TCL introduces the only TV on CES 2026X11L, a huge LCD screen with a layer of super quantum dots, delivering even better color reproduction and stunning brightness.
While a number of companies at this year's conference, including LG and Samsung, are touting MicroRGB backlighting for improved color, TCL says its method improves contrast thanks to a unique backlight system.
The 4K TV says the SQ-LED screen combines three new “TCL Deep Color System” technologies to achieve 100% of the BT.2020 color space, including Super Quantum Dot (Super QLED) crystals, TCL UltraColor filter and TCL's advanced color purity algorithm.
The company says its TV is capable of reaching up to 10,000 nits of brightness, which, if accurate, would make it one of the brightest TVs ever made. The TV uses a MiniLED backlight with the company's Halo Control system, which is designed to reduce backlight ghosting artifacts in high-contrast images.
The screen features a WHVA 2.0 Ultra panel with an edge-to-edge ZeroBorder anti-glare bezel that minimizes visible bezels. In addition, the TV supports Dolby Vision IQ, HDR10+, HDR10 and HLG, includes a Bang and Olufsen audio system and Dolby Atmos support.
I had a short description practical with the X11L and saw it in standard mode compared to a number of other MicroLED TVs, and the TCL looked bright and had the same high contrast I saw with QM8 and QM9. However, when I put the TV in regular Filmmaker mode, the colors were much less saturated, so I can't (yet) speak to the TV's accuracy or ability to match any particular color standard.
The X11L will be available this month in 75-inch, 85-inch and 98-inch sizes.
