Super High Energy mini-LED is coming. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works. TCL has announced its new QM6K series of mini-LED TVs at CES 2025. According to the company, the new TVs are part of a “phased series rollout,” with additional series to come as the year progresses. (We expect the QM6K series to be a US-only model, with different Hisense TVs coming in the UK and Europe.).
Along with the QM6K series announcement, TCL detailed a range of new tech enhancements that will be used throughout the company’s 2025 mini-LED TV range. These include a Super High Energy mini-LED chip design that TCL claims will increase brightness by 53% and light efficiency by 10%. Considering that the TCL QM851G, one of 2024’s best TVs, was the brightest TV we’ve yet measured, delivering more than 3,500 nits peak brightness in some modes, that’s really saying something.
Along with higher brightness, TCL is claiming that its 2025 TVs will benefit from a new condensed dual-focus microlens with a narrower light path and a reduced distance between the backlight and diffuser plate. To translate that into plain-speak, TCL has made enhancements to its mini-LED backlight design that will result in less blooming or “halo” artifacts where light areas seep into dark areas – a 67% reduction, according to the company.
