CES 2026 Introduction of TCL's SQD Mini-LED TVs
Earlier this year at CES 2026, TCL presented their latest lineup of Super Quantum Dot (SQD) mini-LED TVs, showcasing cutting-edge visuals and innovative technology. Powering these models, they soon launched the series in China, and afterward, it was made available for US consumers too. Notably, the mid-range 85-inch model of these TVs has just received a significant price cut recently, making it more accessible for viewers looking for premium quality. Also, this particular TV has beaten standard HDR10 tests with its peak HDR brightness being even higher than expected.
Design & Display Specifications
This TV boasts a 4K resolution (3,840 by 2,160 pixels) paired with a WHVA 2.0 Ultra display that features TCL’s innovative ‘ZeroBorder’ technology, reducing bezels to nearly invisible. An SQD-Mini LED setup with 14,400 dimming zones makes this TV very luminous, rated for a peak brightness of up to 10,000 nits. The device is powered by TCL’s TSR AI processor, which allows for excellent image processing. For gamers, it ensures perks like FreeSync Premium Pro, Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) with the Game Accelerator 288, and an in-game overlay via the Game Bar. Support for multiple HDR formats including Dolby Vision IQ, HDR10, HDR 10+, and HLG enhances picture quality for a cinematic experience.
Smart Features & Connectivity
Like many earlier TCL models, this TV runs on Google TV OS and comes with Bang & Olufsen speakers, though specific configuration details are not publicly shared. In terms of connectability, it comes equipped with four HDMI 2.1 portals and an HDMI eARC connection for audio. Additionally, there are one USB 3.0 port and two USB 2.0 ports available. Wireless communication options include Bluetooth 5.4 and Wi-Fi 6, making it adaptable to modern home entertainment setups.
Pricing & Availability
The 85-inch version of the X11L SQD Mini-LED TV has been listed at a reduced price of $5,998, a discount of $2,002 from its usual sale price. It is now available for purchase through multiple outlets, including its official website, although some stores might be a few dollars more expensive. Customers should be aware that these pricing details were accurate at the time of writing but are subject to change depending on the retailer and stock levels.
