The TCL QM8L mini-LED TV delivers a high-end, flagship-style experience featuring impressive brightness and advanced gaming capabilities, though it faces minor challenges with out-of-the-box color accuracy.

Key Points

  • The TCL QM8L series launched in April 2026 with sizes ranging from 65 to 98 inches.
  • It utilizes SQD-Mini LED panel technology with up to 4,000 local dimming zones and 6,000 nits of peak brightness.
  • Gaming features include four HDMI 2.1 ports, 144Hz refresh rates, and a 9.5ms latency.
  • The TV integrates Google Gemini for hands-free voice control and runs on the Google TV platform.

Why it Matters
