I tested TCL’s $8,000 SQD Mini-LED TV — here's my verdict

The TCL X11L SQD Mini-LED TV is the company’s boldest step into premium territory yet, combining extreme brightness, improved color retention and strong local dimming performance into a flagship set designed to rival Samsung and Sony’s best. While its price and size limit its audience, the new SQD technology shows real promise, especially as TCL plans to bring it to more affordable models later this year.
