About this deal

There are a couple of niggles. Vocals sometimes sound a little detached from the action, thanks to a combination of occasional slight lip-sync lag when watching Dolby Atmos sources, and the way relatively deep vocal tones can seem to be coming from below the image. I should stress that these colour issues only crop up with bright HDR10 scenes/image areas. Dark HDR10 shots and scenes look pretty normal where colours are concerned – although, ultimately, this just makes the excesses with bright scenes all the more glaring. Budget to mid-range TVs tend to focus on functionality over looks, but the TCL C715 sports an elegant and tidy design. The slim metal bezel offers minimal distractions, and the feet – which can be configured in narrow (which I chose) and wide positions – offer flexibility (you don’t get this with the 50-inch model, however). Nor does it take long for the set to be assembled: slot in the feet, tighten the two screws for each foot, and you’re done. The soundbar manages to radiate sound up as well as forward, creating at least a vague sense of height with Dolby Atmos mixes – although there aren’t really any specific overhead effects to speak of. The rear does suddenly become chunkier a few inches in from those super-svelte edges, but even then the set wears this extra area of bulk quite nicely. The chunkier area doesn’t just house the screen’s processors and connections; it also provides space for TCL to build in a strikingly large rear-facing bass driver – again adorned by the Onkyo logo.

The 55C735K continues to go far beyond its price point by supporting all four of the main high dynamic range formats of HDR, HLG, HDR10+ and Dolby Vision. So unlike, say, all of LG’s TVs, which don’t support HDR10+, and all of Samsung TVs, which don’t support Dolby Vision, the TCL 55C735K will play the best version available of whatever source you feed it. Android also means built-in Chromecast and Google Assistant. TCL’s own menu is accessible via the grey styled buttons on the remote, but there isn’t as much scope for configuring settings as you’ll see on other brands. Features such as the T-Link (HDMI CEC) aren’t on by default, and others – such as Game and Sports modes – override picture settings on all the HDMI inputs. You lose access to other picture presets until they’re toggled off. The TCL C93K Mini LED also comes IMAX Enhanced to help maximise the home cinema experience in your living room. The TCL 55C735K’s theme of punching well above its price weight continues with its picture performance. Once you’ve tweaked away one or two preset gremlins, anyway.

Conclusion

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.

At this price, sound quality is often flat and uninspiring – but TCL’s down-firing full-range speakers sound pretty good. The 65C815K’s pictures are… complicated. A unique mix of unexpected strengths and more predictable weaknesses. UHD QLED display produces 4x the resolution of Full HD, delivering stunning image clarity and vibrant colours The built-in Onkyo-designed speaker system is good enough to mean you can manage without adding a costly external audio solution.

Performance

With the ONKYO speakers, viewers can enjoy immersive Dolby Atmos sound quality on the TV or pass it to a TCL Sound Bar. There's a bezel less design with a matching central stand allowing the TV to fit on any surface at home. Release Date The 55C735K’s connections extend to four HDMIs in total, a single USB 2.0 port, an Ethernet port, a 3.5mm headphone port, an optical digital audio output, and wi-fi. The problem is that the set’s edge-based lighting system just can’t control its light locally enough, with the result that whenever you’re watching a dark scene, especially an HDR dark scene, some supposedly dark areas look lighter than others, even though they shouldn’t. Some of these ‘cloudy’ areas are both central to the picture, and quite large. So there’s no ignoring them. Adding to its soundbar range, TCL announced the second-generation of its Ray-Danz technology, in the C935U soundbar. Taking on ‘flagship’ status, this 5.1.2 Dolby Atmos soundbar comes with a wireless subwoofer and uses angled speakers and curved acoustic reflector units to create a wider soundstage. TCL bills it as the “perfect companion” to its new QLED TV models.
