TCL sues Samsung for false advertising over ‘Mini LED’ televisions

Chinese consumer electronics company TCL has sued ​South Korea’s Samsung in Los Angeles ​federal court, accusing its rival of falsely advertising ​some televisions as using “Mini LED” technology.

The lawsuit, filed on Monday, alleges Samsung falsely marketed its M Model televisions as featuring the technology, which is designed ‌to improve ⁠picture ⁠quality.

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,” TCL said.
