TCL Goes Big in SA: Meet the 115-inch Mini-LED TV

Tonight, I found myself in the heart of Sandton at the launch of TCL South Africa’s latest TV line-up for 2024 including the monstrous, 115-inch QD Mini-LED TV. A global leader in display technology, TCL first entered the South African market in 2010 and has since become a household name for those seeking quality and innovation at competitive prices.

The excitement was palpable as TCL announced a strategic expansion of their retail footprint, adding Makro and Game to their already impressive network that includes Pick n Pay, JD Group, and others. This move signifies TCL’s commitment to making their products even more accessible to South African consumers.

But the real stars of the show were undoubtedly the new TVs. TCL unveiled a range of models catering to various needs and budgets. And here are some of the highlights with our favourites:

The centerpiece of the event was the awe-inspiring 115″ X 955 Max QD-Mini LED TV. This behemoth boasts the title of the world’s biggest large-screen smart TV, offering an unparalleled viewing experience perfect for home theaters or wowing guests. Pricing for this masterpiece is set at a jaw dropping R399 999. Compared to what competitors have priced their large-screen TV’s at, it is a steal.

What is QD-Mini LED, you may ask. QD-Mini LED is technology that combines the brilliance of Quantum Dots (QDs) with the precision of Mini LEDs. Imagine tiny LEDs, even smaller than those found in traditional Mini-LED TVs, working together with Quantum Dots to deliver exceptional contrast, unmatched brightness, and incredibly vivid colours. The result? A viewing experience that rivals OLED TVs, but with the added benefit of potentially superior brightness and a longer lifespan.

For those seeking a more practical (and wallet-friendly) option, the C755 and C855 QD-Mini LED TVs offer stunning picture quality and cutting-edge features. These 4K models come equipped with TCL’s advanced backlight technology, delivering exceptional contrast and vibrant colours. Pricing for the C755 starts at R11 999 for the 55-inch model, R16 999 for the 65-inch, R29 999 for the 85-inch and R69 999 for the 95-inch model.

TCL didn’t forget about QLED fans. The C655PRO QLED TV and C655 QLED TV provide excellent picture quality with features like Dolby Vision and HDR10+ support, ensuring a truly immersive viewing experience alongside ONKYO audio. Pricing starts at R7 999 for the 55-inch model, R9 999 for the 65-inch, R15 999 for the 75-inch, R22 999 for the 85-inch and R49 999 for the 98-inch model.

Rounding out the line-up is the P755 4K UHD Google TV. This model delivers stunning 4K resolution with the added convenience of the Google TV platform, offering a seamless smart TV experience. Pricing starts at R6 999 for the 43-inch P755 4K UHD Google TV model.

All these models are available to purchase right now with TCL’s very own Takealot store running a sale on majority of their items.

Beyond the impressive TVs, TCL also emphasized their commitment to smart home integration. Their vision is to create a connected ecosystem where your TCL TV acts as the central hub, seamlessly communicating with other TCL smart appliances and even those of competitor brands.
