- TCL adds three more models to its 2026 lineup
- This includes the TCL P8L, another QD mini-LED model
- Two more QLEDs have been introduced, including a Fire TV model
TCL has announced the addition of three new models to its 2026 TV lineup, including another mini-LED.
The three new models include the TCL P8L, a new mini-LED QD 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 like most other TCL models do.
TCL has also released pricing for each of these TVs which you can find below, along with the full specifications announced.

These three models join previously announced 2026 TVs, which include the flagship X11L Super Quantum Dot (SQD) mini-LED TV, the RM9L and RM8L RGB mini-LED TVs as well as the C8L and C7L. The C8 and C7 will also feature mini-SQD LED for the first time, an improved panel over their predecessors, the TCL C8K and C7K, two of the best TVs of 2025.
TCL also confirmed that the TCL C6K, arguably one of the most budget-friendly mini-LED TVs I tested last year, will be delayed until 2026.
TCL P8L
The TCL P8L will be available in 55, 65, 75 and 85 inch sizes. The prices for each of these models are as follows:
- 55 inches – £649.00
- 65 inches – £849.00
- 75 inches – £1,049.00
- 85 inches – £1,399.00
The TCL P8L is another QD mini-LED TV, similar to the C series that we’ve enjoyed over the past couple of years. It will feature an HVA panel in addition to the 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 onboard and support Dolby Vision and HDR10+ HDR formats. A Filmmaker mode will also be included, which was introduced last year.
It will also have gaming functionality with the best gaming TVs, including 4K 144Hz (with a 288Hz throttle mode), FreeSync Premium, ALLM, and an enhanced TCL Game Bar.
The P8L will use Google TV as its smart TV platform and will support Google Assistant, Google Cast, Miracast and Airplay 2.
TCL P7L
The TCL P7L is a QLED TV and will be available in 43, 50, 55, 65, 75 and 85 inch sizes. The prices for these models are as follows:
- 43 inches – £399.00
- 50 inch – £449.00
- 55 inch – £499.00
- 65 inch – £699.00
- 75 inch – £899.00
- 85 inches – £1,299.00
The P7L is equipped with a QLED panel that TCL claims will offer 93% coverage of the HDR DCI-P3 color space (a decent result for a mid-range QLED if this turns out to be 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 Dolby Vision and HDR10+ HDR formats.
While gaming features haven’t been fully confirmed, there’s only one HDMI 2.1 eARC port listed, so it’s likely this TV will be limited to 4K 60Hz for gaming.
For audio, the 43-75 inch models of the P7L will use a 2.0 Onkyo speaker system. The 85-incher 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 43, 50, 55, 65 and 75 inch sizes. The prices for this model are as follows:
- 43 inches – £379.00
- 50 inch – £399.00
- 55 inches – £449.00
- 65 inches – £599.00
- 75 inch – £699.00
The TCL V6D is the most entry-level model in this range, but it will still come with a QLED panel. Although there is 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 stated, we would again assume it will land at 4K 60Hz. There is 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 voice remote control and support Alexa.
Even more cost-effective 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 predecessor to the new P8L) was a QLED TV, but this year the P8L goes mini-LED. It’s encouraging to see mini-LEDs being introduced further down the line.
Interestingly, although the P8L shares many specifications with the “step-up” C7K and C8K, its launch prices are no different from those of the entry-level TCL C6K. The 65-inch P8L is expected to launch at £849, while the 65-inch C6K will launch at £799.
It’s unlikely that the price of the P8L will stay this high for long, as we’ve often seen a massive drop in price several weeks after the launch of TCL’s mini-LEDs in previous years.
If the P8L can deliver similar picture quality and performance to the C-series models, but potentially quickly reach a lower price point, it could be another affordable mini-LED gem in TCL’s catalog.
