TCL has launched the C7K, a premium QD-Mini LED TV, in Europe. Spotted at a third-party retailer, this model is available in a wide range of sizes and features several upgrades on the C6K. These include a higher peak brightness level, more speakers and a 288Hz Game Accelerator.https://www.notebookcheck.net/TCL-launches-new-premium-QD-Mini-LED-TV-with-gaming-features.985121.0.html
Hang on the C6 series was described as Premium, so this is more "premium". But it appears even entry level bare-bones TV's are now marketed as "premium"

Not just that, though... even so-called "expertise's" labeled "premium" TVs are just... premium, only by brand name and a ridiculous price tag attached to it, but never by REAL users/owners feedback that shows the opposite of these panels HUGE ISSUES for these "premium" panels... and that it's not "noteworthy" enough to inform folks the TRUE pros and cons to these things, so they just... uhm... *coughs... [censor] coughs..* sweep everything under... "premium "... for OUR good, you know. 😏
AAA) "Like the C6K, an HVA panel delivers up to a 7,000:1 contrast ratio, and TCL's new Halo Control System reduces bloom."
50″ model gets 5,000:1 contrast ratio.
BBB) "Plus, the speakers are more impressive on the C7K, a 4.2.2 channel Onkyo sound system supporting DTS Virtual: X."
98″, 85″, 75″, 65″, 55″ & 50″ models get Bang & Olufsen audio instead.
CCC) tcl.com/eu/en/tvs/50c7k website has a typo; "HDR 3000 nits" should be 2000 for the 50″
DDD) Budget-friendly 50″ & 43″ P7K models have also rolled out:
