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 https://www.engadget.com/home/home-theater/dolby-vision-2-is-coming-this-year-heres-what-you-need-to-know-140000034.html" target="_blank">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.

The TV also features Bang & Olufsen audio and Google TV with Gemini support.
