TCL said it is now shipping its 2022 6-Series 4K mini-LED QLED TVs based on the Roku TV operating system and 2022 5-Series 4K QLED LED-LCD TV models.
The company also introduced its first 98-inch QLED TV offered at an “accessible price point starting below $8,000 and further strengthen the brand’s North American leadership,” said new TCL senior VP Chris Hamdorf.
Both the TCL 5- and 6-Series models continue to deliver high quality contrast performance from Contrast Control Zones, QLED quantum dot nanocrystal color enhancement and an HDR Pro Pack including Dolby Vision support among other profiles. The 6 Series models offer mini-LED backlighting while the 5 Series are standard full array LED backlit LCD TVs.
This year’s version of the premium 6-Series Roku TVs include what the company called “the fastest-ever refresh rate of up to 144Hz,” and TCL’s spin on mini-LED backlight technology with up to 360 Contrast Control Zones of local dimming.
New 6-Series models will be available shortly in screen sizes including 55-inches ($699 suggested retail), 65-inches ($999) and 75-inches ($1499).
The 6-Series TCL Roku TV will come in a new brushed metal FullView edge-to-edge design and is configurable for installations in a wide range of home theater or gaming room setups with a Premium Center Mount pedestal that includes two height options.
The company said this fits most sound bars. The pedestal stand includes integrated cable management to keep wires out of sight.
The sets also offer the company’s Game Studio Pro mode offering advanced gaming features including Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) up to 144Hz and AMD FreeSync. The panel refresh rate is 120Hz.
