Parent context: Wait till you see oled bro 😎 cause even at the Dolby theater I can still see the limits of the contrast coming from a LG at home Reply: no offense but this is a goofy ass take. I only own oleds but even i can admit how fuckin near perfect this looks. and then you see how bright it gets too and its just clearly a better choice for 85-90% of users.
Mostly summed up as: More dimming zones. Better processor. DV2 coming.
I’m in the same boat as OP, and with QM8L’s feature set, I’m going QM8L.
So QM8L is SQD, and therefore has better color saturation, a better processor for upscaling, will get DV2, and has 4 hdmi 2.1 ports.
I have a QM8L 98' in a bright room and the picture is incredible!!

AI summary — not a quote
LG OLED TVs are widely considered the benchmark for picture quality in the home theater community, praised specifically for their perfect black levels and superior motion handling. They are frequently used as the primary display in high-end setups and are increasingly popular in smaller sizes (42" and 48") for PC gaming. While they are technically superior to most projectors and LCDs in contrast, some users find them lacking in peak brightness compared to modern Mini-LED alternatives.
Pros
- Industry-leading black levels and contrast
- Excellent motion handling with few reported issues
- Versatile sizing options ranging from 42" for desktop use to 83" for home theaters
- Strong compatibility with external hardware like Apple TV, Denon receivers, and Nvidia Shield
Cons
- Lower peak brightness compared to high-end Mini-LED TVs
- Internal hardware limitations, specifically slow 100mbps ethernet ports
- Occasional quality control issues leading to panel returns

I originally wanted an LG OLED but have zero regrets so far about the TCL.
I just got a Valerion and it’s a beast, almost as good as my LG OLED.
In terms of TVs, I’d skimp on size and go for an LG OLED.
The LG is probably the only one it fails to beat on picture.
Slightly better black levels on OLED, but much worse brightness as well.
