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.
