TCL RM9L 85" 4K Smart RGB-Mini LED Google AI TV - 85RM9L-UK vs X11L 85" 4K Ultra HD SQD-Mini LED Smart TV - 85 — Comparison

The TCL RM9L 85-inch (85RM9L-UK) and the TCL X11L 85-inch (85X11LUK) share an 85-inch size, a 215 cm screen and a 2026 model year, but they are different products. The RM9L is a QLED with a WHVA 2.0 Ultra panel, Bang & Olufsen sound and Gemini support, while the X11L is a QD-Mini LED set with Google TV. The RM9L weighs 50.4 kg with its stand and the X11L 52.6 kg, so the weight difference is small.

The differences are in picture and sound features. The RM9L offers Dolby Vision, Hybrid Log Gamma, an anti-reflective panel, Apple AirPlay 2 and Google Assistant, with Bang & Olufsen audio and a two-year guarantee. The X11L offers BBC iPlayer, ITVX, My5, NOW TV and Spotify, plus Dolby Atmos and a five-year guarantee, but it does not include Dolby Vision, an anti-reflective panel or AirPlay 2. Both are rated at 155 kWh per 1,000 hours in standard dynamic range.

The RM9L's audio and anti-reflective screen are its most distinctive features, and the anti-reflective panel suits a bright living room where glare is a concern. The X11L's streaming apps are its strongest point for UK viewers, and its five-year guarantee is three years longer than the RM9L's.

Bottom line: choose the TCL RM9L if you want Dolby Vision, Bang & Olufsen sound and an anti-reflective panel, and can accept a two-year guarantee; choose the TCL X11L if BBC iPlayer and ITVX matter to you and you want the five-year guarantee without needing Dolby Vision.
