The TCL A400 Pro brings together a 65-inch 4K television with a design intended to look at home even when you are not watching it. Its light walnut woodgrain bezel and slim 39.9mm profile give the screen a frame-inspired appearance, while the matte panel helps reduce reflections in brighter rooms.
For everyday viewing, the QD-Mini LED display combines Mini LED backlighting with Quantum Dot colour. The result is controlled contrast, bright highlights and rich colour across films, sport, television and games. A 144Hz native refresh rate also helps keep fast-moving content smooth.
When you are not watching television, the built-in Art Display can show a selection of artwork, while the AI Art feature provides a large choice of pre-generated digital artwork. You can also display your own photos using compatible features and apps.
Google TV provides access to smart entertainment and streaming services, while the built-in ONKYO 2.0 Hi-Fi system provides the TV’s own audio without immediately requiring a separate sound system.
Picture Quality & Smart Features
The 4K Ultra HD display provides a resolution of 3840 x 2160 pixels, giving you four times the pixel count of Full HD. This is particularly useful on a 65-inch screen, where the additional detail can make films, sport and high-resolution content look more defined.
QD-Mini LED and Precise Dimming
QD-Mini LED combines Mini LED backlighting with Quantum Dot colour. On the 65-inch model, TCL’s Precise Dimming system uses 180 independently controlled zones to manage areas of the backlight. This helps produce deeper blacks and brighter highlights while reducing unwanted light around bright objects.
The Quantum Dot display also supports a wide colour range, with 93% DCI-P3 coverage. For films, television and artwork, this gives the screen a broad palette for reproducing detailed and colourful images.
Matte HVA Screen
The matte HVA panel has a nanocrystal anti-glare coating that softens reflections. This can be particularly useful in rooms with windows or other strong light sources, helping artwork, photos and television content remain easier to see.
An ambient light sensor automatically adjusts screen brightness according to the lighting conditions in the room, helping the picture adapt as the surroundings change.
AiPQ Processing and 144Hz Refresh Rate
TCL’s TSR AiPQ Processor analyses scenes and adjusts aspects such as contrast, colour, clarity and motion. This processing is intended to improve the appearance of different types of content without requiring you to make picture adjustments for every programme.
The native 144Hz refresh rate is useful when watching fast-moving content. Compatible gaming features include variable refresh rate support, helping the display respond more smoothly to changes in frame rate.
Google TV
Google TV brings television programmes, films, apps and other entertainment together through a smart TV interface. Google Assistant voice control is also supported through the TV’s remote control.
Connectivity includes Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Ethernet, HDMI and USB, giving you straightforward options for connecting your home entertainment equipment.
Features That Matter
Art Display and AI Art
The A400 Pro is designed to remain useful when the television is not being used for conventional viewing. Around 80 curated artworks can be displayed through the T-Exhibition app, with categories including classic paintings, impressionism, contemporary art, abstract geometry and decorative art.
The AI Art function provides access to more than 100,000 pre-generated artworks. These are created in advance rather than generated in real time, giving you a large selection of styles and themes to choose from.
Some artwork and app features require an internet connection and TCL account, and availability can vary by region and software version.
Frame-Inspired Design
The integrated one-piece bezel has a light walnut woodgrain finish, giving the screen a framed appearance without requiring a separate decorative frame. The woodgrain is a decorative finish rather than solid wood.
At just 39.9mm deep, the TV has a slim profile that suits wall mounting. An ultra-slim wall mount may be required for the closest possible fit.
Height-Adjustable Stand
If you prefer cabinet placement, the supplied stand has two height settings. This lets you adjust the viewing height and can provide additional space beneath the screen for a soundbar.
ONKYO 2.0 Hi-Fi System
The built-in ONKYO audio system uses side-firing speakers with a total output of 20W. Dolby Atmos and DTS:X support is available for compatible content, helping the TV handle a wider range of modern sound formats.
Bluetooth also allows compatible devices to connect wirelessly, while HDMI and optical connections provide options for integrating external audio equipment.
Bluetooth Music and Personal Photos
In Art Display mode, the television can also be used with Bluetooth music features, with compatible content displayed alongside artwork or other visuals.
The Moments feature allows compatible photos from your phone to be displayed on the television, helping turn the screen into a personal gallery.
Everyday Benefits
The A400 Pro is particularly suited to customers who want their television to contribute to the room rather than dominate it when switched off. The framed appearance and matte screen make it suitable for displaying artwork and photographs between viewing sessions.
For everyday entertainment, the 65-inch 4K display gives you plenty of screen area for films, sport and television, while QD-Mini LED backlighting and Quantum Dot colour provide the picture technology to make good use of the resolution.
The 144Hz refresh rate is another useful addition for customers who watch fast-moving sport or play compatible games. Meanwhile, Google TV brings smart entertainment into one interface, reducing the need to switch between separate streaming devices for everyday viewing.
