It’s one of the largest brands in Asia, number two globally, and TCL has kept growing in North America. At CES 2020, TCL announced a few new products that consumers should be finding at Best Buy later this year.
TCL premiered a new 8K HDR TV, and the TCL 8K QLED TV X915 and TCL NXTVISION’s innovative visual display technology won the “8K QLED TV Gold Award 2019-2020”and “Innovative Visual Display Technology Award of the Year”.
CES 2020: TCL shows off 8K QLED TV X915
TCL’s new flagship 8K QLED TV X915 will be available in 85’’, 75’’and 65’’ screen sizes. It offers premium 8K resolution viewing and it’s powered by Quatum Dot Display Technology and Local Dimming Technology, meaning the TVs have richer colour and precise backlighting control which can deliver better contrast, and an ultra-real picture quality.
- Key features of TCL’s new 8K TV:
- 8K upscaling
- Quantum dot display technology
- Local dimming technology
- Dolby Vision®& Dolby Atmos
- Onkyo sound bar
- Built-in camera
- Far-field voice control
- Android operating system
- Full-screen design
The company was also touting what it’s calling the World’s First Mini-LED TV. Vidrian™ Mini-LED Technology backlighting uses thin film transistors embedded directly into the glass. This “fusion of light and glass” as TCL calls it, minimizes the filters between the backlight and LCD, allowing this Mini-LED technology to “produce unrestrained illumination for powerfully bright and precise contrast as well as greater clarity”.
When it comes to contrast, with over 25,000 Mini-LEDs, ‘Quantum Contrast powered by Vidrian Mini-LED technology’ is said to create smoother and more even light distribution for enhanced uniformity throughout the picture.
THX Certified Game Mode & Variable Refresh Rate for Roku TVs
Gamers should enjoy these new TVs, since TCL has announced that variable refresh rate is coming as an automatic software update to select 2019 TCL Roku TV 6-Series models this spring. That same variable refresh rate technology is also coming to some 2020 high-performance TVs later this year, so stay tuned.
TCL announces sound bar, 5G phone & truly wireless headphones
TCL also used CES 2020 to announce a sound bar, the Alto 9+ 3.1 channel sound bar with Dolby Atmos.
A 5G phone under $500USD was also debuted as was truly wireless headphones, so TCL is deliberately trying to cover all the bases consumers need in home theatre and home entertainment.
