TCL has filed a lawsuit against Samsung, alleging that Samsung's M-series TVs are falsely advertised as Mini LED when they are actually standard LED TVs. The lawsuit claims that Samsung's TVs lack the necessary hardware for true full array local dimming (FALD), a key feature of Mini LED technology. This mislabeling could mislead consumers and impact the credibility of the Mini LED market. Samsung's M-series TVs range from $300 for a 43-inch model to $2,300 for a 100-inch model, with TCL's QM-series TVs as direct competitors. The case underscores the importance of clear industry standards for technology labeling.
