TCL CSOT wowed attendees at SID Display Week 2026 this week, showing off futuristic panels including the world’s largest LCD screen, foldable OLED monitors and more.
The company’s exhibition was extremely busy all week, attracting hundreds of attendees to ogle at its 130-inch LCD panel that “breaks traditional boundaries… and redefines large-format design,” the company said. The 4K resolution panel, which sports a super-slim 29.8 millimetre profile, was confirmed to be the one found in Samsung’s 130-inch Micro RGB TV, which uses an RGB LED backlight to enhance colour performance.
FlatpanelsHD adds that the display maker’s parent company TCL is also going to launch a 130-inch RGB LED TV at some point this year, so Samsung may soon have some competition on its hands in the new super-size TV arena. You can hear more about that panel from HDTVTest's Vincent Teoh here:
Elsewhere, there was an entirely new panel that TCL CSOT said will become the foundation of premium LCD TV models in 2027. The 85-inch WHVA LCD panel features an RGBC LED backlight, adding a fourth, cyan-coloured LED to the red, green and blue LEDs found in “traditional” RGB LED TVs. According to the display maker, the addition of a cyan LED is what allows it to reproduce the “world’s highest image quality” ever seen on an LCD panel.
TCL CSOT said it covers an expansive 131% of the BT.2020 colour spectrum, far in excess of what we’ve seen on the most premium TVs launched this year. It combines this dazzling array of colour with blinding brightness of 10,000 nits, which means it holds enormous promise in terms of HDR picture quality.
The new panel looks to be even better than Hisense’s RGB MiniLED evo concept that was shown off at CES 2026 in January. That panel, which is set to be used in the company’s upcoming 116-inch 116UXS LCD TV, also added a cyan LED, but Hisense only claimed 110% coverage of the BT.2020 colour space.
It’s known that TCL CSOT is on the verge of mass producing inkjet-printed OLED panels that are expected to rival LG Display’s Tandem WOLED and Samsung Display’s QD-OLED displays, and the company once again teased a number of products.
The show-stopper here was an inkjet-printed “tri-fold” OLED panel that can double as an expansive 28-inch ultrawide monitor or a smaller 16-inch display with more conventional dimensions. TCL CSOT said it’s more energy efficient than existing OLED monitors because it has a larger pixel aperture of between 50% and 60%, and an RGB-stripe pixel design.
The company’s RGB-OLED technology, as it’s called, will look to steal market share from both LG Display and Samsung Display, whose OLED technologies currently dominate the premium monitor segment. TCL CSOT is also planning to make smaller OLED panels for tablets and smartphones, but they won’t be manufactured using the inkjet-printing process.
