The 85" QLED XESS Private Theatre X6 features Quantum Dot technology and an elegant design, and is amongst the thinnest supersized TVs in the world.

Its color volume is 2.8 times higher than OLED (500 nits) and its color purity is 58.3 percent better than traditional TVs. At 60,000 hours, the color lifespan of the 85" QLED XESS Private Theatre X6 is twice as long as a regular OLED TV.

The metallic finish on TCL's 85" QLED XESS Private Theatre X6 gives it a touch of luxury.
