Anyone who’s planning to buy one of TCL’s new 2026 TV models in the U.K. this year can take advantage of a promotional five-year warranty, which adds a generous three years to the usual period and underscores the company’s strong confidence in its products.
The company said its standard two-year manufacturer’s warranty is being extended by an additional three years through its U.K. partner Opia, so long as you purchase an eligible TV from a participating retailer between now and June 30, 2027.
The extended warranty is not automatically bestowed on new buyers, for they also have to register their purchase on TCL’s redemption website within 30 days of the date shown on their receipt.
TCL explained that everyone will continue to get the standard two-year warranty without doing anything apart from buying one of its TVs. Should the TV develop a problem during this initial period, they’ll be able to contact the retailer directly and follow the usual steps to get it repaired.
The promotional three-year warranty only begins once that initial period expires. At this point, users have to use TCL’s Track My Registration page to request a repair from the company. If the TV cannot be fixed, TCL will replace it with a new version of the same TV.
There are some limits on TCL’s promotion. For instance, it only allows one registration per person, and only four per household or 10 per business. So if you want to buy two TCL TVs, such as one for the living room and one for the bedroom, you’re out of luck – unless you put it in the wife’s name. The receipt must also clearly show what TV was purchased, where it was bought, the date it was purchased and the price that was paid. Obviously, you’ll also need to keep it for the full five years.
There’s a long list of eligible models, including the 75-inch and 85-inch versions of its flagship TCL X11L television, which is an SQD-miniLED model that features “Super Quantum Dots.” TCL believes that its SQD technology is superior to the RGB LED backlight tech that’s being used in many of its rival’s flagship LCD TVs. Whereas RGB LED relies on separate red, green and blue LEDs as a light source, SQD uses a single-chip pure-white light source that’s passed through a five-nanometre Super Quantum Dot filter. According to the company, this allows it to cover 100% of the BT.2020 colour gamut, producing better colour depth and higher brightness than RGB LED.
TCL’s C8L and C7L SQD-miniLED models are also covered by the extended warranty, and so are its first RGB LED TVs – the TCL RML9 and RML7.
