TCL Introduces the QM8K Precise Dimming QD-Mini LED TV
The Company's Cutting-Edge Crystglow WHVA Panel with ZeroBorder Sets New Standard for LCD Color Viewing Angle with Virtually Edge-to-Edge Images IRVINE, Calif., May 27, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- TCL®, one of the world's best-selling and leading consumer electronics companies, today announced the latest addition to its 2025 TV lineup - the QM8K. Successor to the award-winning QM851G, the QM8K introduces the company's own CrystGlow WHVA Panel with ZeroBorder. The QM8K will change the way consumers look at TV by combining new panel technology with the picture accuracy of its Halo Control System, stunning HDR impact from up to 35% more dimming zones and up to 65% higher peak brightness than previous series, and Audio by Bang & Olufsen for exceptional sound quality. "At TCL, we are focused on continual improvement and wanted to put pressure on the market, especially in screen sizes over 75-inches, and our Precise Dimming Series does exactly that," said Chris Hamdorf, Executive Vice President, TCL North America. "The QM8K represents the culmination of TCL's commitment to R&D and its performance delivers market-leading QD-Mini LED television technology, with a thin and elegant design that is worthy of its premium designation." Premium Design with Unmatched Performance Enhancing its next gen QD-Mini LED technology, the TCL QM8K is the first Precise Dimming Series model to incorporate the new CrystGlow WHVA Panel with ZeroBorder. The high contrast anti-reflective panel now offers an ultra-wide viewing angle that virtually eliminates color shift with a 40% wider color viewing angle than its predecessor, while ZeroBorder revolutionizes TV panel design. The combined width of a TV's bezel and border makes a significant impact on its visual appearance, and the TCL QM8K reduces that total width to just 3-4mm through special TV and panel materials and design. The QM8K sports a one-piece aerospace-grade aluminum alloy mold for high structural rigidity, anodized ceramic film for enhanced panel stability, and now small-scale LCD panel driver circuitry along the panel edges without creating any panel deformation or light leakage, to create a new fresh, premium look. The Halo Control System yields three key benefits including enhanced color accuracy, enhanced gray scale accuracy, as well as virtually no blooming, for more natural, stunning picture quality. The new system's Super High Energy LED Chip combines high brightness with increased light efficiency while a Super Condensed Micro Lens uses a narrower light path for more precise light control. Additionally, the new TCL Micro OD reduces optical distance between the backlight and diffuser plate, helping avoid light overlap for virtually no blooming or halo effect, to produce clear, sharp edges between bright whites and dark blacks. TCL's enhanced QD-Mini LED backlight technology works in conjunction with a high contrast WHVA Panel to block out more of the light when the LCD closes for a better dark state, providing up to five times better native contrast. Furthermore, enhanced QLED technology combines a new Color Optimization Algorithm with more vibrant Quantum Crystals for significantly improved color accuracy. Critical to achieve premium picture quality, processing also gets an upgrade in the TCL QM8K with Zero-Delay Transient Response for virtually no lag between the input signal and backlight response, preventing after-image blur and maximizing specular highlights. The Halo Control System also adds a Bi-Directional 23-bit Backlight Controller, allowing the finest granular control of over 65,000 levels of brightness for each LED so gray scale accuracy is elevated. In addition, the system includes a Dynamic Light Algorithm (DLA) that intelligently optimizes the incoming video to render SDR signals at near HDR level, for consistently pristine picture quality regardless of the content metadata. TCL has also added Audio by Bang & Olufsen, to match its more accurate picture with exceptional sound quality. Cosmetically, the QM8K is enhanced with a thinner, flatter cabinet design for truly flush wall mounting, and an elegant pedestal stand for those that want to place it on their home theater furniture. "With its unmatched combination of groundbreaking panel technology, enhanced picture accuracy, stunning HDR impact, and super-large TV value, the TCL QM8K is the new 'Ultimate Choice'," said Scott Ramirez, VP, Product Marketing and Development, Home Theater. "Once you see the ZeroBorder panel, you will never look at TV the same way again. Plus, with our new ultra-wide color viewing angle, the perfect seat is now anywhere in the room." TCL's QM8K series replaces the award-winning QM851G from 2024 and offers: Halo Control System – NEW Super High Energy LED Chip, Super Condensed Micro Lens, Micro OD, 23-bit Backlight Controller, Zero-Delay Transient Response, Dynamic Light Algorithm (DLA), High Contrast HVA Panel, Enhanced QLED & NEW Color Optimization Algorithm NEW CrystGlow WHVA Panel with ZeroBorder Anti-Reflective Panel Up to LD3800 Precise Dimming Up to HDR5000 Peak Brightness TCL AiPQ Pro Processor 144Hz Native Panel Refresh Rate Game Accelerator 288, for up to blistering fast 288 VRR NEW Filmmaker Mode Dolby Vision IQ & HDR10+ IMAX Enhanced & AMD FreeSync PP Certifications Audio by Bang & Olufsen, with Up-firing Dolby Atmos Drivers NEW Backlit Remote Dolby Atmos & DTS Virtual:X Hands-Free Voice Control (Far Field) NEW Art Mode, Art Gallery and AI Art Google TV with Enhanced TV GUI Nextgen TV (ATSC 3.0) NEW Thinner, Flatter, Cabinet with height adjustable pedestal stand (65"- 85") The new TCL QM8K is available at Best Buy in a 65" for $2,299.99 MSRP and 85" for $3,799.99 MSRP.

TCL's new Mini LED TV offers higher peak brightness and better contrast than earlier models
Engadget has been testing and reviewing consumer tech since 2004. Our stories may include affiliate links; if you buy something through a link, we may earn a commission. Read more about how we evaluate products. TCL just unveiled a new TV in its Precise Dimming Series. The QM7K is a Mini LED TV and a follow-up to the recently-released QM6K. It uses the company's Halo Control Technology Suite, which is kind of a catch-all name for a bunch of tweaks the company has made to the dimming and picture quality of its Mini LEDs. The company says the QM7K offers higher peak brightness than its predecessors and a new anti-reflective panel. TCL also promises 'enhanced color accuracy, gray scale accuracy' and 'virtually no blooming.' This is thanks to the company's Super High Energy LED Chip, which combines high brightness with increased light efficiency, and the Super Condensed Micro Lens, which uses a 'narrower light path for more precise' control. Additionally, newly-enhanced technology minimizes the optical distance between the backlight and the diffuser, which eliminates blooming, reduces the halo effect and avoids LED light overlap. The new features, in conjunction with the anti-reflective panel, create a picture with a better contrast and deeper blacks. On the software side of things, there's a new color optimization algorithm for improved accuracy. The Halo Control System also adds a bi-directional 23-bit backlight controller, which allows for granular control of over 65,000 levels of brightness for each and every LED. There's also a new algorithm that 'intelligently optimizes' incoming SDR signals at 'near HDR level.' The QM7K features Bang & Olfusen speakers and select sizes ship with a pedestal stand. Sizes range from 55-inches all the way up to 115-inches. Prices fluctuate from around $1,300 for the smallest one to a whopping $20,000 for the 115-inch monster. Traditional sizes are availright right now at retailers nationwide, with the large models coming soon. Some purchases come with a $500 Visa gift card, which is a nice bonus.
