By Felo News Desk · Published
TCL's 2026 QM8L QLED TV line is being offered at its lowest prices since launch, Lifehacker reported on October 15. The 65‑inch model is listed for $1,297.99, down from $2,499.99, while larger sizes also enjoy steep reductions.
What happened
According to the Lifehacker deal roundup, the 65‑inch QM8L is now $1,302 cheaper than its original price. The 75‑inch version is $1,471.59 off, selling for $1,528.40. The 85‑inch model is $1,502 cheaper at $2,497.99, and the 98‑inch TV drops by $2,502 to $3,497.99. All prices are shown on Amazon and are subject to change.
What the report adds
Lifehacker notes that the QM8L series features a “Zero Border” bezel, 6,000‑nit peak brightness, and up to 4,000 local dimming zones, which the outlet says give the TV contrast levels comparable to OLEDs. The article also highlights a 144 Hz refresh rate, Dolby Atmos‑ready Bang & Olufsen speakers, and Google AI integration. It references a CNET review that gave the TV an 8.8/10 rating.
What was said
Lifehacker’s shopping editor Daniel Oropeza wrote, “When you turn it on, you'll likely note how bright this TV gets, which is a huge advantage QLEDs have over OLEDs,” and added that the TV’s “Filmmaker mode provides accurate color and picture.”
How it came about
The QM8L was introduced earlier in 2026 as a mid‑range QLED offering, and price‑tracking tools show the current discounts are the deepest since its April launch. Lifehacker’s coverage follows its regular tech‑deal reporting, which often links to broader shopping guides such as its recent “Best MacBook Deals September 2026” article.
