Know before you buy
The QM8 uses thousands of tiny LEDs and over 5,000 local dimming zones to provide much finer control over brightness and contrast. This results in deeper blacks and brighter highlights, significantly reducing the 'blooming' or light bleed often seen in standard LED displays.
Yes, it is well-equipped for gaming. It features a 120Hz native panel, Game Accelerator 240 for smoother motion, and Auto Game Mode (ALLM) to minimize input lag, ensuring a responsive experience for fast-paced titles.
The integrated ONKYO 2.1.2 speaker system is quite capable, featuring up-firing speakers and support for Dolby Atmos. While it provides a more immersive experience than most standard TV speakers, audiophiles may still prefer a dedicated surround sound system for a larger room.
Yes, the TV comes with Google TV built-in and supports both Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa. You can use hands-free voice commands to control the TV, search for content, or manage your smart home devices.
This TV requires a wall mount that supports a VESA pattern of 500mm x 400mm. Given the weight of the unit at approximately 72.8 lbs without the stand, ensure your mount is rated to handle this size and weight securely.
Yes, it offers comprehensive HDR support, including Dolby Vision, HDR 10+, HDR 10, and Hybrid Log-Gamma (HLG). This ensures you get the best possible picture quality regardless of the HDR format used by your streaming service or Blu-ray player.
