Unfortunate timing with this review? Didn't TCL just officially announce the 6-Series would be getting mini-LED tech?
As far as I can tell, the main difference now will be the software. They won't cannibalize potential sales for the 8-Series, so the 6-Series will still be limited to (at most) 240 CCZs, but the underlying tech appears to be the same.
It makes sense, from a manufacturing efficiency standpoint, to use the same backlights in both Series. But I can't help feeling that this is a blunder. Intentionally crippling a product's capabilities usually leads to angry customers...
