TCL Reveals Incredible Advancements in Next Gen QD-Mini LED, and Introduces the New “Affordable Premium” QM6K Series

New Precise Dimming Series Will be Powered by the Advanced Halo Control Technology Suite

LAS VEGAS, Jan. 6, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — TCL®, one of the world’s best-selling and leading technology companies, today announced revolutionary innovation to power new home entertainment solutions, including TCL’s new QM6K TV Series, at the 2025 International Consumer Electronics Show (CES). Delivering its most advanced technologies for premium QLED TVs that promise dramatically improved performance across a big screen lineup that includes XXL sizes, TCL is already launching its first series with new enhanced QD-Mini LED technology for unprecedented immersion and experiences in cinema, sports, and gaming – the QM6K.

“I’m proud to say that TCL secured its position as top 2 best-selling TV brand for the sixth consecutive year and just received a 2025 Circana Consumer Electronics Performance Award for Top Increase in TV Market Share in North America. On the heels of such a successful year, 2025 will take us to new heights as a dominant player in the CE industry, continuously changing the game with TCL’s groundbreaking innovation,” said Chris Hamdorf, Executive Vice President, TCL North America. “TCL will be doubling down on QLED, QD-Mini LED and XXL screen sizes, as we deliver even more premium options that meet consumer demand while still providing the unmatched value and quality we’re known for.”

Since TCL entered the North American market, the brand quickly changed consumer electronics, proving that leading technology does not have to be costly. Not only did TCL introduce the world’s first big-screen Quantum Dot TV, it also introduced the world’s first Mini LED TV and developed its own powerful TCL AiPQ Processor, all while maintaining its value proposition – provide high quality products that are accessible to all users. TCL’s 2025 lineup, starting with the QM6K, will further reinforce the company’s leadership in the industry as it rolls out new models in a new phased series launch strategy.

2025 TCL TV
TCL’s award-winning QD-Mini LED models, including the world’s first Mini LED TV in 2016, stem from its own Pangu Lab – the world’s first full process Mini LED development center and the only one of its kind in China. Experts in this extensive and advanced lab perform all stages of Mini LED backlight development from concept and R&D to design and materials, as well as component creation, and full system trial production. The TCL Pangu Lab makes significant year-over-year leaps in QD-Mini LED picture quality, and for 2025, the leap is remarkable.

TCL Pangu Lab has developed the new Super High Energy LED Chip which increases brightness output by more than 53%, while also increasing light efficiency by 10%. A brightness boost of this caliber needs to be perfectly focused, so the team also created a new Condensed Micro Lens, a highly upgraded version of the 2024 UWA Dual Arch Lens, utilizing specially formulated optical materials for enhanced stability and a narrower light path for more precise light control.

A redesigned backlight system further reduces optical distance, or OD, between the backlight and diffuser plate, creating the new TCL Micro OD. Minimized optical distance virtually eliminates any halo effect, also known as blooming, and creates clear, sharp edges, even between the brightest white and darkest black. This feature is crucial for creating truly premium Mini LED as, along with the new Lens, it helps provide a 143% improvement in backlight uniformity, and over an 18% improvement in blooming control.

TCL’s enhanced QD-Mini LED backlight technology works in conjunction with a high contrast CSOT HVA Panel that has a better dark state to block out more of the light when the LCD closes, providing up to 7,000:1 static contrast, which is up to 5X better than competitors. Furthermore, TCL has incorporated new Quantum Dot Technology with more vibrant Quantum Crystals to render over one billion colors, with up to 98%+ of DCI-P3 color gamut, providing 100,000 high quality viewing hours. A new Color Optimization Algorithm has also been created to ensure that TCL’s new TVs better activate all of that rich color.

Because fine signal processing is crucial for creating premium picture quality, TCL is adding several new processing advancements for 2025. The first is Zero-Delay Transient Response, for virtually no lag between the input signal and backlight response. This feature helps create higher peak brightness without any after image. TCL has also upgraded to a Bi-directional 23-bit Backlight Controller, allowing granular control of over 65,000 levels of brightness for each LED. In addition, TCL includes a new Dynamic Light Algorithm, which intelligently optimizes the incoming video signal so that SDR signals render at near HDR level, for consistently great picture quality, regardless of the content metadata. All of these hardware and processing advancements combine to create the new TCL Halo Control Technology Suite.

“When it comes to Mini LED, no other brand is as completely vertically integrated as TCL. For 2025, we will fully leverage our extensive hardware and processing expertise to create a truly next gen QD-Mini LED system,” said Scott Ramirez, VP, Product Marketing and Development, Home Theater. “Every aspect of TCL’s new Halo Control Technology Suite has been carefully created and curated to provide stunning picture quality, and our first QM6K Series will now redefine the term ‘Affordable Premium’.”

Powered by its new Halo Control Technology Suite, TCL is launching the all-new Precise Dimming Series. The first introduction is the TCL QM6K, which offers a level of picture quality that has never been offered in its price band before, including:

New Halo Control SystemUp to LD500 Precise Dimming with High HDR Brightness144Hz Native Refresh RateGame Accelerator 288, for Up to Blistering Fast 288 VRRTCL AiPQ Pro ProcessorDolby Vision IQ (Plus HDR10+, HDR10, HLG, and the NEW DLA)Dolby AtmosDTS Virtual:XIMAX Enhanced & AMD FreeSync CertificationsNEW Dolby Vision Filmmaker ModeNEW Sleep Sounds ModeNEW Hands-Free Voice ControlNEW Onkyo 2.1 Speaker SystemGoogle TVSlimmer FullView 360 Bezel-less Design

The 65″, 75″ and 85″ QM6K models are available now for preorder at www.tcl.com and will come with a complimentary TCL Q75H sound bar.

Breaking Stereotypes: New 3Fun Survey Reveals Media’s Missteps in Polyamory Representation

Published

on

By

NEW YORK, Jan. 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Despite growing visibility, only 11% of polyamorous individuals feel media portrayals align with their real-life experiences, according to a new survey by 3Fun, the leading dating app for open-minded singles and partners seeking like-minded connections. The survey, conducted among 1,312 3Fun users, highlights how media misrepresentation shapes public perceptions, reinforces stereotypes, and impacts user expectations on dating platforms like 3Fun.

Key Findings from the 3Fun Survey:

Limited Representation: Nearly 40% of respondents said they rarely see polyamorous relationships in mainstream media, while 17% reported never seeing them at all.Social Media Influence: Platforms like Instagram and TikTok are driving perceptions of polyamory for 40% of users, far surpassing traditional media like TV and film (10%).Accuracy Issues: Only 11% of respondents described media portrayals as “very accurate,” while 52% rated them as “rarely accurate” or “completely inaccurate.”Mixed Progress: While 39% believe portrayals have improved, 38% said they’ve noticed no change at all.Normalization vs. Stereotypes: Social media is a double-edged sword—40% think it normalizes polyamory, but 34% believe it reinforces harmful stereotypes.Global vs. Local Media: Over 21% noted global media tends to be more open-minded about polyamory than local outlets, which are often conservative or avoid the topic altogether.

“The data from this survey shows how far we still have to go in achieving authentic representation of polyamory in media and pop culture,” said Max Ma, Founder and CEO of 3Fun. “These portrayals don’t just shape public opinion—they directly influence how our users feel about their relationships and their ability to live openly. At 3Fun, we’re dedicated to creating a supportive community where everyone can explore their desires without fear of judgment.”

The Real Impact of Misrepresentation

Nearly half of respondents (47%) identified cultural and societal norms as the biggest barriers to societal acceptance of polyamory—more significant than concerns about media portrayal or visibility. However, respondents emphasized that better representation would lead to:

Easier conversations about polyamory (32%)Improved understanding within their social circles (21%)

Gigi Engle, certified sex and relationship psychotherapist and 3Fun’s resident intimacy expert, echoed this sentiment: “Representation matters. Media has the power to normalize relationships and dismantle stereotypes, but only when done thoughtfully. This survey shows a clear need for creators to approach polyamory with authenticity and care.”

Creating a World Where Love Knows No Limits

The findings highlight the role platforms like 3Fun play in bridging the gap between perception and reality. With over 10 million downloads and 3 million verified active users worldwide, 3Fun provides a safe, inclusive space for polyamorous individuals and couples to connect, explore, and thrive.
