We gave this TCL TV a 9 out of 10, and it’s over $500 off today

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.

Best Buy is knocking $70 off this 50-inch 4K TV
Insignia F30 TV on a TV stand in a living room.

If you're on a tighter budget and want to grab yourself a nice big TV, then you'll be happy to know that Best Buy is running a special deal on its Insignia TVs that will let you grab a 50-inch one for pretty cheap. While you could go for some of the best TVs on the market, they often cost thousands of dollars and will likely have features you aren't likely to use. On the other hand, this 50-inch Insignia TV deal is going to cost you only $230 at Best Buy instead of the usual $300, so you get yourself a rather massive 4K TV for a very solid price.

Why you should buy the Insignia 50-inch F30 Series 4K TV
While this 50-inch Insignia F30 Series may be on the more budget-oriented side, that doesn't mean it's missing some important features, such as HDR10, which provides you with a lot better contrast than a traditional TV. You also get the higher 60Hz refresh rate, where you'd usually find 50Hz on more budget-friendly options, and it does mean that it's perfect for gaming on a PS5 or Xbox Series X or Series S since most games on those consoles tend to be locked at 4K at 60Hz anyway.

Grab this 65-inch Samsung 8K TV while it’s $600 off
The 2024 Samsung-QN800D Neo QLED 8K TV.

If you want your next purchase from TV deals to stay relevant for many years to come, you should consider going for the 65-inch Samsung QN800D Neo QLED 8K TV. It's currently on sale from Samsung with a $600 discount that brings its price down from $3,500 to $2,900. It's still pretty expensive, but that's actually an excellent price for an 8K TV. You're going to have to be quick if you're thinking about taking advantage of this offer though, as we're not sure how much time is remaining before you miss your chance at the savings.

Why you should buy the 65-inch Samsung QN800D Neo QLED 8K TV
The Samsung QN800D is the runner-up in our list of the best 8K TVs -- behind the Samsung QN900D. It's safe to say that Samsung has an early lead in this space, and it's easy to see why as the Samsung QN800D is simply "phenomenal." Its 65-inch display provides sharp details, amazing depth, and lifelike colors with its 8K resolution. Samsung's NQ8 AI Gen2 Processor, which is powered by 256 AI neutral networks, can upscale content to 8K quality. The 8K TV also offers AI Auto Game Mode that optimizes settings depending on the video game that you're playing, and AI Energy Mode that makes adjustments based on on-screen content and ambient lighting to reduce electricity usage.

Samsung's The Frame QLED 4K TV rarely appears in the TV deals at Best Buy, so you don't want to miss this chance at savings from the retailer's Samsung Savings Event.

There's also a bundle that combines the 65-inch Samsung The Frame QLED 4K TV with the Samsung HW-Q930D 9.1.4-channel soundbar, and that is $800 off, for a package price of $2,600 instead of $3,400. If you're interested in making either purchase, you better hurry as the sale ends on October 20, and there's no assurance that stocks will still be available by then.
