TCL’s latest Google TV lineup is now available in the US, already up to $2,000 off

TCL has launched its latest lineup of Google TV sets in the US, with some models already up to $2,000 off.

Available as of the past week, the TCL QM8L, QM7L, and RM9L series are all available in the US through Best Buy.

The RM9L series is the priciest of the bunch, with the RGB-MiniLED TVs offering 4K in 85-inch, 98-inch, and 115-inch sizes. At MSRP, these start at $7,999, but Best Buy is discounting the 85-inch size to $5,999 – or, at least it will when that model goes in stock.

TCL explains its RGB-MiniLED tech:

RGB-Mini LED uses dedicated red, green, and blue LEDs to generate rich color. This approach enables pure color wavelengths with 100% BT2020 color *. The TCL RM9L takes that further with the CSOT UltraColor Filter for more consistent color saturation and a new 30-bit *3 backlight controller as part of a 120-bit Color System, with shadowless uniform light support and shadow detail optimization, for unmatched color that allows exceptionally fine-grained control over each RGB channel. This kind of precision is especially noticeable on extra-large cinematic screen sizes.

Much more likely to end up in your home is a model from either the QM8L or QM7L lineups. While not quite as vibrant as the RM9L’s RGB-MiniLED, these both use QLED + MiniLED for TCL’s SQL-MiniLED tech. They’ve got full array local dimming and plenty of vibrance, but at a much more affordable price.

TCL explains:

Not all color is created equal. Built to outperform all other display technologies, the new members of the SQD-Mini LED family combine world class picture and sound technology for a home theater experience like no other – starting with more color, done right. The new TCL Deep Color System provides 100% BT2020 color * that’s more consistently accurate without color crosstalk or inconsistent saturation issues. SQD-Mini LED also provides more discrete local dimming zones for deeper blacks that achieve better contrast and brighter specular highlights for
greater HDR impact. That means starry night skies stay dark while explosions shine brighter, subtitles don’t glow awkwardly, and movies look more cinematic – just the way creators intended.

The QM8L lineup starts at $2,499 – currently down to $1,799 – while QM7L starts ar $1,199 – down to $999.
