TCL C835 Review: Maybe the best TV purchase in 2022 - Tech Week

The RC630K doesn’t seem to include TCL Home alongside your Google Home and Alexa stalwarts, and while Apple AirPlay 2 support joins Chromecast, the Ambient mode doesn’t include Google Photos that you’ll find in almost all the other models. There's a bezel less design with a matching central stand allowing the TV to fit on any surface at home. This TV is 144hz VRR native: the highest standard in the TV industry and perfect for e-sport games and FPS. The only thing that really impacted it substantially was activating the set’s Clear Motion processing.Finally, the audio performance from the Onkyo soundbar is also very good with a decent sound stage and intelligible dialogue. Under the hood, the C835 still uses a quad-core ARM Cortex-A73 with 3GB RAM and Mali-G52 MP GPU that are sufficiently powerful for a smooth user experience.

Review: TCL 65C835 (C835-serie) LCD LED TV

There’s a fair bit of unwanted processing ‘mess’ to accompany the reduced judder and blur, but the blurring without the processing in play is also pretty heavy by today’s standards. There’s no true local dimming in the edge LED lighting system, despite the set carrying a Micro Dimming feature. Equally Bezel Less and also slightly slimmer than the norm at 30mm, the C835 is another impressive contender that gives you some serious value-for-money considerations. Availability and performance of certain features and services are service, device, and network-dependent and may not be available in all areas. Hundreds, perhaps thousands of people, filled the stand, and pretty much every face could be seen individually.How much this helps or interferes is hard to judge, of course, but old Star Trek episodes came up almost as shiny as their remastered versions. 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 three-leg stand is a unique design with the centre pointing to the rear for support and the left and right legs towards the front and sides.While not all the points were where they should be, they were there or thereabouts for the majority, and this was seen within HDR content with nicely saturated colours.
