CES: TCL 115-Inch Mini-LED TV Has 20,000 Dimming Zones

TCL’s new 115-inch mini-LED television is drawing crowds at CES 2024, where it’s garnering notice for its 20,000 local dimming zones and 5,000 nits peak brightness. The IMAX Enhanced TV has a 120Hz QLED display panel with anti-glare coating. The model, TCL QM891G, also features built-in 6.2.2-channel Dolby Atmos speakers and an ATSC 3.0 tuner for NextGen TV broadcasts. TCL says its new smart TV is 2.5 times brighter than any currently available television. The company also debuted two other mini-LED TVs (at 75-98 inches) and a pair of new QLEDs (43-98 inches). All of them offer 4K resolution.

“TVs are big news at CES 2024, and one of the biggest TVs to be found at this year’s show is the TCL QM891G,” reports TechRadar, which says “TCL’s ultra-large TV category grew 600 percent for the company in 2023.”

With screen sizes that often soar past 98 inches, “mini-LED TVs are now providing a formidable alternative to the best 4K projectors, and one that’s bright enough to easily be used for viewing in well-lit rooms,” TechRadar adds.

TCL’s 2024 TV lineup continues to include the S Class designation for smart TVs (available in 43-inch to 85-inch screen sizes) and Q Class for QLED TV (43 to 98 inches).  The premium QD Mini LED falls within the Q Class, but its specs are excepted from the Q and S models’ up to 5,000 local dimming zones with peak brightness of up to 5,000 nits.

“For the first time, TCL’s S Class also features a new TCL AiPQ Processor with AI Super Resolution to ensure the S5’s bright colorful images are also sharp and clear,” TCL says in an announcement.

In addition, S5 models include HDR PRO+ with both Dolby Vision and HDR10+ for more vivid images. The S5 adds AI processing for things like the Enhanced Dialog Mode, which “analyzes a scene’s audio content, isolates speech, and makes the sound clearer,” ZDNet notes. TV as Center Channel Mode can “ensure easy listening, even with loud content,” TCL says.

TCL’s Q Class gets Quantum Dot Technology for rich QLED color. The first new series, TCL’s Q6, adds the High Brightness Plus LED Backlight, which ups the brightness by 28 percent, TCL says.

Q6 models larger than 85 inches and larger Q6 models come with a native 120Hz Panel Refresh Rate “so  gamers can step up to Game Accelerator 240 for blistering fast 240 VRR gaming on a big screen TV, per TCL.
