什么让一款display成为Mini LED显示器？这个问题听起来似乎应该有一个简单答案，但如今它已成为电视行业两大知名品牌之间诉讼的核心。TCL指控其长期竞争对手三星将经济型LCD-LED电视虚假宣传为Mini LED电视。
What makes a display a Mini LED display? It's a question that sounds like it should have a simple answer. But it's now at the center of a lawsuit between two of the biggest names in TVs, with TCL accusing its longtime competitor Samsung of falsely advertising budget LCD-LED TVs as Mini LED sets.
TCL的说法或许有一定道理。三星M系列电视的价格从43英寸型号的300美元到100英寸型号的2300美元不等，这确实引发了一些关于何种产品才有资格称为Mini LED的合理疑问。不过，更广泛地说，这场争议凸显了消费者面临的一个问题：如果业界没有就“Mini LED”究竟意味着什么达成一致标准，制造商就有很大的自由度自行定义这项技术。
TCL may have a point. Samsung's M-series TVs, which range from $300 for a 43-inch model to $2,300 for a 100-inch model, do raise some legitimate questions about what should qualify as Mini LED. More broadly, though, the dispute highlights a problem for shoppers: Without agreed-upon standards for what "Mini LED" actually means, manufacturers have plenty of room to define the technology for themselves.
