Already presented in our columns, the TCL P89L series returns in the sixth week for a major correction in terms of specifications. Introduced at the end of July with a Full [abc]LED[/abc] [abc]Local Dimming[/abc] backlighting system, all P89L screens are in fact Mini LED, like the 98" already mentioned as such originally. The P89L series therefore adds to the manufacturer’s Mini LED range with the TCL C6K Pro, TCL C7L, TCL C8L, TCL RM9L and TCL X11L 2026 Mini LED TV series already presented. And to be complete on TCL’s 2026 TV lineup, it is also necessary to mention the entry-level TCL P6L Ultra HD 4K series and the TCL P79L QLED series.

For the rest of the technical features, nothing changes. Starting with the design, still premium, notably thanks to an elegant and slim metal bar present at the bottom and an extremely discreet frame around the LCD panel to let the image take center stage. And for the stand, it is a dual design on all diagonals. The TCL P89L series includes five [abc]Ultra HD[/abc] [abc]4K[/abc] references: the TCL 55P89L (55'', 140 cm), TCL 65P89L (65'', 165 cm), TCL 75P89L (75'', 191 cm), TCL 85P89L (85'', 216 cm) and TCL 98P89L (98'', 249 cm).
