If recent times have confirmed anything for humankind, it is that we as people are innately programmed to move forward.

Resilience is the buzzword of these times, and most of us are not only able to quickly adapt to the challenges of our outside world—but quickly find our silver lining. After all, while optimism may at times seem challenging, we know there’s still so much to be thankful for.

In a world of ongoing health and safety concerns, many of us have responded by rediscovering our homes. Today, the notion of working, learning and entertaining at home is more central than many once thought possible. Now more than ever, this is the age of home as a hub.

Even as many of us return to offices, schools and airports, most of us continue to exercise caution. Our new reality is that whatever outcome the near future holds, home will remain more central to our foreseeable future. And as many of us delay that dream vacation a bit longer, the silver lining is a little revenge spending closer to home.

  • As our bedrooms double as offices, and kitchens become places to bake bread and mix cocktails, thoughts quickly turn to another key area of our home: the living room. Increasingly, with both broadband capacities and family entertaining on the rise, one thing seems crystal clear: It’s time we upgraded our TV.

  • Adjusting to new realities outside can mean tangible improvements inside. Signs of this are everywhere, as home renovations continue their mid-pandemic boom. As such, many homeowners are reimagining their shared spaces, finding novel ways to make their spaces serve both work and play.

Get down and go big

Having decided on a new television, the first question you typically ask is, how big should I go? As Geoffrey Morrison from technology leader CNET notes, this depends on your room, your seating distance, and what feels acceptable to those who use the TV.

Morrison’s own experience of today’s sleek, lightweight new-generation TV suggests that our previous ideas about size should trend upwards. “Watching TV this size is addictive, and I love it,” he says. “You can go much larger than most people assume is possible.”

Once the size and comfort factor is taken into account, CNET has a succinct answer to the question:  “Our overall advice is quite simple: Get as big a TV as you can afford.”

As long as the price represents good value, most of us want a versatile product designed for our multi-use home entertainment world—where in a typical week, the family might use the TV to watch YouTube stars and e-gaming events, live-stream their favourite football team or superhero movie, play a dance-off tournament with uncles and aunts, then launch into some late-night karaoke to unwind.

The TV of the future

Thanks to 40 years of delivering innovative consumer electronics, TCL is a company well equipped to match the hopes and dreams of today’s home entertainment. With its premium XL Collection, TCL is inviting users to upgrade their expectations even further.

The first thing you notice about the company’s European XL Collection, including the QLED C735 Series, Mini LED C835 Series and C935 Series models, is the size. Once in the 75-inch and up to 98-inch super larger size, this is a screen that places you in the front row of your next hit stage show.

As TCL reminds the size-cautious, this is typically a once-a-decade purchase. And where TVs are concerned, the future just got bigger. Take the TCL QLED TV 98-inch C735, for example. You likely have more than 70 percent more viewing area than your last set—yet in reality you get a TV that weighs the same, is much shallower, and only around 13-inches wider.

Not only that, but the XL Collection retails at competitive prices, where you get performance far beyond your legacy expectations, with specifications ranging from 4K resolution and HDR, to quantum dot colour and brilliant Dolby Vision, meaning you can sit much closer to the screen than you’re used to, without discomfort.

  • For today’s ‘non-traditional’ viewers, the XL Collection is built with today’s immersive gamer in mind. Features like 4K resolution HDR, low input lag, variable refresh rate, and auto game mode for 120 hertz gaming, work to deliver you right onto your e-gaming field of dreams.

What’s more, with Dolby Atmos and your new TCL sound bars that feature subwoofers for pulse pounding bass, your blockbuster movie or Formula 1 experience also gains an additional ‘being there’ quality—all within your own ‘home hub’ cocoon.

A complete XL immersive experience through sound and design

With the XL Collection offering fantastic picture quality, TCL has worked hard to develop a series of products that deliver the immersive audio needed to match the screens’ excellent performance. The latest upgrade of TCL’s exclusive award-winning RAY·DANZ® soundbars, X937U and C935U, feature 7.1.4 and 5.1.2 channels respectively, with wider, more spectacular sound stage design and audio decoding powered by Dolby Atmos and DTS:X.

The TCL XL Collection TVs also have an elegant frameless design that fits easily into any interior and ensures maximum picture view to provide an immersive viewing experience.

With different choices of screen sizes and technologies, the TCL XL Collection TVs will fit many budgets and exceed expectations for home entertainment by delivering larger-than-life home viewing experiences to users worldwide.
