Our take on the TCL 98" Class QM8L Series 4K UHD HDR SQD-Mini LED Smart TV with Google TV (2026)

The TCL QM8L is a 98-inch 4K Google TV using SQD-Mini LED backlighting, which pairs quantum dots with mini LEDs for high brightness and wide color. It carries four HDMI ports, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and Ethernet, plus an anti-glare screen that matters on a panel this large. It suits a big, bright living room or a dedicated media room where a projector would otherwise go. Against rival 98-inch sets it leans on brightness and size for the money, but it is a two-person, wall-anchored install and its upscaling of low-quality cable and streamed content is the usual weak spot for panels this size.

Questions and answers

Is the TCL QM8L good for a bright living room?
Yes. Its SQD-Mini LED backlight is built for high brightness, and the anti-glare screen reduces washout from windows. It handles daytime sports and HDR movies better than most LCD rivals at this size.
How does it compare with TCL's QM8 and QM7 sets?
The QM8L is the large-screen mini LED line, so it trades the QM7's lower brightness for more dimming zones and better HDR. Against the QM8, expect similar picture quality in a 98-inch size rather than a big step up.
Does it support 4K at 120Hz for gaming?
It has four HDMI ports and TCL's game features, including low-latency mode and variable refresh rate on supported inputs. Check the specific port labels, since not every HDMI input carries the full gaming feature set.
Can I mount it on a wall?
Yes, but use a heavy-duty mount rated well above the TV's weight and anchor it into studs. At this size, professional installation is worth considering.
What is in the box?
The TV, a stand, a remote, batteries and a power cable. A wall mount and HDMI cables are not included.
Does it work with Siri and Google Assistant?
Google Assistant is built into Google TV for voice search and control. Siri and AirPlay support come through Apple devices on the same network, so iPhone users can cast and use voice commands.
