TCL’s Father’s Day Entertainment Lineup

With Father’s Day in Australia landing on Sunday, September 6, there’s still time to sort out a proper upgrade for Dad’s living room before the big day. TCL has put together a range of home theatre products designed to enhance everything from footy matches to movie nights and gaming sessions, combining high-brightness display technology, Bang & Olufsen-tuned audio, and built-in Google Gemini AI — with options at a range of price points, so there’s something for every budget.
If the bigger-ticket items feel like a stretch, it’s worth remembering there’s still a few weeks to plan ahead. Setting aside a little each week between now and September, or selling off unused items lying around the house — old electronics, furniture, or gear that’s just gathering dust — can go a long way toward funding a proper upgrade for the big day.

Budget-Friendly Picks for Game Day

Not every dad needs a top-of-the-range setup to enjoy the footy. For those watching on a budget, the C7L SQD-Mini LED TV and the A65K soundbar offer strong value without the flagship price tag — both bring premium-feeling picture and sound to game day without breaking the bank.

TCL X11L SQD-Mini LED TV — RRP $7,999–$14,999

Sitting at the top of TCL’s lineup, the X11L is built for a true cinema-style experience at home. It reaches an impressive 10,000 nits of peak HDR brightness, thanks to SQD-Mini LED technology that uses thousands of independently controlled dimming zones alongside colour filters roughly one-fifth the width of a human hair. The result is punchy colour reproduction and deep blacks with minimal light bleed, aided by a new light-emitting chip design and highly compact micro-lenses that keep contrast sharp and blooming to a minimum.
The TV also comes with Google Gemini integrated directly into the interface, so users can ask for personalised movie suggestions, check live sports scores, or manage connected smart home devices straight from the screen. Sound is handled by a custom Bang & Olufsen audio setup, adding rich, room-filling audio to match the picture quality. The X11L is available in 75″, 85″, and 98″ screen sizes.

TCL C7L SQD-Mini LED TV — RRP $1,795–$7,999 (Affordable Pick)

The C7L is positioned as a more budget-friendly option without giving up much on picture quality — a great shout for watching the footy without going all-out on the flagship model. It still uses SQD-Mini LED technology, hitting up to 3,000 nits of peak brightness for strong HDR performance, and offers a wide range of screen sizes to suit different rooms and budgets.
Under the hood, it’s built on an HVA 2.0 Pro Panel with as many as 2,176 individual dimming zones, allowing it to manage bright daytime rooms as easily as darker, late-night viewing. Like its flagship sibling, the C7L pairs Bang & Olufsen sound with Google Gemini smart features, bringing premium audio and AI-driven convenience to a more accessible price point. The C7L is available in 55″, 65″, 75″, 85″, and 98″ sizes.

TCL A65K 3.1.2-Channel Soundbar (Bang & Olufsen) — RRP $599 (Affordable Pick)

For dads who want to boost their audio setup without overhauling the whole room, the A65K soundbar offers a compact, design-forward option at a very approachable price point — ideal for cranking up the commentary on game day. Tuned by Bang & Olufsen, it houses nine drivers across a 3.1.2-channel layout, aiming to deliver full home-theatre sound from a slim, low-profile unit that fits into most modern living rooms.
Its three-way acoustic design separates treble, mid-range, and bass processing across dedicated drivers for cleaner separation and detail, whether it’s being used for the footy, films, gaming, or music. Support for both Dolby Atmos and DTS:X rounds out the package, making it a solid all-round upgrade for anyone looking to unwind at the end of the day.

TCL 32G64 QHD QD-Mini LED Monitor — RRP $799

Rounding out the lineup is a monitor aimed at dads who split their time between work and gaming. The 32G64 offers a 2560 x 1440 QHD resolution with a 180Hz refresh rate, producing smooth, fluid motion for fast-paced content. Its QD-Mini LED panel blends QLED and OLED-style technologies, using precise backlighting control to deliver deep blacks and bright highlights, with peak brightness rated at 600 nits.
Design-wise, it features a fully adjustable, ergonomic stand and a minimalist look that suits both office and gaming setups. Connectivity is also well covered, with dual HDMI 2.1 ports and a DisplayPort 1.4A connection, reducing the need to constantly swap cables between devices. The 32G64 is available in a single 32″ size.
