The class action lawsuit alleged, on behalf of consumers, that TCL advertised certain TV's as "120Hz CMI", "120Hz Clear Motion Index", and/or "120Hz CMI Effective Refresh Rate" when they had 60Hz native refresh rates.TCL is headquartered in Corona, California and sells televisions throughout the United States through numerous retailers such as Amazon, Best Buy, Target, and Walmart. It's one of the leading sellers of TVs in the United States and is now the fastest growing TV brand in North America.
