A 98-inch TV won't be on everyone's shopping list this Prime Day and despite a staggering $2,000 off – that's a 40% discount – $2,998 is still a lot of money for a TV.

We haven't published our review of the TCL QM8K just yet, but I got to see the European equivalent 98-inch TCL C8K, in-person and first impressions were generally positive.

During that testing, I found that the C8K delivered seriously vibrant colors and superb brightness that gave movies such as Wicked a dynamic look. I also was impressed by its contrast-rich picture, with dark and light tones balancing really well with very few instances of backlight blooming: impressive for a mini-LED TV with that many local dimming zones.

Admittedly, it wasn't all perfect as textures could have been better and its high brightness got carried away sometimes, but it was still an impressive TV.

So why is this deal on the QM8K so good? At $4,999 / £4,799, I thought the C8K was still one of the more fairly priced 98-inch TVs for the performance it delivered. Knock $2,000 off the US version QM8K and you have a really good deal on your hands.
