Today, TCL announced prices and availability for its new televisions led by MINI of the QM8K series. The latest models replace the QM851G Badge of last year, one of the best televisions that Techradar tested in 2024, and provides “up to 35% more of attenuation areas and even the company to the company.
The new televisions will be sold in screen sizes from 65 to 98 inches, with the models of 65 and 85 inches available now, and the models of 75 and 98 inches that arrive next month. The QM8K series price is as follows:
- 65 -inch QM8K: $ 2,299.99
- QM8K of 75 inches: $ 2,999.99
- 85 -inch QM8K: $ 3,799.99
- QM8K of 98 inches: $ 6,499.99
A key characteristic of the QM8K series is the new Crystglow Whva for TCL with Zeroborder. This new panel design has an anti -reflective coating to reduce the shining of the screen along with an ultra -wide viewing angle that TCL states that “it practically eliminates color change, with a 40% wider color visualization angle” than the QM851G series last year.
Zeroborder refers to the width of 3-4 mm avant-garde between the edge of the TV and the QM8K series screen, a design feature that TCL managed to use an aluminum alloy mold of a aerospace grade of a piece and a anodized ceramic film to stabilize the visualization panel.
Another QM8K feature is the TCL halo control system. This uses a new “Super High Energy” LED chip, along with a “condensed” super-condensed micro lens, 23-bit backlight controller and a dynamic light algorithm to improve color accuracy and reduce the “halo” artifacts of mini-lid-lid back background. Help in this sense is the largest number of local background attenuation zones in the QM8K series, with up to 3,500 in the 98 -inch model.
TCL QM8K televisions have a 144Hz and FREESYNC Preium Pro native update rate for games. They admit both the dynamic range formats
Google TV is used in the QM8K series as an intelligent TV platform, and presents an improved gui, hands -free voice control and an art mode with artificial intelligence art. QM8K series televisions also have an incorporated ATSC 3.0 tuner for Nextgen TV transmissions.
Ultra width viewing angle: a welcome addition
One of the greatest weaknesses of led and regular LED TVs is the uniformity outside the axis. This essentially means that both the contrast of the image and the colors change when they watch the TV from seats outside the center, so that a spectator sitting anywhere that is not directly in front of the screen will experience a reduced image quality.
When I reviewed the QM851G TCL, I discovered that its image quality was fantastic in general, with a main exception: uniformity outside the axis. To cite the “colors and contrast of QM851G decreased when they were seen from distant seats.” This was the key reason why I gave a 4.5 instead of a 5 -star rating for image quality, and it was the only point that prevented him from obtaining a complete support as a recommended television television for sports visualization.
The best OLED televisions do not suffer the same uniformity problem outside the axis, and some of the best televisions led by Mini also implement features to expand the visualization angle. TCL specifications for QM8K indicate that it will have a broader visualization angle, so I hope this new model provides a great improvement when it is a visualization outside the center.
Techradar will soon review the QM8K TCL, so we will have more to say about the matter shortly.
