TCL officially entered the commercial display market at InfoComm 2025 with the launch of its TCL Professional sub-brand, following its debut of new commercial display innovations at ISE 2025. The new product line targets B2B applications and includes a range of displays designed for continuous use in business environments such as signage, wayfinding, and digital information systems.

The initial lineup includes the TMN, TBN, and TEN series. The TMN series supports 24 by 7 operation, offers 500 nits brightness, and covers 93 percent of the DCI P3 color gamut. It is available in sizes ranging from 32 inches to 115 inches. The TBN series also supports 24 x 7 usage and shares the same 9.9 millimeter bezel and 1.2 inch slim profile as the TMN model,s but delivers 400 nits brightness. Display sizes for the TBN line range from 43 to 75 inches. The TEN series supports 18 by 7 operation with 350 nits brightness and features a three-sided bezel-free design in sizes from 43 to 75 inches.

TCL equips the TMN and TBN displays with Android 13, while the TEN series runs on Android 9. All models are designed to fit commercial use cases that require consistent performance and visual clarity.

The company’s commercial display initiative is backed by CSOT, a TCL group company and one of the largest panel manufacturers globally. This integration allows TCL to maintain control over its hardware components and manufacturing processes, which may benefit performance and supply chain reliability.

TCL’s displays will be used in the upcoming Olympic Games as part of its role as an official sponsor. The displays will support visual communications within Olympic Villages through applications such as digital signage and navigation systems.

TCL Commercial Display

At InfoComm, TCL is also highlighting its growing focus on software compatibility. While the displays remain software agnostic, TCL is demonstrating integration with Videri, a company that offers cloud-based content and device management tools. The Videri Embedded system allows content delivery and monitoring directly from within the display, helping businesses deploy digital signage with fewer technical barriers.

TCL has introduced a five-year warranty for the TMN and TBN models. The warranty reflects the company’s approach to meeting the reliability expectations of commercial customers. Visitors can view the full lineup and demonstrations at booth number 1642 during InfoComm 2025.

In related news, TCL has launched the C6K QD-Mini LED TV series in Europe, featuring a 144Hz refresh rate and gaming-focused features. Meanwhile, the QM5K QD-Mini LED TVs have been introduced in the US, offering premium display technology, advanced HDR capabilities, and features tailored for gamers.

Washing machines have long freed us from hand scrubbing, but they still falter when it comes to tough stains. TCL’s AI Super Drum T7R Pro wants to change that. The company claims it achieves a 1.31 clean ratio, driven by a fully AI-powered wash system. During China’s 618 shopping festival, it surged to the top of bestseller lists on JD.com and Tmall, sparking real consumer interest.

At this year’s AWE 2025, TCL showed off the T7R Pro as proof that Chinese appliance tech has reached global heights. The company, with 30 years of expertise and over 1,600 patents, has already won awards like the iF Design and IFA Innovation Gold. Now it is pushing toward smarter, cleaner washing.

TCL T7R Pro AI Super Drum Washing Machine

The hardware is a big part of the story. The 540mm drum, larger than industry norms, lets clothes tumble with more force, helping dislodge deep grime. Six 6D lifters with bionic ridges guide garments in an S-curve, targeting hard-to-clean zones like collars and cuffs. Even delicate fabrics benefit, thanks to a wave-patterned drum wall that cushions clothes. Silk and stuffed toys come out pristine.

But the real shift is AI. TCL’s Fuxi AI model reads fabric and stain types using eight sensors. Toss in a mixed load of cotton and wool? The machine automatically adjusts wash settings and temperatures. It also doses detergent with near-perfect precision, guided by optical sensors, keeping waste and residue to a minimum.

Drying gets an upgrade too. Instead of blasting clothes with high heat, the T7R Pro uses a low 55°C cycle to keep garments soft. For delicates, TCL offers the compact Minion Mini Washer, with high-temp and UV cycles perfect for underwear and stubborn stains.

TCL T7R Pro AI Super Drum Washing Machine

The T7R Pro blends brute cleaning power with AI finesse. It feels less like a washing machine and more like a connected home device that knows how to treat your clothes and your time.

In related news, TCL has launched the C6K QD-Mini LED TV series in Europe with a 144Hz display and gaming features, while the QM5K QD-Mini LED TVs have debuted in the US with premium display technology and HDR.

TCL has launched the C6K QD-MiniLED TV in European markets following its debut in India in May. The model appears under different names depending on the region, including C61K and C69K.

TCL C6K QD-MiniLED TV Specifications

The C6K supports multiple HDR formats, including Dolby Vision IQ, HDR10+, and HLG. The high peak brightness level allows viewers to see clear images even in bright rooms. TCL includes a High Vertical Alignment (HVA) panel with a native contrast ratio between 6000:1 and 7000:1, depending on the model. The panel also offers a wide viewing angle and power-efficient performance.

The TV supports a native 144Hz refresh rate at 4K resolution. TCL has included Variable Refresh Rate (VRR), MEMC 120Hz motion smoothing, and AMD FreeSync Premium Pro to improve the visual experience during fast-paced gaming and video playback. Features like Game Master Mode, Gamebar, and Superwide GameView add additional customization and responsiveness for gamers.

TCL uses its in-house AiPQ Pro Processor to enhance picture quality in real time. The chip performs pixel-level image adjustments and adapts brightness and contrast based on ambient lighting. The AI Contrast feature improves detail visibility in both dark and bright scenes by adjusting the image according to the viewing environment.

The C6K comes with an integrated 2.1-channel Onkyo speaker system. TCL includes independent subwoofers on the back of the TV to deliver deeper bass. The audio system supports Dolby Atmos and DTS Virtual:X, which aim to provide immersive, multi-directional sound without requiring external speakers.

The TV runs on Google TV and supports Google Assistant voice commands. It includes HDMI 2.1 and HDMI 2.0 ports, USB 3.0, Ethernet LAN, and Wi-Fi 6. TCL has also received TÜV Rheinland certification for low blue light emissions, which may help reduce eye strain during extended viewing sessions.

TCL TV C6K Premium QD-MiniLED TV

TCL is expanding its QD-Mini LED ambitions in the US with the launch of the new QM5K series, a feature-packed 4K smart TV lineup designed to strike a balance between premium performance and accessible pricing. Positioned as the entry point in the brand’s 2025 Mini LED range, the QM5K sits just below the more advanced QM6K lineup and follows closely on the heels of TCL’s flagship Q8MK debut.

TCL QM5K QD-Mini LED Specifications

At first glance, the QM5K doesn’t scream “entry-level.” It borrows much of the premium DNA from TCL’s higher-end sets, starting with the QD-Mini LED backlight system paired with the company’s new Halo Control System. This combo, now trickling down to more affordable models, allows the QM5K to push for deeper contrast and brightness precision, with up to 300 local dimming zones (LD300) helping it deliver richer blacks and more controlled highlights.

Color performance is similarly ambitious. Thanks to its QLED layer, the TV achieves vibrant, punchy tones while maintaining accuracy across a wide gamut, ideal for HDR content. Speaking of which, TCL packs the QM5K with nearly every major HDR format: Dolby Vision IQ, HDR10+, HDR10, and HLG, all covered under its HDR Pro+ umbrella.

TCL QM5K QD-Mini LED TV

TCL’s AIPQ Processor sits at the core, dynamically optimizing contrast, color, sharpness, and even backlighting in real-time, based on the input signal. It also powers Motion Rate 240 with MEMC frame insertion, a tech cocktail designed to reduce blur and improve clarity for fast-paced scenes, be it in films or competitive gaming. For gamers, TCL throws in its Game Accelerator 144 tech (on 55-inch and up), along with Auto Low Latency Mode (ALLM) for responsive, lag-free gameplay.

Audio isn’t an afterthought either. Models 55 inches and above include an Onkyo 2.1-channel speaker system with a built-in subwoofer. TCL also supports Dolby Atmos and DTS Virtual:X for immersive 3D sound, even through the TV’s onboard speakers.

Design-wise, the QM5K aims for minimalism. It’s ultra slim, with discreet cable management and easy-access ports, all wrapped into a clean aesthetic that won’t look out of place in modern living rooms. It runs on Google TV, supporting both Chromecast and Apple AirPlay 2, and integrates smoothly with Google Assistant, Amazon Alexa, and Apple HomeKit for voice control.

Pricing and Availability

The TCL QM5K series is now available across major US retailers in multiple screen sizes. At Best Buy, the series starts at $349.99 for the 50-inch model. Official MSRPs are as follows:

  • 50″ QM5K – $649.99
  • 55″ QM5K – $699.99
  • 65″ QM5K – $899.99
  • 75″ QM5K – $1,199.99

In related news, Samsung has sued TCL over OLED display patents in its latest legal move. Meanwhile, TCL has launched its C8K QD-Mini LED TV series in Europe, featuring premium display and audio upgrades.

Samsung has filed a fresh lawsuit in a Texas federal court accusing Chinese smartphone maker TCL and its affiliates of infringing multiple OLED display patents. The suit also names two U.S.-based companies, Ultimate Eshop LLC and eTech Parts Plus LLC, which Samsung says are selling or importing replacement OLED displays that violate its patents.

In the filing, Samsung claims that TCL China Star Optoelectronics Technology Co. and Wuhan China Star Optoelectronics Semiconductor Display Technology Co. are producing OLED panels that infringe on three key patents: U.S. Patent No. 9,330,593, No. 7,414,599, and No. 11,594,578. These patents cover OLED pixel circuits and driving methods.

Samsung says it notified TCL of the alleged violations back in July 2022 but claims the company has continued to produce infringing displays. The complaint specifically targets OLED screens used in several TCL smartphones sold in the U.S., including the TCL 10 Pro, TCL 20 Pro 5G, TCL 30, TCL 30 5G, and TCL 30+.

Samsung TCL Lawsuit

The legal battle builds on a prior case at the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC), where the ITC ruled that Samsung’s patents were valid and found that certain companies, including eTech Parts Plus, had infringed them. TCL had attempted to intervene in the ITC case after replacement OLED panels it produced surfaced in the U.S. market.

Samsung is also leaning on a recent win at the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB), which last year upheld the validity of two of the contested patents, bolstering the company’s legal position.

Samsung declined to comment on the latest lawsuit. TCL and the U.S.-based companies named in the suit have not yet responded to requests for comment.

In related news, TCL C8K QD-Mini LED TV series launches in Europe with advanced display and audio features. Meanwhile, TCL’s deal with LG further consolidates Chinese dominance in the display market.

TCL has launched its new C8K QD-Mini LED TV series in Europe. This lineup is identical to the TCL QM8K series released in the US last month. The European version, also known as the C81K in some markets, had already been previewed in April. It is now available in countries including Spain, France, and Italy.

TCL C8K QD-Mini LED TV Specifications

The C8K series uses TCL CSOT’s CrystGlow WHVA Panel with an almost bezel-free ZeroBorder design. TCL claims the panel offers 40 percent wider color viewing angles compared to previous models and significantly reduces glare with its anti-reflective surface. The combination of ultra-thin bezels, improved panel construction, and aerospace-grade aluminum alloy gives the C8K a premium, modern appearance.

Each TV in the series features TCL’s Halo Control System. The system enhances color accuracy and gray scale performance while reducing blooming and halo effects. The new Super High Energy LED chip and Super Condensed Micro Lens allow for better light control. The series also integrates TCL’s Micro OD technology, which minimizes the optical distance between the backlight and diffuser plate to improve image clarity.

The C8K supports up to 3,840 local dimming zones and achieves a peak brightness of up to 5,000 nits on the 98-inch model. The panel delivers a native contrast ratio of 7,000:1 and covers 97 percent of the DCI-P3 color space using advanced Quantum Dot technology.

TCL C8K QD-Mini LED TV

The series also includes TCL’s Zero-Delay Transient Response technology, which minimizes lag between the input signal and backlight response. This ensures clearer motion and more accurate rendering of fast-moving content. Gamers will benefit from a 144Hz native refresh rate and Game Accelerator 288Hz support, along with AMD FreeSync Premium Pro certification.

The C8K features Audio by Bang & Olufsen, with up-firing Dolby Atmos drivers for immersive audio performance. The TVs also support Dolby Vision IQ, HDR10+, and IMAX Enhanced certification. TCL has added a new backlit remote and hands-free voice control.

The C8K runs on Google TV and supports popular services like Apple TV and Disney+. It also includes Apple AirPlay and Google Chromecast for wireless content sharing, along with Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth support.

TCL has not yet confirmed availability for other European markets such as the UK.

Pricing for the TCL C8K series in Europe is as follows:

  • 65-inch model: €1,499
  • 75-inch model: €1,899
  • 85-inch model: €2,499
  • 98-inch model: €3,499

In related news, TCL’s new panel supply deal with LG has further consolidated the display market under Chinese manufacturers, while its next-generation HVA panels are quietly playing a key role in shaping the future of competitive esports through improved response times, contrast, and viewing angles.

The LCD TV panel industry has quietly but decisively shifted into Chinese hands. New data from RUNTO Technology reveals that TCL’s acquisition of LG Display’s Guangzhou LCD factory is more than just a business deal. It marks a turning point for the global display supply chain.

As of April 2025, only one major non-Chinese manufacturer remains in the large-size LCD TV panel business: Sharp’s SDP Gen 10.5 plant in Guangzhou, a Japanese outpost surrounded by an industry now dominated by China. Everywhere else, from fabrication to shipping, it’s Chinese panel makers setting the pace.

That shift is backed by numbers. Global shipments of large LCD TV panels fell to 18.7 million units in April, an 11.3 percent drop year-on-year and the lowest in over a year. But the distribution of those panels tells a clearer story. Chinese manufacturers, including those from mainland China and Taiwan, now account for more than 95 percent of global output.

Mainland China alone covered a commanding 71.1 percent of shipments last month, up significantly from last year. It is a surge not just in volume but in influence. TCL CSOT, BOE, CHOT, and HKC are now effectively steering the LCD panel market, from price setting to supply negotiations with global TV brands.

Even Taiwan’s legacy players are holding ground. Innolux and AUO combined to grab 24.5 percent of the market in April, signaling a resurgence that’s notable, though still dwarfed by mainland giants.

As for Sharp, it is now the lone foreign holdout, a relic of a time when Japan led the panel race. With a shrinking 4.4 percent market share, even that position looks increasingly fragile. If the current trend holds, the LCD panel business could soon be entirely operated by Chinese stakeholders, leaving little room for competition and even less for geopolitical neutrality in the global TV supply chain.

In related news, TCL has launched the Q6C Premium QD-Mini LED TV series in India, while the C7K QD-Mini LED TV is set to debut soon in the Philippines.

TCL CSOT provided its HVA gaming displays for Season One of the Intel Master Challenge (IMC), which concluded on May 24 in China with a final match of Naraka: Bladepoint. The event marked a high point in grassroots esports competition, with thousands of teams competing across regional stages.

More than 3,000 teams participated in the tournament, following a format that included internet café qualifiers, regional playoffs, and a national final. Intel introduced a custom AI-powered tactical analysis system during the finals. The system generated real-time visual data such as heatmaps and skill usage breakdowns. It allowed teams to review performance and adjust strategies, regardless of their competitive background.

TCL CSOT deployed its HVA BLACK display technology for the tournament. The panels featured native contrast ratios up to 5000:1, high refresh rates, and fast response times. These specifications supported player visibility in dark in-game environments and reduced motion blur during fast-paced sequences.

Online platforms saw increased engagement around the IMC. Streaming sites hosted dedicated commentary sessions, while user-generated content from the matches circulated on social media. The game publisher implemented a tournament-specific version of Naraka: Bladepoint to balance gameplay for the event. Intel and other technical partners supported the broadcast infrastructure and competitive environment.

TCL CSOT HVA Displays

TCL CSOT has provided display panels for the IMC for two consecutive years. The company continues to supply high-performance screens for esports events across different levels of play. Its focus remains on panel technology that meets the visual and performance standards required in competitive gaming.

IMC Season Two is scheduled to launch later this year. Organizers plan to update competition rules and integrate additional technology. TCL CSOT will continue to support the event with its latest display hardware.

In related news, Xiaomi’s latest S TV series features TCL CSOT’s low-reflection Mini LED panels, while the upcoming Xiaomi 15S Pro will exclusively use TCL CSOT displays, further reinforcing the strategic partnership between the two companies.
