TCL’s X11L TV promises to be bigger, brighter and more colorful

TCL unveils a single TV CES 2026the X11L, a large LCD screen that incorporates a Super Quantum Dot layer designed to deliver even better colors and searing brightness.

While a number of companies at this year’s conference, including LG and Samsung, are touting MicroRGB backlights for improving colors, TCL says its method allows for better contrast thanks to its unique backlighting system.

The 4K TV says the SQ-LED display combines three new “TCL Deep Color System” technologies to achieve 100% of the BT.2020 color space, including Super Quantum Dot (Super QLED) crystals, a TCL UltraColor filter and the TCL advanced color purity algorithm.

The company claims its TV is capable of reaching brightness of up to 10,000 nits, which, if accurate, would make it one of the brightest TVs ever made. The TV uses a MiniLED backlight with the company’s Halo Control system, designed to reduce backlight halo artifacts in high-contrast images.

The display features an Ultra WHVA 2.0 panel with an edge-to-edge anti-glare ZeroBorder that minimizes visible bezel. Additionally, the TV supports Dolby Vision IQ, HDR10+, HDR10 and HLG, includes a sound system from Bang and Olufsen and supports Dolby Atmos.

I had a brief practical with the QM8 and QM9. Still, when I set the TV to the usual Cinematographer mode, the colors were much less saturated and so I can’t (yet) speak to the accuracy or ability of the TV to meet a particular color standard.

The X11L will be available this month in 75-inch, 85-inch and 98-inch sizes.
