The first wave of 4th of July sales are here and if you're looking to upgrade your TV, now is a great time. Best Buy is taking up to $5,000 off TCL's newest line of premium TVs.

For example, right now Best Buy has TCL SQD Mini-LED and RGB Mini-LED 4K TVs on sale from $999. One of the models on sale is the new TCL QM8L. We tested the TCL QM8L and found it delivers bright, captivating color. In our TCL QM8L review we said it largely delivers on the hype offering color range, black levels, brightness, and shadow and highlight detail that are near the top of the field. Plus, we noticed no signs of "blooming" halos on dark screens. Here are the deals you can right now.

We expect the QM7L to be a popular choice for A/V enthusiasts on the hunt for a good deal. It costs less than its QM8L counterpart and it's also available in a smaller, 55-inch screen size. It relies on TCL's SQD (Super Quantum Dot) technology to deliver the most colorful experience possible.

The QM8L is a new 2026 TV from TCL. It's a fantastic way to experience TCL's SQD Mini-LED technology for much less than what you'll spend on a higher-end model. We recently awarded this TV a 4-star rating in our TCL QM8L review for its sensational contrast, its thorough collection of features and, of course, its eye-popping color, the latter of which is made possible by TCL's intriguing new display technology.

The RM9L is TCL's top-tier RGB Mini-LED TV. It features the same UltraColor Filter found on the TCL X11L, which gives it a hefty leg up with enhanced accuracy and contrast, as well as diminished blooming. It's available in 85-, 98-, and 115-inch screen sizes.
