Black Friday discounts on Alza lowered the price of the TCL 55T8D Mini LED television from 15,990 CZK to 12,990 CZK on Tuesday.
That marks a 3,000 CZK savings from its launch price, according to Svět Androida.
Price tracking data from Hlídač Shopů shows the television cost 14,989 CZK during an October promotion. The current reduction brings an additional 1,999 CZK drop, representing roughly 13 percent off the previous promotional cost, Svět Androida reported. It has not been this inexpensive on Alza since its launch, and four months of SledovaniTV are included with the purchase, Svět Androida stated.
Mini LED performance and display limits
The TCL 55T8D uses a Mini LED backlight system split into individually dimmable zones, paired with quantum dots for color saturation and an HVA panel. Alza lists a maximum brightness of 450 nits, a figure matched by measurements from the German publication Netzwelt, Svět Androida stated.
Dark scenes therefore appear deeper and bright objects stand out more, according to Svět Androida. That brightness level falls short of producing intense HDR highlights in bright rooms. Netzwelt’s testing also showed that only two of the four HDMI ports support 144 Hz refresh rates, requiring users with multiple consoles and a gaming PC to swap cables, according to Svět Androida.
LG B6 offers deep blacks at competitive prices
Lower peak brightness and a lack of matte surface anti-reflection coatings make the LG B6 better suited for evening viewing, arecenze reported. Prices for that OLED series start at 25,000 CZK, while Hisense and TCL models with Mini LED backlighting offer lower price points, according to arecenze.
