If you're in the market for an affordable, future proofed gaming TV, then take a look at the brand new 2023 TCL QM8 Mini-LED TV. Amazon currently has the 65" model on sale for $901.34, a nearly $800 discount off the $1700 MSRP. This TV came out in May of 2023 and features all the technology you'd want in a current generation gaming TV including a gorgeous Mini-LED panel and 4K@120Hz support for PS5 and Xbox.
As a side note, I have this TV and it's currently connected to my PS5 console in my game room. This TV is easily one of the best displays I've owned. I still prefer my LG Evo C2 OLED TV in the living room where I have full light control. However, my game room has very poor light control, with a lot of sunlight that filters in during the day. The TCL QM8 is much brighter than my OLED and, in my experience, this TV is better there.
65" TCL QM8 4K Mini LED QLED Smart TV for $901.34
HDMI 2.1 for 4K @ 120Hz
The new 2023 TCL QM8 TV boasts a combination of a QLED and Mini-LED panel with full array LED backlighting, local dimming, and wide color gamut. The QLED panel enables this TV to retain strong color accuracy and good dynamic range even at peak brightness levels. The local dimming feature allows different zones to dim or brighten independent of each other, thus allowing the TV to deftly handle scenes where the brightest whites and the darkest blacks occur simultaneously. Mini LED panels allow for even more precising local dimming because the controller zones are smaller and more numerous. Whereas a normal LCD TV with local dimming might have as many as 100 zones of dimming, the TCL QM8 boasts a whopping 2,300 zones. These TVs also offer incredibly high brightness levels (TCL claims up to 2,000nits).
The TCL QM8 also has gamers covered. It features a native 120Hz panel and two HDMI 2.1 inputs. That means it can pass true 4K @ 120Hz on PS5 and Xbox Series X consoles and RTX 30 series equipped gaming PCs. The TCL QM8 also supports VRR with Game Accelerator 240 (up to 240Hz refresh rate at 1080p), ALLM, and AMD FreeSync Pro.
All the features above make the TCL QM8 an excellent HDR TV set as well, especially when combined with HDR Ultra (Dolby Vision IQ, HDR10+, HDR10, & HLG) support, IMAX Enhanced certification, and Google TV.
