Samsung and Sony are gearing up to spotlight their latest RGB Mini LED technologies at IFA 2025 in Germany this September. Samsung plans to unveil a massive 115-inch RGB Micro LED TV, while Sony will showcase its professional-grade RGB Mini LED display system, focusing on high color accuracy and image depth. Their involvement signals a broader industry shift toward RGB-based backlighting, and it’s also a nod to China’s growing influence in the display tech space.

RGB Mini LED is emerging as a major advancement in display technology. Unlike traditional Mini LED or quantum dot-based systems, it uses separate red, green, and blue backlight sources. This setup allows for precise color control alongside typical brightness and spatial modulation. The result is better color accuracy, a wider color gamut reaching up to 97 percent of BT.2020, brighter visuals, wider viewing angles, and improved energy efficiency, making it a promising option for the next generation of premium displays.

Hisense RGB Mini LED

Chinese brands, especially Hisense, are ahead of the curve. Hisense was the first to mass-produce RGB Mini LED TVs. It developed the “Xinxin H7,” the world’s first AI image chip designed for RGB light color co-control. Paired with a custom algorithm, the chip enables 3×26-bit precision and manages 15,680 color control zones, providing much finer adjustments to hue, saturation, and brightness than conventional solutions.

Hisense has also tackled some of the tougher engineering challenges around RGB LED chip development, boosting purity, efficiency, and durability. These improvements not only enable reliable large-scale production but also form a self-sufficient RGB Mini LED ecosystem within China.

Analysts believe that Samsung and Sony joining the scene will accelerate R&D and help reduce manufacturing costs. Their presence could also lead to deeper collaborations with Chinese suppliers, expanding the global supply chain around RGB Mini LED.

TCL TVs sold in the U.S., from budget 4-Series models to high-end QLED and Mini LED sets, include a wide range of picture settings. With a few careful adjustments, users can unlock much better image quality across all content types.

This guide outlines how to set up your TCL TV for Movies, Gaming, Live TV and Streaming, and Sports. It covers both SDR and HDR (including Dolby Vision) content and explains platform differences between Roku TV and Google TV.

Before You Start: Turn Off Eco and Adaptive Settings

TCL TV Roku TV

Before adjusting any picture controls, users should disable automatic features that interfere with consistency. On Google TV models, go to Settings > System > Power & Energy and turn Energy Saver off. Also, turn off Adaptive Brightness, Contrast, or any Intelligent Picture options in the settings. On Roku TVs, set TV Brightness to Normal under the general settings menu. These steps ensure the TV will not override manual picture settings.

Movies and Cinematic Content

TCL TV

To get a film-accurate image in a dark room, start with the Movie picture mode. This preset reduces backlight intensity, warms the color temperature, and disables motion smoothing. On Roku TVs, press the star (*) button during playback to access the picture menu and select Movie. On Google TV, go to Settings > Picture > Picture Mode and choose Movie.

Adjust the backlight based on the lighting in your room. For a dim home theater, a 40–50% backlight level works well. In a brighter room, raise it to around 70–80%. Set contrast to 90 or higher for strong highlights. Use the Warm color temperature setting for more natural skin tones. Set Sharpness to 0 to avoid artificial outlines and turn off any motion smoothing options like Action Smoothing or Motion Clarity.

For HDR10 content, keep the Movie mode active, set Backlight and Contrast to 100, and turn Local Dimming or Local Contrast to High. On Dolby Vision content, choose Dolby Vision Dark for night viewing or Dolby Vision Bright in a well-lit room. TCL locks most settings in Dolby Vision mode, but users can still adjust brightness based on viewing conditions.

Gaming (Console and PC)

TCL TV Gaming

TCL TVs include a Game Mode that reduces input lag by disabling unnecessary processing. On Roku TVs, access this under Advanced Picture Settings. On Google TVs, either switch to the Game picture mode or ensure Game Mode or ALLM is enabled when a console is connected.

Keep contrast high and backlight at maximum for HDR gaming. Use Warm color temperature for accurate colors. Set Sharpness to 0 and turn off noise reduction. In HDR games, verify that Local Dimming is still set to High if available. Users should also calibrate HDR using their console’s built-in utility.

For Xbox and PC users with supported TCL models, enable VRR and connect through HDMI 2.1 ports. TCL automatically detects variable refresh signals when Game Mode is active. If the TV shows brightness fluctuations during VRR gameplay, consider setting Local Dimming to Low to stabilize the image.

PC users should rename the HDMI input to “PC” or “Computer” to force 4:4:4 chroma and better text clarity. Set the GPU to output Full Range RGB and ensure the TV’s black level is not clipping shadow detail.

Live TV and Streaming

TCL TV Freely

For general TV watching, use the Standard picture mode. This profile balances brightness, contrast, and color for a wide range of content. Raise the backlight to suit your room lighting. On Roku TVs, select a brighter preset if you are watching during the day. On Google TVs, push the Brightness slider to around 70–100, depending on ambient light.

Keep contrast high and adjust color temperature to Normal or Warm if faces appear too cool. Moderate sharpness, around 10 to 20 on a 0–100 scale, helps with cable news or older YouTube content. Use Low or Auto noise reduction if the signal is low-quality. For motion, enable Low smoothing if you want smoother camera pans, or leave it off for a more natural feel.

In HDR or Dolby Vision streaming, use HDR Bright or Dolby Vision Bright modes for daytime viewing. These modes raise midtones to prevent images from appearing too dim in well-lit rooms. For evening or dark-room viewing, switch to HDR Dark or Dolby Vision Dark for a more accurate tone curve.

Sports Viewing

TCL TV Sports

TCL’s Sports mode is tuned for fast motion and bright environments. Activate this mode during live games to boost clarity and motion smoothness. It increases backlight, contrast, and sharpness and often sets the color temperature to Cool.

Set Backlight and Contrast to 100 to maintain visibility in bright rooms. Sports mode typically enables aggressive motion interpolation by default. On Google TVs, set Blur Reduction and Judder Reduction sliders to high values. On Roku TVs, use Action Smoothing = High. This ensures players and fast-moving objects remain visible during pans.

Use a higher color saturation level (around 55–60) to make team jerseys and field colors look more vibrant. Avoid pushing this too far, or faces may look unnatural. Leave Clear Motion or LED Motion off to avoid flickering and loss of brightness.

For HDR sports, use HDR Bright or a bright Sports HDR mode if available. Keep Local Dimming on High to maintain image depth.

Final Thoughts

Each TCL model may have slight differences in menu structure, but the core settings remain consistent. Disable adaptive features, choose a mode based on the content type, and fine-tune color and brightness to suit your environment. Calibrating each HDMI input separately ensures every source looks its best, whether you are watching a film, gaming online, or streaming daytime TV.

In a world of increasingly dazzling TV displays, the terms QLED, Mini LED, and OLED can feel more like buzzwords than buying guides. But the truth is, each technology represents a distinct approach to image quality, with strengths that cater to different viewers, rooms, and price points.

TCL is pushing premium tech into affordable territory, offering some of the best examples of QLED and Mini LED implementation in 2025. OLED, while not yet available in TCL’s consumer lineup, is still worth comparing to understand what you might be trading off. So what are the differences, and which display tech makes the most sense for your next upgrade?

Let’s break it down.

The Basics: How Each Tech Works

QLED is TCL’s most accessible display technology. Short for Quantum Dot LED, it’s fundamentally an LED-backlit LCD TV with a layer of quantum dots that boost color brightness and volume. These dots glow when hit by light, helping TCL’s Q6 and Q7 series produce wider color gamuts and brighter highlights compared to traditional LEDs. But QLED is not self-emissive, meaning black levels and contrast rely on backlight control.

Mini LED takes this concept further by drastically increasing the number of backlight zones, sometimes into the thousands. TCL pioneered this in 2019 and now leads the pack in mass-market Mini LED TVs, especially in the QM7K, QM8K, and flagship X11K series. These sets offer ultra-high brightness (up to 5,000+ nits in some models), better local dimming, and more precise light control across the screen, bringing them closer to OLED-like contrast without the downsides of organic pixel aging.

OLED, meanwhile, is entirely different. Each pixel emits its own light, so it can shut off completely for true blacks and infinite contrast. The downside? Burn-in risk from static content, lower peak brightness (especially in full-screen scenes), and a price premium in larger sizes. TCL is still developing its first consumer OLED TVs, likely for late 2025 or beyond, but for now, you’ll need to turn to brands like LG or Sony if OLED is your target.

Picture Quality Breakdown

Let’s talk about brightness. If you’re planning to watch TV in a bright room or just want your HDR highlights to be eye-searingly intense, TCL’s Mini LED models are unmatched. The QM8K series can hit 2,000 to 2,500 nits, while the X11K boasts up to 6,500 nits. OLEDs, even the newest ones, typically top out around 1,000 to 1,500 nits in highlights. In full-screen brightness, they’re even dimmer. QLED sits in the middle, not as bright as Mini LED, but easily hitting 600 to 1,000 nits on midrange models like the TCL Q7.

Contrast? OLED wins. No blooming. No grayish blacks. Just pure, inky darkness. But TCL’s Mini LED sets come close, especially in real-world use. The thousands of dimming zones in the QM8K and X11K allow for excellent black levels with minimal haloing, even if not technically perfect. Standard QLED sets without Mini LED tech (like the Q6) do fine in bright rooms, but their black levels suffer in dim lighting, especially without local dimming.

Color volume and saturation are also strong suits for both TCL’s QLED and Mini LED lines. Quantum dot layers allow these TVs to hit nearly 100 percent DCI-P3 coverage and retain color saturation at higher brightness levels, something OLEDs can struggle with. But OLED takes the edge in color accuracy, especially in darker scenes, and offers more consistent picture quality from wide viewing angles.

Speaking of angles, OLED is the clear winner if you have a wide couch or side seating. TCL’s QLED and Mini LED sets, which use VA LCD panels, tend to lose contrast and shift colors off-axis. That said, TCL has introduced wide-viewing VA tech in some 2025 models (like the C9K series) to improve this, but it still can’t fully match OLED’s uniformity.

TCL TV

Gaming and Motion Performance

For gamers, both OLED and TCL’s Mini LED models are excellent choices. OLED offers near-instantaneous pixel response times (around 0.1ms), which eliminates ghosting and motion blur entirely. But TCL’s QM8K and Q7 series support up to 144Hz refresh rates, VRR, ALLM, and extremely low input lag (around 6 to 10ms), making them top-tier gaming displays too.

Here’s where LCD-based tech wins: burn-in. OLEDs can degrade when static elements like HUDs or logos are left onscreen for long periods. TCL’s QLED and Mini LED TVs have no such risk. If you’re gaming for hours on end or watching news channels with constant tickers, that’s worth considering.

Durability and Power Use

When it comes to long-term durability, QLED and Mini LED win again. The inorganic LEDs used in TCL’s backlights last for tens of thousands of hours without visible degradation or risk of image retention. OLEDs, while much improved in lifespan, can still experience slow pixel wear, especially the blue subpixels, which can lead to uneven brightness over many years.

Power consumption depends heavily on content. OLEDs are very efficient when showing dark content (since black pixels are off), but they can draw more power in bright scenes. Mini LED TVs use more energy when pumping out their extreme brightness levels, but local dimming helps cut power draw during darker scenes. In mixed usage, the differences tend to even out.

TCL’s 2025 Lineup: What Can You Actually Buy?

If you’re in the market today, OLED isn’t part of TCL’s product catalog yet. What you do get is a robust lineup of QLED and Mini LED models at multiple price points. The Q6 is your affordable, wide-color option, great for casual TV watching. The Q7 steps up with 120Hz panels, local dimming, and better HDR chops.

For a premium viewing experience, the QM7K and QM8K Mini LED models are TCL’s best current offerings. They boast high brightness, deep blacks, and all the modern gaming and HDR features you’d want. The flagship X11K, with 14,000 dimming zones and absurd peak brightness.

Which Should You Choose?

If you want the best cinematic picture in a dark room and don’t mind paying a bit more or buying from another brand, OLED is still king. If you want an excellent all-rounder with insane brightness and no burn-in risk, TCL’s Mini LED TVs (especially the QM8K) are the sweet spot. For budget buyers or bright-room viewers, TCL’s QLED TVs offer solid performance and color for the price.

At the end of the day, it’s not about which display tech is best; it’s about which one fits your room, your budget, and your viewing habits. And that’s where TCL’s diverse lineup gives you more control than ever.

In China’s fiercely competitive television market, TCL has once again proven it’s not just playing to win, it’s playing to control the game. According to new data from research firm RUNTO Technology, TCL-branded TVs shipped over 600,000 units in May, making it the No.1 TV brand in the country for the month. But the real story lies behind the scenes. TCL’s secret weapon isn’t just its sleek Mini LED panels or aggressive pricing; it’s MOKA, its little-known but massively powerful in-house manufacturing arm.

MOKA, formally known as Moka Technology, shipped nearly 1.5 million units in May alone, marking its best month in 2025 so far. That’s not just a flex, it’s a full-on chokehold on the OEM segment. The firm now leads the professional TV OEM sector with a staggering 50% margin over its closest rival. Year-on-year, MOKA grew 7%, while monthly growth hit 13.5%. For context, that kind of momentum in hardware logistics, especially in a market flooded with volatility, isn’t just impressive, it’s strategic domination.

Runto May 2025 TV Shipments Report

Trailing behind is BOE VT, the OEM arm of panel powerhouse BOE, which made a noticeable climb to second place with over 1 million units shipped. The company jumped four spots from the previous month, an encouraging sign that it’s gaining traction. But despite this growth spurt, BOE VT still lags far behind MOKA’s crushing lead.

Shenzhen MTC, known in the market as AMTC, remained steady in third place with roughly 900,000 units. TPV, which builds TVs for Philips and AOC, came in fourth at 850,000 units. These brands are holding their ground, but it’s increasingly clear they’re running in a race that TCL has already started lapping them in.

Konka-backed KTC and display manufacturer HKC placed fifth and sixth, with 800,000 and 670,000 units respectively. These numbers suggest solid consistency, but again, they pale next to MOKA’s towering presence.

On the lower end of the list, traditional heavyweights like Foxconn and Innolux are slipping. Foxconn managed just 340,000 units, while Innolux barely registered at 140,000. Both saw significant declines compared to last year, signaling that legacy power is no longer enough to keep pace in China’s hyperactive TV space.

The real takeaway here? TCL isn’t just a TV brand anymore; it’s an ecosystem. And with MOKA’s muscle behind it, TCL is reshaping the rules of the OEM game, all while keeping its rivals looking over their shoulders.

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.

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.

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.
