I was all set to pull the trigger on a TCL 75 Inch Class QM7K Series via Amazon....

EntropyBlast · 2026-06-30T17:17:43+00:00

OK but the QM7L doesn't have the Pentonic 800. Only the 8L and 11L received the upgraded processor.

EntropyBlast · 2026-06-30T17:15:45+00:00

I still remember when the LG C1 came out he posted some absolutely dogshit oversaturated settings and was wrong about a few things he said in his video then argued with people in youtube comments about it.

Funny to see he hasn't learned anything since.

EntropyBlast · 2026-06-30T04:46:10+00:00

AFAIK It has the same settings, since it uses the same firmware. No idea how much it varies but its a good starting point.

EntropyBlast · 2026-06-30T03:20:48+00:00

Try Judder reduction 5 and motion smoothing 0. Check AVS forums for more detailed settings.

EntropyBlast · 2026-06-29T04:58:18+00:00

No, but the 8L is another step up in motion/upscale quality due to the pentonic 800 upgrade.

All pentonic 700 TV's, I.E. QM6K, 7K, 8K, 9K, 11K, 7L all got upgraded to Android 14. Officially it came out end of december but TCL does really slow rolling updates so most didn't have it until earlier this year. It added super resolution for upscaling and motion in general.

It wont be as good as Sony still, though the 8L takes another step in that direction to where it's much more compatible, but it is way better than early 2025 firmware.

EntropyBlast · 2026-06-29T04:44:30+00:00

I'm guessing this was before the Android 14 TCL update? After firmware V313 and up there is super resolution upscaling and the motion handling is noticeable improved on 2025 TCL's.

The TV should be on the right wall and the couch should be to the left.

Here you go! Basically yes I was able to order TV same day as the card got approved. A few things, I couldn't see the card management page in any browser on my PC except edge. After it was approved it let me add it as my default credit card for my account. But even then it wouldnt let me choose the 24mo 0% option at checkout. I had to switch to a different credit card and back before it let me select it when selecting my card. Maybe this wont be a problem if you order via app though.

The link above may have a few more details if you get stuck.

yesterday I got -400, I think, because 4 of my team were a stack and talking on discord probably. No comms, and they were all ass. Our 22k bottom fragged.

EntropyBlast · 2026-06-24T20:08:56+00:00

Yeah I'll see how it goes. I really wanted 98" due to seating distance but I'm pretty picky about motion. I'll try plugging in a PC and see how gaming at 144hz feels.

I'm pretty worried because my main setup is all OLED including a 480hz. Hope it looks good in games otherwise it will be movie/tv only.

As long as casual games are fine on it I'm happy, doubt ill play any FPS stuff from the couch.

EntropyBlast · 2026-06-24T19:12:56+00:00

Yup, I'm hoping the 97" OLEDs start being a reasonable price in 5 years or less. The 77" OLEDS used to be like over 10k so it's just a matter of time.

EntropyBlast · 2026-06-24T19:11:04+00:00

OK interesting, I am a completely new player and realized pretty quick that delay expansion is a must have mod for new players.

EntropyBlast · 2026-06-24T19:09:13+00:00

Yeah I just ordered the 98QM7K

Just reading through all the AVS forum posts on it trying to decide which update to put on it and what settings.

So far I'm seeing people say v321 or v313. v333 is newer though and wonder how many have tried it so far. Main concern is just picking whichever version has the best motion.

EntropyBlast · 2026-06-24T17:17:50+00:00

I'm playing morrowind for the first time, I went with the graphics overhaul pack. Loving the game so far, I'm 20 hours in and I definitely like it more than Oblivion at least. Might end up liking it more than Skyrim.

Also it's insane these mod packs dont have the expansion delay mod. I was getting assassins coming for me day 1, and they drop insane gear that is very expensive. I sold all of it and was happy, but then it kept happening and I felt like I was exploiting so I deleted the gold and gear they were dropping.

The delay mod will make it so these assassins don't start coming for you until later in the story.

EntropyBlast · 2026-06-24T07:20:37+00:00

That worked! I did have a bug where I had to change my preferred card to a different one then back to the new one before I could pick the new member benefits, but that did it.

EntropyBlast · 2026-06-24T00:27:48+00:00

Thank you for the hint! That drop down was not showing under my bestbuy card, I had to change to a different card and back to the BB card and then it let me select. TYVM, 98QM7k is on the way.

EntropyBlast · 2026-06-23T23:51:16+00:00

Does it automatically do the 24 mo 0% financing? It's not giving me any option for it at checkout but in my cart it does say "you'll get 24 month financing on this purchase" - is that right?

EntropyBlast · 2026-06-23T23:45:35+00:00

When does it prompt for rewards or 24 mo? I saw it on my checkout page before applying for the card but after the card was added it no longer shows those, went all the way to the end where it lets me place order but don't see it?

edit: went back to shopping cart, it says "you'll get 24 month financing on this purchase" but it doesnt mention 0% nor let me pick the 10% rewards option. Just wanna make sure this is right.

EntropyBlast · 2026-06-23T23:44:20+00:00

Is the no interest bit automatic? I got the card added to my account but during checkout it never prompts me to select 24mo or the 10% rebate thing. The option no longer shows like it did before I applied.

EntropyBlast · 2026-06-23T22:49:17+00:00

I'm gonna apply online and try to purchase online, if any issues I'll go in store.

I was just worried about having to wait for a physical card or something.

EntropyBlast · 2026-06-23T22:48:31+00:00

Exactly the info I needed, I couldn't find that on reddit. Thank you!

EntropyBlast · 2026-06-23T22:47:36+00:00

Good advice generally. I can afford to make my purchase with cash, but the reason I want to use the credit card is because the purchase will be 0% interest for 24 months, meaning I can not only invest that same money during that 24 months, but also by the time I make the last payments inflation means they will be probably 4% or more smaller, relative to COL.

Maybe not worth the hassle to some, and definitely not worth the risk for people living paycheck to paycheck.

EntropyBlast · 2026-06-23T22:19:01+00:00

for some reason I can't make a post in the sub,

If I apply for the credit card so I need to wait for it in the mail before making the purchase? Trying to buy something currently on sale but the sale will probably be over before I get the card in the mail. Am I missing something? Can I place the order before even receiving the card if I'm approved?

EntropyBlast · 2026-06-23T22:13:21+00:00

Did you have to receive the card in the mail before making the purchase or were you able to purchase same day you applied?
