TCL has unveiled a wide range of new display technologies, TVs, smart home appliances, and AI-powered products at CES 2026 in Las Vegas. The company’s showcase focuses on new screen technologies, smarter home devices, and products designed to connect entertainment, work, and daily life.
This year’s presentation is centered on new developments in display panels and the use of AI across different product categories, from televisions and mobile devices to home appliances and smart home systems.
Why It Matters: TV and display technology is moving fast, and TCL is using CES 2026 to show how it plans to combine new screen tech with AI features and smart home integration. This gives a glimpse of what future TVs, devices, and home appliances may look like in the next few years.
One of the main announcements is TCL’s new SQD-Mini LED technology, which the company says improves how light is controlled across the screen. This is meant to improve contrast, brightness, and color performance compared to current Mini LED TVs.
TCL also showed the X11L, which it says is the first TV powered by this new SQD-Mini LED technology. The TV is claimed to reach up to 10,000 nits of brightness, use more than 20,000 dimming zones, and support the BT.2020 color space. It also uses a new panel type and comes with a thinner design and built-in audio tuned by Bang and Olufsen.
On the software side, TCL is expanding its work with Google TV and Dolby. The company is showing new Google TV features with Gemini integration, including improved search and creative tools. It also demonstrated Dolby Vision 2, a new version of Dolby Vision that adjusts picture settings based on content and viewing conditions. TCL says Dolby Vision 2 is planned to roll out to some of its TV models through updates in 2026.
TCL also highlighted eye-care focused devices such as the NXTPAPER 70 Pro smartphone and the Note A1 NXTPAPER eNote tablet, which are designed to be easier on the eyes for long reading and work sessions. In addition, it showed the RayNeo Air 4 Pro, which it says is the first HDR10 AR glasses.
Beyond screens, TCL is also showing smart home appliances such as air conditioners, refrigerators, washing machines, and smart locks with more AI-based features. The company is also promoting its smart home energy solutions, which are designed to manage power use and storage in a more integrated way.
In entertainment and mobility, TCL showed products like the PlayCube projector and AiMe, a modular AI companion robot. It also presented a 5G mobile WiFi device and a system that links smartphones, vehicles, and home devices into one connected setup.
TCL is also using CES 2026 to show new design and material concepts through its NXTHOME initiative, including collaborations with other brands and a new recycled material called ECORA.
TCL’s CES 2026 booth is open from January 6 to 9 at the Las Vegas Convention Center.
With TCL pushing both new display technology and more AI-powered home products at the same time, how soon will these features start to appear in TVs and devices that are sold in the Philippines?
