeks . Your review here is exactly what I saw . A1 observations Quantum .

[@enzopied3015]

That opening scene honestly just showed how good the s95d is As someone who was thinking of getting the qm851, I may have to spend the extra and splurge on that

[@NBWDOUGHBOY]

That S95D Looks Insane! But the QM8 is absolutely no slouch. Especially for the Money.

[@gangs0846]

Thank you! Do you prefer this over a U8N?

[@alexperez1519]

Amazing work as always Quantum. I knew you would cook up something great for this particular tv.

[@kevinwatkins7202]

I am receiving my QM8 tomorrow. It doesn't help that we will be having a tropical storm but I'm still excited! Thanks Q!!

[@LoveHateVikes]

Got the 75 inch and it's fantastic! The hdr content is super clean. The upscaling isn't great, but it's satisfactory. The anti glare screen is also very good. No blooming and the color is beautiful. Thanks for the settings Q. I turned off the motion, but the color spectrum is spot on. Love this tv.

As others have said I hope you do the TCL QM7 55” next there aren’t allot of reviews on that model and I think it would make sense to go to the QM7 after doing the 2024 QM8

[@colinadam4971]

Great review as usual. Here in the UK we will not get the QM851G but the C855 which is supposed to be the equal to the 851G in specs. My question is would your purchased settings apply to the C855 in the UK. Thanks

[@Danny75k]

I think that using Special K or ReShade HDR shaders (like Lilium) will significantly improve HDR quality on the QM851G (and other Mini LED TVs) compared to the native HDR on consoles

[@dandelion4268]

Thanks man I'm just waiting for it to be released in Saudi Arabia 🔥🔥

[@turbojobo]

Can you please review the qm7 55? Theres no qm8 at that size

[@Oz-Jameson]

Hi Quantum, another great review, i am looking for a tv over 98" which tv would you recommend thanks

[@NBWDOUGHBOY]

It seems to me like the S95D just has a way better white point. Whites actually look white on it versus them looking Blue on the QM8. I wonder if there is a way to fix that at all?

[@Albrts]

What about 85/98 QM8 with 5000 dimming zones against 77 S95D?

[@Quantum_TV]

Still won't beat the color and black levels of the s90d

[@agosuusheitby4348]

Is TCL c855 the same thing as everything the TCL QM8 51G is?

[@MrHenriksan]

The QM851G panel is on the X955 in Europe C855 have QM751G panel

[@traceymalone]

@Quantum_TV , now that you have both, how about the QM851 vs. the (double the price) Sony Bravia 9? Let’s goooo!

[@DJMAZ514]

Isint the u8n better against the qm8 in the picture clarity and processing department

[@storytheshorty]

In the first s95d comparison you were much more critical of the QM8?

[@BIGBASSSAMA_4]

Are you using custom 2 & 20 point color settings?

[@bungalowtomcat1]

you could always try Playing KZbin Movie Trailers at 1080p That's Legal and we get to see different content Just a Thought Thanks

[@ericswanson9773]

TCL did a great job this year. Hope they continue to put out high-quality tvs for budget price. Your settings are amazing. I use them. I would recommend anyone to use them as well. S95D highlights definitely better, but $1500 more. It's hard to justify that amount of money for a little more you get. Stll like to see you have QM8 vs. Sony Bravia 9.

[@Notoriety77]

What would you say to the people that say the X90L beats the TCL QM8 in processing power? Does the X90L just not have all the features the TCL has to look this good in comparison?

[@YaBrefStank]

Can we get those audio settings in the members only section?

[@bretthaberle7229]

Thanks for the review. I am wishing for the TCL to go back on sale to get one. I missed last one buy a day since I was tempted by the qn90c sale. 😂

[@edbl5134]

Just got the 65 QM8, for $899 from best buy! I never thought it would go below $999 which i was going to buy it for, but when i saw it was another $100 off, i damn near broke my phone screen hitting the "add to cart" button! 😂 next monday can't cone fast enough! Using your settings i know i'll be in for a treat!

Thinking of getting this one. Not a big settings snob so i will probably go straight out the box because im not that technically savvy.

If you want so see what your tv can really do, you need better settings. It's there if you ever want to see it.

[@onebeautifuladventure]

Been researching a ton and it came down to QM8 vs Bravia 9. This “review” sealed the deal for me. QM8 It is! Do you have your calibration settings posted somewhere or can you let us know how you’ve calibrated your set values by chance?

[@rhsalce]

2024 QM8 or LG G3??

[@hemieed1]

Hi Q, You are going to find this hilarious. I was just at Best Buy in barbersville. West Virginia. The tv guy didn't know the difference between a wolead panel and a quantum qdoled panel until he looked it up and then seen that there were differences because he kept saying really all oleds. Also, I wanted to look at the s95d or the g4. So he was like we don't have them on display. So I was like, "witch one is the s90d? He was like we don't have that one on display Either. I was like, crapp. Because it takes me 1.5 hours o e way to get there.

[@Quantum_TV]

Damn that sucks

[@ChrisM-dv3es]

Hi what about 98 inch tcl tv

[@LEGOKRASS]

Thank you very much! Only thing you didn´t mention is the viewing angle perfomance. Reviewers say it is bad. What is your opinion on this? Is the viewing angle perfomance acceptable or not? I watch in a dark room and I sit very near, max 1 meter by 75 inches.

[@DrunkWaffle]

I ordered the TCL but it looks pretty washed/faded vs the Samsung here?

[@5000NATE]

You have to zone it in brother

[@TheMetzgah]

Question, would the highlight contrast be even better on the larger screen sizes? The sun on the clouds for example, since the larger sizes increase the amount of backlights while stretching out the same amount of pixels, you technically have a lot more control over smaller areas for highlights and contrast.

[@arungupta9140]

How much better would you say this is compared to the QM850G?

[@danielxd276]

Hey bro how are you, when will you start doing monitor reviews, to know which one is worth it? Greetings

[@traceymalone]

@Quantum_TV I’ve been rocking your settings for about a week now. Watching A Bugs Life 4k disc and it’s phenomenal. (PLUG for Q: y’all should become a member too) Anyhow, Since I bought the 75 2024 QM8 back on July 2 for $1469, I couldn’t be happier. I got a f’ing great deal! Since then, I’ve been on your channel tryin to tell ya that THIS is the one….even at full price, the cost to value ratio is great!! And super happy to see you are digging it too. Your reviews are honest, sometimes brutally honest, but that’s OK! Thx for the settings. Hoping you’re keeping the QM8 in your arsenal, AND keeping an eye on it as firmware updates release. Well done sir!!! P.s. yep…im a long time OLED owner…and the qm8 is a great non-OLED option.

Hey Quantum, guess who just got validated by the grand deity of your haters, D-Nice himself. On FOMO's 2024 live shootout just now, he straight-up said he prefers SDR over HDR. Check it out around the 49-minute mark. You should totally drop a casual line like, "As D-Nice and I both agree, SDR is the superior format compared to HDR," in one of your next videos. That’ll have your haters short-circuiting and you'll have the receipts to back it up.

[@eddrjames]

Hi Q, what are your thoughts on buying extended warranty (3+ years) for TCL...a must?

[@californiaballer]

@@eddrjames I can tell you my experience. Bought the 75” Mini-LED TCL TV in 2020 and since it was unproven back then, splurged on a 5 year Geek Squad protection plan @ BestBuy. Late July 2024 we turn TV to be greeted with a fireworks at the back of the set. The TV did not work since then. Called BestBuy and they sent service crew within a week to my home. Two guys showed up with collapsible table, took the TV off the wall and removed back panel. Power board blew up with signs of scorching and bulged capacitors. So they ordered new board and put TV back on the wall. 3 weeks later they called me and said board is backordered, so we are going to give you a replacement. So I called the number for product replacements @ Geek Squad and the guy over the phone ordered for me TCL 75” QM851G, free delivery, free reinstall, free haul away of the broken set and a brand new 5 year protection plan and I still got $2.14 back on my credit card. No taxes on the new set either since it’s an exchange. The original TCL back in 2020 costed me $1,800 + tax + installation + protection plan. The service plan and installation were cheaper at the time, but basically with this new QM851G @ $1,498 and the new 5 year plan I got all my money back from the original purchase, which was roughly $2,200 alltogether. That’s a steal of the century. So yeah, highly recommend getting the TV at BestBuy and buying a 5 year plan along with it. Anything beyond straight physical damage is covered. And the exchange policy is generous, essentially crediting you for all your original expenses. But only as long as you do exchange. If you ask money back (in the form of BestBuy credit), they only give you the actual cost of the original TV and any subsequent costs (taxes, installation, haul away, warranty) would be not covered and you would pay for them out of your pocket. So exchange is the way to go.

Does Samsung have the same burn in tech that LG does?

Samsung has better burn in prevention than lg with 0 image retention. It gen 3 qd oled makes it brighter without drawing more power

[@jameshastings6538]

@@Quantum_TVthanks! I’m deciding between a 85” Hisense U8N or the 77” Samsung S90D. Any recommendations? I’m thinking the bigger size. I was considering the TCL but went to Best Buy and it looked like the Hisense had better colors. And the TCL was over brightening the entire screen. Spec wise you would think the tcl would be better. My local Best Buy didn’t have a S90D on display. They had the LG C4 and B4 and Sony Bravia 8 which all three of those looked amazing. Bravia 8 and C4 seemed close and the B4 last.
