Previously on March 8.3, Read said that TCL has launched the X11H Max TV using a microLED panel up to 163 inches with a price equivalent to 2,8 billion VND. TCL's TV model for the super-rich can reach a brightness of up to 10.000 nits, meeting the maximum brightness level of the current HDR standard. The screen surface has 24,88 million inorganic LED chips as pixels, achieve 4K resolution.
TCL says this TV has a nanosecond response time, surpassing the fastest OLED panels currently at 0,03 milliseconds. The product has 22-bit color depth and a lifespan of more than 100.000 hours, equivalent to operating for more than 27 years. The integrated audio system includes a 6-2-2 and 7-1-4 multi-channel speaker solution when combined with a soundbar.
The value of microLED TVs is high because the cost of manufacturing this panel is much higher than OLED. At the CES 2024 exhibition (USA), TCL said that each inch on the microLED panel has been reduced by the company in production costs to 650 - 750 USD.
So normally a 75 inch microLED panel will cost about 50.000 USD to produce. Because of the high cost, microLED TVs are still mainly for the B2B market or the super rich.
Even though TCL X11H Max has the best cost compared to the largest MicroLED TV products from Samsung and LG, microLED technology is currently still difficult to reach the majority of users compared to OLED TVs.
