TCL’s QM8L Is the Best TV I’ve Tested in 2026

TCL’s 2026 QM8L review says the TV delivers major gains in brightness, color, and overall picture quality over its predecessor.

Its SQD-Mini LED and Halo Control systems help it achieve exceptional brightness, earning a Labs Award for Brightest TV Screen.

The QM8L outperforms most LED rivals and stands out as a top value pick for 2026, especially for brightness and gaming.

Still, OLED models such as the LG C6 OLED, LG G6, and Samsung S95H can offer better contrast at similar prices.
