TCL introduced the next entry in its flagship line of televisions during CES. The X11L SQD-Mini LED Series is available for pre-order now in three sizes. But like much of the gear on show in Las Vegas this week, it doesn't come cheap. The 75-inch model of the X11L costs $7,000, the 85-inch option is $8,000 and the 98-inch model goes for $10,000. That's more than double the costs of the QD-Mini LED TV the brand unveiled at last year's CES.

In just the past couple years, the art TV category that's been dominated by Samsung's The Frame has seen growth, with additions from both TCL and Hisense.

The TV will leverage the Gallery+ service that LG released earlier this year, which includes thousands of display visuals ranging from pieces of art to cinematic images to gaming scenes.

At Amazon's annual hardware event, it announced a fleet of new Fire TVs, including an Omni QLED model, as well as new 2 and 4-series televisions. The QLED features an auto-adjusting screen for various lighting conditions, plus what the company calls omnisense presence detection. Amazon's Fire TV operating system powers TVs from various manufacturers, but the Omni series is its own flagship TV with a higher-end design, better specs, and a higher price.

The neighbor's reaction captures exactly what makes this television extraordinary. Hisense has fundamentally altered the premium television equation with Mini-LED technology, native 144Hz gaming, and Fire TV's most advanced features at a price point that seemed impossible just two years ago. After weeks of intensive testing across streaming, and cinematic content, I can confirm this 100-inch 100U65QF delivers experiences that traditionally required spending $4,000+ on competing premium displays.

According to Hisense, ULED (or Ultra LED) is the company's proprietary 'ultimate viewing experience' that combines 20 different patents to create the most vivid and true-to-life viewing experience.
