TCL’s new 98-inch Mini LED TV has left many in the industry worried about the future of projectors. With its impressive features, including 2000 dimming zones, Quantum Dot colors, and a peak brightness of 3000 nits, this TV outshines most projectors in several ways.
The C7K’s local dimming is excellent, allowing it to produce bright highlights over black backgrounds without blooming. While it may not reach OLED levels of blackness and contrast, its performance is still impressive. At £2400, the launch price is reasonable, with prices expected to drop below £2000 soon.
In comparison, projectors costing similar money cannot match the C7K’s brightness, blackness, or color reproduction. Additionally, TVs offer extra features like 4K/120Hz-compatible HDMI 2.1 sockets and smart platforms packed with optimized apps.
While projectors still have advantages in terms of size, those who can afford larger screens may consider a TV like the C7K. As these large TVs become more affordable, projector manufacturers may face increased competition. For now, the 98-inch TCL C7K is a game-changer for big-screen enthusiasts, offering unparalleled performance and features at an attractive price point.
