TCL unveils new 4K C-Series Mini LED and QLED TVs

The TCL C735 is a good all-round workhorse TV designed to be used in normal lighting conditions and offers a good selection of connectivity, gaming features, HDR compatibility and smart TV. Used in this manner it comes recommended and has been scored with the market position and cost in mind vs. performance. Subtitle and audio description information spoken on the electronic programme guide more info panel In fact, the 55C735K even supports the Dolby Vision IQ system, where the advanced Dolby Vision picture settings can automatically adjust themselves to compensate for the amount of ambient light in your room so that you still get the right level of HDR impact.

Conclusion

Chromecast, Google Assistant and popular SVOD apps are here, plus there’s Freeview Play/UK catch-up apps. You shouldn’t buy the TCL 55C715K if… The intense colours are at their best with Dolby Vision and HDR10+ sources. The extra scene-by-scene picture information these two formats provide appears to help the set rein in its most aggressive colour instincts to deliver punchy but also mostly believable and balanced tones. So much so that pictures actually look much more dynamic and bold than the good (for this price level) peak measured brightness of around 540 nits would lead you to expect. UHD QLED display produces 4x the resolution of Full HD, delivering stunning image clarity and vibrant colours Calling in Onkyo to help out the 65C815K’s sound quality results in an impressive audio performance for such an affordable TV. Dolby Vision improves on this with its Bright mode (the Dark version is quite dim). On Skyfall (4K Dolby Vision), colours are expressive, detail levels are great, and the TV digs up the fine detail in close ups of Craig’s hair and scars.

What Hi-Fi? TCL 55C735K review - What Hi-Fi?

Because of these gremlins, first impressions are mixed, with some strong contrast and vibrancy potential being undermined by some crushing of details in dark areas and overwrought colours. The TV’s first mistake is only providing three main picture presets: Vivid, Low Power and Movie. This really doesn’t leave viewers with enough easy options to get to a well-balanced picture they like, with each preset exhibiting enough issues to make TCL’s decision not to include some kind of Standard preset that sits somewhere between the Vivid and Movie settings seem pretty bizarre. We are reviewing the 55-inch version of the TCL C735 and given other screen sizes use similar panels, performance should be reasonably similar, but we cannot guarantee that will be the case given the usual differences in LCD panel to panel. The TCL 673K Series is an excellent choice for anyone looking for a high-quality viewing experience. Its 65-inch 4K QLED display provides stunning colour accuracy and contrast, while its HDR support ensures a vibrant and lifelike picture. The TV also offers easy access to streaming services, voice control, and Bluetooth connectivity. While TV designs typically seem keen to crow about keeping speakers hidden away as if they’re some sort of dirty secret, personally I have no problem with the TCL’s public display of sound-quality affection.
