All-Domain Halo Control Technology
TCL all-domain halo control technology covers the entire path from light generation to imaging, integrating high-efficiency light-emitting chips and self-developed lens technology, combined with Micro-OD, light and shadow control algorithms, and high-end HVA Panel technology. Through system-level precise control of light, it effectively solves the halo problem and delivers a premium viewing experience.
Powerful Light-Emitting Chip
Compared with the previous generation of conventional light-emitting chip, the C7Ks ground-breaking Powerful Light-emitting Chip significantly improves brightness and energy efficiency, reproducing natural bright and dark scenes with clarity. The Super Energy Highlighter Base and ALD Corrosion-resistant Technique deliver a 35% brightness increase and 10% energy efficiency increase.
Super Condensed Micro Lens
TCLs self-developed super condensed micro lens technology, backed by 34 self-developed patents, precisely controls light direction through its arch bridge dimming design. Its selection of nano-optical materials with greater plasticity form a golden curvature with super light-focusing properties, and precisely controls light point by point, greatly improving the backlight uniformity and halo control capabilities, making the picture details clearer. This delivers a 41% improvement in halo control capability, enhancement in backlight uniformity, and an 8 times increase in optical stability.
Micro-OD
With TCLs powerful Mini LED optical technology, the C7K delivers an astonishing Micro-OD. It not only offers a slimmer TV unit but also puts an end to the Mini LED halo issue by working with the super condensed micro lens and ultra-high zoning, giving the stars in the night sky a deep, delicate, and sharp look.
Dynamic Lighting Bionic Algorithm
Combined with human perception characteristics and picture pixel information, the lighting details are optimized for SDR and HDR signals, while the details and contrast of light and dark scenes are greatly improved. Enjoy more real lighting effects of streaming media resources on TCL TV.
Transient Response
Transient response can prevent dark shadows, bright spots, and trailing caused by backlight lag in motion picture. It makes the motion picture sharper and enhances your viewing experience.
Bidirectional 23 Bit Precision Control
Bidirectional 23 bit precision control technology can accurately sense the ambient brightness and colour temperature, and finely control the TV brightness and colour temperature to make the picture more vivid and colourful.
HVA Panel Technology
HVA Panel technology employs nanoscale film-layer techniques to create a butterfly-wing-shaped liquid crystal molecular microstructure. This structure precisely controls the light passing through the liquid crystal layer, significantly improving the contrast of the panel. The HVA Panel maintains an ultra high native contrast ratio of 5000:1, while also featuring an ultra wide viewing angle and high energy efficiency, ensuring that image details are crisp and visible. Additional benefits include 3x contrast enhancement, ultra-low reflectivity, energy efficiency, and a viewing angle greater than 178.
Precise Dimming Series up to 2048 Zones
The Precise Dimming series features all-domain halo control technology with a new generation of powerful light-emitting chip, super condensed Micro lens and Micro-OD that make the light shape of individual zones more perfect, with halo control ability several times that of ordinary zones. Combined with the HVA panel with high native contrast ratio and the worlds leading light and shadow control algorithm, the Precise Dimming series shapes the real light and shadow so that the TVs comprehensive picture quality performance is dramatically improved compared to ordinary TVs, bringing deeper blacks and higher brightness.
HDR 2000 Nits Peak Brightness
Thanks to its peak brightness of 2000 nits, the C7K features an ultra-high contrast ratio of 20,000,000:1 and a higher dynamic range. With its precise dimming capability, the C7K displays both deep darkness and bright, vivid details.
QLED Colour Technology
TCL QLED utilizes Colourful Quantum Crystals, which integrate nanoscale quantum dot materials with organic materials in multiple layers. Together with backlighting technology, this breakthrough achieves exceptional colour and optical performance. Each frame masterfully renders more than a billion hues of perfect vivid colours, showcasing stunningly vivid colours. Enhanced brightness further illuminates subtle details, offering an immersive and lifelike viewing experience that unveils hidden nuances. Features include Colourful Quantum Crystal with Enhanced Stability, 93% DCI-P3 Ultra-wide Colour Gamut, and Bionic Colour Optimization Technology.
144Hz Native Refresh Rate
From signal processing to screen display, the C7K supports 4K 144Hz ultra-high native refresh rate throughout the entire chain, effectively solving the problem of image stuttering and making moving images clearer.
AiPQ Pro Processor
TCLs self-developed AiPQ Pro Processor incorporates numerous TCLs unique image quality tuning algorithms. This chip has excellent intelligent sensing capabilities and can make pixel-level adjustments to the image quality, thus providing a top-notch viewing experience.
Ai Contrast
Perceive the brightness information of each image in the TV picture, and combine the brightness characteristics of the viewing environment to intelligently adjust the contrast of the picture to make the bright and dark details clearer.
Ai Colour
Intelligently identify the colour characteristics of the picture, and carry out dynamic colour calibration and skin tone protection, bringing more vivid colour performance, allowing users to get an immersive experience when playing games or viewing movies.
Ai Clarity
Powerful Ai data models accurately parse each frame of images, and perform pixel-level optimization on flawed images, so that even low-score images can present high-resolution image quality effects.
Ai Motion
Powered by TCL AiPQ Pro Processor, MEMC detects fast-moving objects sensitively in their size and position in the image, it calculates motion in terms of frame number with up to 4K 144Hz VRR, just to restore the silky-smooth image in compensating for blurring and tearing in the exciting sports, games, and movies.
Ai HDR
The Powerful TCL Ai HDR supports almost all HDR formats such as Dolby Vision, HDR 10, HDR10, HLG, etc. It could upscale SDR to HDR by enhancing the picture quality in movies and shows with a wider range of colours with brighter highlights.
