The company announced its new S and Q-Series of premium TVs back at CES 2023, and now the pricing and availability of these new TVs has been announced.

After introducing the world’s first big-screen Quantum Dot TV, launching the world’s first mini-LED TV, and developing its own powerful TCL AIPQ Engine™ technology, TCL is dedicated to bringing customers the best and biggest screen TVs. Its latest 98″ model crowns the new QM8 collection to make it TCL’s largest Q Class TV and the ultimate home theater centerpiece. Here’s what TCL had to say about these new TVs.
