Johannesburg, South Africa, 25 June 2025 – The television industry is in a perpetual state of evolution, driven by relentless technological advancements that continually redefine the viewing experience. TCL Electronics, a leading consumer electronics brand and the Global No.1 Mini LED TV brand, is at the forefront of this innovation and consistently pushes boundaries to deliver cutting-edge visual technologies to consumers worldwide.
A prime example of TCL’s commitment to leading this technological charge is the introduction of its revolutionary All-Domain Halo Control technology to South Africa – a first for the local market. This game-changing innovation reflects TCL’s ongoing mission to deliver superior viewing experiences tailored to how real people watch TV—at home, in real living rooms, with real lighting challenges.
What Is All-Domain Halo Control?
TCL’s All-Domain Halo Control represents a paradigm shift in backlighting technology, particularly for Mini LED displays. This full-stack, proprietary innovation meticulously manages every aspect of light generation and distribution within the television, from the individual Mini LED chips to the final image presented on screen. The result is a dramatically enhanced picture quality that addresses and virtually eliminates common issues like “haloing” or “blooming” – the visible light bleed around bright objects on a dark background.
This proprietary technology is built into TCL’s 2025 QD-Mini LED TVs and includes:
- Ultra-efficient LED chips that boost brightness while saving energy.
- Micro-OD (Optical Distance) backlight structure, which places the LEDs closer to the screen for enhanced light control and reduced leakage.
- Precision-engineered micro-lenses that direct light with pinpoint accuracy.
- Advanced AI-driven light control algorithms for real-time adaptation.
- Premium HVA (High Vertical Alignment) panels for deeper blacks, wide viewing angles, and up to 5× better native contrast than standard LCDs.
The result? Picture quality that stays crisp, clear, and richly detailed—no matter the scene or lighting in your room.
Why It Matters for South African Viewers
With bright daytime living spaces and shared family viewing environments being the norm across South Africa, All-Domain Halo Control offers a major upgrade in visual performance:
- Reduced Haloing & Blooming: Say goodbye to distracting light halos around bright scenes. This is especially important when watching high-contrast content like sports, action movies, or dark dramas.
- Deeper Blacks, Brighter Highlights: Enhanced local dimming and contrast performance mean cinematic blacks and vibrant colour that pop.
- Wider Viewing Angles: Everyone on the couch gets the same stunning visuals – no colour washout and no loss of contrast from the side.
- Brilliant in Any Lighting: Whether you’re watching during the day or at night, TCL’s adaptive lighting keeps visuals sharp and glare-free.
- Perfect for Sports and Gaming: With up to 144Hz refresh rates and smooth motion control, it’s ideal for fast-paced content.
“At TCL, we are passionate about driving innovation that transforms everyday experiences, and we’re proud to be at the forefront of introducing advanced display technologies like All-Domain Halo Control to South African consumers,” says Mike Chen, General Manager of TCL South Africa. “This technology represents a significant leap forward in TV performance – especially for bright and dynamic home environments like we have here. Our QD-Mini LED TVs offer unmatched contrast, clarity, and control, giving families a truly cinematic experience at home.”
This innovation is part of TCL’s broader portfolio of advanced TV technologies, which also includes industry-leading QD-Mini LED tech, Dolby Vision & Atmos support, and Google TV integration for a seamless, smart viewing experience. All-Domain Halo Control is now available to South African consumers on TCL’s C6K model which is available at leading retailers across South Africa now.
