TCL - 75" Class QM8L Series 4K UHD HDR SQD-Mini LED Smart TV with Google TV (2026)

I recently bought the TCL 75" QM8L for my living room, and honestly, I'm pretty happy with it so far. My living room gets a lot of natural light, so having a TV that performs well in a bright room was really important to me. The picture quality is excellent, even during the daytime. Colors are vibrant, details are sharp, and watching 4K movies and TV shows looks fantastic. Gaming has also been a great experience. I mounted the TV on the wall using a VESA-compatible mount, and it looks amazing. It saves a lot of space and gives my living room that clean, modern, minimalist look I was going for. Even at 75 inches, it fits nicely without making the room feel cluttered. The initial setup was surprisingly easy. Connecting to the internet and setting up all my streaming apps went smoothly without any issues. Google TV is fast and responsive, and I haven't noticed any lag while navigating menus or switching between apps. The Gemini AI features are a nice bonus, too. I also really like the remote. It's simple, intuitive, and responds quickly. The dedicated shortcut buttons are definitely helpful, especially when you just want to open your favorite streaming app without clicking through multiple menus. As for drawbacks, I haven't run into any major issues personally. The TV is definitely very bright, so you might need to adjust the picture settings a little for nighttime viewing. I've also seen reviews mention that the default color settings could use some tweaking and that the built-in speakers are decent but not necessarily a replacement for a good soundbar. These aren't dealbreakers for me, but they're worth keeping in mind. Overall, I'm really enjoying this TV. It has great picture quality, handles my bright living room really well, works great for gaming and 4K content, and the Google TV experience has been smooth. The wall-mounted setup is just the icing on the cake. Would I recommend it? Absolutely! If you're looking for a big-screen TV for a bright living room, I think this one is definitely worth considering.

I researched multiple tvs in my budget for a while, it was a tough decision between a Mini LED and an OLED, decided with this one because of the peak brightness( i have a bright living room) now that ive had it for about 2 weeks i can say that the blacks are BLACK and the colornis amazing. Sound is great the TV itself is very loud with decent customization.

I’m extremely happy with my TCL QM8L 75-inch TV! The picture quality is absolutely stunning. The colors are vibrant, the blacks are deep, and the brightness is impressive. Watching movies in 4K HDR feels like having a movie theater at home. Gaming on my PS5 is another level! The 120Hz refresh rate makes everything look smooth and responsive, and the picture quality is fantastic. The TV looks modern and premium, and the overall performance has exceeded my expectations. For the price, it’s hard to imagine getting a better TV. Highly recommended for anyone who loves movies and gaming!

Upgrading tv and was deciding between the 8L and 7L. This was differently worth the additional cost. The picture is awesome evn in a very bright room.

The TCL 75” QM8L Google 4K TV arrived well packaged in the box. Unpacking was pretty standard for a large TV. Remove the outside plastic packing and the straps. Open the top of the box and remove the packaging. Lift the box over the TV. You now have access to the TV. I will be using the TV stand instead of mounting the TV on a wall. So I removed the TV stand and associated hardware. The assembly of the TV stand was very straight forward. Just make sure you follow the instructions. You have a choice as to how high the TV will be in the stand. I chose the lowest setting for mounting the TV on the stand. Leave the packaging on the TV as you will want to lie the TV flat in order to attach the stand to the rear of the TV. You can review all of the specs and features on the website. My review will discuss the TV set up and my experience using the TV. Setting up the TV was pretty easy. I had an issue with the remote working at first. I removed and switched the batteries and then the remote worked fine. When you turn the TV on, you will see a QR code to scan. After you scan the QR code, you are walked through the set up of the Goggle TV. I am using an ethernet connection. The TV supports up to Wifi 6. I tried Wifi as well and there are no issues. I had already connected all of my cables including ethernet. So when the TV was turned on, it detected my receiver and connected to it via the HDMI cable I connected to the eARC HDMI port. Nice! Sometimes people have issues with eARC. It is important to use a certified good HDMI cable. If you do not have one, make sure to add it to your TV order. The TV software update only took about 5 minutes to complete. In the Google Services section, I turned Help to improve Google TV to off. I turned the location setting off. Then you choose your app services to use. You can add another Google account at this time. I added another account. I did some research on the settings and this TV is very accurate out of the box. The only change I made was to use Filmmaker mode as this is supposed to be the most accurate. There are many options for adjusting your picture if that is what you want. I do not normally use TV apps. Apparently Dolby Vision 2 Max will be supported with a future firmware update. Nice! I did test the built-in speakers as you may want to use the built-in speakers. For Audio Output you select Internal Speaker and Subwoofer. The speakers are made by Bang & Olufsen. The sound is surprisingly good for built-in speakers. There is a Beosonic option in the menu if you use the internal speakers. Under Beosonic you can choose options like - bright, relaxed, energetic and warm. I have my antenna connected to the TV. I scanned for channels and both regular and NextGen TV stations were found. This took about 4 minutes. The TV guide was not there immediately but it did not take long for the guide to load. You will see the regular and Nextgen channels listed next to each other. Tuning in the NextGen channels is very fast. Much faster than another TV I own. I am impressed! The remote is very good! It feels good in the hand and is about the right size IMHO. And it is backlit!!! There are two important features on the right side of the remote. The top toggle allows you to change the brightness. The lower button allows you to change the picture mode. This is a very handy feature! There is a GameMaster setting in the menus. This will improve the latency on the selected inputs. I tested HDM3 connected to a gaming laptop with RTX4070 graphics. There are many gaming options to tweak with this TV (VRR ALLM, etc.) The native TV resolution is 144hz.. I tested Forza Horizon 6 and got a consistent 80+ FPS using 4K. The graphics are very impressive! Honestly I am a little surprised at how good they are. I did not experience any lags or tearing. I selected some apps to load when setting up Google TV. I added a missing one using the app store. You will see the downloaded apps on your main screen. Select the app you want to move. Hold down the center remote button to enable moving the app. Just move the app to the desired location in the app list on your main menu. There is 52GB of total space on the TV. Overall I rate this TV 5 out of 5. It has an amazing picture. I cannot think of anything lacking. There is great off angle viewing. The TV is bright. Gaming is impressive. I bet you will be as impressed as I am. I recommend this TV.
