No, it's a retweet of a rumor article that they are using to boost the perceived quality of their televisions.
Bro they're a television manufacturer, they probably don't even make their own Mini-LED screens. They're not even the guys rumored in the actual article.

On the one hand, this tweet is suspicious because they seem to talk about it as a certainty and on the other hand they're also in the business of promoting their own mini led tv's. Where there's smoke, there's fire though. We are hearing more and more rumblings of a new Switch and I think we will hear even more early 2021 when all the devs have dev kits.
Ewwww, TCL. I would certainly hope after the amount of problems I ran into with the TCL 6 Series last year, that they wouldn't be making these screens for Nintendo. That would actually be a serious cause for concern for me, lol.
No, that's Micro LED, which won't really be available and accessible for the majority of consumers for many years yet. Mini LED, is just another evolution of LCD. As I understand it, they deliver better contrast than traditional FALD TV's, but still suffer from many of the faults of LCD's, such as DSE, (more minimal) blooming, etc. It's just less severe, but they still aren't quite OLED level. It is true they won't burn in, tho.
No this is par for the course when it comes to tech company social media. They want to comment on articles that are vaguely related to their product and their field for that minimal engagement. They didn't in this case, but I wouldn't have been surprised if these were pushed out on facebook and linkedin simultaneously.
Like the fact that it's still up after 16 hours tells you nothing is amiss.
TCL is one of the best budget 4K brands out on the market right now so this is strange to see. Did you try replacing the TV with the warranty?
They actually do it their tvs are cheap because of vertical integration
First TV had numerous dead pixels, tried replacing it under return period, second TV had a horrible backlight defect that made it like there were spotlights shining from the corners (it wasn't blooming, the first set didn't have this). Third TV had a similar defect, as well as far, far worse DSE (dirty screen defect) than the first two. After going through three TV's, I decided it wasn't worth it trying to push my luck any further, and got my money refunded. Also, this isn't really out of the ordinary for TCL. They are known for having a major "panel lottery" with their TV's, and poor QA.
Too reasonable. Let's just overhype! Choo-choo...
I'll see myself out.
Sorry to hear that. I've had my TCL for almost 3 years now and it's been great.
I'll believe it when I see it. So many seemingly credible Nintendo rumors end up just becoming a projection of what hardcore fans would want.
And if I see it I'll probably buy it Day 1.
So that's how you do social media advertising based on rumours...
I think people on Era should be more critical before providing clicks to this form of marketing.

Social media person's pretty smart for tweeting about this rumor. Definitely got y'all to talk about their screens.
