Paris, the City of Light, became the City of Bright HDR this week, as TCL unveiled its 2025 QD-Mini LED TV line-up, featuring screen sizes from a modest 50-inches to a surprisingly affordable, super-large 115-inch giant.
The location at the Espace Bailly, Galerie Joseph, seemed fitting, given that France is the birthplace of cinema. TCL is pushing jumbo screens hard this year, making home theatre more viable and affordable than ever.
With Audio by Bang & Olufsen on its top two models, they should sound darn good too.
The 4K TV showcase confirmed TCL as a dominant force in Mini LED screen development, its new models offering stunning contrast and rich colours, powered by 7th-generation QD-Mini LED tech.
Whether you’re upgrading your living room TV, building a dedicated home cinema, or seeking to level-up your gaming setup, there’s definitely something in this range reveal for you.
TCL’s latest QD-Mini LED Technology is made for home cinema
TCL’s mission this year is clear: bring the brilliance of QD-Mini LED to a broader audience. The 2025 C-Series, comprising the C6K, C7K, and C8K, promises dynamic visuals, immersive audio, and game-ready performance, all at remarkably competitive prices.
TCL’s new Condensed Micro Lens technology is said to enhance brightness uniformity while reducing power consumption. This means high brightness visuals without elevated energy consumption.
Additional innovations include the Halo Control System, which minimises blooming around bright objects, and an AiPQ Processor able to dynamically optimise contrast, clarity, and motion.
The Luxe Review was invited along, to get a first look at these exciting new models. So just what do the three new models offer, and how do they compare? Let’s break down each range to see where they shine…

TCL QD-Mini LED TVs compared from £799 to £12,999
TCL is positioning itself as a dominant force in Mini LED technology, and the new models certainly have kerb appeal. The 7th-generation QD-Mini LED tech in these flatscreens brings deeper blacks, and richer colours.
All three models are built on the Google TV smart platform.
For those upgrading from traditional LED tellies, the C6K series is the most accessible new entry. This range balances affordability with an extensive specification, making it a compelling choice for families and first-time Mini LED buyers.
Key Features include up to 512 dimming zones for improved black levels and contrast, 144Hz Motion Clarity Pro refresh rate for smooth visuals when PC gaming; Game Master Pro with FreeSync Premium Pro; Dolby Vision IQ and HDR10+ support for dynamic HDR, and an Onkyo 2.1 sound system with Dolby Atmos support (55-inches and above).
The C6K is available in 55-, 65-, 75-, 85- and 98-inch screen sizes, priced at £799, £999, £1,499, £1,899 and £3,199 respectively.
The C7K series brings more advanced picture and audio enhancements. With up to 2048 dimming zones and a CrystGlow HVA (Huaxing Vertical Alignment) panel, this screen promises richer contrast, deeper blacks, and better brightness control. Peak HDR brightness is pegged at 3,000 nits.
This model is likely to be a popular choice for gamers and home cinema enthusiasts, with extensive HDR coverage (Dolby Vision, HDR10+, HLG), 144Hz native refresh rate for silky smooth gameplay, and a Bang & Olufsen multichannel sound system (on all but the largest screen size).
The C7K also has the widest choice of screen sizes: there are 50-, 55-, 65-, 75-, 85-, 98- and 115-inch models , priced at £799, £999, £1,399, £1,799, £2,199, £4,299 and £12,999 respectively.
The new 115-inch model is roughly half the cost of TCL’s X95K 115-inch screen launched in 2024.
Marek Maciejewski, Product Development Director at TCL, told The Luxe Review that the evolution of super-large screens was inevitable. “People with 65-inch models find they can move to 75 if they wall mount, and then realise that 85-inches or larger is also possible,” he says.
Topping TCL’s 2025 TV range is the C8K series, and it looks to be a corker. The C8K takes QD-Mini LED technology to the next level, with up to 4000 dimming zones coupled to an ultra-high brightness CrystGlow WHVA panel. Peak HDR brightness is said to reach 5,000 nits.
A showstopper at the launch event, the C8K also offers a frame interpolated 288Hz Game Accelerator for esports-level responsiveness, extensive HDR coverage, and a high end Bang & Olufsen 6.2.2 Dolby Atmos sound system.
The C8K 65-, 75-, 85- and 98-inch flagship are priced at £1,599, £1,999, £2,799, and £4,799 respectively.
It seems the future of home entertainment is bright, and it’s coming to a living room near you.
