TCL is right to question Samsung’s use of the term “Mini LED”
Summary
TCL has sued Samsung, accusing the company of falsely marketing some of its budget TVs as "Mini LED" models when they lack true Mini LED technology. The main issue is that Samsung’s M-series TVs use software-based dimming instead of the advanced full array local dimming (FALD) hardware that defines genuine Mini LED TVs.Key Facts
- TCL filed a lawsuit against Samsung claiming Samsung's M-series TVs are not true Mini LED TVs.

- Mini LED TVs use many small LEDs grouped into zones that can be turned on or off individually, called full array local dimming (FALD).
- Samsung’s M-series TVs use “Supreme Mini LED Dimming,” but this is software-based, not hardware-based FALD technology.
- Software-based dimming adjusts brightness through programming but does not control LEDs individually.
- True Mini LED technology helps improve contrast and picture quality by controlling tiny LED zones separately.
- TCL claims Samsung’s M-series TVs recycle old low-end LED technology with only software tricks to appear like Mini LED TVs.
- Samsung has said it will strongly defend against the lawsuit but did not respond to detailed questions.
