TCL earlier today held a product launch conference where it unveiled its flagship Mini LED smart TV dubbed TCL X12 8K Mini LED Starlight Smart Screen. The smart TV is indeed a high-end product that utilizes an 85-inch screen. The price is also hefty – 9,999 yuan (~$1,536).

The TCL X12 8K Mini LED Smart Screen is said to be the world’s first OD Zero Mini LED smart screen as well as the thinnest Mini LED smart TV around. It is also the Mini LED smart screen with the most LED chips.

The TV uses OD Zero technology which refers to the distance between the TV backlight and the screen. The OD value of ordinary LED TVs is about 20-30 mm. TCL X12 8K Mini LED TV is said to be capable of achieving “zero distance”. Thus, even though it is a huge 85-inch super-sized screen, the thickness can still be kept within 1cm, which is very slim.

The mini LED TV is equipped with 96,000 LED chips with an amazing brightness of 2000nits. It also comes with 1920 physical partitions, 10,000,000:1 high contrast ratio and can output high-precision picture presentation. In terms of picture quality, the TCL X12 8K Mini LED Smart Screen uses Quantum Dot Pro technology, with an ultra-high color gamut of 157% (BT.709).

For audio, the TCL X12 8K Mini LED star screen is equipped with theater-level Onkyo 5.1.2 Hi-Fi audio, 8 channels, and 25 unit speakers, and the subwoofer unit has a cavity of 7 liters.

In addition, the TCL X12 8K Mini LED Starlight Smart Screen is equipped with a 48-megapixel 3D ToF camera, the industry’s first 3D ToF camera, which can more accurately recognize air gestures, support user play and pause gestures, and can also accurately recognize the person’s viewing posture and distance.

There is no word yet as to when it will be launched for sale.
