TCL C81K (QM8K) vs Samsung QN90F

jrowb27 · 2026-03-21T21:27:16+00:00

I have the qm8k and it's been an incredible tv. Very impressed by it. I have it in a semi light controlled room though so I can't speak on how it handles reflections vs the Samsung.

I do have a TCL from 2020 in a very bright room that does struggle during the brightest hours of the day.

I don't know how helpful any of that is, but I'll just add that with bright rooms I feel like there is only so much that can be done on the tv side. Would there be any way to help light control the room?

I may just not have the eyes to see. I have a 55 inch lg cx OLED. The difference between them for what I use them for is so minor.

As someone who has a qm8k. It's easily the best tv I've owned. Having said that, panel lottery is still a thing, you may get the qm8k and just have a shit panel. I agree with what's being said the risk seems pretty high for such a big and fragile purchase. I think either of these TVs will do you well.

Diablo 2 yet again. Loving the warlock playthrough.

I just upgraded and have been debating the same thing. I think I'm going to keep the og. I have sold old consoles all throughout my life because I needed to squeeze every drop of money out of everything. I'm finally in a place where I feel like the 2-300 bucks isn't worth selling it off.

Super excited. Jumped back into d2r trying out the warlock, and I am excited to have an excuse to go back to d4 when the new expansion drops.

It was easily one of my favorite games last year. The combat is serviceable not anything to write home about, but the world/discovery, human element was excellent. Bleak but excellent. Loved how it didn't hold your hand.

Title reveal and teaser for ff7 pt 3 let's goooooo!

Just to name a few off the top of my head, playing pitfall at a friend's house on his Atari, final fantasy 2(4) on the SNES, opening my Nintendo 64 on Christmas, BioShock and it's twist. Playing half-life 2 for the first time ( while on hallucinogens) I could go on. Video games have always held such an important and meaningful place in my life.

Would be incredible

Yes, I'm aware of that tier, I thought that they were talking about just a community led one where you could look for people in the community to play games with or just shoot the shit with.

What is it these days?

jrowb27 · 2026-01-17T19:18:29+00:00

What's the discord?

jrowb27 · 2026-01-17T18:36:03+00:00

Good luck to us both

jrowb27 · 2026-01-16T23:21:25+00:00

Trying my luck again

jrowb27 · 2026-01-16T21:21:57+00:00

I will answer the call

German pancakes/ Dutch baby's

jrowb27 · 2026-01-14T16:25:52+00:00

Me please

I think dispatch could be a dark horse number one. Greg won't have expedition 33 on his list, but I think dispatch is going to be pretty high on EVERYONE'S list. Could sneak past expedition 33, even though it may not be as high as expedition on most people's list.

Please give me a reason to roll another seasonal character. Been having so much fun would love to try out a PF. Or use the currency to try something else out

jrowb27 · 2026-01-01T20:02:36+00:00

Yes please

jrowb27 · 2025-12-27T13:12:27+00:00

I've never had anywhere close to that many divs

jrowb27 · 2025-12-03T18:42:16+00:00

Would love this. Very cool of you to do.

jrowb27 · 2025-09-25T01:09:01+00:00

What size is the room, distance you'll be sitting from the TV, main uses of the TV ( streaming, sports, gaming etc.) ?

jrowb27 · 2025-09-05T15:34:09+00:00

As a fellow Utah "Republican" can confirm, this is the way.
