Description
Powerful TCL 85 Inch QD-MiniLED Smart TV – 85C8K
Overview
The TCL 85-inch Premium QD-MiniLED Smart TV 85C8K brings huge-screen entertainment into Kenyan homes. With an 85-inch display, advanced display tech, and premium sound, it’s built to impress.
It features 4K UHD resolution and QD-MiniLED backlighting for vivid detail and strong contrast. Whether you are watching movies, streaming shows, or gaming, the experience hits hard.
Striking Display Performance
The screen uses a CrystGlow WHVA panel paired with thousands of local dimming zones. That means bright highlights and deep shadows. The near-frameless “ZeroBorder™” design keeps your attention on the image, not the edges.

With a peak brightness of around 5000 nits and wide colour support, the 85C8K handles daylight rooms and bold visuals with ease.
Wide Viewing & Minimal Reflection
The WHVA panel offers improved viewing angles and reduced glare. In a lounge where viewers sit off-centre, this matters. The low-reflection coating further helps when the sun is shining through windows.
Smart & Connected Experience
The TV runs on Google TV, making streaming, mirroring, and voice control simple. Supported apps include Netflix, Showmax, YouTube, and more. You can also control it with your voice via Google Assistant and compatible Alexa devices.
Connectivity is strong: Wi-Fi 6 ensures smooth streaming, while Bluetooth 5.4 and multiple HDMI 2.1 ports give flexibility for consoles, sound, bars, and more.
Gaming and Motion Smoothness
Gamers will appreciate the responsive design. With a native refresh rate of 144 Hz and VRR support up to 288 Hz, motion stays smooth and fluid. For serious gaming setups in Nairobi or elsewhere in Kenya, this TV holds its own.
Sound Designed for the Room
Audio is tuned by Bang & Olufsen, giving built-in speakers that perform above average. With support for Dolby Atmos, sound surrounds the room, making dialogue clear and effects punchy.
Design and Fit for Kenyan Homes
Despite the large size, the design stays sleek and refined. It works on a wall or on a stand. For local homes: ensure you have enough space and ensure a proper wall mount rated for an 85-inch size.
Energy-wise, thanks to the Mini LED backlight, it uses power efficiently for what it offers, important in homes where electricity costs matter.
Why Choose the 85C8K in Kenya?
If you’re after a premium large-screen TV that doesn’t compromise on picture, sound, or smart features, the 85C8K stands out. It’s large enough for immersive viewing, modern enough for streaming and gaming, and built to fit modern Kenyan home setups.
