It also features the most advanced Smart TV system ever: Android TV with Google Assistant built-in, and consumers can access the content they love through hands-free voice control.

TCL’s Mini LED Light Engine brings contrast , details, lifelike picture quality and HDR performance to a whole new level. With more than 15,000 ultra-slim LEDs split into 768 dimmable zones, the X10 Series boasts bright whites, deep blacks -- with no halo effect -- and vibrant details for the best HDR performance. In addition, Quantum Dot brings unrivalled colors -- 100% color volume of DCI-P3 standard at 1500 nits of brightness-- while the native 100Hz display ensures smooth picture quality on fast-moving scenes.

The X10 Series also offers an immersive Dolby Atmos sound experience and cinema-quality audio thanks to the Onkyo 2.2 sound bar. And with its ultra-slim and frameless metal design, the X10 Series 2 is an elegant and lasting piece of craftsmanship, offering the best picture quality without compromising on design.

The TCL X81 Series: redefining the image of TV

The TCL X81 series is eye catching, conveys superior performance, and will have 3 consumers looking at the picture rather than the TV. It promises to redefine not only how the TV looks but how consumers look at their TV.
