TCL's X11L Sets New Mini-LED Brightness Bar as $7,000 Flagship Lands

Independent tests confirm class-leading brightness at a luxury price.

Overview

  • The X11L’s SQD‑Mini‑LED panel delivered multi‑thousand‑nit highlights in reviews, with measurements reported well above 6,000 nits and up to 9,000 nits depending on test conditions.
  • Tom’s Guide testing cites wide color coverage from the new panel at 97.82% DCI‑P3 and 91.77% Rec.2020, with 11,000‑plus local dimming zones boosting HDR contrast.
  • The set includes four HDMI 2.1 ports, Google TV, Dolby Vision and HDR10+ support, variable refresh up to 144Hz, ATSC 3.0, and Bang & Olufsen‑tuned speakers noted for unusually strong built‑in audio.
  • Launch pricing lists the 75‑inch at $6,999 and the 85‑inch at $7,999, and the lineup is limited to 75‑, 85‑, and 98‑inch sizes.
  • Reviewers say the picture can look OLED‑like in many scenes yet still trails true pixel‑level blacks, flagging trade‑offs such as no anti‑reflective coating and steering most buyers toward better‑value rivals like LG’s G5, while Tom’s Guide frames the X11L as a leap over TCL’s 2025 QM9K and notes Mini‑RGB competitors are expected to claim 90%‑plus Rec.2020 coverage.
