TCL TV buying guide

Buying a TV for gaming is different to buying a TV for general viewing. Kind of how purchasing a high-performance sports car is different from buying a family sedan. They’ll both get you where you want to go, but one has much more power under the hood. There are some important features to look for to keep you in pole position and TCL covers them all with their latest range of game-ready TVs. Packed with technology to help you level up, TCL TVs let you enjoy your favourite video games with incredible clarity and sound – so you can play to win every time.

There’s a lot to consider before buying a new TV – what size, what tech is best, do I need a soundbar too? – but you can’t go wrong with any of the big, bright and beautiful screens in TCL’s 2025 line-up. With tech that beams more than a billion true-to-life colours and world-leading brightness, plus audio by some of the world’s best sound technicians, TCL Australia has once again ticked all the boxes for brilliant home entertainment.“When customers ask us, ‘Is TCL a good brand?’ our answer is always ‘Absolutely!’ – especially if they’re looking for high-spec tech at a price that won’t blow the budget,” say John Milonas, The Good Guys Buyer – TVs.“With a dedicated team of nearly 100 experts and an international Quantum Dot Lab, TCL continues to push the boundaries of spectacular display technology.”Considering an upgrade to a new TCL TV and want to know which model ticks all of your boxes? We’ve done a deep dive on the complete 2025 range and asked John Milonas to help break down the tech jargon to help you find your dream screen. Here are the ones to watch!

TCL has stormed the Mini LED stage in 2024 with some of the best-value TVs on the market, complete with AI upgrades, mind-blowing brightness and supersized screens. So, if you’re looking to upgrade to an affordable big-screen TV to reinvigorate movie nights at home, amp up your sports viewing and make game time truly epic, a TCL smart TV could be the one for you.

Is TCL a good TV? According to Jason Tavoletti, The Good Guys Buyer – Televisions, the answer is a resounding yes. “TCL TVs are known for their size, affordability and superb Mini LED screen tech so with these TVs, don’t rule out the 98-inch model because you might find you can get bigger for your budget,” says Jason.

“While there’s plenty to love about the latest TCL C655 QLED TV with its vivid visuals, you’ll find the most value in TCL’s mid-range offering.

“From the 2024 range, TCL’s C755 and C855 in particular are going to be go-tos for anyone wanting premium TV technology without the premium price tag.”
