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 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.

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

TCL’s latest flagship TV, the QM8K series, is a bold refinement of its QD-Mini LED ambitions, and while its name might mislead some into thinking this is an 8K set, it’s a high-performance 4K display that pulls no punches when it comes to brightness, clarity, or premium design.

Available in sizes from 65 to 98 inches, the QM8K isn’t just about screen real estate; it’s TCL’s most technologically advanced TV to date, carrying the kind of refinements that might finally elevate it into the ultra-premium TV conversation.

Sharp Departure from the Past

Replacing last year’s QM851G, the QM8K brings several key upgrades, beginning with its CrystGlow WHVA panel, which addresses one of Mini LED’s long-standing flaws: poor viewing angles.

TCL’s proprietary WHVA (Wide Horizontal Viewing Angle) technology uses a sophisticated subpixel structure to reduce color shift and improve image uniformity when viewed off-axis. Combined with the brand’s new ZeroBorder design, which trims bezels down to just 3–4mm, the visual impact is both immersive and modern.

The QM8K is also brighter and more precise. It can hit 5,000 nits of peak HDR brightness and features up to 3,800 local dimming zones, making it TCL’s most aggressive attempt yet at rivaling OLED in dynamic range, but with the punchier highlights Mini LED is known for.

According to TCL, that’s 65% brighter than last year’s model and brings 35% more dimming zones, thanks to a new Halo Control System built around improved LEDs, a micro lens array, and dynamic backlight algorithms.

Processing That Thinks Ahead

TCL’s self-developed AiPQ Pro processor returns with even more intelligent tuning, now capable of adjusting contrast, color, and motion at the pixel level. The processor pairs with the new 23-bit Backlight Controller, enabling over 65,000 levels of brightness control per LED.

There’s also a Zero-Delay Transient Response that reduces input lag between signal and backlight, particularly useful for gamers who want minimal latency during fast-paced sessions.

Speaking of gaming, the QM8K comes armed with Game Accelerator 288, which unlocks up to 288Hz VRR in supported games at 1080p. The native 144Hz panel, combined with Auto Game Mode (ALLM) and AMD FreeSync Premium Pro, ensures silky gameplay with less tearing and ghosting.

TCL is also embracing Filmmaker Mode, letting movies play exactly as the creators intended, alongside Dolby Vision IQ, HDR10+, HLG, and IMAX Enhanced certification.

TCL QM8K TV

Audio, Finally Taken Seriously

TCL isn’t stopping at visuals. It’s also bringing in Bang & Olufsen to tune the QM8K’s sound system. The integrated speakers feature up-firing drivers and Dolby Atmos support, and they’re designed by the same engineers behind B&O’s iconic speaker lines. There’s also support for DTS Virtual:X, making the TV feel like a legitimate all-in-one home theater system.

Notably, the QM8K introduces FlexConnect, a wireless surround solution that pairs seamlessly with supported speakers to eliminate messy cable setups. It’s a forward-looking move, especially as more consumers turn to cleaner, minimalist home setups.

Smarter and Better Connected

Running on Google TV, the QM8K feels familiar but smarter. There’s voice assistant support built-in (Google Assistant, Alexa, and Apple HomeKit), plus AirPlay 2 and Google Cast compatibility.

TCL also throws in a new Art Mode, complete with 350+ curated artworks and AI-generated pieces, turning your blank screen into a digital gallery.

Connectivity is future-ready too. You get four HDMI ports (with eARC), USB 3.0, Wi-Fi 6, and ATSC 3.0 (NextGen TV) for OTA 4K HDR content.

Premium, but Not Out of Reach

The 65-inch QM8K starts at $2,299.99, while the 85-inch model comes in at $3,799.99. A 75-inch version priced at $2,999.99 and a massive 98-inch variant for $6,499.99 will arrive later in June.

These prices firmly place the QM8K in the high-end TV bracket, yet TCL still undercuts some of its rivals like Samsung and Sony, especially when comparing panel size and feature set.

TCL has announced that its 2025 QD-Mini LED TVs in the Precise Dimming Series will support Dolby Atmos FlexConnect, a new audio feature from Dolby Laboratories designed to improve flexibility in speaker placement. The supported models include the QM8K, QM7K, and QM6K, all of which are scheduled for release in the coming months.

Alongside the updated TVs, TCL will introduce the Z100 smart panoramic sound speaker, a wireless speaker developed to work with FlexConnect-enabled TVs. TCL confirmed that users will be able to pair up to four Z100 speakers with a single TV, using them in combination with the TV’s internal speakers to build a room-wide Dolby Atmos soundstage.

FlexConnect does not require fixed speaker positions or traditional surround sound setup constraints. Instead, the system automatically adjusts to the layout of the room and the position of each speaker. Dolby has stated that the technology is designed to accommodate a range of environments without needing symmetrical placement, specific distances, or extensive cabling.

The Z100 speaker was first launched in China at a retail price of 1,499 yuan ($206). TCL has not yet confirmed US pricing, but it stated that the speaker will be released in Grey, Teal, and Beige finishes. Availability in the United States is expected to begin in summer 2025, when the new TVs also begin shipping.

According to Dolby, FlexConnect identifies the number and position of connected speakers, then configures the Dolby Atmos output accordingly. This enables a consistent sound experience, whether users place speakers centrally, asymmetrically, or in smaller rooms where wall-mounted systems are not practical.

TCL has confirmed that the feature is part of a broader 2025 product lineup. All of TCL’s upcoming 4K TVs will support Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos, and the company’s entire sound bar range is also Dolby Atmos-compatible. The addition of FlexConnect to the Precise Dimming Series aligns with TCL’s ongoing collaboration with Dolby, which has been active across multiple product generations.

John Couling, Dolby’s Senior Vice President of Entertainment, said that the rollout of FlexConnect with TCL’s Mini LED models represents a step forward in adaptable audio design. He noted that the system removes the need to position speakers in exact locations while still achieving optimized Atmos playback.

In related news, TCL has launched the QM8K QD-Mini LED TV featuring its new CryStGlow WHVA panel and an ultra-thin ZeroBorder design, while Xiaomi’s latest S TV Series has adopted TCL CSOT’s low-reflection Mini LED panels, designed to minimize glare and improve visibility in well-lit rooms, further expanding the reach of TCL’s advanced display technologies across the TV market.

TCL is pushing the boundaries of premium home entertainment with its newly announced QM8K QD-Mini LED TV, the flagship successor to last year’s QM851G. Building on its own panel innovation and signature backlight tech, the 2025 QM8K lineup is a statement of intent: more precision, more brightness, and a design that nearly disappears.

TCL QM8K QD-Mini LED TV Specifications

At the heart of the QM8K is TCL’s CrystGlow WHVA panel, a custom-designed high-contrast LCD that promises significantly wider viewing angles and improved light control. The panel is framed by what TCL calls ZeroBorder—a striking design move that reduces the combined bezel and panel edge to as little as 3mm. This gives the display a nearly edge-to-edge appearance, enhancing immersion, especially on larger sizes like the 85- and 98-inch variants.

TCL pairs this panel with its latest generation Halo Control System, which gets a major overhaul for 2025. It includes a Super High Energy LED chip, a Micro OD (Optical Distance) layer to minimize blooming, and a Bi-directional 23-bit Backlight Controller that enables ultra-fine dimming control across over 65,000 brightness levels. According to TCL, the QM8K can achieve up to 5,000 nits of peak HDR brightness and features up to 3,800 local dimming zones, delivering sharper contrast and improved grayscale performance.

Color fidelity gets a boost too, thanks to a revamped Quantum Dot layer and a Color Optimization Algorithm that work together to push the QM8K’s QLED performance further. Meanwhile, TCL’s Zero-Delay Transient Response reduces lag between signal and panel response, a feature that hardcore gamers and fast-paced movie watchers alike will appreciate.

The QM8K is also equipped with TCL’s AiPQ Pro processor, supports up to 144Hz native refresh rates, and delivers up to 288Hz VRR via Game Accelerator 288. Dolby Vision IQ, HDR10+, and IMAX Enhanced certifications round out the image credentials.

Sound isn’t left behind either. TCL has teamed up with Bang & Olufsen to equip the QM8K with a powerful up-firing Dolby Atmos audio system, ensuring that its visuals are matched by high-fidelity, room-filling sound. DTS Virtual:X and hands-free Google Assistant support come built in, and there’s a new backlit remote to complete the premium experience.

The entire lineup runs Google TV and includes NextGen TV (ATSC 3.0) for over-the-air 4K broadcast support. A newly redesigned chassis with a thinner, flatter cabinet and adjustable pedestal stand is also in place to better fit flush against walls or within furniture setups.

Pricing and Availability

The TCL QM8K series is now available in North America at Best Buy, starting at $2,299.99 for the 65-inch model, $2,999.99 for the 75-inch, $3,799.99 for the 85-inch, and $6,499.99 for the massive 98-inch variant, which is expected to arrive next month.

In related news, Xiaomi has strengthened its collaboration with TCL CSOT. The new Xiaomi S TV series features TCL CSOT’s low-reflection Mini LED panels, while the upcoming Xiaomi 15S Pro smartphone will exclusively use TCL CSOT displays, highlighting the growing synergy between the two companies across both TV and mobile product lines.
