- TCL adds three more models to its 2026 lineup
- This includes the TCL P8L, another QD mini-LED model
- Two other QLEDs have been introduced, including a Fire TV model
TCL has announced three new models its adding to its 2026 TV lineup, including another mini-LED.
The three new models include the TCL P8L, a new QD mini-LED in the vein of last year’s C-series; the TCL P7L, a new QLED model and finally the V6D, another QLED that uses Fire TV as its smart TV platform instead of Google TV as most other TCL models do.
TCL has also released pricing for each of these TVs which you can find, along with full announced specs, below.

These three models join the previously announced 2026 TVs which include the flagship X11L Super Quantum Dot (SQD) mini-LED, RM9L and RM8L RGB mini-LED TVs and the C8L and C7L. The C8 and C7 will also feature SQD mini-LED for the first time, an upgraded panel over their predecessors the TCL C8K and C7K, two of 2025’s best TVs.
TCL also confirmed that the TCL C6K, easily one of the best budget mini-LED TVs I tested last year, will be carried forward into 2026.
TCL P8L
The TCL P8L will be available in 55, 65, 75 and 85-inch sizes. Prices for each of these models are as follows:
- 55-inch – £649.00
- 65-inch – £849.00
- 75-inch – £1,049.00
- 85-inch – £1,399.00
The TCL P8L is another QD mini-LED TV, similar to the C-series we’ve come to rate highly over the past couple of years. It will feature an HVA panel to the step-up C8L’s WHVA 2.0 Ultra SQD mini-LED panel and the C7L’s HVA 2.0 Pro SQD mini-LED panel, and will come with TCL’s AiPQ processor built-in and support both Dolby Vision and HDR10+ HDR formats. There will also be a Filmmaker Mode included, which was introduced last year.
It will also have a gaming feature set up there with the best gaming TVs, including 4K 144Hz (with a 288Hz accelerator mode), FreeSync Premium, ALLM and an improved TCL Game Bar.
The P8L will use Google TV as its smart TV platform, and it will support Google Assistant, Google Cast, Miracast and Airplay 2.
TCL P7L
The TCL P7L is a QLED TV and will be available in sizes 43, 50, 55, 65, 75 and 85-inches. Prices for these models are as follows:
- 43-inch – £399.00
- 50-inch – £449.00
- 55-inch – £499.00
- 65-inch – £699.00
- 75-inch – £899.00
- 85-inch – £1,299.00
The P7L comes equipped with a QLED panel that TCL says will offer 93% coverage of the DCI-P3 HDR color space (a decent result for a mid-range QLED if proven true). It will also use the AiPQ processor with AI features such as AI Game Agent and AI Cinematic Agent. The TCL P7L will support both Dolby Vision and HDR10+ HDR formats.
While gaming features haven’t been fully confirmed, there is only one HDMI 2.1 eARC port listed, so it’s likely this TV is limited to 4K 60Hz for gaming.
For audio, the P7L’s 43-75-inch models will use a 2.0 Onkyo speaker system. The 85-inch will use an Onkyo 2.1 speaker system.
The P7L will also use Google TV as its smart TV platform and will support Google Assistant, MiraCast, Google Cast and Airplay 2.
TCL V6D
The TCL V6D is a QLED TV that will be available in sizes 43, 50, 55, 65 and 75-inches. Prices for this model are as follows:
- 43-inch – £379.00
- 50-inch – £399.00
- 55-inch – £449.00
- 65-inch – £599.00
- 75-inch – £699.00
The TCL V6D is the most entry-level model of this lineup, but it will still come with a QLED panel. While there’s no Dolby Vision support, it will support both HDR10+ and HDR10. There is also support for VRR and ALLM, and while no refresh rate has been given, we’d again assume it’s going to land at 4K 60Hz. There’s also support for Dolby Atmos.
The big difference between the V6D and the rest of the lineup is that it will use Fire TV as its smart TV platform. It will come with the Voice Remote and will support Alexa.
Even more budget mini-LEDs
TCL’s mini-LED TVs were some of the best I tested last year, with the mid-range C7K in particular striking the right balance between performance and price.
Last year, the P8K (the new P8L’s predecessor) was a QLED TV, but this year, the P8L is getting mini-LED. It’s encouraging to see that mini-LED is being introduced further down the range.
Interestingly, while the P8L shares many specs with the ‘step-up’ C7K and C8K, its launch prices aren’t dissimilar to those of the entry-level TCL C6K. The 65-inch P8L is set to launch for £849, while the C6K 65-inch launched at £799.
It’s unlikely the P8L’s price will actually stay that high for long, as we’ve often seen a massive price decrease several weeks after launch with TCL’s mini-LEDs in previous years.
If the P8L can deliver the picture quality and performance similar to the C-series models, but potentially hit a lower price point quickly, it could be yet another affordable, mini-LED gem in TCL’s catalogue.
