TCL C8K arrives in Europe as new high-end QD-MiniLED TV

TCL has launched the C8K Premium QD-MiniLED TV in Europe. Also known as the C81K, this model is identical to the TCL QM8K, which was launched in the US at the end of May 2025. TCL revealed the European version of the TV in April when its pricing was also revealed.

You can now buy the TCL C8K in European countries like Spain, France and Italy. The smallest 65-inch TV has an RRP of €1,499, the 75-inch TV’s RRP is €1,899, the 85-inch TV’s RRP is €2,499, and the range-topping 98-inch TV has an RRP of €3,499.

The TCL C8K TV has a 4K resolution with a 144Hz native refresh rate. It uses the new CrystGlow WHVA Panel, with a native contrast ratio of 7,000:1 and particularly low reflectivity. This TV has up to 3,840 local dimming zones and a peak brightness level of up to 5000 nits (HDR) for the 98-inch model. With quantum dot technology, the model is said to cover 97% of the DCI-P3 color space. It also has gaming tools like the TCL Game Bar and Game Accelerator 288Hz, and there are Bang and Olufsen speakers with support for Dolby Atmos. 

The C8K runs on Google TV, providing access to a range of popular streaming services like Apple TV and Disney+. You can also wirelessly share content via Apple AirPlay or Google Chromecast, with support for Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth. The C8K is marketed as having a ZeroBorder design for an almost bezel-less finish. It is unclear when the TCL C8K Premium QD-MiniLED TV will reach other European markets like the UK.
