TCL XESS X3 QD TV Appreciation

A good design is like a timeless totem, with both stories and souls, as well as structures and details. TCL XESS X3 is such a product that has a soul and withstands the details. It perfectly shows the beauty of technology and art. Therefore, the design of this product won the 2017 German iF International Design Award.

The mysterious black tone, shallow Tibetan alloy frame, brings a borderless visual experience. The deep black panel, with silver base and frame, is elegant and stable. This Nordic design style that meets the oriental aesthetic can perfectly integrate the modern home decoration pattern.

The back is a one-piece design, dark gray near black, matte metal back plate and engineering plastic cover. The inside of the fuselage adopts magnesium alloy, which ensures the stability and good heat dissipation.

The TCL XESS X3 uses a curved design that fits the physiological structure of the human eye, so when you watch TV, there is a sense of envelopment and immersion. This is a more realistic viewing experience that flat-panel TVs do not have.


The thickness of the TCL XESS X3 is only an astonishing 6.9mm, which is 0.1mm thinner than the thickness of the iPhone6s. In the case of ensuring safety, stability, and good heat dissipation, such extreme thicknesses can also be achieved.

The most amazing place on the front is the AER5 borderless screen design, while the edge of the fuselage uses advanced CNC diamond cutting technology. It cuts the entire machine to drill five one-millimeter one-piece drilling arcs that look amazing.

The bottom metal panel has a very fine metal brushed texture. In the light of these details are extra dazzling. The bar-shaped indicator design is bright enough to see the flashing of the indicator clearly under normal light during the day.

The sound produced by TCL and Harman Kardon deeply cooperated on the XESS X3 has been elegantly interpreted, with 4 heavy bass speakers, 2 high pitch speakers, 0.6L volume, and 40W output power. A shocking audition experience.

The TCL XESS series is also the first product to be licensed by Harman International and has exceeded the Harman A-level certification standards. Harman Kardon, laser-engraved on the bottom, emerged on the metal-drawing panel, delicate and cold.


The design of the TCL XESS X3 base adopts a unique hanging and seat sharing structure. The mermaid-like form, from the back of the TV through to the bottom, is made of durable, high-strength alloy material that guarantees both the aesthetics of the design and the structural strength of the fuselage.

On the back, a "Smart cube" storage design is adopted, and the slot management cable method can make the alignment more neat and tidy. After the cover is covered, the overall sense of the back surface is very strong, as if it were natural.

In terms of expansion, TCL XESS X3 provides a wealth of access and output methods. Three HDMI ports that support 4K output, two USB ports (including one USB3.0), AV, network port, antenna, and digital, etc., can well meet the daily audio and video needs of users.

Compared to the steady black body, the color of the remote control will jump a lot. XESS X3 colorful key type "5 in 1" remote control, using aluminum alloy molding, ergonomic design is very close to the palm of your hand. The most unique place is that it has a new generation of easy-to-use interactive design. Voice function, air mouse function, somatosensory function, set-top box and TV remote control function.

Summary: As you can see from the appearance part, TCL XESS X3 exudes a strong sense of craftsmanship and faith in the pursuit of high-end quality of life.

We found two very abnormal videos to test the dynamic performance of this TV. The frame of 60 frames moves quickly. The TCL XESS X3's high refresh rate and dynamic response speed result in accurate picture interpretation. The effect of watching the game is also very good, the picture is clear and smooth, there is no phenomenon such as smear out of frame. This is thanks to the MEMC motion enhancement technology provided by the TCL XESS X3. The image is smooth and natural when it comes to dynamic images.
