Buying decision

Should you buy it?

Buy the TCL C8L if you want a very bright, colorful Mini LED TV with strong gaming features: an early review praised its brightness, color, black levels and local dimming, and the 65-inch has 2,040 dimming zones, Dolby Vision, HDR10+ and four HDMI 2.1 inputs at up to 4K 144Hz. Skip it if you watch from the side, because the backlight blooms off-axis, or if the cheaper C7L covers your needs. The sound is hit and miss.

Best for

Bright-room viewers and gamers who want premium Mini LED.

Not for

Wide seating layouts, and buyers who'd be fine with the C7L.
