Brightness 4,500 nits and Bang Olufsen sound for CZK 25,590. TCL 65C8K discounted by over ten thousand

Four and a half thousand nits is a value offered by TVs costing fifty thousand – and here you get it for half the price. The TCL 65C8K now costs CZK 25,590 with code ALZADNY25 instead of CZK 35,990. Plus, 1,680 local dimming zones, an anti-reflective panel, and Bang & Olufsen tuned sound, which is a combination you won’t find elsewhere in a TV at this price point.

👍 Get it if you have a bright living room, play on a console, and want a picture quality close to OLED.
🤔 Hesitate if you monitor power consumption – 290 kWh per thousand hours in HDR and energy class G are high values.
💰 Price: CZK 25,590 for a QD-Mini LED with 4,500 nits and four HDMI 2.1 is currently one of the best value propositions on the market.

Brightness that handles even a sun-drenched living room

Maximum brightness of 4,500 nits is a figure that makes one pause – typical good TVs range around 1,000 to 1,500 nits, OLEDs even lower. In practice, this means the picture remains vibrant even on a sunny afternoon, and HDR scenes have real sparkle. The anti-reflective screen surface also helps, suppressing reflections from windows.

The second key figure is 1,680 local dimming zones. TCL calls its technology QD-Mini LED, combining quantum dots with Mini LED backlighting – the more zones, the more precisely the TV dims individual parts of the image, so night scenes don’t have a grayish veil and halos don’t form around subtitles. Plus, 10-bit color depth and a complete set of HDR formats: Dolby Vision IQ, HDR10+, HDR10, and HLG. The TV is also Calman Ready, meaning it’s prepared for professional calibration.

For gamers, there are all four ports in HDMI 2.1 version, a 120 Hz panel with 144 Hz in game mode, VRR, and Ideal for PlayStation 5 certification. And the sound? A 90W system with a built-in subwoofer tuned by Bang & Olufsen, Dolby Atmos, and DTS:X – so you don’t have to worry about a soundbar on day one.

What to consider

Such brightness comes at a cost in terms of consumption. Energy class D in SDR and G in HDR with a consumption of 290 kWh per thousand hours are higher values, and daily viewing will reflect this on your electricity bill. This is a tax for the technology, not a fault of the specific model – bright Mini LED panels simply consume more.

A practical note on dimensions: the TV weighs 36.8 kg and with the stand, it has a depth of almost 37 centimeters, so measure your table beforehand. Without the stand, however, it is only 5 centimeters thin, which makes it an elegant piece on the wall – Alza offers delivery and installation for it.

The Google TV system has a complete Czech offering (Oneplay, Prima+, SledováníTV, Telly, Skylink, Kuki, LepšíTV) as well as all global services and is compatible with Google Assistant, Alexa, and Apple HomeKit. For CZK 25,590, this is a TV whose picture quality outperforms many more expensive models – and its 4.7 out of 5 rating confirms this.

Is brightness for a bright room or perfect black more important to you in a TV?
