One of the best super big screen TVs drops to its lowest price ever for Prime Day. Amazon is currently offering the massive 98" TCL QM8L 4K TV for $2,998.99 with free shipping. If you're an Amazon Prime cardmember, then you also get an extra 10% cashback instead of the typical 5%. This TV normally costs $6,000. If you're looking for a TV that's near 100" in size, then I would recommend this TV over any other brand or model. Yes, even over OLED.
The new 2026 QM8L TV features TCL's highly-touted SQD technology. SQD - which stands for Super Quantum Dot - is a more refined version of QLED tech. Quantum dot panels have a layer of microscopic crystals measuring a few nanometers in size that are able to separate light into precise colors. SQD tech uses even smaller crystals - as small as a single nanometer in width. This allows SQD panels to pack in even more dimming zones, usually numbering in the thousands, which in turn produces a brighter image with higher contrast and richer colors. The 98" model in particular boasts up to 6,000nits of peak brightness and over 4,000 local dimming zones.
Combined with TCL's new Halo Control System, the QM8L eliminates the halo effect you get with other LED LCD TVs when white and black elements are placed next to each other. This is one way you can distinguish OLED TVs (which don't exhibit the halo effect) to LED LCD TVs. TCL's SQD TV levels the playing field in that respect.
