- TCL is adding 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 it’s 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 style 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 the 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 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 over to 2026.
TCL P8L
The TCL P8L will be available in 55, 65, 75 and 85″ sizes. The 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 few years. It will have an HVA panel to step-up 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 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 put 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. The 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 is 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 supports both Dolby Vision and HDR10+ HDR formats.
While gaming capabilities haven’t been fully confirmed, there’s only one HDMI 2.1 eARC port listed, so it’s likely that 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 43, 50, 55, 65 and 75 inch sizes. The 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 in this series, but it still comes with a QLED panel. Although there is no Dolby Vision support, it supports both HDR10+ and HDR10. There’s also support for VRR and ALLM, and while no refresh rate is given, we’ll again assume it lands at 4K 60Hz. There is also support for Dolby Atmos.
The big difference between the V6D and the rest of the series is that it will use Fire TV as its smart TV platform. It comes with 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 gets mini-LED. It is encouraging to see mini-LED being introduced further down the range.
Interestingly, while the P8L shares many specifications with the ‘step-up’ C7K and C8K, its launch prices are not dissimilar to those of the entry-level TCL C6K. The 65-inch P8L is set to launch at £849, while the C6K 65-inch launched at £799.
It’s unlikely that the P8L’s price will actually stay that high for long, as we’ve often seen a massive price drop several weeks after launch with TCL’s mini-LEDs in previous years.
If the P8L can deliver the image quality and performance similar to the C-series models, but potentially quickly hit a lower price point, it could be another affordable mini-LED gem in TCL’s catalog.
