Is the TCL QM8K good for gaming?

Yes. It has a 144Hz native panel, Game Accelerator 288, Auto Game Mode and low input lag, plus four HDMI ports. It is one of the better gaming LCDs at this size.

How does it compare with the previous QM8?

The QM8K adds more dimming zones, higher peak brightness and the Halo Control System for cleaner highlights. The panel and gaming features are similar, so the upgrade matters most for bright rooms and HDR.

Does it have wide viewing angles?

Not really. The picture holds up head-on but loses contrast and color when you sit far off to the side, so a centered sofa is best.

The TV, a stand with legs, a remote, batteries and a power cable. A wall mount and HDMI cables are not included.

Is Google TV easy to use?

Yes. Google TV organizes apps and recommendations well and supports Google Assistant, Alexa and Siri. Wi-Fi 6 and Ethernet keep streaming stable.

Should I add a soundbar?

Consider one. The Bang & Olufsen-tuned speakers handle dialogue and Atmos effects, but bass is limited for movies and music.

What reviewers say

Reviewers rate the QM8K as one of the brightest, most feature-packed Mini LED TVs for the money, with strong gaming specs and good dimming control. Most criticism centers on off-angle viewing, contrast in dark scenes and processing that is good rather than class-leading.
