When it come to genuinely monumental CRT screen sizes of 110 inches or big , it ’s operose to beatmicroLED . And when it comes to microLED , it seems it will be very heavy to flummox TCL . After showing off what we think was a prototype 163 - column inch microLED television atCES 2024 , the companionship appears to have turned it into a substantial product — dub the X11H Max — which it will shortly start sell for the equivalent of $ 111,300 ( 799,999 yuan ) , grant to technical school publishing , ITHome .

That ’s a goodly price shred , but as other observer have noted , it really makes the TCL X11H Max the most affordable microLED TV so far . According to itsU.S. website , Samsung ’s 2022 110 - column inch model still cost $ 150,000 , while LG ’s 136 - column inch Magnit microLED sells for areported $ 299,999 . Suddenly , $ 111,300 does n’t vocalise so bad .

Not that most of you will be capable to take vantage of TCL ’s exceptional pricing : for the mo , the X11H Max is a China - only example .

But hopefully , that will exchange in the near future because this TV boasts some noteworthy specs . The obvious highlighting is its sizing . At 163 diagonal inches , this 4 honey oil telly stands roughly 80 inches marvelous . That ’s 200 centimetre , or , as I like to consider about it , one Darth Vader .

It can reach an orb - searing 10,000 nit of peak brightness , which push the theoretic limits of manyHDR formatsand can apparently reproduce 22 - morsel color . We ’re not entirely sure how that work or if we ’ll ever see picture content in 22 - bit coloration , watch as most HDR data format crest out at 12 - bit .

The gargantuan screen also has some impressive sound system choice . Out of the box seat , it runs a 6.2.2 - channel arrangement , but that can reportedly be expanded into a 7.1.4 - channel answer ( though why we lose a down in the mouth - frequency effects channel in this scenario is unreadable ) .

As is the case with top-notch - large microLED display , the X11H Max is assembled from small show modules , so there might be the tiniest amount of perceptible seams between the panel . TCL claims that the response time for these panel is 0.03 msec , which is outrageously riotous when you consider that LG ’s OLED — already faster than the eye can notice — pin grass in at a claimed 1 millisecond .

MicroLED and organic light-emitting diode are similar in that both grow double-dyed blacks because each pixel is ego - illuminating , and thus , they do n’t demand a backlight . However , microLED can get far lustrous without damaging its components , and its modular nature means there ’s theoretically no limit to how big a microLED video display can get ( other than your paries and your wallet ) .
