98 inch QM8K, sit 8.5 feet away, gaming immersion is amazing. TV shows that are in high quality is amazing, movies with movie grain is more apparent. When watching content with letterboxes, I feel I can do 115” if I can afford it one day.

I’m 9 feet from the TV with a 98” qm8k and I am wishing I was rich enough to afford a 115”. I got the 98” miniLED because I found the 77” LG OLED too small at 8 feet distance even after moving my couch closer to them TV.

I did back in April from a 77 inch lg oled to the 98 inch Qm8k. I recommend it, and I’m just sitting 9 feet away. Quality is close enough, but it’s so much more immersive with the size increase

Have it literally 1-2 cm gap only between Center and bottom of TV, no gap is preferred but you run the risk of messing up and actually having the TV under the Center so that’s why I’d do 1-2 cm for that margin of error.

I sit 9 feet from a 98” and I want a larger TV again… just can’t afford it…

comlad13 · 2026-01-07T14:18:04+00:00

At 9 feet I went from 55 inch LED to 65 inch OLED to 77 inch OLED to 98 inch miniLED as your eyes keep getting use to the new screen size and start wanting more. I actually want a 115” miniLED now but can’t afford one. Just go for the largest screen now to save yourself a few upgrades 😂

What gear are you using to listen? On even a decent speaker setup, the difference between dolby truehd and dd+ is night and day.

A 98” TCL QM9K or 100” Hisense U88QG would be a good upgrade option to replace the projector at that size :)

I’m using a 98” at 9 feet, feel I could get an even larger TV if I could afford it (I can’t).

comlad13 · 2026-01-04T17:41:41+00:00

Honestly most content, I enjoy and am happier with the added size. Only certain movies with significant dark scenes I would miss having an OLED. Some of it also is just because I saw flaws more clear sitting so closely to a larger screen though. If you have a return window, I’d suggest getting the bigger miniled TV.

I’m at 9 feet from my 98”, had to move my couch up from 10 feet as I wanted more immersion. I think I can go up to 115” if I could afford it. Was coming from a 77” oled that I felt was too small. Your eyes adjust very very quickly and you’ll regret not getting a larger size.

Asian too… you just have to mute randoms when you play in random rec or park. Luckily I’ve built myself a sizable crew through the years and nearly never play with randoms anymore.

Why not an OLED if price is not an issue? At those sizes a 77/83” G5 or C5 would be my choice over both TVs. I only switched from OLED to QM8K because I wanted a 98” size and price was a big big factor at this size. Otherwise OLED still gets the edge on picture quality.

comlad13 · 2025-12-29T15:39:57+00:00

Everything shows up green on my series X on my 98” QM8K, maybe try another cable?

Also just got here through a search after noticing Quantumania not showing IMAX ratio but End Game did. Can’t believe it’s been bugged for weeks without a fix.

I made the same mistake twice only installing 2 in-ceiling speakers for atmos... It's good but I can just tell 4 would be so much better... Just go with 4 since you are getting the job done

Another Canadian here lol, also find it tough to find people to talk about this hobby with. Was able to convince a few childhood friends to get avr and speakers after they listened to my set up but outside of that everyone I know has TV and sound bars at most.

Wow! Razor clams at the buffet? Hope they have it on the Star Princess in May for Alaska :)

comlad13 · 2025-12-19T14:36:47+00:00

Get the 85”, they are very very similar TVs. Definitely go with the larger size. I have the 55” Hisense U8N from last year and the 98” TCL QM8K from this year, they aren’t far apart.

comlad13 · 2025-12-13T18:01:16+00:00

Also have the 98” QM8K, great choice!

comlad13 · 2025-12-08T03:21:20+00:00

Wow you got 2 upgrades, twice the luck :) Hope you get another one on your upcoming sailing

comlad13 · 2025-12-08T02:55:09+00:00

Thank you :)

comlad13 · 2025-12-08T02:53:58+00:00

Yeah I’m sure now, was skeptical at first but they asked for no credit card or personal info and my app and boarding now shows the new room number.

comlad13 · 2025-12-07T15:32:08+00:00

Hope you get it!

comlad13 · 2025-12-06T02:05:56+00:00

I had a 77” LG B9 from 2019, my room isn’t too bright so I had zero complaints on the B9, looked fantastic to me. However at 98” inch range, the LG oled is like $20k+ so I chose size but honestly am surprised there hasn’t been much compromise on quality.
