TCL QM8K Flagship TV has officially arrived in the U.S., bringing with it a bold leap into premium home entertainment. Marketed as TCL’s most advanced TV to date, the QM8K is the stateside version of the C8K series already rolled out across Europe and Australia. Packed with next-gen features such as QD-Mini LED backlighting, the striking ZeroBorder design, and TCL’s proprietary CrystGlow technology, the set delivers ultra-wide viewing angles with up to 40% less color distortion. At the core of its picture refinement is a new Wide Horizontal Viewing Architecture (WHVA), paired with the enhanced Halo Control System and Micro OD tech—ensuring tighter contrast, reduced blooming, and deeper blacks for an ultra-immersive viewing experience.
Designed for tech enthusiasts and serious gamers alike, the TCL QM8K Flagship TV is powered by a 144Hz native refresh rate and Game Accelerator 288 mode, pushing 288Hz at 1080p for silky-smooth motion rendering. TCL also teams up with Bang & Olufsen to fine-tune the TV’s up-firing speakers, while support for Dolby Atmos FlexConnect delivers flexible, high-fidelity audio. This flagship model runs on Google TV OS with built-in support for voice control, AI-powered enhancements via the AiPQ Pro processor, and AMD FreeSync Premium Pro for ultra-responsive gameplay. TCL’s aggressive vertical integration and partnerships with premium brands clearly signal a strategic shift to challenge dominant players in the high-end market, such as Samsung and LG.
With prices starting at $2,299.99 for the 65-inch model and scaling up to $6,499.99 for the massive 98-inch version, the TCL QM8K Flagship TV offers a compelling combination of performance and value.
