Gonna return the TCL QM8 75 inch.

[rollerball]

And get the Samsung S89C 77 inch instead at $1999. Turns out the US version of the S89C is a QD-OLED and very close to the S90C in terms of performance.

Question is whether I'll get the 5 year burn-in coverage or not.

[OneLegSquats]

TCL is a poverty brand anyway. Equivalent to Poco phones, high spec but chit software, unreliable and terrible quality control.

[rollerball]

I sold TVs for a couple years and TCL is not a reliable brand brother, Samsung is a better choice. They had terrible burn in problems back in the day, but I wouldn't buy the protection nowadays.

Best quality TV brands:
1. Sony
2. LG
3 Samsung

I liked the TCL quite a bit but the performance compared to a QD-OLED still doesn't measure up really.

I'm not entirely sure about TCL QC but I do know that I've had pretty good experiences with Samsung warranty servicing whereas I've heard TCL customer service might possibly be lacking.

Yeah I didn't really want to spring for the extended warranty on it but it was in the back of my mind that TCL might have lesser QC.

If it ain't LG or Sony you're wasting your time and money. LOL at dropping $1200 on a TLC that's strictly meant for kids and guest bedrooms.

Grab a 72 LG C1 and call it a day buddy boyo. LOL at worried about burn in, had my CX on a static screen for hours and nothing. 3 years old now.

yes quantum oled is the best tv tech right now and only samsung has it

LG is inferior on that front.

But who was Sony?

[AWillis]

so you have used it and now want to return it?

oh, you are one of those buyers are you

You're a fukking retard.

[Akd123]

Nothing wrong with TCL. They get good reviews by experts and my 6 series s fine for what i paid. Rather spend the money on motorcycles and 4 wheelers

[rectifryer]

But who was Sony?

Samsung pioneered quantum color grids as well as oleds. Not sure why I'd assume sony has done better. Have they?

[JayJ350]

Lol @ people buying anything that isn't Samsung, LG, or Sony. Anything else is poverty brand.

[blazenbb]

Probably should return my u8k for that too

[rollerball]

So despite how the thread title might sound let me make it clear that I'm not returning the QM8 because I'm actually dissatisfied with its performance or quality, I still think it's a great TV for the price.

It had been previously erroneously reported that the S89C was an OLED instead of a QD-OLED but now that it's been shown that it's a QD-OLED the price is, imo, excellent for the size.

It's weird that the S90C exists with the S89C being so close in overall performance.

The S89C still hits 144hz at 4k, same brightness in HDR/SDR, same motion processing, same chassis, same gaming performance, same pretty much everything except a different stand and it's $500 cheaper currently.

Ya'll hating on TCL and Hisense at this point are stupid. Yes, they keep falling short in one area or another when compared to the big dogs but dismissing them like they are Westinghouse or something is just stupid. They are consistently winning Best Value TV awards now. Honda and Toyota were once laughed at. Not all budget brands remain trash.

Samsung pioneered quantum color grids as well as oleds. Not sure why I'd assume sony has done better. Have they?

They buy the Sammy panels and use better software and picture processing with them. A Sony QD-OLED is a better Sammy QD-OLED. I think the only benefit of going Sammy is if you need a bunch of 2.1 HDMI ports because Sony still only does 2.

I think its the QC that they need to address, as is the case with all mass produced Chyna brands. Poverty panel uniformity, glitchy, poorly thought out user interface, sketchy customer service. Just makes no sense when you could just save a bit longer and get an equally good panel which costs more but comes with that peace of mind that you're in safe hands, and the user community is much bigger too. If you have a question there's guaranteed to be a forum or subreddit for LG OLEDs for example.

[Coal Man]

Never buying a TV that's not LG ever again

[rollerball]

So I’m coping when I’ve spent over $5K on QD-OLEDs but still think TCL is a good brand?

Lol k.

Just FYI the TCLs, ime, have had the best uniformity of LCD screens. Also Tizen isn’t great imo.

Their customer service however doesn’t seem to be much.

TCL even in my country is uber cheap with great specs. But damn, Id be embarrassed to own one.

Imagine a girl going in and sees your TV with TCL branding. Lol.

Currently have 2 Sonys. Got Samsungs before as well.

Even worse, a TCL with a ps4 connected. It's over

Hey that’s a low blow. I almost bought a $3K rig but I spent it on a $3.5K drumset instead!

I do have a Series X, a PS4, Classic NES, Classic SNES, and a laptop with a 2070 RTX lol.

Fools, the lot of you. None of you have been going into the trenches like I have and actually bought and tried out these TVs.

TCL and Hisense are what Sony and Samsung used to be. Haven’t y’all picked up the business model these asians use? Remember when KIA and Hyundai were complete garbage but now are relatively decent cars for good money? Similar to what Toyota and Honda did?

I don’t give a fukk about the brand in terms of fashionable products to own if the performance is there for the price.

I would have kept the TCL if the S89C wasn’t such a good deal imo.

Most of this is dead on, but you hooking your PS4 up to any modern TV with HDMI 2.1 is damn near criminal. I am not even sure what to make of you anymore.

I will buy a PS2 and an s-video to hdmi adapter and hook that bad boy up to the new 77 inch QD-OLED.

Why? Because some men just want to watch the world burn.

You're the retard that dropped $1200 on a brand that's meant for the kid's and guest bedrooms. Now you're talking about getting a refund LMAOOOOOO.

I might not be a tech geek, but I did the research. LG or Sony for me, they're the best tvs easy.
