Earlier this week, TCL took to Milan Design Week to unveil theirnew range of TVs and soundbars. I was lucky enough to be there, gettinghands on with the new TV rangein person.
Alongside the new releases, they also had a whole range of concept products on show. These, while not available to purchase, showed off the work of TCL’s Design Innovation Centre, and gave us a glimpse into what the future of home entertainment might look like.
I’m a big fan of all three products that were on display. Each took a different approach, but was well-designed for the purpose it was intended for. Let’s take a closer look at them.

More interesting than the TV itself, though, was the accompanying soundbar. Set beneath the TV and finished in a matching – and changeable – wooden frame, the bar itself features two detachable speakers.

I could see that being a big hit with sports fans. Imagine you’re in the middle of a big game and need to run and grab snacks from the kitchen. No problem here – simply detach a speaker and keep an ear out for anything you don’t want to miss.

Next up, we have TCL Dune. This is a 32-inch touchscreen display, mounted to an ergonomic, freely moveable pillar. The idea is that you can manoeuvre the device around your home, free from cabling, and place it wherever is convenient at the time.
While I can see the appeal of this in the home to an extent, I actually think this would thrive more in a commercial setting. It’s effectively a massivetabletattached to a moveable stand, which could be really useful when giving presentations. I can see it at home on stands at trade shows, or in group activity scenarios.

Without doubt, my favourite concept piece on show was the TCL Telly Table. Doing pretty much exactly what it says on the tin, the Telly Table packs a 42-inch touchscreen display into the top of a coffee table.
The table-top can also be lifted to a vertical position. Orientated in this way, the screen becomes a TV, capable of streaming all of your favourite shows. It’s not the biggest panel in the world, but I can see it being useful.
If you have a spare room, or maybe even a kids bedroom, where you might want to use a TV sometimes, but could also benefit from an interactive surface and table space, this is a great option. It’s also a perfect addition for holiday homes, or smaller properties where space is at a premium.
It’s also capable of showing ambient video, too. We saw it in use as a faux-fireplace, which was a nice addition, and definitely adds a wider scope of use to the product.
