TCL, a Chinese electronics brand founded in 1985, has unveiled its 2026 television lineup, featuring models equipped with advanced technologies like mini-LED and QLED. The high-end C9K series, for instance, includes a 65-inch model with a 7th-generation QD-Mini LED Ultra HD panel, offering a peak brightness of up to 3468 cd/m² on 10% of the screen. This model supports gaming features like 144 Hz refresh rate, low latency, and VRR/FreeSync Premium Pro. It also includes four HDMI 2.1 ports, Wi-Fi 6, and Bluetooth 5.4, along with a Google TV operating system and an AiPQ Pro processor for improved image quality. The audio system is designed by Bang & Olufsen, delivering rich sound with a power output of 90 W. The TCL 65C7K model, another highlight of the lineup, features a 7th-generation QD-Mini LED panel that provides precise color reproduction and controlled contrast. It includes four HDMI ports, two of which support 2.1 standards, enabling 4K/144 Hz gaming and features like VRR and FreeSync. The Bang & Olufsen audio system offers clear and wide sound, though its spatialization is slightly limited due to the absence of upper speakers. The Google TV interface is praised for its smooth operation and ease of use. The design of the 65C7K is modern and functional, with smart cable management and flexible mounting options, making it suitable for integration into contemporary living spaces. Its energy efficiency is noted as reasonable, even in HDR modes, and it provides excellent value for money within TCL’s product range. The NXTFrame series includes the NXTFrame A300 Pro, which features an LCD panel with Quantum Dots for vibrant colors and a T-Screen Pro anti-reflective filter to reduce glare. It supports various HDR formats like HLG, HDR10+, and Dolby Vision IQ. The model offers a Delta E of 2.33, indicating accurate color representation, and a color temperature of 6877 K. While its peak brightness is relatively low at 441 cd/m² on a full screen, the image quality is enhanced by rich detail in content. The model is suitable for gaming, supporting VRR, ALLM, and FreeSync Premium with an input lag of 13.2 ms. It is available in 55, 65, and 75-inch sizes, priced at 1,090 euros, 1,490 euros, and 1,890 euros respectively. The C89B series continues the legacy of the C845 model with a more refined design and premium finishes. It features a QLED panel combining an LCD and Quantum Dots for enhanced color performance. The AiPQ 3.0 Pro processor ensures consistent image quality. The C89B is available in sizes ranging from 65 to 98 inches, starting at 1,399 euros. It shows improved peak brightness in HDR, reaching 2143 cd/m² in Film mode. However, color temperature in SDR mode appears colder than expected. It supports 144 Hz gaming with a 14.7 ms delay and offers a Google TV system with good performance, though its audio system still falls short of a dedicated soundbar. TCL’s 2026 lineup spans a wide range of sizes, from 32 inches up to 115 inches. The premium Mini LED series, including models like X11L, C8L, and C7L, is available in sizes starting from 55 inches up to 115 inches. The lifestyle-oriented NXTVision series (A400, A400 Pro) ranges from 32 to 98 inches. The brand has expanded its offerings significantly in larger sizes, with 26 models available in 75, 85, 98, and 115-inch sizes. TVs sold in France come with a two-year warranty, managed by partner retailers, and TCL provides a home pickup service for devices under warranty. The Google TV system, used across many models, offers access to streaming platforms, personalized recommendations, and some models even include Android 14 and the Gemini assistant for voice navigation.
