QM8K: TCL’s Flagship QD-Mini LED TV Sets a New Standard

The centerpiece of TCL’s 2025 lineup is the QM8K, the next-generation successor to the critically acclaimed QM851G. Part of TCL’s Precise Dimming Series, the QM8K is a statement piece that merges state-of-the-art display technology with elegant industrial design.

CrystGlow WHVA Panel with ZeroBorder

The QM8K is the first TV to feature TCL’s new CrystGlow WHVA Panel, which brings a 40% wider color viewing angle and virtually eliminates color distortion when viewing from off-center. Combined with TCL’s ZeroBorder design, the TV provides an ultra-premium edge-to-edge display experience with just a 3-4mm combined border and bezel—perfect for modern minimalist aesthetics.

Halo Control System and Stunning Picture Performance

The QM8K incorporates TCL’s enhanced Halo Control System, which includes:

• A Super High Energy LED Chip for enhanced brightness,
• A Super Condensed Micro Lens for focused light control,
• Micro OD (optical distance) technology to reduce halo and blooming effects, and
• A 23-bit Backlight Controller for fine-tuned brightness control over 65,000 levels.

Combined, these innovations deliver precise dimming (up to LD3800 zones), higher brightness (up to HDR5000 peak), and drastically improved gray scale and color accuracy.

Next-Level Color, Motion, and Gaming Features

TCL further refines its Quantum Dot technology with a new Color Optimization Algorithm, resulting in richer and more accurate color reproduction. The AiPQ Pro Processor ensures dynamic optimization of video content, and Zero-Delay Transient Response prevents motion blur during fast-moving scenes.

For gamers, the 144Hz native refresh rate and Game Accelerator 288 (enabling Variable Refresh Rates up to 288Hz) make the QM8K one of the most responsive gaming displays available. It also supports Dolby Vision IQ, HDR10+, IMAX Enhanced, and AMD FreeSync Premium Pro.

Bang & Olufsen Audio + New Design Elements

Audio performance gets a cinematic boost with Audio by Bang & Olufsen, featuring up-firing Dolby Atmos drivers. The newly designed TV cabinet is thinner and flatter, supporting both flush wall-mounting and pedestal placement. A backlit remote, hands-free voice control, and Google TV with a new GUI round out the smart features.

Smart Home Integrations

The TCL QM8K is designed to seamlessly integrate into your smart home ecosystem, offering compatibility with Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, and Apple HomeKit. Whether you prefer voice commands through Alexa, Google Assistant routines, or Apple's Home app automation, the QM8K works effortlessly across all three platforms—allowing you to control your TV, adjust settings, or even power it on and off using your preferred smart assistant. This level of cross-platform compatibility ensures the QM8K fits naturally into any smart home setup.
