TCL QM8L SQD-Mini LED 85-inch wall mount: VESA 600 × 500 mm, 85.8 lb
The TCL QM8L 85-inch (85QM8L) uses a VESA 600 × 500 mm pattern and weighs 85.8 lb without its stand. 600 × 500 mm is outside the standard VESA sizes, so it needs a mount that names this spacing or a large-format plate rated above 85.8 lb.
| VESA pattern | 600 × 500 mm (23.62 × 19.69 in), non-standard |
|---|---|
| Weight without stand | 85.8 lb (91.7 lb with stand) |
| Screws | M8 |
| US model number | 85QM8L |
| Model year | 2026, SQD-Mini LED |
VESA and weight from TCL's product page, checked Sep 22, 2026. Measure your own TV's holes if the model number on its sticker differs.
This page also covers the 2025 TCL QM9K 85-inch (85QM9K, 85.8 lb) and 2025 TCL QM8K 85-inch (85QM8K, 85.8 lb): TCL lists the same 600 × 500 mm pattern and a weight within a pound, so the same mounts fit.

See it on AmazonThe QM8L 85-inch against its lineup
TCL lists the 2026 QM8L (SQD-Mini LED) in 65, 75, 85 and 98 inches. 4 of the 15 TCL 85-inch models from 2024 to 2026 in this research use 600 × 500 mm; the others use 600 × 400 (9) or 400 × 400 (1). 4 of them weigh more than this one. 85.8 lb is close to the 92 lb typical of 85-inch panels, so size-rated brackets are in the right range; check the rating anyway.
What changed from the 2024 TCL QM851G
- Pattern: 600 × 500 mm on both, so a bracket bought for the QM851G lines up.
- Weight: 102.5 lb then, 85.8 lb now (16.7 lb lighter).
- Screws: M8 on both.
- A mount rated for the QM851G carries this one too.

Screws, studs and height
TCL lists M8 screws for the four holes. Use the screws that match that thread from the bracket's kit, and stop if one bottoms out before the plate is tight: a spacer fixes that, force does not.
The holes are 23.6 in apart side to side, wider than 16-inch stud spacing, so a standard wall plate reaches a stud on each side.
With the center at 42 in for sofa seating, an 85-inch screen runs from about 21 in to 63 in off the floor. In a bedroom the center goes 42 to 50 in. The height calculator works it out for your own seat.
Other sizes of the QM8L
The QM8L changes pattern with size: 65" 300 × 300, 75" 400 × 400, 85" 600 × 500, 98" 600 × 500. Buy for the size you own.
| Size | VESA | Weight without stand |
|---|---|---|
| 65" | 300 × 300 mm | 46.5 lb (65QM8L) |
| 75" | 400 × 400 mm | 62.6 lb (75QM8L) |
| 98" | 600 × 500 mm | 121.3 lb (98QM8L) |

Frequently asked questions
What VESA pattern does the QM8L 85" use?
VESA 600 × 500 mm: 600 mm between the holes side to side and 500 mm top to bottom (23.62 × 19.69 in), with M8 screws. That is from TCL's product page, checked Sep 22, 2026.
How much does the QM8L 85" weigh?
85.8 lb without the stand and 91.7 lb with it. Bracket ratings are for the panel alone, so 85.8 lb is the number to shop against, and it is a two-person lift.
Will a mount from the 2024 QM851G 85" fit?
The pattern is the same (600 × 500 mm), so it bolts on. The weight is 85.8 lb against 102.5 lb, so the rating carries over.
Can the QM8L 85" hang on drywall without studs?
No. Drywall alone is for TVs up to about 32 in and 30 lb on rated toggle anchors. At 85 in and 85.8 lb it needs the bolts in studs, or masonry anchors in brick or concrete.
Want the QM8L mounted for you?
Mounting an 85-inch TV is $299 flat in all 13 metros we serve. The bracket is separate: bring your own, or add a flat mount for $69 or a full-motion mount for $79. Every install carries our 3-year workmanship warranty.
