TCL sues Samsung for falsely marketing non-FALD TVs as Mini LED

TCL alleges Samsung's 'Mini LED' TVs lack FALD technology, which is essential for true Mini LED performance, and instead rebranded regular LED models to mislead consumers.

Legal claim

Alleges Samsung's M Models are 'sham products' that misrepresent technology

Mini LED definition

TCL defines it as FALD (Full-Array Local Dimming) with independent Mini LED control

Samsung's own definition

Samsung's website describes Mini LED as requiring local dimming zones (FALD)

Market impact

Samsung's lower-priced M Models took market share from TCL's FALD TVs
