TCL turned CES into a preview of tomorrow as it rolled out a sweeping lineup of world-first display technologies and AI-driven products at CES 2026, reinforcing its position as the global leader in Mini LED and ultra-large TVs. From jaw-dropping screen innovations to intelligent home solutions, the company showcased how advanced visuals and artificial intelligence are converging to reshape everyday living.
At the heart of TCL’s CES showcase is the global debut of SQD-Mini LED Technology, a major leap forward that redefines how light is controlled on screen. By transforming traditional local dimming into a Precise Dimming Series, the new system delivers sharper contrast, deeper blacks, and striking highlights with unprecedented accuracy.
Combined with TCL’s Super QLED technology and an Ultra Color Filter Panel, the result is longer panel life, higher peak brightness, and more stable, ultra-wide color performance that elevates realism across every scene.
Leading this new era is the TCL X11L, the world’s first TV powered by SQD-Mini LED. Designed for uncompromising visual impact, it delivers up to 100 percent BT.2020 all-scene wide color gamut and is built on CSOT’s WHVA 2.0 Ultra Panel for stronger contrast and finer detail.
With up to 20,736 precise dimming zones and brightness reaching 10,000 nits, HDR content appears intensely vivid yet naturally balanced. Its nearly two-centimeter-thin profile and virtually borderless design make it as striking off as it is on, while premium Audio by Bang & Olufsen completes the immersive experience.
TCL also previewed major software and ecosystem upgrades through deeper integration with Gemini on Google TV, building on last year’s “Always On” Google TV debut. New models introduce more intuitive interaction, smarter photo discovery, and creative AI tools that make the TV a more personal hub.
Visual fidelity takes another leap with Dolby Vision 2 from Dolby, which enhances picture quality through content intelligence and environmental awareness. The next-generation format is set to roll out to TCL’s X and C series TVs in 2026 via over-the-air updates.
Eye comfort and productivity also took center stage. The TCL NXTPAPER 70 Pro smartphone, powered by NXTPAPER 4.0, is designed for all-day viewing with reduced eye strain, offering instant switching between three viewing modes via a dedicated NXTPAPER Key.
For focused work and note-taking, the TCL Note A1 NXTPAPER eNote tablet blends AI productivity tools with a paper-like reading and writing experience. TCL also introduced the RayNeo Air 4 Pro, the world’s first HDR10 AR glasses, bringing high-clarity, lightweight immersive viewing to both work and entertainment on the go.
Beyond screens, TCL’s vision of intelligent living extends across the home. Its latest AI-powered appliances, including the FreshIN 3.0 air conditioner, GeniusFresh refrigerator, AmeraClassic washer and dryer series, and AI SuperDrum washer-dryer combo, are designed to learn user habits and improve efficiency.
Smart locks with advanced biometric security and TCL Smart Home Energy Solutions round out an ecosystem that gives households greater control over power use, storage, and energy management while supporting a low-carbon lifestyle.
Entertainment and interaction also get a boost through AI. The PlayCube Projector brings flexible, cinema-grade viewing anywhere, while TCL AiMe, billed as the world’s first modular AI companion robot, introduces adaptive, lifelike interaction that adds a human touch to smart homes.
In mobility and connectivity, TCL’s Human × Vehicle × Home cross-scenario solution links devices across environments, while the TCL 5G Mobile WiFi P50 delivers ultra-fast mmWave connectivity with both wired and wireless charging for users on the move.
Design and sustainability complete the picture. Through TCL NXTHOME, the brand blends technology, lifestyle, and design collaborations with partners such as BMW Group Designworks Shanghai Studio and Alcantara. TCL also unveiled ECORA, a sustainable material developed with Chris Lefteri Design that repurposes recycled porcelain ceramics into high-performance, eco-conscious finishes for future products.
From display breakthroughs to AI-powered homes, TCL’s CES 2026 showcase paints a clear picture of where technology is headed. Smarter, more immersive, and more sustainable, the company’s innovations are shaping how people live, work, and connect in an increasingly intelligent world.
