The QM8L is one of the few 2026 TVs on sale ahead of Prime Day. 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.

In our TCL QM8L review, we said the TCL QM8L largely delivers on the hype. Everything from color range, black levels, brightness, and shadow/highlight detail are near the top of the field — with no sign of "blooming" halos on dark screens.

Image quality from the QM8L is generally excellent. Deep blacks and wide dynamic range are undisputed strengths. Although this TV isn't meant to be an "OLED killer," it does come pretty close. Additionally, its elegant, local-dimming white LED technology achieves far higher brightness levels than OLEDs. That huge brightness range can help blacks appear deeper than they actually are and achieve impressive high dynamic range.

On the connectivity front, you get four HDMI ports, all supporting the 2.1 standard that allows input up to 4K at 144Hz (the panel's max refresh rate). Paired with the 9.5ms input lag (one of the fastest we've measured), and you have a cutting-edge gaming screen.

Multiple sizes of this TV are currently on sale, including the 75-inch QM8L which is $1,999 ($1,000 off). If you want one of the best TVs out there, this deal is for you.
