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.
TV technology is changing in a way you can’t see. And it starts with how color itself is made.
