TCL QM8

The TCL QM8 Series is a force to be reckoned with in the world of LED-LCD TVs. We had the opportunity to test the 2023 version of this mini-LED QLED, and we were blown away by everything from its brightness and color performance to its motion clarity and smart features. As one of TCL’s top models, it can be hard to find the QM8 Series for a steal, especially when you’re looking at larger sizes. That being said, we did come across this great offer while looking through Best Buy deals:

For a limited time, you’ll be able to order the TCL 85-inch QM8 Series (2024) for $2,473. At full price, this TV costs $3,000, so you’ll be saving $527.

Why you should buy the TCL 85-inch QM8 Series

When you’re dealing with any TV that’s bigger than 55 inches, you’ll want to make sure it’s the kind of set that prioritizes picture quality. Cheaply made sets may cost less at the store but can introduce headaches like pixellation, ghosting, light bloom, and dirty screen effects that muck up the final picture. The TCL QM8 is considered a premium model, and we know from experience that TCL puts a ton of focus on picture processing and upscaling.

The QM8 uses mini-LED backlighting to deliver a bright and detailed picture with minimal blooming, and the TV’s quantum dots help to enhance overall color brightness and the color gamut as a whole. The TV has a 120Hz refresh rate and four HDMI 2.1 ports, making it ideal for PS5 and Xbox Series X/S consoles. The QM8 supports 4K/144Hz gaming (in some cases) and even 1080p/240Hz, too. You’ll also get VRR and ALLM support.

As far as streaming and screen mirroring goes, the TCL QM8 uses Google TV for its smart platform and UI elements. Not only will you have access to thousands of movies and TV shows via apps like Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, and Disney+, but you’ll also be able to beam content using Chromecast and AirPlay 2 wirelessly.

We’re not sure how long this discount will hang around, so now could be the best time to save. Take $527 off the price of the TCL 85-inch QM8 Series when you order through Best Buy. We also recommend taking a look at some of the other TCL TV deals we found this week.

Samsung’s surprisingly cheap 98-inch TV just got even cheaper
The Samsung Q80C placed in a living room on a TV stand.

Samsung has a penchant for finding its way into our best TV roundups, and for plenty of good reasons. Responsible for a number of leading LED-LCDs, QLEDs, and QD-OLED TVs, Samsung TVs get better every year, and every time a new model is released, an old set usually goes on clearance. Right now, though, you’ll still be able to get your hands on several Samsung 2023 models, and we found a terrific offer on a big ole’ QLED:

Right now, you’ll be able to purchase the Samsung 98-inch Q80C at Best Buy for $5,000. Normally, this model is priced at $7,000, so you can put that $200 you saved toward one of the best soundbar deals we found this week!

The Sony Bravia X93L, a “lower-cost luxury” TV, is $1,000 off
The Sony Bravia XR X93L 4K Google TV hanging over a media center in a living room.

If you want to upgrade your home theater setup with a massive display, you won't find any shortage of TV deals out there, but you're going to want to consider the 85-inch Sony Bravia XR X93L 4K TV. With a rating of 4 out of 5 stars in our review, it's on the level of premium TVs but at a relatively more affordable price, especially following Best Buy's $1,000 discount for it. From its original price of $4,000, this huge luxury screen is down to $3,000 -- it's still not what you'd call cheap, but it's a bargain that you wouldn't want to miss.

Why you should buy the 85-inch Sony Bravia XR X93L 4K TV
In our review of the Sony Bravia X93L TV, we described it as a TV that provides "premium performance without the 'Sony tax,'" as you'll be getting amazing features at a more affordable price compared with the brand's other premium TVs. Sony is one of the best TV brands, but its TVs tend to be a bit more expensive -- that's not the case with the Sony Bravia XR X93L 4K TV, which we think is a lower-cost luxury TV. You'll get 4K Ultra HD resolution, and support for Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos, for a cinematic experience. We highly recommend checking out our guide on what size TV to buy though, just to make sure that you have enough space for its 85-inch screen.

A 55-inch Samsung The Frame 4K TV hangs on a wall in a dining room.

While you can wirelessly beam family photos, videos, music, and other media from your phone or tablet to just about any TV, some TVs are specially designed for a job like this. In Samsung’s case, this is a lifestyle-friendly QLED TV known as The Frame. Available in several sizes, The Frame is designed to look like a painting or artistic photograph, thanks to its clever matte backdrop and a few other features.

For a limited time, you’ll be able to purchase Samsung’s 85-inch The Frame for $3,800 when you order through the manufacturer. This is a significant discount from its full price of $4,300, making it a great opportunity for those who appreciate high-quality TV tech and art. And it's just one of many TV deals we dug up this week!
