Probably thinking $900 Hisense 85U65QF on Amazon. But I personally trust TCL longevity more.

Hisense 85QD7QF is $800 on Amazon.

It's scary to think about how much an 85" OLED TV would cost.

What does it mean when it says Motion Rate 240 but refresh rate is 60hz?

It means it's 60hz refresh rate with software that makes it look smoother. "Motion Rate" is a marketing term made by Samsung, I believe they add fake frames and use backlight scanning. Probably not the best for sports or video games.

83 inch OLED can be anywhere from 1600-2000 if you buy LG B5

How's Google TV on TVs these days? I have one older Android TV and I hate it. Have they improved the boot time and responsiveness on these new Google TVs?

It's limited to 60hz input but the panel itself can display higher fps. So the hardware inside interpolates the frames adding additional frames in between the 60 fps. If I had to guess it interpolates to 120hz and can add a black frame between those giving an effective motion rate of 240hz.

The TCL QM5K is an entry-level Mini LED TV released in 2025 that's exclusive to Best Buy. It's meant as a cheaper alternative to the TCL QM6K, with similar picture quality but fewer gaming features. It's limited to a 60Hz refresh rate at the native 4k resolution, but if you drop down to 1080p or 1440p, it goes up to 144Hz, making it a great choice for budget-conscious PC and console gamers alike. It also supports VRR to help reduce screen tearing. It supports both Dolby Vision HDR and HDR10+ formats and runs version 12 of the popular Google TV smart interface. We bought and tested the 75-inch version, but it's also available in 50, 55, 65, and 85-inch options.
