The updated Mini LED panel uses improved backlighting and micro-lenses to prevent blooming and “halo” effects in dark scenes. It has a 144Hz refresh rate for smoother motion while streaming movies and shows, live sports, and console gaming. And speaking of console gaming, the TCL QM8 supports game accelerator VRR technology to boost the refresh rate as high as 288Hz to help prevent screen tearing and stuttering during online matches and solo offline play.

Support for Dolby Vision HDR means you’ll get enhanced detailing, darker contrast, and bolder colors that make everything from the latest blockbuster films to retro sitcoms look their best. A peak brightness of 5,000 nits means you’ll get great visibility in bright rooms, sunlight, and harsh overhead lighting. And to perfectly complement the TCL QM8 picture quality, the integrated speakers are designed by Bang & Olufsen to deliver rich, clean sound that’s enhanced by Dolby Atmos virtual 3D audio processing.
