Can an LCD TV display black levels nearly as well as OLED? The TCL X11L shows that this is becoming increasingly possible. During our tests the flagship MiniLED achieved impressive contrast results, and in some scenes its blacks were practically indistinguishable from those seen on OLEDs.
Over a million to one. You don't see that kind of contrast every day
The 75-inch TCL X11L we tested uses as many as 11,520 local dimming zones. Thanks to such a large number of independently controlled backlight zones, the TV can very precisely separate bright elements from a dark background.
The result? In one of our test scenes we measured a contrast of as much as 1,842,100:1. That's one of the best results we've recorded in a Mini LED TV. In less complex scenes the blacks looked almost identical to OLEDs.
OLED-like blacks, but with enormous brightness
What's most interesting, however, is the combination of deep blacks with very high brightness. In real HDR scenes we measured mostly between 2000 and 3000 nits, while when watching regular SDR content the TV reached on average nearly 2000 nits. That makes the X11L great for bright rooms too, where high brightness helps maintain a clear, high-contrast picture.
On top of that, there's excellent color saturation thanks to SQD technology, which in our measurements provided roughly 89% coverage of the BT.2020 color space.
The TCL X11L is one of the most impressive Mini LEDs we've tested so far. It doesn't entirely remove the limitations of LCD technology, but it proves that even without an OLED panel you can achieve an exceptionally spectacular image.
