75″ Mini LED with 2,176 zones and 4,500 nits brightness! TCL slashed the price of its flagship by almost 27,500 CZK

A flagship Mini LED TV for a reasonable price is no longer an unrealistic idea — and the TCL C8K is currently one of the best examples. The TCL 75C8K in the 75-inch diagonal is available on Alza for 42,492 CZK after applying the code ALZADNY15. The price thus drops significantly below fifty thousand, which is a very decent offer for a 2025 flagship with such features. In a review, one user directly writes that it is “the TV of 2025” and that they clearly preferred it over LG OLED models — and do not regret it.

Quick summary:
✅ Makes sense if you are looking for a premium large-screen TV with fantastic picture quality.-
⚠: Consider that the panel is glossy, and in a very brightly lit room, you will see yourself in it like in a mirror.
💡 For 42,492 CZK, you get a 75″ 4K Mini LED panel with 2,176 dimming zones, 4,500 nits brightness, native 144 Hz, support for HDR10+, Dolby Vision IQ and IMAX Enhanced, 90W Bang & Olufsen sound with integrated subwoofer, 4× HDMI 2.1, and gaming features including VRR and FreeSync Premium Pro.

Why it’s worth considering

The main technological reason why the C8K does what it does is the combination of QD-Mini LED backlighting with 2,176 local dimming zones. Each zone is controlled independently, allowing the TV to offer deep blacks (not quite like OLED, but very close) without the significant halo effect that plagues conventional LED backlighting. Added to this is a brightness of 4,500 nits, a value that most OLED TVs cannot even come close to — so the C8K has no problem in a bright living room with large windows.

A big plus is the sound by Bang & Olufsen. The TV includes a 90W system with an integrated subwoofer and, according to users, works great even without an external soundbar — reviews state that it “truly surprises.” For gamers, there’s native 144 Hz, a 288Hz Game Accelerator in Full HD mode, VRR, ALLM, and four HDMI 2.1 ports. And a nice detail is the backlit remote control with a metallic finish, which one reviewer described as “luxurious.”

What to expect

The panel is notably glossy — when placed opposite a window or a strong light source, objects in the room will reflect in it. Although the TV has an anti-reflective coating and brightness over 4,000 nits to prevent the image from being overwhelmed, it’s good to consider its placement.

One reviewer also mentions a minor bug — when the screen saver is activated during a movie with subtitles, the subtitles need to be turned off and on again to reappear. This is a software issue that can probably be fixed with an update.

Is maximum brightness or the deepest black more important to you in a TV?
