TCL Launches X11L and C8L SQD-Mini LED TVs
TCL has introduced two new premium televisions in India.
They are called the X11L and the C8L.
Both use a display system called SQD-Mini LED.
This system combines special colour technology with many small LED lights that can dim in different areas.
TCL says it can show the full BT.2020 colour range.
The X11L is designed for people who want a very large and powerful TV.
The C8L is designed for people who want similar technology in a size that may fit their room better.
The two TVs mainly differ in how many lighting zones they have and how bright they can become.
TCL has launched the flagship X11L and more widely sized C8L SQD-Mini LED TVs in India.
Both televisions use Super Quantum Dot Mini LED technology, combining an Ultra Colour Filter panel, Super QLED colour and zone-by-zone dimming.
TCL says the SQD-Mini LED system is the first Mini LED technology to cover 100% of the BT.2020 colour gamut.
The X11L targets buyers seeking TCL’s most capable large-screen television, while the C8L is aimed at buyers seeking a more room-friendly option.
The models differ mainly in their number of dimming zones and peak brightness, while Mini LED demand is projected to exceed 27 million units by 2030.
