TCL's 2025 QD-Mini LED flagship mixes HDMI tiers, so port choice matters for gamers. HDMI 1 and 2 are HDMI 2.1 and reach 4K at 144Hz (with a 288Hz mode at 1080p on 65-inch and larger sets), while HDMI 3 and 4 are HDMI 2.0b and cap out at 4K 60Hz. HDMI 4 is the eARC output, letting you feed a soundbar while keeping the two high-bandwidth ports free for consoles and PCs. It also has a USB 3.0 and a USB 2.0 port, optical out, Ethernet and a built-in ATSC 3.0 tuner.
