Our take on the 85" QM8L Series SQD-Mini LED 4K UHD HDR Smart TV

The TCL QM8L is a flagship 85-inch SQD-Mini LED 4K TV built for very bright rooms and big-screen movie nights. It pairs a rated 6,000-nit peak brightness with 4,000+ local dimming zones, 100% BT.2020 color and an anti-glare WHVA panel, so HDR highlights pop and blacks stay deep even with daylight in the room. Google TV with Google Assistant and Siri support, four HDMI ports and Wi-Fi/Ethernet cover streaming and consoles. Against rivals like Samsung's Neo QLED and Hisense's ULED X, it leans on raw brightness and dimming zone count rather than the slimmest design or the widest viewing angles; it suits buyers who want a huge, bright picture and accept a bulky set and a large wall.
