TCL has sued Samsung in US court over its miniLED TVs, alleging that the Korean company has falsely advertised the lineup as not actually using miniLED technology.
TCL claims that Samsung “took a cheap, non-Mini LED model from a recycled product line and peddled it to the public as a ‘supreme’ Mini LED model at an attractive price point,” according to Reuters. The company commented that these miniLED models “contain none of the technological advancements associated with Mini LED technology.”
Specifically, TCL is claiming that Samsung repackaged its entry-level Crystal UHD products as miniLED, which has allegedly hurt TCL’s market share, according to The Elec.
Samsung released a statement in response to the lawsuit that it will defend itself and stands “fully behind the quality and accuracy of our product descriptions.”
TCL is seeking compensation for damages as well as a sales ban on the Samsung models in question,
