TCL Mini-LED TV

TCL's Mini-LED technology is primarily found in their 6-Series lineup (such as the R655) and higher-end 8-Series models, marketed under the term 'OD Mini-LED' or 'Full Array Mini-LED.' These models compete directly with Samsung's Neo QLED and Sony's X90L series at significantly lower price points.

Many of TCL's recent Mini-LED models, including the 6-Series, feature HDMI 2.1 ports that support 4K at 120Hz, Variable Refresh Rate (VRR), and Auto Low Latency Mode (ALLM) for next-gen console gaming. The number of HDMI 2.1 ports can vary by model and screen size, so check the specific product specifications.

TCL's Mini-LED TVs generally achieve higher peak brightness than OLED panels, often exceeding 1,000 nits in HDR content, giving them an advantage in well-lit rooms during daytime viewing. OLED still holds the edge in perfect black levels and per-pixel contrast, since Mini-LED relies on local dimming zones that can produce some blooming around bright objects.

TCL's recent Mini-LED models run on the Google TV smart platform, which includes built-in apps for Netflix, YouTube, Disney+, Amazon Prime Video, and most major streaming services. Google TV also supports voice search through Google Assistant and integrates with Chromecast for casting from mobile devices.
