TCL has launched its full line of mini-LED TVs in the US, with offerings led by the QM89, a 115-inch model. With the huge new model comes the QM8 and QM7 series TVs, available in screen sizes ranging from 55 to 98 inches.
The best TVs are getting new ultra-large screens: 98 inches is now a standard screen size for most QLED and mini-LED TV manufacturers. This makes them a viable alternative to the best 4K projectors, which have more complicated installation requirements and limited brightness compared to TVs.

The company's new AiPQ Ultra processor provides more than 65,000 levels of granular control over the TV's local dimming and is accompanied by ultra-wide-angle lens technology for even light distribution and optical distance reduction technology that virtually eliminates blurring. backlighting, according to TCL.
With a built-in 6.2.2-channel Onkyo speaker system, the QM89 has impressive audio specs to match its ultra-bright 115-inch picture. TCL's flagship TV also features an anti-glare display, a next-generation ATSC 3.0 TV tuner, and custom installation features that allow it to integrate with advanced home control systems.
