The living room TV is probably the central gathering place of your home. It’s where your friends get together for live sporting events, where you and your kids take on the world in Call of Duty®, and where family movie nights signal the end of a long work week.
Your living room TV is probably your most coveted screen, and it’s probably received more of your time in recent years. This all makes the picture quality of your TV critical.
If you’re looking to upgrade your TV to the best possible big-screen experience, a Mini-LED TV is what's going to give you next-level picture performance.
Take it from TCL, the brand that pioneered this innovative technology.
What is a Mini-LED TV?
Most TVs on the market are powered by LED, thanks in large part to their brightness and longevity. An LED TV uses an LCD panel, and LEDs function as the backlight, or “engine” of the TV, shining through the LCD panel to make your picture. While the LCD shows the picture, the more light that comes through from the LEDs, the brighter, more vibrant, and more colorful the picture will be.
Mini-LEDs, as the name suggests, are smaller LED diodes that around 0.2 millimetres in size or smaller. Because they’re smaller, manufacturers of Mini-LED TVs (like in TCL's 6-Series) are able to pack in a higher number of LEDs compared to standard LED TV backlights—in some models upwards of 25,000 micrometer class Mini-LEDs—compared with maybe a few hundred on a traditional TV.
TCL introduced the world’s first Mini-LED TV in 2019 and has continued to produce TVs using this revolutionary technology thanks to its powerful picture performance. TCL’s 3rd generation of Mini-LED technology has been introduced, as other TV brands were just introducing their first!
What Exactly do More Mini-LEDs Produce?
In a nutshell, more Mini-LEDs produce better picture quality than a traditional TV.
While this type of TV delivers great dark room viewing, they even shine in bright rooms (pun intended). Imagine having your buddies over in the middle of the day to catch a ball game. You’ve got the blinds up and are letting in natural light so that you can entertain. That’s where thousands of Mini-LEDs make a difference to produce a bright, vibrant picture – under all lighting conditions.
This is a huge benefit compared to other TV technologies that don’t get bright enough and only perform their best in a dark room with controlled lighting.
Let’s face it, you want to upgrade to a TV that adjusts to your home and content, not the other way around.
Perfect Highlights and Details
TCL’s Mini-LED TVs feature Contrast Control Zones™ technology, also known as local dimming, which uses the Mini-LEDs to deliver dramatic contrast between bright and dark areas of an image simultaneously. Using this technology is the only was an LED TV can display the blackest-blacks and whitest-whites on screen at the same time.
Picture a scene in a movie of a pre-dawn horizon. It starts mostly dark, right? Then the sun starts to peek over the horizon at sunrise. On a Mini-LED TV, that sun really lights up, in a captivating, lifelike picture, while the rest of the sky around it still displays deep, inky blacks.
The striking brightness of a Mini-LED TV works with powerful contrast control to produce more dramatic highlights and an ultra-vivid picture so close to reality, it makes you forget you're looking at a screen.
In short, having great contrast is what adds detail, depth, and dimension to what you’re watching.
Brilliant Color
Mini-LED TVs offer more powerful pixels as we’ve discussed, lending themselves to delivering great contrast and a life-like picture. But they also produce intense colors.
TCL’s Mini-LED TVs also feature QLED, or quantum dot technology. It’s another technology pioneered by TCL, having launched the world’s first big-screen TV with QLED several years ago.
Remember learning about colors in grade school? Do you recall mixing two colors together to get a new color? With QLED, TCL TVs start with a palette of over a billion colors to display out of the box. Combining that huge color space with the brightness of Mini-LEDs lends not only a colorful picture, but one that’s vibrant and lifelike no matter the lighting conditions!
Choosing a Better Big-Screen Experience
TCL has a selection of Mini-LED TVs with a wide range of features and performance levels. Best of all, you can upgrade to a wide range of sizes, even wall-devouring screen sizes.
Imagine a more immersive way to enjoy your favorite sports, movies, and video games. At 75-inches and above, a TCL big-screen TV (especially one with Mini-LED technology) can take your viewing to the next-level.
What About Other Technologies?
Dramatic contrast for amazing detail. Stunning color accuracy and incredible realism. Vibrant picture, even in the brightest rooms. TCL's Mini-LED TVs sure do stand out.
While other TV display technologies do certain things well, most fall short in offering so many benefits to viewers. Mini-LED technology is becoming synonymous with the best TV experience simply because it checks so many of the boxes that most people look for in a new big-screen TV.
That's why TV brands have followed TCL's lead and have scrambled to introduce Mini-LED TVs of their own.
Even the likes of Apple have embraced the power of Mini-LED to produce displays that are thinner, more efficient, and offer less risk of burn-in or degradation, besides the more obvious benefits of an amazing contrast and brightness.
So, a perfect viewing experience is available to enhance what you want to watch or play. Find out more and make the ultimate upgrade.
