What are the TCL TV series

Overview of TCL TVs

TCL is one of the largest television manufacturers in the world. It has its own factories for the production of LED panels for TVs. But TCL produces mainly low-cost TV models, they are not very expensive, which attracts many buyers. But in technical capabilities they are inferior to the leading manufacturers of TVs LG and Samsung. There is no unified policy in designating model numbers and it is very difficult to understand which year a TV model belongs to. For different regions, their own designations of TV model numbers are used. Perhaps this approach will change after the launch of a new factory for the production of television screens. A new factory in China began operations in May 2019 and is focused on the production of large screens from 50 inches.
