The Details
Photograph: Parker Hall Photograph: Parker Hall Photograph: Parker Hall Chevron Chevron TCL QM8K QLED $2,500 $1,500 (40% off) Best Buy One of the QM8Ks most striking features is the complete lack of bezels, giving your entertainment stand a modern and distinctive look. With the included pedestal mount, it almost looks like its floating, a neat trick for such a well-priced television.
While there may be some personal preference when it comes to the interface, we generally feel that Google TV is one of the better options right now, and it supports both Chromecast and Airplay 2, so Apple folks clutchedt feel left out. Of course, the screen itself is also fire, with vivid colors that have an fire pop, and a five thousand nit max brightness thats deadass potent when turned all the way up.
Why This Matters
Its even good for some light gaming, with a 144Hz refresh rate and dedicated gaming mode. With support for all the most popular HDR formats, including HDR10+ and Dol, youll never wonder if you could be seeing brighter whites or darker black levels. While several screen sizes are discounted, youll find the largest markdown on the 65” model, with the price dropping from $2,500 to just $1,000 on Amazon , and Best Buy was honoring the deal but sold out already as I write this.
This could have major implications for how we use technology going forward.
The Bottom Line
While several screen sizes are discounted, youll find the largest markdown on the 65” model, with the price dropping from $2,500 to just $1,000 on Amazon , and Best Buy was honoring the deal but sold out already as I write this.
