TCL has unveiled a new generation of mini-LED and QLED “large screens” to hit the market in Spring 2023, in line with its belief that TVs of at least 65 inches are the future. However, given its CES 2023 debut, some consumers may be tempted to wait for something even bigger and bolder.
TCL promises that its flagship QM8 will have twice the peak brightness of its best Mini LED TVs by 2022. The largest QM8 will have over 2,300 dimming zones and will be available in screen sizes ranging from 65 to 98 inches. TCL claims that’s more than any other 4K Mini LED TV on the market — and even more than 8K models. The QM8 has Wi-Fi 6 and an integrated subwoofer for powerful audio. With a “bezel-less” design and a height-adjustable stand, the design has been refreshed.
TCL’s CES 2023 expo includes the “world’s highest PPI” (1700) Real RGB LCD-VR panel, which is joined by the 65-inch 8K “wide-view optical field display,” which is marketed as a potentially more comfortable alternative to “heavy” glasses.
Aside from its brighter picture, faster Wi-Fi, and louder sound, the QM8 will share many core features with the lower-priced Q7, though you’ll miss out on Mini LED and have to settle for regular full-array local dimming.
The QM7 supports AMD FreeSync Premium Pro and IMAX Enhance. Both the QM8 and Q7 come with a backlit voice remote, but they also have hands-free voice controls via integrated far-field microphones. Surprisingly, both of these models will run Google TV; TCL has yet to announce Roku TV versions. They both also support Dolby Vision IQ.
TCL claims that its Q7 panel, despite being a native 60Hz panel, can do the same trick as the higher models and double that in VRR, reaching up to 120Hz. It still has quantum dot colour and a similar design to the more expensive models. TCL will sell the Q6 in sizes ranging from 50 to 75 inches.
TCL’s Q-Series monitors will be available in the coming months, but don’t expect the company’s current monitors to disappear anytime soon. TCL has sold over 25 million TVs in the United States alone over the last four years, with its well-known Roku TV and Google TV models playing a significant role.
