TCL Launches New Mini LED TVs Featuring Advanced HVA Panels and Halo Control Technology

TCL Electronics, a global Olympic partner and a leading name in consumer electronics, has introduced its 2025 range of Mini LED TVs to the South African market. These new models come equipped with advanced High Vertical Alignment (HVA) panels and TCL’s proprietary “All-domain Halo Control” technology.

Recognised by market research firm Omdia with three Global TOP 1 rankings—Ultra-Large Screen TV Brand, Leading Mini LED TV Brand, and No.1 Google TV Brand globally—TCL continues to affirm its dedication to cutting-edge performance, stylish design, and outstanding value. A key differentiator in the 2025 lineup is the inclusion of HVA panels across the entire Mini LED range, offering 178-degree viewing angles so everyone can enjoy the content clearly from almost any position.

The lineup includes models ranging up to an enormous 115 inches, positioning TCL as the producer of South Africa’s largest TV screens. The new C6K, C7K, C8K, and P8 models all feature full-range 144Hz refresh rates and a cinematic experience powered by next-generation QD-Mini LED technology.

C6K: Elevating Mini LED Technology

The C6K series is built to redefine home entertainment, blending cutting-edge display innovations, sleek design, and immersive audio. Using advanced QD-Mini LED technology, these TVs feature over 512 local dimming zones, high dynamic range brightness, and a wide colour gamut. The result is lifelike scenes with sharp details, vivid colours, and excellent contrast.

This performance is driven by TCL’s exclusive All-domain Halo Control Technology. Covering the full light path from source to display, this innovation integrates high-efficiency light-emitting chips, proprietary lens systems, a micro optical distance (Micro-OD) structure, precise light and shadow control algorithms, and TCL’s in-house CSOT HVA panels. This synergy significantly reduces haloing, enhances black levels, and delivers clarity from any viewing angle.

TCL’s approach ensures exceptional contrast and image precision, even in well-lit environments.

Key Features of the TCL C6K:

• QLED Technology: Quantum crystal material ensures a wide colour gamut and long-lasting, vivid visuals.

• 144Hz Native Refresh Rate: Smooth, fluid motion for fast-paced scenes and gaming.

• ONKYO 2.1 Hi-Fi Sound: Rich audio experience, with Dolby Atmos and DTS Virtual:X support.

• Ultra-Slim Design: Magnetic wall-mounting and a sleek profile under 60mm.

• HVA Screen (85” / 98”): Matte, anti-glare screens for comfortable viewing in bright rooms.

• 178° Viewing Angle: Clear visuals from virtually any angle.

• High Contrast HVA Panels (75” and below): Native contrast ratio up to 7000:1, ensuring deep blacks and vibrant detail.

P8: Everyday Excellence Meets Big Screen Brilliance

The TCL P8 brings top-tier display features to a broader audience. With 4K UHD resolution and the AiPQ 3.0 processor, it delivers rich colours, sharp detail, and smooth motion, making it a versatile choice for any type of content.

In the mid-range, the C7K model builds on the C6K’s offering with increased brightness and refined light control. Meanwhile, the C8K ups the ante further by incorporating premium audio from Danish audio brand Bang & Olufsen in sizes ranging from 50″ to 98″, creating a powerful, cinema-like sound experience.

Smart Home Integration

TCL’s 2025 TVs also support smart home features via the Google TV platform and TCL’s ecosystem of connected devices. These include air conditioners, which are seamlessly controlled through the TCL Home App. The new FreshIN 3.0 aircon range boasts an A+++ energy rating and offers up to 36% energy savings—ideal for both hot summers and chilly winter nights in South Africa.

“At TCL, we are passionate about driving innovation that transforms everyday experiences, and we’re proud to be the first to introduce All Domain Halo Control Technology to South Africa with our new range,” says Mike Chen, General Manager of TCL South Africa. “South African consumers have shown incredible enthusiasm for TCL’s innovations, and the launch of the C6K series is another step in delivering premium technology, immersive entertainment, and unbeatable value to homes across the country.”

This new range marks another milestone in TCL’s mission to redefine home entertainment in South Africa, combining advanced technology, bold design, and compelling pricing.
