TCL is ready to reveal the X11K and C8K Premium QD-Mini LED TVs to the world
For the premium home cinema experience
TCL elevates their flagship TV category with the all-new X11K and C8K — their latest and greatest premium line of QD-Mini LED TVs.
Backed by TCL CSOT’s cutting-edge backlight precision, exceptional brightness, and industry-leading color accuracy, both of these models are designed for the ultimate home cinema experience.
TCL’s very own QD-Mini LED technology combines the strengths of both QLED and OLED as it merges traditional backlight into lighting with pixel-level precision.
The Chinese company’s state-of-the-art display technology delivers unparalleled viewing experience with ultra-high peak brightness, contrast, and color gamut — all while ensuring an ultra-long lifespan in the long run.
X11K: Full-on Flagship
First shown at the CES 2025 show floor, the all-new flagship TCL X11K pushes the limits of display tech even further. This premium QD-Mini LED TV boasts an astounding peak brightness of up to 6500 nits.
And, being part of TCL’s Precise Dimming Series, it’s a no-brainer that the X11K offers a plethora of local dimming zones of up to 14,112.
Managed by TCL CSOT’s revolutionary All-domain Halo Control Technology, it completely eliminates unwanted halo for a crystal clear viewing experience.
Moreover, there’s also a CrystGlow HVA panel that minimizes reflections and enhances contrast for comfortable viewing no matter what lighting condition you have at home.
Found within is TCL’s AiPQ Pro Processor which fine-tunes each and every detail and setting using TCL’s advanced AI Algorithms.
Paired with speakers powered by the renowned audio-maker Bang & Olufsen along their Beosonic music feature, expect rich cinema-grade sound even without the presence of home theatre sound system.
Despite this beast of a TV, it has managed to acquire its signature “flat-thin design” that enables it to seamlessly blend into your wall like a painting masterpiece.
That ultra-thinness was ultimately thanks to TCL’s infusion of Super Micro-OD paired with a self-developed Super Condensed Micro Lens and a powerful light-emitting chip in constrat to conventional QD-Mini LED TVs of other leading brands.
C8K: The Follow-Up
The TCL C8K is neither a slouch. This follow-up QD-Mini LED TV offers an impressive 4500 nits of peak brightness. Moreover, local dimming zones are still plentiful at 3840.
Unlike the X11K, the C8K features an even more enhanced CrystGlow WHVA Panel. This provides an ultra-high native contrast ratio and virtually zero-border design for pure immersiveness.
It also increased ultra-wide color viewing angle by 40%, has super low reflectivity, and high in energy-efficiency.
For context, TCL’s HVA and WHVA panels are above the quality against the standard VA as well as conventional and high-end IPS panels in the market.
Paired with TCL’s QLED tech, it achieves even greater heights of color-accuracy — up to 97% of DCI-P3 wide color gamut to be precise.
While it still possesses the same Super Micro Condensed Lens and light-emitting chip, it’s slightly different with its Micro-OD Lens (vs X11K’s “Super” Micro-OD).
Technically, it’s a tad thicker than the former — but it still manages to have a less than 60mm slim body and an overall redefined design. Wall-mounted or not, it will still look seamless regardless.
It’s powered by the TSR AiPQ Processor that enables four AiMaster algorithms paired with speakers that are rich in sound thanks to B&O.
It’s also good to note that both models have a Native Refresh Rate of up to 144Hz for the best and smoothest gameplay possible.
Pricing and Availability
As of this writing, both the TCL X11K and C8K have no definite pricing nor specific regional availability.
However, what’s certain are their display size offerings: The TCL C8K ranges between 65, 75, 85, and 98-inches — ditching the 55 and 115-inch variants of its predecessor.
Meanwhile, the TCL X11K is available in either 85 or 98-inch models.
APEX: The New Standard
As introduced last year, TCL CSOT continues to set new benchmarks for innovation with their newest APEX platform. This new display innovation standard will be built on four pillars:
- A – mazing Display Experience
- P – rotective of Eye Health
- E – co-friendly to Build and Use, and;
- X – Unlimited Imaginative Potential
APEX will then be the guide for the development of TCL’s next-gen displays with a comprehensive portfolio that will redefine not just the user’s experience, but also keep in mind its sustainability and infinite possibilities in their TVs’ overall form factor.
All thanks to these breakthroughs, TCL CSOT remains committed in bringing excellence that will lead and change the industry even further through product innovation and more strategic upgrades in the near future.

Hisense L9Q Review: The ultra short throw projector that feels like a TV
A 120″ home cinema
Have you ever dreamed of watching a movie at home that actually feels like the cinema? A picture so bright, so detailed, so close — you forget it’s being projected onto your wall?
The Hisense L9Q the kind of device that makes that possible.
The Ultimate Home Theater Upgrade
When you think of a projector, you probably picture a big box at the back of the room, throwing a beam of light you’re not supposed to walk through.
The Hisense L9Q flips that idea completely. It’s an ultra-short-throw projector, which means it sits just inches from the wall. So there are neither shadows nor cables stretching across the floor.
It’s clean, modern, and honestly, it looks like something from the future. It’s Hisense’s most advanced laser projector yet.
Setup only takes minutes: drop it in place, power it on, and auto fit and alignment can take care of the rest, or you can manually adjust it. You don’t need a technician to pull this off.
And the image? 80 inches all the way up to a massive 200 inches. Pair it with an ALR screen — short for ambient light rejection — and it looks even more unreal. The screen bounces the projector’s light straight toward you while blocking out the glare from lamps or windows.
Most people will think it’s a TV. Then you tell them it’s a projector and you can watch their faces light up.
Pure Cinema Standards
At 5,000 lumens, this is one of the brightest projectors in its class. It stays vivid even in daylight. That football match you like to watch with coffee on weekend mornings? It looks spectacular.
The scary movies you pretend to watch under a cozy blanket? Also SPOOK-tacular.
But brightness alone isn’t the star of the show. The secret is L9Q’s Triple Color Laser system. That means separate red, green, and blue lasers, each tuned for pure wavelength precision.
Most projectors use a single white laser or LED that filters through color wheels, which limits how many shades it can actually show. This one doesn’t.
It covers 110% of the BT.2020 color gamut, which is the widest color standard used in 4K production today. So you get richer reds, punchier greens, deeper blues — the kind of color that makes sunsets glow, neon lights shimmer, and movie worlds feel alive.
Just look at the Avatar films: those shimmering blues and layered greens that feel otherworldly. There’s also La La Land’s famous “Lovely Night” scene: those shifting blues and oranges that make it pure magic.
Even in Severance, you might remember that moment when Mr. Milchick gifts the innies their music dance experience. The reds and blues flood the frame without ever bleeding into each other.
Combine that wider color gamut with both Pantone and Pantone Skintone Validation and you get better color over all.
In White Lotus Season 3, for example, even with its warmer color grade, you can still see each cast member’s skin tone naturally. They’re not washed out nor overly orange.
Add 4K Ultra HD resolution and a 5,000 : 1 contrast ratio, and dark scenes pull you in while highlights burst with cinematic clarity, the kind of balance you expect in a real theater.
Just like the best theaters, the L9Q supports every major HDR standard: Dolby Vision, IMAX Enhanced, HDR10+, HDR10, and HLG. Visually, it’s stunning.
In Oppenheimer, the shadows stay detailed and lifelike. You’ll see every subtle expression on Cillian Murphy’s face.
In Black Panther, the deep purples and golds of T’Challa’s ceremonial robe gleam against the vibrant landscapes of Wakanda.
Lastly, in Crazy Rich Asians, the wedding scene feels lush and alive — colors bloom, fabrics shimmer, and the lighting feels straight out of the theater.
Then, there’s the sound. The L9Q’s built-in Max 116W Devialet 6.2.2 audio system delivers clear highs, warm mids, and a surprisingly powerful low end.
Soft moments like Kina Grannis’ Can’t Help Falling in Love, sound intimate and emotional. When things get intense, like Kendrick Lamar’s Pray for Me during the Busan chase, the audio swells, crisp and controlled, matching the energy on screen.
Zimmer’s score in Oppenheimer hits just as hard: first silence, then the blast, shaking the room with that cinematic punch.
Of course, if you’re building a full home theater, you’ll probably connect your own surround setup. With the L9Q’s flexible connectivity, you can easily do so. But even on its own, this projector already sounds like it belongs in a cinema.
Visual Excellence
It’s not just for movie nights either. The L9Q handles fast-moving visuals like a champ . It’s got 240 Hz refresh rate that keeps motion fluid and sharp. Whether it’s live sports, chase scenes, or anything that moves fast, you won’t miss a beat.
It’s one of those details you don’t notice until you go back to something slower — then you can’t unsee it.
Whatever you like to watch at home, it’s also just a click away. The L9Q has Google TV built in, so all your favorite apps — Netflix, Disney Plus, YouTube — are ready to go.
No set-top boxes, no cables, just the remote, which, by the way, glows in the dark.
Elegant Centerpiece
The Hisense L9Q is a showpiece in itself. Unlike most TVs that are an eyesore when turned off, it’s designed to be seen, not hidden.
With its imperial copper gilt finish, diamond-cut edges, and micro-prism detailing, it’s already won prestigious design awards like the Red Dot 2024 and IF Design Award 2025.
Just like all Hisense projectors, it’s also built to last. With a 25,000-hour laser lifespan you’ll be enjoying your home theater for a really long time. I did that math and that’s at least 2 movies every day for the next 13 years.
The Future of Home Cinema
At US$5,999, it’s an investment for sure, but it’s the kind that transforms every movie, game, or cozy night in into something worth remembering. No bulky setup. No messy cables. No compromises. Just light, sound, and story — right where you live.
Check out Hisense L9Q Ultra Short Throw Projector on Best Buy or Amazon. It’s currently $500 off for Black Friday.

The Hisense 116-inch TV is here to make your home feel like a private theater
Who needs a movie ticket when your TV can outshine the cinema?
If your idea of a good night in involves snacks, streaming, and a screen that practically swallows your wall, Hisense might have built your fantasy.
Meet the Hisense 116-inch Class UX Series RGB-MiniLED TV, the world’s biggest of its kind now lighting up the Philippines.
Revealed at Anson’s The Link in Makati, this colossal screen made its debut to gasps and wide eyes. Because when you see it, “big” feels like an understatement.
The world’s biggest
This isn’t just size for show. The UX Series uses RGB-MiniLED technology, where red, green, and blue LEDs live right behind the panel to give you truer colors, deeper contrast, and lifelike brightness.
Think: every explosion in an action scene or sunset in a K-drama glowing with 3D color control and over 20,000 local dimming zones.
It even hits up to 8,000 nits of peak brightness. Basically, daylight in a TV.
Behind the screen’s magic is the Hi-View AI Engine X, Hisense’s powerhouse brain that constantly tweaks and refines your content.
Movies look sharper, motion stays buttery-smooth, and sound feels more realistic, all thanks to its faster CPU, GPU, and NPU.
The TV’s AI Picture and AI Sound work like your invisible home theater crew. It boosts dialogue clarity, balances acoustics, and makes every scene sound as good as it looks.
And when you’re switching between Netflix or game nights, AI Scenario automatically adjusts everything so it always looks on point. Also, AI Energy keeps it eco-friendly by fine-tuning brightness.
During the launch, Hisense also took the chance to do something meaningful, supporting the Cultural Center of the Philippines with brand-new TVs to help promote local art, film, and theater.
The Hisense 116-inch Class UX Series RGB-MiniLED is now available at Anson’s The Link Makati for a promo price of PhP 1,249,999 (cash), with a PhP 1,999,999 SRP.
