News from TCL atCES 2025is intemperately sharpen on the Modern QM6 K series TV — the first of what TCL is calling its Precise Dimming Series . Under TCL ’s “ phased serial publication launch scheme , ” the QM6 K is the TV for the first phase of that strategy .

Last twelvemonth , theQ6was the one remain Q serial TV from TCL that did n’t have miniskirt - LED . Now , in 2025 , the least expensive Q television from TCL also get the M in its name . But the QM6 K wo n’t just be impart mini - LED backlight technology . TCL has made multiple developments in its backlight tech , and it seems like the QM6 K will just be the first of the television receiver this twelvemonth to benefit .

TCL should also have the QM7 K on the show flooring when the CES doors loose on Tuesday morning . No spec detail are available beforehand , but we carry to have some more specific details once we get to the TCL cubicle . go by the 2025 naming scheme and its relation to last year , we think we can bet on a QM8 K at some point in 2025 ( although this was not confirmed by TCL ) . It sure enough wo n’t be at CES , though .

There are multiple parts to the overall improvement of TCL ’s performance rise , the first being a new chip — the Super High Energy light-emitting diode splintering — that increases brightness output by 53 % and light efficiency by 10 % ( liken to last twelvemonth ’s cow dung , that ’s a hefty increase voltage on an already effectual chip ) .

The second advance is how the light is focus . A new Condensed Micro Lens is an upgrade version of last year ’s Ultra full Angle Dual Focus Lens , which was design to improve weak outturn . This unexampled lens is said to allow for even more accurate abstemious track control .

TCL also has a redesigned backlight arrangement . It ’s decreased the optical aloofness — the space between the diffuser denture and the backlight — from 25 millimeters to 8 millimeters for what it ’s calling the TCL Micro OD . TCL say the closer distance “ virtually eliminates any aureole consequence , ” or blooming , as it ’s often referred to , for over 18 % better blooming ascendancy . In addition , backlight uniformity is improved by 143 % . The concept makes sense — have got the backlight that much closer to the diffusor plate permit for less stray light to go where it should n’t .

The fourth piece of the mystifier is the high demarcation CSOT HVA gore that does a better job of blocking visible radiation when the LCD is in its closed locating . TCL say it achieves a 7,000:1 static contrast ratio .

There are also some processing improvements related to the backlight technology , with TCL ’s Zero - Delay Transient Response creating “ virtually no lag between the comment signaling and the backlight response . ” Also , a new bidirectional 23 - bit backlight controller allows for fine dominance of over 65,000 levels of brightness — evocative of what we saw with theSony Bravia 9this class . It will be very interesting to see how the two engineering science might stack up against each other .

In addition to all of the new technology packed into the QM6 K — and presumably future TCL 2025 TVs — the TV has a 144Hz native refresh charge per unit , Dolby Vision IQ , Dolby Vision Filmmaker Mode , HDR10 + , HDR10 , HLG , Dolby Atmos , DTS Virtual :X , a hands - innocent voice system , and an Onkyo 2.1 verbaliser system , and it runs on the Google TV OS .

The TCL QM6 K is available for preorder now on tcl.com in the 65- , 75- , and 85 - inch size . Pricing for the three is $ 1,000 , $ 1,300 , and $ 2,000 , severally . If you preorder any of the three useable size of it , you ’ll also get a TCL Q75H soundbar for free . There ’s no word on when the preorders will ship .

In addition , pricing on the remaining sizes will be $ 750 for the 50 - in mannikin , $ 800 for the 55 - inch , and $ 3,500 for the 98 - inch big - cover model .

More Precise Dimming Series TVs will be coming later in 2025 . Hopefully , we ’ll get more detail to partake in as cerium begins .
