I've just tested four new TCL Mini LED TVs, and I'm amazed at the step forward the Chinese brand has taken this year
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. At this point, we all know that TCL is capable of producing the occasional excellent TV, particularly once price is taken into account, but in recent years it has struggled for consistency. Previously on Adventures in AV The new LG C5 OLED is a fantastic five-star TV – but here's why I won't be upgrading There have been standout crackers (2023's C845K springs to mind), but we've deemed most of its models to be worthy of a maximum of four stars rather than five (and there are a few threes in there as well). 2025 is very much looking like the year that changes. Earlier this week, my esteemed colleague John Archer and I sat down for a mammoth testing session that included four new TCL TVs, and I was struck not only by how much of a step up they are over last year's models, but also by the consistency the brand seems to have suddenly achieved. We have so far published just one of the reviews from that testing session (check out our new TCL C8K review), but I've already gone on record to say that I really like the 98-inch C7K, too. Well, at the risk of spoiling our upcoming reviews of the other two models, the 65-inch C7K and 50-inch C6KS, they are also very impressive. These are all Mini LED TVs, with the C7K sitting below the C8K that we have reviewed. Both models feature something that TCL calls 'Halo Control Technology'. This is a snazzy name for a whole suite of technologies designed to improve contrast while reducing the flaws we often encounter with backlit TVs, such as blooming or 'halos' of light around bright objects on black backgrounds. On the evidence of the C8K and the two C7K models we looked at, that Halo Control Technology works a treat. I've seen very few Mini LED TVs that can go as bright and contrasty as these TCLs while remaining controlled and composed. But almost as important is how TCL seems to have matured in the way it tunes its TVs. Across the board, these TVs combined superb punch, vibrancy and sharpness with a level of balance and control I haven't typically associated with the brand before. The Filmmaker Mode has been particularly well implemented, delivering a less processed and more cinematically authentic picture without the sort of drab flatness that's all too common from the Filmmaker Modes of many rival backlit TVs. The smaller, much cheaper CK6S doesn't feature the new Halo Control Technology, yet its contrast and composure are still very good for the low asking price (just £400 in the UK at the time of writing). Again, though, it's the TV's general balance of punch and authenticity that really appealed to me. What's perhaps most impressive, though, is how alike all of the TVs are. While there are naturally performance downgrades as you drop from the C8K to the C7K and then to the C6KS, the general approach to picture quality is very consistent, indicating careful, considered tuning. The best TV brands have a sort of picture quality DNA that you can see across their models – I can instantly tell a Samsung from a Sony, for example – and it appears that TCL may have now settled on its own. There are still plenty of TCL models we haven't looked at, and perhaps they will contradict what I've seen so far. But on the evidence of these four TVs, it looks like TCL has taken a big step forward this year, and if I were a rival brand that still makes lots of money from sales of backlit TVs, I'd be very worried.

How far mini-LED TV tech has evolved in 9 years and the 'dark side' of Netflix – what I learned on my visit with TCL
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. TCL is a major competitor in the TV market, especially in the world of mini-LED TVs. It has been responsible for some of the best TVs over the past few years, including last year's excellent TCL QM851G in the US and the TCL C855 in the UK. I recently attended an event showcasing TCL's 2025 UK and European TVs, including the C-series mini-LED models, which look primed to take on the best mini-LED TVs from Samsung and Hisense. TCL also carried out various tech demos at the event, including one that showed the inner and outer workings of a mini-LED TV. Three demos caught my eye in particular: one showing the evolution of TCL mini-LED TVs through the years; the deconstructed mini-LED mentioned above; and, lastly, one that revealed how bright or dark the picture can be with shows and movies on streaming services (in this instance, Netflix). Image 1 of 2 Image 2 of 2 The first demo showed the evolution of mini-LED, specifically 65-inch TCL models from 2016 to 2025. The TVs used were the 65X1 (2016), 65X10 (2019), 65C825 (2020), and the 65C8K (2025). Over the years, TCL has added more local dimming zones to the backlights of its TVs, starting with 288 on the X1 and ending with 1,680 for the C8K. Seeing these models side-by-side, the picture quality advantage of having more zones was clear. Watching Life of Pi on the C8K, during a nighttime dream sequence, black levels were rich and contrasted well with the swirling, bright white lights of the spirits, thanks to the TV's greater number of dimming zones. The X10 was surprisingly the next best, but backlight blooming was more apparent, and shadows took on more of a dark gray tone. With a daytime sequence in Life of Pi, the C8K showcased the highest brightness and the most accurate color. Once again, the X10 was second, but the C825 fared better here with bolder colors in the tiger's fur and a stronger perceived depth. Unsurprisingly, the C8K reigned supreme, showing mini-LED's evolution and how important having more dimming zones can be to picture quality. Next up was a demo of the new TCL C-series mini-LED backlight in action, but without a screen to cover it. With the flagship C8K and mid-range C7K side-by-side, both showing the same fireworks video (also displayed on a 'master' screen), the C8K's backlight demonstrated not only higher brightness but more refined detail and stronger contrast than the C7K, which still looked great. Alongside these TVs was a deconstructed mini-LED TV, which had been cut to show the various layers you'd find in one of TCL's sets. This included the mini-LED backlight array (the layer on display in the demo) and three other layers, including one for Light Diffusion (for improved uniformity), QDEF (for enhanced colors) and Light Alignment for better brightness efficiency. Finally, there was the panel that we see on top (although this was turned off). Seeing the panel with its various layers, you could watch the picture taking form as it got further along, adding in the full details as the layers progressed. Netflix may be one of the most popular streaming services, but a Netflix 4K stream is the equivalent of a 1080p Blu-ray, at least in terms of bit-rate. (Streaming often averages around 17 Mbps, whereas standard Blu-ray averages around 40 Mbps, and 4K Blu-ray can hit as high as 128 Mbps, giving it superior picture clarity.) What about brightness? In TCL's demo, a Live Video Analyzer was hooked up to a C-series TV, showing not only the color gamut coverage of a Netflix 4K show but also its average and maximum brightness (in nits). Starting with Emily in Paris, the show hit an average of 40 nits throughout one scene. Doesn't sound very bright, does it? Changing to The Crown, a darkened hallway scene averaged 1 nit. Yes, only 1 nit! This was the same story when cycling through various movies and TV shows on Netflix: the average brightness was lower than I anticipated. The Cloverfield Paradox had a potential max brightness of 700 nits, but only averaged 17 nits in one particular scene. Planet Earth II also hit similar numbers, despite having a very colorful green frog on screen. The takeaway? Your TV may be capable of high brightness, but not everything you watch will take advantage of that capability. I saw a mini-LED 4K TV demo without the pixels – and wow, do more local dimming zones make a difference OLED, mini-LED, LED – which TV type is best for energy efficiency? I spent weeks reviewing the feature-filled TCL QM7K, and it's a great TV that fixes a big problem with mini-LED
