TCL is preparing to launch its new Premium C7K QD-Mini LED TV in the Philippines. The television has already rolled out in markets such as the UK, Europe, and Australia. Authorized TCL dealers in the Philippines are expected to begin offering the model soon, although pricing and exact availability are still unconfirmed.

The TCL C7K features QD-Mini LED technology, which improves lighting control and color precision. The 55-inch variant comes with a 4K Ultra HD resolution of 3840 x 2160 pixels. TCL uses a CrystGlow HVA panel in this model, along with a 144Hz refresh rate and support for HDR formats including Dolby Vision and HDR10+.

The display supports up to 2048 local dimming zones and reaches a peak brightness of 2600 nits. The contrast ratio is listed at 26,000,000:1. These features aim to enhance both dark and bright scenes, making the TV suitable for a wide range of content types.

TCL includes its AiPQ Pro Processor in the C7K to handle content optimization and upscaling. For audio, the TV uses an ONKYO 4.2.2-channel sound system. It also supports Dolby Atmos to deliver multi-directional audio without requiring external speakers.

The TV runs on Google TV, providing access to major streaming platforms such as Netflix, Prime Video, YouTube, and Disney+. It supports hands-free voice control through Google Assistant. TCL also includes compatibility with Amazon Alexa and Apple AirPlay.

In terms of connectivity, it includes four HDMI ports, with one supporting HDMI 2.1 and eARC, two USB ports, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Ethernet. The design uses an ultra-slim metallic frame and supports VESA wall mounting.

The C7K series is available in a range of sizes from 50 inches to 115 inches. UK pricing for the 50-inch version starts at £799, while the largest model sells for up to £12,999. In Europe, the starting price for the 50-inch model is €899. TCL has not yet announced the official pricing for the Philippine market.

In related news, TCL recently unveiled the new QM8K TV. Know what sets it apart and why it’s positioned as a flagship offering.

TCL’s latest flagship TV, the QM8K series, is a bold refinement of its QD-Mini LED ambitions, and while its name might mislead some into thinking this is an 8K set, it’s a high-performance 4K display that pulls no punches when it comes to brightness, clarity, or premium design.

Available in sizes from 65 to 98 inches, the QM8K isn’t just about screen real estate; it’s TCL’s most technologically advanced TV to date, carrying the kind of refinements that might finally elevate it into the ultra-premium TV conversation.

Sharp Departure from the Past

Replacing last year’s QM851G, the QM8K brings several key upgrades, beginning with its CrystGlow WHVA panel, which addresses one of Mini LED’s long-standing flaws: poor viewing angles.

TCL’s proprietary WHVA (Wide Horizontal Viewing Angle) technology uses a sophisticated subpixel structure to reduce color shift and improve image uniformity when viewed off-axis. Combined with the brand’s new ZeroBorder design, which trims bezels down to just 3–4mm, the visual impact is both immersive and modern.

The QM8K is also brighter and more precise. It can hit 5,000 nits of peak HDR brightness and features up to 3,800 local dimming zones, making it TCL’s most aggressive attempt yet at rivaling OLED in dynamic range, but with the punchier highlights Mini LED is known for.

According to TCL, that’s 65% brighter than last year’s model and brings 35% more dimming zones, thanks to a new Halo Control System built around improved LEDs, a micro lens array, and dynamic backlight algorithms.

Processing That Thinks Ahead

TCL’s self-developed AiPQ Pro processor returns with even more intelligent tuning, now capable of adjusting contrast, color, and motion at the pixel level. The processor pairs with the new 23-bit Backlight Controller, enabling over 65,000 levels of brightness control per LED.

There’s also a Zero-Delay Transient Response that reduces input lag between signal and backlight, particularly useful for gamers who want minimal latency during fast-paced sessions.

Speaking of gaming, the QM8K comes armed with Game Accelerator 288, which unlocks up to 288Hz VRR in supported games at 1080p. The native 144Hz panel, combined with Auto Game Mode (ALLM) and AMD FreeSync Premium Pro, ensures silky gameplay with less tearing and ghosting.

TCL is also embracing Filmmaker Mode, letting movies play exactly as the creators intended, alongside Dolby Vision IQ, HDR10+, HLG, and IMAX Enhanced certification.

Audio, Finally Taken Seriously

TCL isn’t stopping at visuals. It’s also bringing in Bang & Olufsen to tune the QM8K’s sound system. The integrated speakers feature up-firing drivers and Dolby Atmos support, and they’re designed by the same engineers behind B&O’s iconic speaker lines. There’s also support for DTS Virtual:X, making the TV feel like a legitimate all-in-one home theater system.

Notably, the QM8K introduces FlexConnect, a wireless surround solution that pairs seamlessly with supported speakers to eliminate messy cable setups. It’s a forward-looking move, especially as more consumers turn to cleaner, minimalist home setups.

Smarter and Better Connected

Running on Google TV, the QM8K feels familiar but smarter. There’s voice assistant support built-in (Google Assistant, Alexa, and Apple HomeKit), plus AirPlay 2 and Google Cast compatibility.

TCL also throws in a new Art Mode, complete with 350+ curated artworks and AI-generated pieces, turning your blank screen into a digital gallery.

Connectivity is future-ready too. You get four HDMI ports (with eARC), USB 3.0, Wi-Fi 6, and ATSC 3.0 (NextGen TV) for OTA 4K HDR content.

Premium, but Not Out of Reach

The 65-inch QM8K starts at $2,299.99, while the 85-inch model comes in at $3,799.99. A 75-inch version priced at $2,999.99 and a massive 98-inch variant for $6,499.99 will arrive later in June.

These prices firmly place the QM8K in the high-end TV bracket, yet TCL still undercuts some of its rivals like Samsung and Sony, especially when comparing panel size and feature set.

RayNeo, a TCL-backed company, is back with its sleekest AR wearables yet. The new Air 3s and Air 3s Pro AR glasses officially launched in China today, blending high-end display tech with comfort-focused design at prices starting from 1499 yuan (roughly $205).

Both glasses weigh just 76 grams, and yet they’re packed with hardware you’d usually expect from a much heftier device. Each model features a 0.6-inch 5.5th-gen dual-layer Micro-OLED panel per eye.

These are the same kind of high-end panels used in Apple’s latest iPad Pro, which is notable not just for the name-drop, but for the implications: a peak brightness of 1200 nits, a razor-sharp contrast ratio of 200,000:1, and vivid color coverage with 145% sRGB and 98% DCI-P3. Even color accuracy gets an upgrade, with a reported ΔE < 2, making it viable for more than just Netflix and gaming.

RayNeo’s second-generation Peacock Optical Engine drives the visual experience on both models. It’s a self-developed lens system that now includes a revised light path design, reducing glare by 15% and boosting clarity and immersion.

Users can toggle between five preset color modes: Standard, Movie, Game, Eye Care, and High Brightness, to match their environment or use case. There’s also 3840Hz high-frequency PWM dimming for better eye comfort, and TÜV Rheinland certifications for low blue light and flicker-free visuals.

The Air 3s Pro takes things a step further with an enhanced audio setup. It adds a 3D surround sound system and a “Whisper Mode” designed for private listening. Both versions feature a quad-speaker design tuned by TCL’s in-house acoustic engineers, paired with 11-level volume controls and a 0.7mm speaker stroke with phase cancellation. It’s surprisingly robust audio for something that rests lightly on your face.

Interactivity and comfort are also key design pillars. Both models include an accelerometer, gyroscope, proximity sensor, and geomagnetic sensor to support movement detection and adaptive visuals. Temple arms are adjustable across nine levels, while the front-to-rear weight distribution has been carefully tuned to reduce nose pressure during extended use. Vision correction is supported too, with lens options for up to 1000 degrees of myopia and 800 degrees of hyperopia.

Device compatibility is generous. The glasses connect via USB-C to over 1000 supported devices, including Android smartphones, tablets, laptops, and even game consoles like the Nintendo Switch and PlayStation.

For more universal setups, RayNeo is also selling a new HDMI adapter with built-in power support, priced at 299 yuan ($42), or 199 yuan ($28) when bundled with the glasses.

The Air 3s Pro includes a few bonuses out of the box, a charging adapter and a light-blocking front shield to enhance viewing in brighter environments. Both models come bundled with a carrying case, cleaning cloth, user guide, USB-C cable, and warranty card.

In related news, TCL also unveiled the RayNeo X3 Pro microLED AR glasses earlier today with support for real-time translation.
