TCL makes premium 4K Google TVs more affordable with the new QD-Mini LED QM6K Series

At the ongoing CES 2025, leading Smart TV brand TCL unveiled its 2025  QD-Mini LED Google TV lineup—the QM6K Series.

QD-Mini LED QM6K

Up to 85-inch big and comes with high-end features for less

These TVs promise a big leap in picture quality compared to its previous models.

The company said that its TCL Pangu Lab has developed a new Super High Energy LED Chip which increases brightness output by more than 53 percent, while also increasing light efficiency by 10 percent. 

Better and more affordable than the competition

The team also created a new  Condensed Micro Lens, a highly upgraded version of the 2024 UWA Dual Arch Lens using new specially formulated optical materials for enhanced stability and a narrower light path for more precise light control.

A redesigned backlight system further reduces the optical distance (OD) between the backlight and diffuser plate to create the new TCL Micro OD. This solution minimizes the optical distance to virtually eliminate any halo effect, creating clear and sharp edges even between the brightest white and darkest black. Along with its new Lens, the company claims it helps provide a 143 percent improvement in backlight uniformity and over 18 percent in blooming control.

In addition, it works with a high-contrast CSOT HVA Panel with a better dark state to block out more of the light when the LCD closes to provide a 7,000:1 static contrast. TCL said that this is up to 5x better than its competitors.

TCL improves its QD-Mini LED TVs with QM6K Series

They also have a new Quantum Dot Technology with more vibrant Quantum Crystals to render over one billion colors, with up to 98 percent+ of DCI-P3 color gamut, providing 100,000 high-quality viewing hours. There is also a new Color Optimization Algorithm has also been created to ensure that TCL's new TVs better activate all of that rich color.

For processing advancements, TCL has the Zero-Delay Transient Response, for virtually no lag between the input signal and backlight response. The company also upgraded to a Bi-directional 23-bit Backlight Controller, allowing granular control of over 65,000 levels of brightness for each LED.

Then, they have a new Dynamic Light Algorithm to optimize incoming video signal so that SDR signals render at near HDR level intelligently.

With its new Halo Control Technology Suite, TCL also launched a new Precise Dimming Series.

The first TV line with these technologies is the TCL QM6K Series with 4K resolution. The best part, the TVs offer a level of picture quality that has "never been offered in this price band before".
