Editor's Note: ZDNET's Deal of the Week highlights an editorially chosen offer that stands out for its strong performance and overall value.

The QM8L brings a notable update to a standout TCL television lineup this year. It includes a refreshed SQD-Mini LED screen that enhances color precision and contrast, along with audio components developed in partnership with luxury sound experts Bang & Olufsen.

For those ready to upgrade their primary television, Best Buy currently discounts the TCL QM8L by as much as $1,000 across all available sizes. The 75-inch model now costs just under $2,000, while the 65-inch version sells for $1,799 after a $700 reduction. Amazon matches these prices as well.

The updated SDQ-Mini LED panel covers up to 100 percent of the BT.2020 color range, delivering vibrant hues with reduced light bleed through improved lens design. Up to 4,000 local dimming zones produce sharp contrast that competes with premium OLED and MicroRGB displays from brands such as Sony and LG. Peak brightness reaches 6,000 nits for reliable viewing across varied lighting conditions.

Review: TCL QM8

Bang & Olufsen speakers support Dolby Atmos virtual surround sound and IMAX Enhanced technology for deeper immersion during music, films, and series playback. Additional soundbars or subwoofers connect easily through HDMI eARC or Bluetooth. Gamers benefit from AMD FreeSync Premium VRR and a 144Hz refresh rate that smooths motion during play.

Anyone evaluating a TCL model, often preferred over Hisense alternatives in testing, should examine this offer on the QM8L.

How this deal was rated

Although the maximum $1,000 savings shows reduced impact on larger sizes, the promotion still balances cost, performance, and features effectively. Buyers receive strong picture quality with improved color accuracy, better contrast, and finer detail compared with earlier QM8 versions. The Bang & Olufsen audio adds clean, full sound that enhances the home theater experience. This combination earns the deal a 4/5 Editor's rating.
