- TCL presents a new television range for the United Kingdom and Europe
- The next -generation background light promises a depth of 23 bits and better efficiency
- 3 new models led by Mini in the United Kingdom
TCL has presented its new TV line for the United Kingdom and Europe, which are available to buy this week, and the company In fact He wants to take the initiative to be the mini-lid TV range at half price to go.
Half of the new range includes the last mini background light of the company ‘7th Gener’, which TCL, according to TCL, has improved in a large number of ways on the specifications sheet.
TCL says that it has developed a new LED chip that can be 53% brighter, but also 10% more efficient, which is combined with a new micro-length to focus better light and create less flowering, while bringing mini-eld to the screen, to reduce the cross effects and halo among its light areas.
In addition to that, the new LEDs have a 23 -bit controller, which means that they claimed 65,000 different levels of light gradation control. As a reference, the Sony Bravia 9 has a 22-bit controller, and we acclaim it as a new level of impressive performance for mini-read worthy of its super premium price. TCL is almost certain that it will undermine that price.
It also says that the new mini -led background light has an adaptation and a faster update speed, which means that it reacts faster than the screen update speed, so the contrast control of the backlight will never be delayed what is supposed to be visible on the screen, reducing the mismatch between what should be a high and low brightness, and what actually actually is High and low brightness.
TCL also says that it is using a new type of quantum point technology in the panel, which means that 98% of the coverage of the DCI-P3 colors range, although we already measure the C855 TCL last year to 97.5%, so this is just a small step forward.
Anyway, that is all the theory, obviously, how well it works in practice should be tested in depth, but I saw the backlight of the next generation of TCL demonstrated in CES, and is certainly impressive.

So what will this mean for televisions in practice? I will take you through the complete list of models, but the big question that remains open is how big the difference between its different backlight will be.
TCL says that everyone uses the seventh generation panel, but depending on how exactly what lights contain as seventh generation is classifying, that could mean many different things.
From my brief introduction until now, I can already tell you that there are clear differences in the panel beyond the backlight: the C8K has richer and deeper black tones compared to the C6K because it uses an LCD panel ‘Crystglow Whva’ that improves dark tones and the benefits of reduced reflexes and the hack on the screen, which washes and elevates black tones.
Here is the list of televisions, with the key differences between them. Everyone comes with Google TV as their intelligent system, with two exceptions at the end.
TCL C8K
This is the 4K flagship television in the United Kingdom, although according to our experience with TCL C855 last year, the price can end up being tempting.
It comes in sizes of 65, 75, 85 and 98 inches, with up to 3,840 attenuation zones and 5,000 shine nits cited. It has the Crystglow panel, it is 144Hz, it has a Zeroborder design that reduces the bezels to the absolute minimum and the Bang and Olufsen Dolby Atmos speakers of 6.2.2 channels.
Prices:
- 65C8K-UK: £ 1,599
- 75C8K-UK: £ 1,999
- 85C8K-UK: £ 2,799
- 98C8K-UK: £ 4,799
TCL C7K
Here is the great medium range model, available in the largest range of sizes. This comes in sizes of 50, 55-, 65-, 75-, 85, 98 and 115 inches. It has a slightly different LCD panel from the C9K and C8K, and it is claimed that it reaches up to 3,000 brightness nits, with up to 2,880 attenuation zones. It has a Crystglow panel, but not the most advanced version.
This also has a B & O audio system, except the 115-inch model, which has an Onkyo 4.2.2-Canal system.
Prices:
- 50C7K-UK: £ 799
- 55C7K-UK: £ 999
- 65C7K-UK: £ 1,399
- 75C7K-UK: £ 1,799
- 85C7K-UK: £ 2,199
- 98C7K-UK: £ 4,299
- 115C7K-UK: £ 12,999
C6K TCL
The mini-dried budget model comes in sizes of 50, 55-, 65, 75, 85 and 98 inches. It has up to 512 attenuation zones, and TCL did not specify the expected HDR brightness of this, although we have tried the American model closest to this, the QM6K TCL, and reached 700 nits of brightness in a 10% window in the standard model. There is no Crystalglow panel here either.
They are 144Hz, and still admits all HDR formats, but the B & O speakers have been removed for an Onkyo Dolby Atmos sound system.
Prices:
- 55C6K-UK: £ 799
- 65C6K-UK: £ 999
- 75C6K-UK: £ 1,499
- 85C6K-UK: £ 1,899
- 98C6K-UK: £ 3,199
The rest of the range
Beyond these, TCL also has two QLED models. The P8K is available 55 inches to 98 inches, has an 144Hz update rate for games and has complete HDR support and Onkyo sound. It is basically the C6K without a background light directed by Mini, forming with regular LED.
The P7K comes in sizes of 43 inches to 85 inches and leaves a multi-HDR, 144Hz and the Onkyo sound system. He also uses a weaker image processor, but is still promoted as a QLED TV.
The P6K comes in sizes of 43 inches to 75 inches and drops the qled coating of the specifications.
The S5K is a complete HD TV with QLED and comes in sizes of 32 inches, 40 inches and 43 inches. And finally, the S4K is a 32 -inch Full HD QLED TV, with unclear differences with respect to the S5K. Both televisions come with Android TV, instead of Google TV.
We still have no prices for these models yet.
TCL also has two high -end television models that will not reach the United Kingdom, but will be available in the rest of Europe.
TCL X11K
This is the flagship model, available only in sizes of 85 and 98 inches, and No Available in the United Kingdom, although we look at any way. It has the most elaborate mini construction of the group, which offers up to 14,112 attenuation zones and up to 6,500 brightness nits.
It has audio developed by Bang & Olufsen, with a matrix of Dolby Atmos 6.2.2 channels. As with all the mini-read here, it admits 4k to 144Hz and both the Dolby Vision IQ and HDR10+ HDR formats.
TCL C9K
This will not be available in the United Kingdom, but it will be available in the rest of Europe. This is available in sizes of 65, 75 and 85 inches, and also promises a brightness of up to 6,500 nits, such as the X11K. However, you will have to sweep it with a maximum attenuation number of areas that reach merely 5,184-SUPPONSING THAT THIS USES 23 BIT retroilumination, which puts it in line with Sony Bravia 9 for specifications, except much brighter. It has the Crystglow panel.
Again, it is a 144Hz TV, with a B& -or 6.2 channel sound. It also has a ‘Zeroborder’ design, which means there is a new super thin bezel.
