At a glance
This 85-inch TCL C8L is a premium large-screen 4K Google TV built for big living rooms and home theatre use. It stands out with Mini LED contrast, strong HDR support, powerful 200W Bang & Olufsen sound, and smooth 144Hz gaming performance. It suits buyers wanting a cinematic all-in-one setup, though its very large size needs plenty of wall or floor space.

Things to consider
Its 85-inch size and 290 cm recommended viewing distance make it less suitable for smaller rooms, and buyers chasing the absolute top-end picture refinement may still prefer more specialist flagship display options.
Home theatre suitability score
9/10 - large 85-inch screen, Mini LED backlighting, broad HDR support, and powerful built-in audio make it highly capable for cinematic viewing.
Large room viewing fit
10/10 - ideal for large living areas and home theatre rooms, with a recommended viewing distance of 290 cm.
Gaming performance rating
9/10 - 144Hz refresh rate, HDMI 2.1 connectivity, and AMD FreeSync Premium Pro make it very well suited to modern console and PC gaming.
Smart home integration compatibility
Google TV with built-in Google Assistant and access to major streaming apps
Wall mounting ease
8/10 - 600 x 500 mm VESA compatibility supports wall mounting, though the large 85-inch form factor will usually require careful planning and sturdy installation.
Key benefits
- 85-inch screen: creates a more immersive viewing experience for movies, sports, and family entertainment in larger spaces.
- SQD Mini LED panel: delivers stronger contrast control and better brightness than standard LED TVs for more impactful picture quality.
- Quantum Dot Technology: produces richer, more vibrant colour for lifelike scenes across movies, shows, and sport.
- Dolby Vision IQ, HDR10+, and HLG support: helps compatible content look more dynamic with improved brightness and contrast detail.
- 144Hz refresh rate: supports smoother motion for fast-action gaming and sport.
- AMD FreeSync Premium Pro: reduces screen tearing and helps deliver a more responsive gaming experience on supported devices.
- 200W Bang & Olufsen speaker system: provides fuller, more powerful sound than many TVs, reducing the need for an immediate soundbar upgrade.
- 5 star energy rating: offers strong large-screen performance with an Australian Energy Rating of 5 stars.
Q: Does this 85 inch TCL suit PS5 and Xbox Series X gaming?
A: Yes. TCL 85C8L has HDMI 2.1, a 144Hz refresh rate and AMD FreeSync Premium Pro, so it is set up for modern console and PC gaming. The connected device and the game also need to support those modes to get the full benefit.
Q: Will the 85C8L fit on a regular TV unit?
A: It can, but only on a very wide unit. TCL 85C8L measures 1880mm across and 379mm deep with the stand fitted, so smaller cabinets may be ruled out. Its 85-inch screen is better matched to large rooms than compact living spaces.
Q: What wall mount size does the TCL 85C8L use?
A: TCL 85C8L uses a 600 x 500mm VESA mount pattern. At 41.6kg with the stand and a very wide 85-inch panel, it needs a mount rated for a large TV and enough wall space for the screen width.
Q: Is the TCL 85C8L good for bright living rooms?
A: Yes. TCL 85C8L uses Mini LED backlighting and an anti-reflective panel design, which helps the picture hold up better in rooms with more ambient light. Reflections can still be visible if windows or lamps face the screen directly.
Q: Do you need a soundbar with the TCL 85C8L?
A: Not necessarily. TCL 85C8L has a 200W Bang and Olufsen speaker system with Dolby Atmos and DTS Virtual:X, so it can fill many lounge rooms on its own. A separate audio system may still suit buyers chasing stronger surround placement.
Q: Is this 85 inch TCL expensive to run?
A: TCL 85C8L has a 5 star energy rating and estimated annual energy consumption of 770kWh. A higher star rating generally means lower running costs than other 85-inch TVs with a lower rating, though big-screen use still adds up over time.
