You can grab a 65-inch QM8K for just $1,000, a healthy 60 percent discount, with lower percentage markdowns on the larger sizes.Photograph: Parker HallPhotograph: Parker HallPhotograph: Parker HallChevronChevronTCLQM8K QLED$2,500 $1,500 (40% off) Best BuyOne of the QM8K's 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 it's 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 won't feel left out.Of course, the screen itself is also excellent, with vivid colors that have an excellent pop and a 5,000-nit max brightness that's extremely potent when turned all the way up. It's even good for some light gaming, with a 144-Hz refresh rate and dedicated gaming mode. With support for all the most popular HDR formats, including HDR10+ and Dolby Vision IQ, you'll never wonder if you could be seeing brighter whites or darker black levels.While several screen sizes are discounted, you'll find the largest markdown on the 65-inch model, with the price dropping from $2,500 to just $1,000 on Amazon, and Best Buy was honoring the deal but is sold out as I write this. If you've got room to spare, the larger models are discounted as well, with the 75-inch version coming down to $1,500, a 50 percent discount from the usual price. If you have a particularly large living room, there's a massive 98-inch offering, and it's currently $3,000, a big break from the typical $5,000 price tag.We're big fans of the TCL QM8K, but if you'd like to do a little more research, make sure to swing by the roundup of our favorite TVs, which includes several TCL models as well as more-premium offerings.CommentsBack to topTriangleBrad Bourque is a contributor for WIRED with a focus on computing hardware and peripherals.

The TCL QM8K has received a significant price reduction, presenting a compelling option for consumers seeking a high-performing midrange television. As of January 21, 2026, the 65-inch model is available for $1,000, a 60 percent discount from its original $2,500 price.

Contributing to the television’s appeal are its distinctive design elements, most notably the nearly bezel-less screen that creates a modern aesthetic, and its robust performance capabilities.

The display’s user interface, powered by Google TV, includes Chromecast and Airplay 2 support. The reviewer states that the TCL QM8K is one of their favorite midrange screens, and the current price cuts elevate it even further, allowing consumers to access a premium television experience at a more accessible cost.
