INSANE: We just tested the tcl qm8l and it s better than i expected in this one key way | Rare Historical Photos

In 2026, nearly every major TV brand — including TCL — is rolling out a whole new type of TV: RGB LED. But TCL wasn't satisfied to simply follow the rest of the industry and call it a day.
