TCL is a television maker that sells models at a range of prices. Its QM7L range uses mini-LED backlighting, which places many small lights behind the screen, and quantum dots to produce colour. These features are intended to deliver a bright, colourful picture, including in well-lit rooms.
OLED televisions use a different screen technology, in which each pixel produces its own light. The QM7L is positioned as a lower-cost alternative to OLED, while offering features such as HDR for a wider range of brightness and colour. Its 144Hz refresh rate and variable refresh rate can make movement smoother, which may matter to people who play video games.
The range runs Google TV, a smart television system for apps and streaming, and supports AirPlay 2 for sending content from Apple devices. Its different screen sizes offer options for different rooms and budgets; availability can vary by size and retailer.
