TCL's RGB-Mini LED TVs will start at $8,000

TCL introduced its new flagship X11L SQD-Mini LED TV at CES 2026, and now a few months later, the company is ready to expand its lineup with more SQD-Mini LED models and its first RGB-Mini LED TV. All sizes of the TCL QM8L SQD-Mini LED TV are available now. Meanwhile, both the TCL QM7L SQD-Mini LED TVs and the RM9L RGB-Mini LED TVs are available to pre-order.

SQD-Mini LED panels are TCL's latest iteration of its Mini LED display technology, where "SQD" stands for "Super Quantum Dot," a layer of tiny crystal dots that help filter the light from the LEDs in the company's panels. TCL claims its SQD-Mini LED screens are more color accurate than its previous models without losing out on HDR contrast. The TCL QM8L has an anti-reflective SQD-Mini LED panel, up to 4,000 discrete dimming zones, up to 6,000 nits of peak brightness and support for Dolby Vision 2 Max after a software update. The TCL QM7L also has an anti-reflective SQD-Mini LED panel, up to 2,100 discrete dimming zones, up to 3,000 nights of peak brightness and support for Dolby Vision IQ. Both TVs feature Audio by Bang & Olufsen and run the latest version of Google TV with support for Gemini.

Like other TV makers at CES 2026, TCL also capitalized on the growing trend of Micro RGB or RGB Mini LED panels. Rather than use a layer of white or blue LEDs that are transformed with quantum dots and color filters, TCL's RGB-Mini LED starts with discrete red, green and blue LEDs to produce richer color. The TCL RM9L features the company's new RGB-Mini LED display with an anti-reflective layer, over 3,800 discrete local dimming zones, up to 6,000 nits of peak brightness and support for Dolby Vision 2 after a software update. The TV also features Bang & Olufsen audio and Google TV with Gemini support.

TCL says the QM8L is available to order now starting at $2,500 for the 65-inch model, $3,000 for the 75-inch model, $4,000 for the 85-inch model and $6,000 for the 98-inch model. The TCL QM7L, meanwhile, is available to pre-order starting at $1,200 for the 55-inch model and goes as high as $4,000 for the 98-inch model. If you're curious about TCL's new RGB-Mini LED displays, the TCL RM9L is available to pre-order starting at $8,000 for the 85-inch model and up to an eye-popping $30,000 for a 115-inch model.
