TCL has introduced the Thunderbird 100MAX 2024 TV, a large smart TV offering with a 540-zone backlight system and a no-ads feature straight out of the box. The 100-inch display of the TCL Thunderbird 100MAX 2024 makes it a standout in the market, adding to the range of oversized TVs recently launched.
Enhanced Features and Improved Audio
In terms of cost efficiency, the Thunderbird 100MAX model stands out even though it is pricier than the Xiaomi Redmi MAX 100 2025 version. However, it excels in its specifications when compared to the Redmi model. With a 4K resolution, 144Hz refresh rate, 540 backlight partitions, and 120 nits of brightness, this TV offers a dynamic contrast ratio of 12 million:1 and covers 95% of the DCI-P3 color gamut.
Audio and Connectivity
The TCL Thunderbird 100MAX 2024 boasts a 50W 7-unit 2.1 audio system, featuring four full-range units, two tweeters, and one bass unit, outperforming the Redmi model's audio setup. The TV also sets itself apart by not displaying ads by default, unlike the Redmi model which requires manual adjustment to disable ads.
