Our take on the TCL QM8 QLED Mini-LED 4K 120Hz HDR Smart TVs w/ Google TV

The TCL QM8 is a 4K QLED television using mini-LED backlighting with high brightness and strong local dimming. It runs Google TV and supports 4K at 120Hz, making it a fit for movies, sports and console gaming. It sits above TCL's cheaper QM7 and Q-series sets and competes with mid-to-upper mini-LED models from Hisense and Samsung, offering more dimming zones and brightness than most rivals at its tier. Reviewers rate its picture and gaming features highly but note off-angle viewing and some motion quirks.
