TCL has introduced its flagship X11L SQD-Mini LED Series at CES 2026. The new X11L flagship series features TCL’s new Deep Color System with Super Quantum Dots, the CSOT UltraColor Filter, and the advanced Color Purity Algorithm. It also features an enhanced Halo Control System with discrete dimming zones and peak brightness.
At the heart of TCL’s new SQD-Mini LED technology is the CSOT WHVA 2.0 Ultra Panel. The W is for Wide Color Viewing Angle, HVA provides High Static Contrast (up to 7000:1), Ultra adds the unique ZeroBorder and an Anti-Reflective Layer that helps increase contrast, and 2.0 is for the new TCL Deep Color System — a three-part system with Super Quantum Dots, the CSOT UltraColor Filter, and the Advanced Color Purity Algorithm. This is the new Ultimate LCD Panel.
SQD Mini-LED achieves 100% of BT2020 color, minimizing color artifacts such as “Color Crosstalk,” otherwise known as “Color Blooming,” which can happen with RGB-Mini LED TV technology. The X11L Series also incorporates up to 20,000 discrete dimming zones — more than three times the premium TCL QM9K — to create deep black levels. In addition, X11L includes up to 10,000 peak nits brightness.
Because great hardware needs great processing, X11L steps up to the new 26-bit backlight controller, that’s significantly improved for 2026. This is alongside the enhanced Halo Control System with a further minimized Micro OD, shadowless uniform light supports, and new shadow detail optimization, resulting in an all-new level of Precise Dimming that produces even deeper black levels. TCL has also upgraded to the new TSR AI Processor. This TCL Super Resolution AI processor ensures accuracy in every area by leveraging enhanced AI color, AI contrast, AI clarity, AI motion, AI upscaling, and AI sound.
For great sound, worthy of the great picture, TCL includes Audio by Bang & Olufsen. Also, for the first time, consumers can add an optional wireless subwoofer, without having to buy an audio system or soundbar. If speakers are desired later to further elevate the audio experience, users can add two TCL Dolby Atmos FlexConnect speakers for rear surround, and an additional two as wide or side surrounds.
All of X11L’s innovations are housed in a new elegant, UltraThin cabinet that is only 0.8 inches deep and has a completely flat back, so it hangs on the wall like art. Plus, Art Mode and Art Gallery are included.
