The new TCL's 8-Series is the first range of LCD TVs to use a backlight made up of a large number of smaller Mini-LEDs, 25000 in case of the 75" version. Marketed as Quantum Contrast, TCL says it offers 'the stunning ability to produce brilliant whites shining next to deep blacks and now sets a new benchmark for LCD TVs to directly take on high-contrast OLED TVs in delivering a superior overall viewing experience'.
Quantum Contrast according to the manufacturer yields a major improvement in picture performance with advantages over traditional TVs that have standard LED technology, including a significant jump in total TV brightness, substantial increase in Contrast Control Zones, better known as local dimming zones, smoother and improved even light distribution throughout the screen, enhanced uniform reproduction of color across the screen, wider viewing angles and a slimmer design.
Because contrast performance is so fundamental to strong TV picture performance, a completely new contrast technology has been developed and is being deployed for the first time in the 2019 8-Series TCL Roku TV models. Quantum Contrast is technology powered by newly developed high-performance mini-LED back-lights. A new standard in TV performance is being defined with more than 25,000 individual mini-LEDs powering the 75" 8-Series TV, compared to only a few hundred traditional LEDs found in standard big-screen TVs.
In addition to the mini-led large dimming zone count series 8, the 8 and 6 series use Quantum Dot (QLED) color technology for even wider and more vibrant performance. resulting in a measured 100% color volume in the DCI-P3 Hollywood reference color space. The QLED color technology in both 8-Series and 6-Series will deliver deeply saturated reds, stunning greens and spectacular blues without the limitations of lower color volume or shorter life found in other color technologies, TCL claims.
The new 8- and 6-Series Roku TV models are engineered to push the boundaries of HDR and support Dolby Vision HDR technology. In addition the TVs also offer Dolby (virtual) multichannel audio, Atmos.
Atmos audio delivers an object-based surround-sound experience where sounds are precisely assigned to any position around or above the listener. 8- and 6-Series TVs can produce a powerfully moving experience by creating a virtual surround effect using the exact position of each sound within an Atmos audio stream.
The TCL 8-Series will be available this fall in a 65" 4K resolution model (65Q825) for $1999 and in a 75" 4K resolution model (75Q825) for $2999. 8K resolution models will be available in screen sizes of 75" and larger soon, the manufacturer promises in a statement.
The TCL 6-Series will be available this summer starting at under $600, with the 55" offering 100 contrast zones. The TCL Roku TV 5-Series combines a premium FullView bezel-less design with the latest technologies to power an impactful 4K HDR experience. The 2019 5-series will be available this summer in 43", 50", 55" and 65" models starting under $300.
