CES Hands-On: TCL X11L Series SQD-Mini LED TV at CES 2026

If you have ever been to CES, you know to expect many, TV screens, but the TCL X11L was one of those displays that immediately pulled us in the moment we walked past the booth. Between the sheer size and the intensity of the image, it was clear this was one of TCL’s prime TVs for the show.

The X11L leans into that premium Mini-LED look. Bright highlights jumped off the screen, while dark scenes still felt controlled and clean, even in the challenging lighting of the show floor. Colors looked bold and vibrant without feeling overcooked, and the image held up well from different angles as people gathered around the display.

The X11L is sleek and modern. It’s impressively thin for a television of this size, with a near borderless look that gives it a very polished presence. TCL also highlighted Bang & Olufsen audio, which adds to the premium feel, though it’s something we’d want to spend more time with in a quieter setting.

Our time with TCL X11L was short, but the first impression was strong. This feels like TCL flexing what they can do at the high end, and it left us genuinely curious to see how the X11L performs outside the controlled demos of CES. We’re excited to spend more time with it in the future for a full review.
