QLED with Mini LED
TCL’s QD-Mini LED combines the merits of QLED and OLED technologies, transforming the traditional backlight into lighting that is close to pixel-level precision. It also utilises the world’s leading QLED technology, offering contrast and colour gamut comparable to OLED, while also providing higher peak brightness and a longer lifespan. This represents the future technology of large-screen displays.

Mini LED TV: The Halo Eliminator
The TCL all-domain halo control technology covers the entire path from light generation to imaging, integrating high-efficiency light-emitting chips and self-developed lens technology, combined with Micro-OD, light and shadow control algorithms, and TCL’s unique self-produced high-end CSOT HVA Panel technology. Through system-level precise control of light, it effectively solves the halo problem and delivers a premium viewing experience.

Master light and dark, capture intricate details
Compared with the previous generation of conventional light-emitting chip, C8K’s ground-breaking Powerful Light-emitting Chip significantly improves brightness and energy efficiency, reproducing natural bright and dark scenes with clarity.

Better image quality, thinner body
With TCL’s powerful Mini LED optical technology, C8K delivers an astonishing Micro-OD. It not only offers a slimmer TV unit but also significantly reduces the Mini LED halo issue by working with the super condensed micro lens and ultra-high zoning, giving the stars in the night sky a deep, delicate, and sharp look.

Enriched dark and light details, more realistic image reproduction
Combined with human perception characteristics and picture pixel information, the lighting details are optimised for SDR and HDR signals, while the details and contrast of light and dark scenes are greatly improved. Enjoy more real lighting effects of streaming media resources on TCL TV.

More than a billion hues of vivid colour
TCL QLED utilises Colourful Quantum Crystals, which integrate nanoscale quantum dot materials with organic materials in multiple layers. Together with backlighting technology, this breakthrough achieves exceptional colour and optical performance. Each frame masterfully renders more than a billion hues of vivid colours, showcasing stunningly colour accuracy and richness. Enhanced brightness further illuminates subtle details, offering an immersive and lifelike viewing experience that unveils hidden nuances.

A wisdom core that enhances multi-scenario experiences
TCL AI has developed a robust underlying hardware capability through independent research and development. It has created a quantum supercomputing platform that integrates a variety of self-developed professional models and has built an industry-leading Mariana database. This enables continuous deep learning and evolution of the TCL AI model. In addition, TCL AI deeply integrates many AI capabilities and has a large number of powerful scenario-based intelligent agents. It provides you with a smarter and more convenient audio-visual entertainment experience across four dimensions: AI image quality, AI sound quality, AI interaction, and AI content generation.

Adaptive game screen for three major consoles
Gamebar has customised screen design for the three major mainstream gaming consoles, creating immersive gaming experiences. Gamebar integrates many graphics and game modes, allowing you to make personalised game settings and stack up BUFFs at the start.

Born to be proud
When connected to a 288Hz HDMI source, the refresh rate can be boosted to 288Hz. Moreover, the entire signal path supports a 4K 144Hz refresh rate, ensuring that fast-moving scenes remain crystal clear and fluid. This enhances the viewing experience for sports, action movies, and gaming, with reduced stuttering, tearing, and blurring. Whether you’re running, racing, or shooting, victory is within reach, and the exciting moments are vividly captured.
*288 VRR Game Accelerator is achievable via HDMI 1 and 2 ports.
