About this deal

The TCL C735 sits just below the top-of-the-range mini LED models in the 2022 range, offering a value proposition with a global dimming direct LED backlight, a VA panel, QLED colour enhancement and a full range of HDR and picture features. Furthermore, the TV supports HDMI-CEC, enabling control of other connected devices using a single remote. The wide viewing angles ensure that everyone can have a comfortable and immersive viewing experience, no matter where they are seated. This LED light excites a layer of quantum dots to deliver RGB color with a claimed full 100% of the DCI-P3 space, greater even than the latest QD-OLED panels, and easy to believe when you see what this TV does with vibrant grass greens and deep ocean blues.

The TV supports various HDR formats, such as HDR10 and Dolby Vision, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of HDR content. Dolby Vision IQ is the latest feature added to the company's dynamic metadata HDR format that now works in conjunction with a sensor in the TV, adjusting the tone mapping for the ambient light in the room. This monitor comes with various pre-set color modes, including sRGB and HDR, allowing users to choose the optimal display settings for their needs.The Smart TV lineup and playback from the VOD apps are also good with a fast response and no loading issues, crashing or slowing down witnessed in our time using the TV. The rear part does not change the good design achieved because it does not have a bulky space and maintains a slim appearance that blends quite well with any decoration. One Connect Box is a feature that allows users to connect all of their external devices, such as gaming consoles and streaming devices, to a single box that connects to the TV. For high-quality music, or for movie sound with real impact, you need to move up to a true stereo or surround system; the TCL accepts Dolby Atmos and DTS soundtracks and can pass them to an external audio system via HDMI eARC.

Wide Colour Gamut (WCG) performance is also very good for this level of TV with most of the saturation tracking points covered with just a slight undersaturation of red and hue of green being off target on the graph and, although the colour gamut is not fully encompassed, the performance is good and the end results look very good with HDR content.TCL has also added its own ‘channel’, which is actually dozens of live channels plus hundreds of on-demand shows, notably strong on documentary. The TCL 55C635K has a wide viewing angle, which allows viewers to enjoy the picture from almost any position in the room. The most interesting thing is that it has a Mini LED backlight being the most powerful panel currently because it works with more LED bulbs achieving 1,000 zones for powerful local dimming. We had very few problems achieving a spectacular picture quality from the TCL C835, whether streaming 4K HDR from its own Google apps or playing via HDMI from an AppleTV 4K or UHD Blu-ray player.

Calibration tools, such as color bars and test patterns, can help achieve optimal image quality based on your viewing environment.Together with TCL’s IJP OLED and other developments, the next few years will see a screen technology shake-out. The sound quality of mid-range models can sometimes be disappointing, but this is not the case with the QNED866 series. However, MicroLED displays are still relatively new and expensive and have yet to be widely available.

Press the Google Voice key on the remote, hold and speak, and you can make useful requests like ‘Switch to HDMI 1’ or ‘Mute’, ‘Unmute’ and so on. The TCL TV doesn’t itself react to a ‘Hey Google’ command, but uses the remote control as a microphone extension. But at this market level, there are very few competitors that do better when it comes to HDR playback.Ask Alexa to play music, hear the news, check weather, adjust TV volume, change TV channel, control your smart home, and more. The best results reminded us of the test reels that TV manufacturers used to show us back when 4K TVs first arrived: "one day all TVs will look this good", they said, and now it’s true, with Disney Plus nature documentaries or magnificent drone sequences from the Apple TV Plus surf series Make or Break delivered on the TCL as breathtakingly sharp and vivid video.
