TCL EU Lineup release
Me and u/pricelesslambo flew to Paris for the new release of TCL Lineup of their EU ( and everywhere outside of North America) for the year 2026. We had the privilege of being able to compare their lineup with regular miniLED TVs, QD-OLED and RGB MiniLED TVs from other manufacturers (TCL also had an RGB MiniLED on display).
Unfortunately we weren’t allowed to take pictures in the PQ room. But here is the info we could gather and our first impressions. The new lineup focuses in one line of product in particular: SQD Minileds
What is SQD Miniled?
We had the opportunity to compare the colors to many technologies, as stated earlier and the colors are no joke. They are absolutely competing RGB miniLEDs in terms of color volume. One big advantage of SQD miniLEDs is the presence of a white LED backlight. A flaw everyone could notice at the event is since RGB miniLEDs only have Red Green and Blue LEDs is that if you have a small white portion in the image surround by colors is that colors will bleed in the white portion of the image resulting in a colored white instead of pure white. The SQD MiniLED is also supposed to bring a 33% improvement in color gamut performance and is supposed to cover 100% of BT2020 color space. Not something we were able to test, unfortunately.
Also, we were able to compare many scenes compared to flagship TVs (the A95L was one of them) and TCL’s local dimming was very impressive. Suppressing almost all blooming and keeping the same details as the A95L. As for color accuracy, all TVs were in standard mode so we cannot speak on that front. Other than the A95L, The TCL SQD Mini-LED looked the best out of the 5 TVs on display.
Also we couldn’t test processing, upscaling and motion handling. This was a press release after all.
So here are the specs for the main EU/Asia lineup of TCL releases this year:
X11L:
Up to 10000 nits and up to 20000 dimming zones on the largest size available.
Available in 75-85-98in. The TV also looks really slick being only 2cm thick. Almost no bezels either.
C8L:
C7L:
Brightness up to 3000nits, up to 2176 dimming zones
Available in 65-75-85-98in
They will also have a RGB miniLED lineup, but unfortunately not much info was given for these models as TCL focuses on their SQD lineup.
The RGB MiniLEDs model will be The RM9L and RM7L
RM9L
85in – 4000 nits 8736 Colour zones*
98in – 6000 nits 11520 Colour zones*
115in – 9000 nits 16848 Colour zones*
RM7L – all models are 2000 nits
65in – 1344 Colour zones*
75in – 1800 Colour zones*
85in – 2160 Colour zones*
98in – 2880 Colour zones*
*1 dimming zone = 3 colour zones. Each zone has to support 3 LEDS instead of one so zones don’t work like on regular miniLEDs.
Feel free to ask questions If you have any
