TCL is introducing its new QM6K TV Series at CES 2025 this week in Las Vegas, which comes from the company’s own Pangu Lab in China.
The TV includes the new Super High Energy LED chip, which TCL says increases brightness output by more than 53% and increases light efficiency by 10%. A new Condensed Micro Lens, upgraded from the 2024 UWA Dual Arch Lens, uses specially formulated optical materials that the company says provides “enhanced stability and a narrower light path for more precise light control.”
A redesigned backlight system further reduces optical distance, or OD, between the backlight and diffuser plate, creating the new TCL Micro OD. Minimized optical distance virtually eliminates any halo effect, also known as blooming, and creates clear, sharp edges, even between the brightest white and darkest black. This feature helps provide a 143% improvement in backlight uniformity, and over an 18% improvement in blooming control, says TCL.
TCL’s enhanced QD-Mini LED backlight technology works in conjunction with a high contrast CSOT HVA Panel that has a better dark state to block out more of the light when the LCD closes, providing up to 7,000:1 static contrast. Further, TCL has incorporated new Quantum Dot Technology with more vibrant Quantum Crystals to render over one billion colours, with up to 98%+ of DCI-P3 colour gamut, providing 100,000 high quality viewing hours. A new Color Optimization Algorithm has also been created to ensure that TCL’s new TVs better activate rich colour.
TCL is als adding several new processing advancements for 2025. The first is Zero-Delay Transient Response, for virtually no lag between the input signal and backlight response. This feature helps create higher peak brightness without any after image. TCL has also upgraded to a Bi-directional 23-bit Backlight Controller, allowing granular control of over 65,000 levels of brightness for each LED. In addition, TCL includes a new Dynamic Light Algorithm, which intelligently optimizes the incoming video signal so that SDR signals render at near HDR level. All these hardware and processing advancements combine to create the new TCL Halo Control Technology Suite.
Powered by the new Halo Control Technology Suite, the TCL QM6K, which offers a new Halo Control System, up to LD500 precise dimming with high HDR brightness, 144Hz native refresh rate, Game Accelerator 288, TCL AiPQ Pro processor, Dolby Vision IQ (Plus HDR10+, HDR10, HLG, and the NEW DLA), Dolby Atmos, DTS Virtual:X, IMAX Enhanced & AMD FreeSync certifications, Dolby Vision Filmmaker Mode, Sleep Sounds Mode, Hands-Free Voice Control, Onkyo 2.1 speaker system, Google TV, and a slimmer FullView 360 bezel-less design.
TCL’s QM6K Series will be available in a 50” screen size for an MSRP of US$750, 55” for US$800, 65” for US$1,000, 75” for US$1,300, 85” for US$2,000, and an XXL 98” big screen for US$3,500. The 65”, 75” and 85” QM6K models are available now for preorder at www.tcl.com and will come with a complimentary TCL Q75H sound bar.
There are more TCL Precise Dimming Series TVs to come.
