So what makes a TCL TV… effectively, a TCL TV? 

In latest years, one of many defining traits of TCL TV’s is their use of Roku TV, which seems in a lot of the mid-range fashions in North America. By leveraging Roku’s strengths, TCL TVs have an unimaginable library of subscription-based streaming companies like Hulu, Netflix, and Amazon Prime Video.

TCL’s focus in 2020 is in enhancing current TV ranges with QLED and Mini-LED expertise, in addition to pushing additional into 8K decision applied sciences. TCL co-founded the 8K Association, which works to “define 8K display performance standards and support the outreach and promotion of 8K to consumers and to industry partners, like streaming services.”

As its name implies, mini-LED panels pack in more LEDs into each inch of a screen than traditional TVs – over 25,000 in the 75-inch 8-Series Mini-LED TV – promising even light distribution, uniform color reproduction and wider viewing angles. 

We’ll see our first TCL TVs with HDMI 2.1 support, too, enabling 8K/60Hz and 4K/120Hz video passthrough over cable input.

TCL’s QLED (quantum dot) displays support a wide color gamut display, approaching 100% of the DCI-P3 color space coverage. This, alongside TCL’s mini LED technology, should make for more vibrant colors, heightened contrast, and better viewing angles. 

In 2019, TCL also launched a new AI smart platform, TCL AI-IN, and it’s working to integrate its smart AI-powered products with partners like Android TV, Roku (in North America only), and Amazon Alexa.

TCL doesn’t currently trade in OLED TVs, though it does have plans down the line for OLED panels that feature emissive quantum dot pixels: something that we know Samsung is working on too.

TCL continues to work on a number of more unusual form factors, like massive curved screens and concrete subwoofers, though most don’t make their to market – especially Western ones.
