TCL has showcased a suite of new technological developments at the 2026 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, and the proprietary SQD-Mini LED display system definitely stands out in the company's presentation.
The SQD-Mini LED display system, which is positioned as "a major upgrade to traditional Mini LED," is present in the TCL X11L Series — a range that combines three core innovations, such as the Super Mini LED Backlight, Super QLED, and Super Panel. The SQD-Mini LED display system promises an exceptionally high number of local dimming zones and extreme brightness. These features directly target the enthusiast market and those seeking the highest fidelity in contrast, color accuracy, and HDR performance for cinematic and gaming content.
In addition to the SQD-Mini LED display system innovation, TCL also debuted the RayNeo Air 4 Pro — "a new species of head-mounted TV," the TCL AiMe, and more.
