New Models Offer Award-Winning Performance, Content, and Value

CORONA, Calif. March 26, 2015 - TCL, one of the fastest growing TV brands in the U.S., unveiled its Roku TV line-up for the first half of 2015. In partnership with Roku Inc., TCL will bring to market 11 TCL Roku TV models across three new series: 3700 Entry-Level Series, 3800 Design Series and the top-of-the-line 3850 Decorator Series. Roku TV continues to further its position as a leading Smart TV experience with more streaming channels, easier navigation, and a comprehensive and unbiased search. 

Launched to industry acclaim in August 2014, TCL Roku TV received several industry awards including the "Best TV of 2014" and "Editor's Choice" from PC Magazine for the 4610 series. The 3700 series will be a refresh of that award-winning model and will be available in retail later this month. The 3800 and 3850 Series will launch later in the second quarter, with more details to be announced shortly. 

"Partnering with Roku led to a huge success for TCL in 2014, and we're excited to offer 11 new models that give consumers a range of sizes, designs, and prices to choose from," said Chris Larson, Vice President of Sales & Marketing, TCL North America. "In an industry where a lot of Smart TV platforms are abandoned, Roku's ongoing commitment to consistently update its streaming platform with new features and streaming channels means the best smart TV of 2014 is even better in 2015 - exactly the experience we want for our customers." 

TCL Roku TV features a personalized home screen with access to all entertainment sources, making it easy to navigate between gaming consoles, cable or satellite box, and more than 2,000 streaming channels. Roku continues to enhance its industry-leading streaming platform by constantly adding new channels and features for its customers. As an example, all TCL Roku TVs now include the Sling TV and WatchESPN streaming services.
