TCL is making it easier to bring QLED technology into your living room without straining your budget. The company has launched the TCL Q51K Series, an entry-level line of 4K QLED Smart TVs now available exclusively at Walmart in the United States. It comes in five sizes: 43, 50, 55, 65, and 75 inches, targeting everyday buyers looking for a premium upgrade at accessible prices.

TCL Q51K Specifications

The Q51K Series features TCL’s Quantum Dot technology, delivering vivid colors and a broader color spectrum with 98% DCI-P3 coverage. It supports major HDR formats, including Dolby Vision IQ, HDR10+, HDR10, and HLG, ensuring enhanced contrast and detail. It equips TCL’s AiPQ Processor, reportedly built on a Realtek chipset, which uses deep learning AI to optimize visuals scene-by-scene for improved brightness, contrast, and clarity.

For gamers, the Q51K Series sports Auto Game Mode with ALLM (Auto Low Latency Mode), automatically adjusting settings for smoother gameplay. It also features Motion Rate 240 with MEMC frame insertion to maintain clear motion, even though the TV uses a modest 60Hz HVA panel.

The Q51K Series sports a modern design with a metal FullView bezel-less frame, giving it a sleek, nearly all-screen appearance that feels more premium than the price suggests.

TCL Solar has officially entered the Korean market, making its presence known at the Korea International Green Energy Expo in Daegu. Fresh off a major brand upgrade, the company took over Booth L260 with a full showcase of its cutting-edge solar lineup including its Shingled, TOPCon half-cut, and BC modules, drawing major attention across the three-day event.

TCL Solar brings next-gen solar tech to Korea’s renewable energy market

This move marks TCL Solar’s first official foray into Korea, backed by the combined strengths of TCL Group, TCL Zhonghuan, and the legendary SunPower, which it acquired earlier this year. The timing is strategic because South Korea, the world’s eighth-largest energy consumer, is racing to overhaul its energy mix under its Carbon Neutrality 2050 plan and is aiming for 30 percent renewable generation by 2030.

At the center of TCL’s display was its G11RA72P BC module, built on SunPower’s advanced technology. The module delivers improved real-world performance over mainstream TOPCon products, with better results in partial shading, temperature coefficients, and power degradation over time, all critical advantages for Korea’s dense, rooftop-heavy solar landscape.

TCL’s Shingled modules also stood out, blending aesthetics and efficiency through a unique one-third cut cell design and high-density packing that promises more power and better durability without sacrificing visual uniformity, a growing priority in urban installations.

The debut was not just about showing off hardware. TCL Solar signed supply deals with two established local players, Dabin E&C and Korea Green Power Co. Ltd., signaling immediate traction in a notoriously competitive and certification-heavy market.

As TCL Solar ramps up its research and development efforts and deepens local partnerships, it is clear the brand is not just entering Korea but is betting on becoming a major force in the region’s renewable energy shift.

In related news, TCL recently launched its T6C-UK 4K QLED Fire TV series in the UK, with prices starting at £399.

TCL Electronics marked its 25th anniversary in the Philippines with a large-scale event at Okada Manila, where the company unveiled its 2025 product lineup and announced a long-term partnership with the International Olympic Committee. The event, themed “Legendary Moment, Timeless Greatness,” was designed to reflect both the company’s history in the region and its future direction.

TCL 25 years

Since entering the Philippine market in 1999, TCL has grown its product portfolio beyond televisions to include air conditioners, washing machines, and refrigerators. The brand now holds top market positions in the country for both TV and AC sales, according to company executives.

At the event, TCL introduced a range of 2025 products, including the X11K QD-Mini LED TV, which features 6,500 nits of peak brightness, a 65,000,000:1 contrast ratio, and support for Quantum Dot color technology. Audio is handled by Bang & Olufsen, reinforcing TCL’s recent push into premium home entertainment. Other announcements included the FreshIN 3.0 air conditioner with air purification capabilities and the Direct Drive+ P660 washing machine, which aims to offer higher efficiency with lower energy use.

The company also presented updates to its refrigerator lineup, featuring models with bottom-mounted heat dissipation, customizable compartments, and T-Fresh sterilization technology.

TCL used the anniversary to emphasize its broader global ambitions. It announced a partnership with the International Olympic Committee that will run through 2032. TCL plans to supply products to Olympic villages and support event operations as part of this agreement. Company executives positioned the partnership as part of TCL’s goal to expand its international visibility and align with large-scale global events.

Local brand ambassadors, including Olympian EJ Obiena and actors Rhian Ramos and Valeen Montenegro, participated in the launch and shared their views on TCL’s role in bringing accessible technology to Filipino households.

As the company looks ahead, TCL says it remains focused on developing practical, energy-efficient, and connected technologies for everyday use.

In related news, TCL secures the top spot globally in ultra-large, Mini LED, and Google TV shipments, and also launches the Thunderbird 32U8 in China, a feature-packed monitor priced under $550.

TCL’s Thunderbird recently launched the 32U8 gaming monitor in the Chinese market. It is now available for purchase on JD.com, priced at 3799 yuan (approximately $525). Let’s check out its key specs.

TCL Thunderbird 32U8 Specifications

The 32U8 comes with a FAST-HVA panel from CSOT that supports a UHD resolution of 3840 × 2160, a 165Hz refresh rate, and a 1ms GtG response time. It features advanced QD-Mini LED backlighting with 1400 local dimming zones and a peak brightness of 1600 nits, enabling DisplayHDR 1400 certification.

The gaming monitor supports 10-bit color through 8-bit + FRC and is factory-calibrated with Delta E<2 color accuracy. The display covers 96 percent of the DCI-P3 color gamut and 99 percent of sRGB, ensuring color precision for professional workflows. It also equips a custom Mini LED driver chip developed in-house by Thunderbird, along with pixel-level Demura calibration across over 50,000 zones for improved brightness and color uniformity.

The monitor sports a modern, functional aesthetic. It includes an RGB-lit rear design dubbed “Wings of Light” and a fully adjustable stand that supports tilt, height adjustment, swivel, and pivot. VESA mount compatibility is also included for flexible setups.

TCL Thunderbird 32U8 Monitor

For audio, the 32U8 features dual 3W stereo speakers tuned for gaming and media playback. While not a replacement for external speakers, they offer a competent onboard audio experience.

The monitor equips two HDMI 2.1 ports, one DisplayPort 1.4, and a USB-C port that supports 90W power delivery. It also comes with two USB-A 3.0 ports, a USB-B upstream port, and a 3.5mm headphone jack. Additional productivity features like KVM switch functionality, Picture-in-Picture, and Picture-by-Picture modes make it highly versatile for professional and multi-device environments.

Thunderbird includes TÜV Rheinland low blue light certification, flicker-free support via 10kHz PWM dimming, and an AM driver chip to reduce eye strain during prolonged use. The monitor draws up to 260W at peak, a fair trade-off for the high-end Mini LED hardware it packs inside.

In related news, TCL has secured the top spot globally across three major TV segments — leading in ultra-large TVs, Mini LED TVs, and Google TV shipments.

TCL Electronics just flexed some serious muscle in the global TV race. According to fresh data from market research firm Omdia, the world’s second-largest TV brand has clinched three top spots in 2024: ultra-large TVs, Mini LED TVs, and Google TVs. That’s not just a milestone, it’s a loud declaration of dominance in the premium home entertainment game.

The numbers speak for themselves. TCL captured a commanding 22.1% share of global shipments for 85-inch and larger TVs last year, outperforming its rivals in the ultra-large category. In the red-hot Mini LED space, it did even better, locking down the No. 1 spot with a 28.8% market share. And when it comes to Google TVs, TCL isn’t just leading, it’s been number one for four straight years, from 2021 through 2024.TCL Achieves Triple Top 1 Rankings in Global TV Shipments

TCL claims the global top spot in three key TV categories

This triple win isn’t a fluke. It mirrors a bigger industry shift where consumers, spending more time at home, are craving bigger, brighter, and smarter screens. Omdia projects that shipments of 80-inch and larger TVs will grow by 35% year over year, taking up 7% of the display market in 2025 and on track to hit 11% by 2030. Meanwhile, Mini LED TVs are expected to reach 9.3 million units shipped by next year.

TCL’s been playing the long game here. It introduced the world’s first Mini LED TV in 2019 and hasn’t slowed down since. Today, its Mini LED lineup boasts ultra-high peak brightness, deep contrast, wide color gamuts, and exceptional longevity, all wrapped in massive screen sizes.

Add to that a tight integration with Google TV, and TCL is shaping up to be more than just a display brand. It’s building a full-stack smart entertainment ecosystem, blending cutting-edge visuals with personalized, AI-driven content. And judging by these numbers, consumers are very much on board.

To keep that momentum going, TCL is doubling down on the high-end segment in its home market. The company recently rolled out several new Mini LED models in China, headlined by the Thunderbird Crane 7 Pro QD-Mini LED TV (2025). This flagship pushes the envelope with an eye-searing 4200 nits of peak brightness, 144Hz refresh rate, and advanced quantum dot tech for richer, more lifelike colors.

It doesn’t stop there. TCL also launched the Crane 6 Ultra and Crane 6 Pro Mini LED TVs for 2025, both designed to deliver finely tuned backlight control and smooth motion performance across a range of content, from high-speed gaming to cinematic HDR viewing. These additions underscore TCL’s ambition to lead not just in volume, but in next-gen visual innovation.
