About this deal

We use Portrait Displays' Calman colour calibration software, a Murideo Seven Generator and Klein K-10A meter for measurement and calibration. In Europe, the TCL brand has taken longer to find its feet – not least because we haven’t been lucky enough to get the same TCL product line that’s been such a commercial and critical hit in the States. Used in this manner it comes recommended and has been scored with the market position and cost in mind vs.

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

The screen rests on a robust, centrally mounted ‘plate’ style stand that attaches to the TV’s rear via a couple of angular, nicely sculpted necks. Black levels can be overemphasised, plus there are some bright splotches in the corners that become noticeable in darker viewing environments. TCL has been a surprise in recent years by creating attractive televisions that have even been able to compete against models from more recognized brands.Vocals do lack some warmth, but there’s decent dynamism in Cap’s fight with Batroc in The Winter Soldier, with the effects and music combining well. These include Variable Refresh Rates and Auto Low Latency Mode as part of the Game Master Pro package geared to delivering the best picture settings for your gaming experience, that also supports Dolby Vision (and Dolby Vision IQ), TCL Game Bar and FreeSync Premium. But at this market level, there are very few competitors that do better when it comes to HDR playback. Chromecast, Google Assistant and popular SVOD apps are here, plus there’s Freeview Play/UK catch-up apps.

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

The Movie mode fixes the lost shadow detail issue impressively well but struggles with too much red in the mix and heavy amounts of greyness over dark scenes. The Smart TV system is delivered by Google TV with Google Assistant built-in giving access to a huge variety of content via hands free control. For example, we obtain high levels of contrast and brightness, therefore, the whites and blacks appear purer, achieving a certain depth in the colors . TCL has listed five key areas of improvement for its latest screens, including more precise light control, round halos (rather than a square effect) and a Direct Drive to minimise backlight delays, leading to higher brightness, better contrasts and less blooming. The maximum frequency is 60 Hz, however, it improves fluidity and precision in movements thanks to Motion Clarity Pro and Noise Reduction .And, as Bond sets after assassins at the beginning of Skyfall, the sound is convincingly expansive, clear and detailed, offering some decent welly as things get hectic. And while some aspects of its processing may feel a bit basic, TCL’s set does a pretty nice job of upconverting HD sources to 4K.
