TCL is bringing its critically acclaimed TCL SQD-Mini LED TV lineup to the Custom Electronics Design and Installation Association (CEDIA) Show for the first time, showcasing the X11L, QM8L and QM7L series alongside a broader hardware push into premium home theater audio and commercial displays. CEDIA 2026 runs September 2-4 at the Colorado Convention Center in Denver, where TCL occupies booth #3200.
A Deep Color System Built for the Dark and the Bright
Designed to elevate the home theater experience, TCL SQD-Mini LED combines high peak brightness, deep black levels and rich, consistently accurate 100% BT.2020 color, with select models featuring Audio by Bang & Olufsen and screen sizes up to 98 inches. The new TCL Deep Color System is built to avoid the color crosstalk and inconsistent saturation that can affect rival panels, while additional discrete local dimming zones push blacks deeper and sharpen specular highlights for greater HDR impact.
“2026 is truly the year of extraordinary color and TCL SQD-Mini LED has set the bar high with groundbreaking contrast, brightness, shadow detail and consistently accurate color,” said Scott Ramirez, Vice President of Product Marketing and Development, TCL North America. “For customers who want premium picture quality but don’t have a dedicated dark room, or who do have a dark space but want the immersive experience created by the 98-inch screen size, TCL SQD-Mini LED is now the clear choice for premium custom installations.”
Three Series, One Family
TCL SQD-Mini LED is available across three different TV series, giving custom installers more flexibility to match size, performance and price to a given room: the X11L for those who demand the absolute best; the QM8L, positioned as a better alternative to competing flagship models without flagship pricing; and the QM7L, described by TCL as the only high-color TV series in its class.
Audio, Commercial Displays and Designer Series TVs
Alongside the panels themselves, TCL will feature the Z100 wireless speaker system with Dolby Atmos FlexConnect, plus its Q-Class sound bars. The Z100 uses a new speaker design incorporating large NdFeB rare-earth magnets, premium silk membrane tweeters and separate main, bass and height channels; FlexConnect lets installers place speakers more freely in a room while still delivering an object-based Dolby Atmos experience tuned to that layout.
TCL Professional, the brand’s commercial arm, will show its ACE136MA all-in-one LED display, a 136-inch panel aimed at corporate, education and collaboration spaces, alongside the TMN Series of digital signage panels (up to 115 inches) and the TX50Q Series for 24/7 use in restaurants, supermarkets, hotels and hospitals. On the lifestyle side, TCL’s Designer Series art-style TVs return with a sub-1.2-inch-deep chassis, off-white bezel and a complimentary light-wood magnetic frame designed to blend into a room rather than dominate it.
TCL’s PR team also points to the RM9L as the largest RGB-Mini LED TV on show at CEDIA, rounding out a stand that spans consumer and commercial display technology. It follows TCL’s recent CSOT display innovations shown at CES 2026, underlining how quickly the brand’s panel technology is moving from lab to lineup.
