Micro Dimming analyses TV content in 1,296 separate zones, intelligently adjusting brightness and darkness. A lot of this depth is down to the TCL’s direct LED backlighting, but the company doesn’t seem to have made much of an effort to minimise it. There’s good depth of field to images, and picture noise is suppressed really well – even in scenes of uniform colour and depth. To help you differentiate between TCL’s many models, we will attempt to explain exactly how the company assigns its alpha-numerical names, demystifying them and allowing you to understand what each new model is.

Its viewable size diagonal is 1080 millimeters, providing a large viewing area for an immersive entertainment experience. His bylines includeGQ, The Guardian, Hi-Fi+, Metro, The Observer, Pocket Lint, Shortlist, Stuff T3, Tom's Guide, Trusted Reviews, and more. TCL's 4-Series might look a little more stripped down by comparison, but there's still plenty to chew on and navigating it is a whole lot smoother. The only potential concern here is that it supports HDR10 but not other standards, like Dolby Vision, which might not matter to most people.The RS530K is available in either 32in or 40in and looks relatively similar in terms of specifications. Netflix, Prime Video, Hulu, HBO, and pretty much every other mainstream service are represented here. The television operates at an AC input frequency of 50 Hz and has a power consumption of 55 W in typical usage, while the maximum power consumption reaches 110 W. HDR format support covers every base, with HDR10, HDR10+, HLG and Dolby Vision IQ as well as IMAX Enhanced all present and correct.

It's also packing HDR10+ and doesn’t have any audio/video syncing issues – and is yours for very similar money to the EP658. Its Mini LED flagship, the C845 series, is now available in a whopping 98in as well as 55in, 65in, 75in and 85in, and delivers the brightest, most consistent picture TCL has produced to date according to the manufacturer. It's the only way to guarantee you'll get the best playback out of apps like YouTube and ESPN, for example. On brighter content scenes, SMART HDR increases the level of contrast ratio to differentiate objects from the background.it is easily placed onto any standor wall-mounted(thanks toitsVESA-compatiblewall mounting systems) providing maximum flexibility when it comes to placement and room design. But not only does stepping up in quality to HD once or twice (first with a DVD of Zoolander, and then with a Netflix stream of Big Night followed by a 1080p Blu-ray disc of The Prestige) fail to really improve matters all that much, it also throws up some other shortcomings. With HDR content and sources being yet to reach heights of popularity, SMART HDR upgrades Standard Dynamic Range (SDR) content to HDR-like picture quality, allowing viewers to enjoy all of their favorite content in the highest picture quality possible. Designed to put you in the middle of every scene – with crystal clarity, crisper dialogue, and great detail. On the operating system side of things, TCL TVs use the Google TV interface in 2023 (unlike some previous years where Android OS was the main OS system for TCL models in the UK).

If you aren’t desperate for the latest technology, you can save yourself some money and pick up an older TCL TV as a number are still available from various retailers. But its flaws – as an upscaler, and particularly where it comes to keeping pictures and sound in sync – scupper its chances. Start at home, then continue while on the go - Google Play tracks your progress so you can play anytime, anywhere. TCL’s strategy in this regard is pretty straightforward: deliver several TV ranges, and make each one appreciably less expensive than the competition while matching them in terms of specification.

Like the vast majority of flatscreen TVs (not only the most affordable ones), the EP658 sounds fairly hard, and flat, and lacks any meaningful dynamic expression.

Not only can you add more apps from its vast library, but it is also easy to integrate withanandroid smart phone. The World’s End is an HDR10+ master, with all the theoretical advantages the dynamic metadata standard offers. It has a 60Hz VA panel with a quantum dot filter and direct LED backlighting and uses the same processor found on the C635K.Superior Colour and Contrast: Featuring High Dynamic Range Imaging (HDR10) and Micro Dimming Pro technologies – brighter whites and deeper blacks mean colour and contrast is optimised in every frame. With TVs to suit a wide range of budgets, TCL is taking the UK market very seriously, rattling its sabre at well-established elites of the industry such as Samsung and LG. Equipped with two speakers, the television offers a RMS rated power of 16 W, delivering adequate sound for an immersive viewing experience. This makes controlling the TV as simple as asking it tochange the volume or change the channel while also giving you a way to control linked smart devices around the home.
