Consumer electronics brand TCL just launched their latest flagship, and it’s not one to miss.
On May 22, TCL Malaysia launched their flagship C8K Premium QD-Mini LED TV as part of their fourth and latest generation of LED TVs.
Held in Vivatel Hotel Kuala Lumpur, the launch showcased the brand’s latest QD-Mini LED TVs, air conditioners, refrigerators, and washing machines, as well as its latest AI-powered smart home ecosystem.
During the event, TCL Malaysia also announced that the company now holds the top spot in three rankings by market analyst company, Omdia.
From the list, TCL ranks first in the Ultra-large Screen TV, Mini-LED TV and Google TV categories by the 2024 shipment market share. These milestones mark significant progress in TCL’s global growth and continued investment in display innovation.
Indeed, with global TV sales of 29 million units in 2024, TCL has positioned itself as a global technology leader; now they’re pushing the industry forward by investing in research and development for new technologies, five of which are now brought to the masses with their latest flagship TV.
1. Even smaller bezels!
With the C8K Premium, TCL introduces Virtually ZeroBorder, a design form pushing the limits of current technology with an ultra-narrow 3-4 mm bezel, providing a wider field of view and immersive viewing experience.
A step up from their previous generations of LED TVs, the C8K Premium pushes it further with a near nil black border, enhancing both the aesthetic and practical qualities of the display.
Developed using high-end materials and precision manufacturing, the design is backed by 22 patented technologies that improve manufacturing and reduce borders to deliver a sleek, modern look to the TV for a highly versatile viewing experience, whether you’re opting for the 65-inch model or the whopping 98-inch one.
2. Brighter than your future
Aside from their ZeroBorder, TCL takes it even further with their Precise Dimming Series of up to 3840 zones, offering a high level of contrast and color gamut comparable to an OLED display, while also providing higher peak brightness and a longer lifespan.
Further, with TCL’s proprietary All-domain Halo Control Technology, this new generation of light-emitting chips make the light shape of individual zones much more refined, and its halo control ability is several times that of ordinary zones, delivering viewers an incredible level of brightness, contrast, and clarity.
With a peak brightness of 4,500 nits and its QLED display utilising Colourful Quantum Crystals, TCL has pulled out all the stops, showcasing stunning colour accuracy with more than a billion hues of vivid colour.
From the CrystGlow WHVA panel offering an impressive native contrast ratio of up to 7,000:1, and TCL’s QD-Mini LED technology combining the merits of QLED and OLED technologies, this new flagship TV is sure to provide you with the quality and clarity you need, whether you’re binging Netflix shows or watching a football game with the mates.
3. Sound that speaks volumes
Now sure, the visuals are incredible, but what’s a cinematic experience without equally stunning audio?
That’s where Audio by Bang & Olufsen steps in. Known for redefining sound since 1925, Bang & Olufsen lends their renowned audio engineering to the C8K Premium, marking a new high in TV sound design. The same expert hands that craft their iconic speakers have tuned the acoustics here, delivering pure, lifelike audio that’s as immersive as the visuals.
The C8K’s Hi-END surround speaker system fills your space with rich detail, warm tones, and a true sense of dimension, whether you’re deep in a movie score or feeling every beat of your playlist.
And with Beosonic technology, you get full control over your soundscape—just glide your finger across the intuitive interface to instantly shift moods and tailor your listening experience to your specific preference, with the help of a popular tool nowadays, AI.
4. AI integration for smarter performance
There’s a lot of talk about how much AI makes things faster, smoother and better, and the AI in the C8K Premium is no different, bringing more efficient searches and display quality improvements.
Armed with TCL AiPQ Processor 3.0, the TV leverages deep learning and real-time scene recognition to optimise brightness, contrast, and colour dynamically, giving you tailored viewing every time you turn it on.
Add in voice control, seamless Google TV integration, and smart home compatibility, and you’ve got a TV that doesn’t just look smart—it is smart, making any TV-based task smoother and more efficient, whether as an external monitor or for gaming.
5. A tailored gaming experience
The C8K Premium also features an adaptive game screen feature for consoles giving a customised screen design for an immersive gaming experience, and the gamebar integrates many graphics and game modes, allowing you to make personalised game settings before your gaming sesh.
Additionally, with 4K 144Hz VRR (Variable Refresh Rate) and AMD FreeSync Premium Pro, the flagship TV gives you fluid, tear-free gaming experiences with minimal input lag; so, whether you’re climbing leaderboard ranks or just vibing in your favourite open-world game, you’ll get smooth graphics with ultra-fast response.
Pioneering the industry
With the C8K Premium, TCL isn’t just showing off a new TV—they’re introducing new technologies to the average household, while redefining what a flagship TV should be.
From its ultra-slim ZeroBorder design and breathtaking QD-Mini LED visuals, to cinematic-grade audio by Bang & Olufsen and AI-powered smart features, every inch of this TV is designed to impress, whether you’re a movie buff, gamer, or just someone who wants their living room to look like the future.
In a market crowded with choices, TCL has made a bold statement: premium doesn’t have to mean exclusive, and innovation doesn’t have to come with compromise.
