New and cheaper TCL Q9M RGB Mini LED TV arrives
The TCL Q9M RGB Mini LED TV series has been released in China. Offered in four sizes, 65-inch, 75-inch, 85-inch and 98-inch, this is a cheaper alternative to the recently released Q10M Ultra RGB Mini LED TV.
TCL’s Q9M is a 4K model with an up to 288 Hz native refresh rate, according to its listing at online store JD.com. The largest model has 2,880 RGB backlight zones, delivering up to 2,000 nits XDR brightness; the peak brightness and number of backlight zones are the main differences between the Q9M and the Q10M. Plus, it is said to cover 100% of the BT.2020 color gamut for accurate colors, matching the Q10M. With a 7,000:1 native contrast ratio, the TV supports Dolby Vision, HDR10+ and HLG content, with IMAX Enhanced and Filmmaker Mode.
Gaming features of the Q9M include four HDMI 2.1 ports and AMD FreeSync Premium Pro. Users can also connect devices through a USB 3.0 port, and it offers Wi-Fi 6 connectivity. On top of this, the ultra-slim model features an integrated 2.1.2 channel sound system from Onkyo, which is compatible with Dolby Atmos
Prices of the TCL Q9M RGB Mini LED TV start from CNY 7,999 (~$1,123) for the 65-inch model. The 85-inch version is priced at CNY 11,999 (~$1,684), making it CNY 16,000 (~$2,246) cheaper than the TCL Q10M in the same size. The company has yet to announce plans to bring this model to markets like the US, where it sells models like the QM6K QD-Mini LED 4K TV (65-inch curr. $647.99 at Amazon).
