Our take on the TCL 65 Inch Class QM8L Series SQD-Mini-LED QLED Smart TV 65QM8L 2026 Model

The TCL QM8L is a 65-inch 4K QLED TV built on SQD-Mini LED backlighting, with up to 4000+ dimming zones and up to 6,000 nits of peak brightness. It pairs a 7000:1 static contrast ratio and TCL's Ultra Color Filter with AI picture and sound processing, Google Gemini voice interaction, and audio tuned by Bang & Olufsen. This is a set aimed at bright rooms, big-screen sports and movies, and console gaming, where its zone count and brightness put it in flagship Mini LED territory against rivals like Hisense's U8 line and Samsung's Neo QLED sets. The trade-offs are typical of the class: a bright, aggressive picture that can bloom around small highlights, and smart features that lean heavily on AI processing.
