TCL Z100 Wireless Dolby Atmos FlexConnect Speaker Announced in Europe

TCL Z100 wireless speaker has finally made it to European countries. The Z100, developed in collaboration with Dolby, is the first speaker to support Dolby Atmos FlexConnect, offering a wireless home theater setup without the need for HDMI cables or fixed speaker placement.
The Z100 is designed to work with TCL’s latest Mini LED TVs, including the C6K, C7K, C8K, C9K, and X11K series. It supports Dolby Atmos FlexConnect, which intelligently adjusts the audio output based on the room’s layout and the exact positioning of the speakers. This allows the speakers to be placed freely around the room, even at different heights or in asymmetrical setups, while the system automatically calibrates to optimize sound delivery based on their placement.
Each Z100 speaker outputs up to 170W of power in a 1.1.1 configuration. The internal setup includes two front-firing drivers, a vertically angled speaker tilted at 15 degrees, and a built-in subwoofer. The result is immersive surround sound without the need for wired setups or complex installations.
Consumers can use two, three, or four Z100 units depending on room size and listening preferences. The system allows pairing with TV speakers to simulate Dolby Atmos setups up to 7.1.4 channels. TCL confirmed that the QM6K, QM7K, and QM8K TV series will also support FlexConnect via a software update. This update will allow those models to integrate with Z100 units seamlessly.
Bluetooth connectivity is also available for standalone music playback, allowing a single Z100 to function as a wireless speaker. When paired with the optional Z100-SW subwoofer, the system delivers 130W of additional bass output. TCL designed the Z100 for flexibility and expansion, offering the option to start with one or two units and add more over time.
The Z100 features a compact vertical form factor and a sleek metallic black finish. It blends modern aesthetics with professional-grade audio engineering. The device targets users who want a clutter-free surround experience without compromising on audio fidelity.
TCL introduced the Z100 in China for ¥1,499 (approximately $210). The speaker will be available in France starting July 2025, with launches in additional European countries anticipated afterward. Specific pricing and availability details will be announced at the time of release.

Hisense G7 Ultra monitor unveiled with 1152-zone Mini LED, 4K 160Hz/1080p 320Hz modes

Hisense has announced the G7 Ultra gaming monitor in China, a 27-inch display designed for high-end gaming and professional content creation. The monitor will launch on September 26, with pre-orders now open across major platforms in China.
Hisense G7 Ultra Specifications
The G7 Ultra features a 4K FAST IPS panel and a 1152-zone Mini LED backlight system. This configuration enables precise brightness control and minimizes blooming. The panel reaches a peak brightness of 2000 nits and carries HDR1400 certification. Hisense has equipped the screen with its Obsidian Screen technology, which reduces reflectivity to just 1.8 percent and maintains visual clarity in bright environments.
The monitor supports two refresh rate modes. It runs at 160Hz in 4K resolution and 320Hz in 1080p mode. It also supports FreeSync Premium and achieves a 1ms GTG response time. An AM driving chip manages each dimming zone to improve contrast and detail uniformity. Hisense has also included a custom halo-control algorithm, adapted from its Mini LED TVs, to maintain consistent brightness across the panel.
Color performance is a major focus. The G7 Ultra covers 99 percent of DCI-P3, 99 percent of sRGB, 100 percent of Adobe RGB, and 85 percent of BT.2020. The monitor achieves ΔE<2 color accuracy and includes a quantum dot film layer to enhance color vibrancy. It supports 10-bit color depth (8+FRC).
For connectivity, the G7 Ultra includes HDMI 2.1, DisplayPort 2.1, USB-C with 90W power delivery, USB-A, USB-B, and a headphone jack. The USB-C port supports KVM switching and reverse charging. The monitor also features DC dimming and blue light reduction modes.
Hisense uses a Moon Shadow Gray finish for the chassis. The stand supports height, tilt, swivel, rotation adjustments, and VESA mounting. Hisense includes a factory calibration report, multiple cables, and a three-year on-site service warranty.

TCL SQD-Mini LED Tech Explained: New Benchmark for Mini LED Displays

TCL SQD-Mini LED (Super Quantum Dot Mini LED) technology is the company’s most ambitious evolution of Mini LED to date. Debuting with the flagship X11L series, this new display tech is designed to overcome the limitations of conventional RGB-Mini LED systems by delivering better color accuracy, more efficient light control, and higher brightness, all while allowing for ultra-slim TV designs.
In traditional RGB-Mini LED setups, backlighting is achieved using red, green, and blue LEDs grouped together to form white light. While this allows for rich colors, it comes with downsides—namely, the potential for color bleeding, limited zone density due to complex layouts, and inconsistent performance when rendering mixed-color scenes.
SQD-Mini LED solves this by switching to a single-type blue LED light source, which passes through a high-density layer of upgraded quantum dots. These dots convert the blue light into red and green wavelengths, which are then blended to produce full-spectrum white light. The result is purer, more stable colors with minimal distortion.
Unlike RGB-Mini LED, which achieves only localized high color gamut (often peaking at around 97% BT.2020), TCL’s SQD-Mini LED panel delivers a true global high color gamut, reaching 100% BT.2020 across the entire screen. It maintains consistent accuracy whether the scene is monochromatic or multi-colored. Because each pixel’s color generation process remains uniform, there’s no shift or compromise during complex scenes.
This architecture also makes the backlight more compact and thermally efficient. A single chip can replace a cluster of three RGB LEDs, allowing more dimming zones within the same area. In the case of the X11L, the 98-inch version reaches 20,736 zones—an industry-leading figure. Brightness is another strong point, with peak levels hitting 10,000 nits, ideal for true HDR playback.
SQD-Mini LED also enables thinner TVs. The X11L is just 2cm thick, making it the slimmest Mini LED TV ever. In short, TCL’s SQD-Mini LED is not just a refinement of Mini LED; it’s a full-stack rethinking designed to rival OLED in color precision while surpassing it in brightness and durability.

TCL Launches World’s First SQD-Mini LED TV with Record-Breaking Brightness and Color

TCL has launched its flagship X11L series alongside Q9M and Q10M Ultra at the 2025 Mini LED TV Autumn Launch Event in China. The company describes it as the new “king of TVs” and the first to feature its proprietary SQD-Mini LED display technology. This panel promises purer color output and higher backlight precision compared to conventional RGB-Mini LED solutions.
The X11L series is available in three sizes. The 75-inch model is priced at 19,999 yuan ($2,800), the 85-inch version costs 34,999 yuan ($4,900) and features 14,400 local dimming zones, while the top-end 98-inch model comes in at 59,999 yuan (~$8,400) and boasts 20,736 dimming zones.
TCL X11L Mini LED TV Specifications
The 98-inch variant features a 4K panel with a peak brightness of 10,000 nits. It supports HDR formats including Dolby Vision, HDR10+, HDR10, HLG, and IMAX Enhanced. The display covers 100% of the BT.2020 color gamut and delivers professional-grade color accuracy with a ΔE value of less than 0.99. TCL uses a “butterfly wing” LCD layer with low-reflection coatings to improve contrast and viewing angles while keeping the body thickness at just 2 cm.
TCL has equipped the X11L with the MediaTek 9655+ chipset, paired with 4GB RAM and 128GB storage. The TV supports 4K 144Hz input through four HDMI 2.1 full-bandwidth ports. Other connectivity options include USB 3.0, USB 2.0, LAN, AV-in, RF input, and optical audio out. Wi-Fi 6 is built-in.
For audio, it uses a custom speaker system tuned by Bang & Olufsen. It includes dual woofers, a center channel, and front-firing drivers designed for clean and dynamic sound.
The X11L runs TCL’s Lingkong System 3.0, which features a clean card-style UI, no boot ads, and support for AI voice control, NAS media playback, and education tools. Each unit ships with a magnetic wall mount and tabletop stand.
