In early March, TCL officially launched the world's largest microLED TV with a size of 163 inches.
Like LG and Samsung, TCL now offers microLED TVs to the super-rich. The company's latest product is a 163-inch TV, called X11H Max, which was launched in China for 800,000 Yuan.
The microLED TV line is completely different from miniLED TV. MiniLED TVs are miniLED backlit LCD TVs while microLED TVs have light-emitting diodes so small that they act as actual sub-pixels – eliminating the LCD panel.
In other words, LED TV is a direct viewing TV and applies new display technology. This screen technology is brighter, faster, longer lasting. Notably, the TCL microLED X11H Max TV has a giant 163-inch screen with 4K resolution, with a total of 24.88 million individual LEDs.
TCL said that the product achieves a maximum brightness of 10,000 nits, meeting the maximum brightness level of the current HDR standard. In addition, the TV also meets 22-bit color standards. TCL says the TV has a nanosecond response time - surpassing even the fastest OLED screens - 0.03 milliseconds. However, the difference is hardly discernible.
The display is assembled from smaller microLED modules and is claimed to have a lifespan of more than 100,000 hours.
TCL TVs are equipped with a powerful integrated, expandable audio system, described as a 6.2.2 + 7.1.4 channel solution.
TCL microLED X11H Max TV costs 800,000 Yuan (equivalent to 2.8 billion VND). Previously, Samsung's 110-inch microLED TV was priced at $155,000 at launch and LG's 136-inch microLED TV was priced at $300,000.
Although TCL's version is slightly larger and cheaper, this proves that microLED technology still has a long way to go before it can compete with LCD and OLED technology.
