In the old days, if this was 75% off $8K that would go FP (if it was an $8K tv). And someone would post the all-important specs to support OP. Now we got multiple FP deals on plastic baggies.

Impressive black levels.
Also it's $2299 on TCL site.

I didn't even put $7,999 as MSRP on the post. Looks like Slickdeals pulled that from the Electronic Express page.
MSRP is a moving target on prior year model TVs. If you search Slickdeals for this specific model, you'll see that it was on "sale" at $3,500 last July.
The 2025 model (98QM7K) is priced at $3999 which is the most direct comparison.
They also have a new 2025 model 98QM6K that is mini LED as well but the 2024 98QM751G is still substantially better from everything I've read. The QM6K is disappointingly not bright for being mini LED. The 98QM6K is $2,300 as well.
98 QM8 is still $3,999 and not many retailers have it in stock. It might drop to $3k. You can get the Hisense 100U8K for $3k which is a step above the 98QM751G and probably more comparable to the QM8.
I am also concerned that prices aren't really going to drop on any TV but might go up with this ridiculous tariff war. I know stock that is already in the US isn't subject to a tariff but retailers aren't going to keep dropping prices much on 2024 models if the incoming 2025 models have a high tariff attached to them.

98QM7K is $4k. You'll be waiting until this time next year for it to get near $2k.

Depends on your use case. QM8 is better in bright spaces. Mine is going in my light controlled basement. I would not see a significant difference with the QM8 over the QM7 for my use.
You make it sound like the QM7 is garbage compartively, which is far from the truth. I would agree if you were comparing either the QM7 or QM8 to the Q6. There is a far bigger difference between the Q6 and QM7 than the QM7 to QM8.
Most any Mini-LED TV is a huge jump over an edge lit or full array backlight TV that 95% of consumers are used to.

All in all every category the QM8 is slightly better; but you actually get better viewing angle on the QM7, so something to think about there.
The 98" QM8 hit $2999 in either Dec or Jan at Bestbuy. I thought it would continue to drop in price but it went back up. 😩 I won't make the same mistake again.
Right. It's hard to say what the trend will be. I also considered the 2023 98R754 but it is still hanging around the price of the 98QM751G and it is not mini-LED. You might be able to find one at a local retailer cheaper though but there's nothing near me.

I have Qm751g and honestly I like it better than my LGB8 Oled from 2018 that I still have. First yes it is (the Qm751g) brighter, the colors are just as rich, blooming.... what blooming. I play Chorus on the Ps5. It is a space shooter with a lot of Star fields. What blooming?!. It isn't any worse than the LG woled make your eyes hurt and bleed over bright whites reflecting off of the woled screen. Which looks just like blooming even though it isn't. It's better. My eyes don't hurt after watching it for any signifigant amount of time (even though it is Much brighter) unlike the woled. My only complaint about the TCL is that I can't watch sports in game mode (through native apps) Let's be real the sports preset on almost every tv sucks, really, really bad. I have put both 55 inch tv's side by side for games, panasonic uhd blu-ray player, streaming native apps, using external streaming devices, and even cable. For under 500 for a 55 inch it is Literally fng crazy good. I don't even use the LGB8 anymore, I am giving it to a family member.As far as the reflections, yeah their are some, but they are not any worse than the old B8 and it's much brighter. I am dealing with Florida sun too people.
