TCL has unveiled its latest TV lineup. The new TVs are divided into two families: the Smart S Class and the QLED Q Class. This is a new approach for TCL in branding conventions with the budget-friendly S Class and higher-performance Q Class meant to provide better value compared to similarly priced sets from competitors like Samsung, LG, and Sony.
Notable among the offerings is the QM8 collection, which includes TCL’s largest Q Class TV to date—a massive 98″ model that promises an exceptional home theater experience. The QM8 series utilizes MiniLED Ultra technology with over 2,300 local dimming zones, delivering impressive picture quality. Other features include the TCL AIPQ Engine Gen3 powered by deep learning AI, built-in subwoofer, Wi-Fi 6 connectivity, and a height-adjustable pedestal stand.
