Improve the sound of your TV with the TCL 98 inches QD Mini-LED C81K 4K (2025) + TCL Q65H TV and soundbar bundle.
TelevisionWith the TCL 98 inches QD Mini-LED C81K 4K (2025), you can enjoy bright images and a deep sound. This TV uses Mini-LED local dimming for a strong contrast and high brightness. This means that there are thousands of small LED lights behind the screen that light up or dim pixels individually. That way, you won't see a gray glow along bright objects on the screen like the headlights of a car. Thanks to the QLED technology, the colors of the 98C81K screen are extra realistic. The tiny Quantum Dots only let the correct colors through.
SoundbarYou can enjoy clear sound and a deep bass with the TCL Q65H. Thanks to the included subwoofer, the bass sounds stronger. This gives movies and series more depth. Explosions in an action movie sound more realistic that way. The soundbar has Virtual Dolby Atmos. This technology send sound to your position via the ceiling and walls. This makes it sound more spatial. You can truly hear the thunder in a nature documentary above your head.

Design
The TCL QD Mini-led C81K is a top-class mini-led TV. Thanks to the mini-led local dimming and the QLED screen, I can watch bright images with rich colors. Films and series appear realistically, even in direct sunlight. The TV also has built-in Bang & Olufsen speakers and subwoofers, so you don't need a soundbar if you're not a film lover.
Suitable for any living room The QD mini-led screen makes the C81K suitable for any room. Behind the screen are thousands of small LED lights that dim or illuminate individually. In direct sunlight, I hardly see any reflections, colors are realistic and dark parts of the image are deep black. In a scene with fireworks, every color shade appears on the screen and I don't see a gray glow around the light sources. So do you have a living room with a lot of natural light or do you have a lot of lamps? Then I definitely recommend the C81K.
Very good sound The TCL C81K has built-in Bang & Olufsen speakers and subwoofers. This makes the sound realistic and deep, especially when compared to the speakers of other televisions. I can hear every detail of a film or series. Even at higher volumes, I find the sound realistic. If you are a film lover, then a separate sound system such as a soundbar is still recommended. Do you not watch that many films or series, or do you mainly play games with headphones? Then the speakers of the C81K are more than sufficient.
Luxurious design Compared to the TCL C61K and C71K, the C81K has a more luxurious appearance. The TV stands on one foot and has a beautiful brushed metal finish. The foot is somewhat heavier than the 2 feet of the C61K, but is just as easy to attach. The material not only looks luxurious, but also feels sturdy and reliable. I would take this TV with me without any worries when moving.

After unpacking the TV, it's immediately noticeable how incredibly large and flat it is. It's a beautifully designed and high-quality TV. After installing it, which was very quick and easy, I extensively tested the picture quality with movies, PlayStation games, and regular TV. The picture certainly didn't disappoint; it's generally very sharp, with good brightness and contrast, and vibrant colors. It was my first mini-LED TV, and coming from LCD, this is a truly great upgrade. In my opinion, the menu interfaces are fast, intuitive, and easy to use. The sound quality is also surprisingly positive for such a thin TV; the speakers are made in collaboration with B&O, and you can definitely tell by their pristine quality. In short, a very good TV for a very competitive price.
