Product Information

TCL has launched 8K and Mini-LED TVs stateside, but its presence on this side of the pond has been a low key affair. There are signs this is changing with the introduction of more Android TVs, while its C71 and C81 QLED TVs provided some competition for Samsung at the cheaper end of the market. The TCL C715 gets Android TV with Freeview Play integration, which takes care of the UK catch-up apps. You get the usual coterie of streaming apps: Netflix, Prime Video, YouTube, Rakuten TV and Disney+; but there’s no Apple TV or Now TV. The former will likely appear once the C715K receives the Google TV update, but there’s no timescale for that yet. Percentage luminance drop at 35 degree horizontal angle from the centre of the screen with 100% white output The courier will provide you with a 2-hour timeslot and some may call you 30-60 minutes before delivery. That’s not to say the screen is a bust for gaming, of course. Not everyone has a PS5, Xbox Series X or one of the latest Nvidia or AMD high-end PC graphics cards, after all, and the screen only takes a very respectable 16.2ms to render image data when running in its Game mode. It’s currently the case, too, that only very premium TVs tend to support the latest game features, so you won’t find such support on any of the 65C815K’s similarly priced rivals.

Dolby Vision improves on this with its Bright mode (the Dark version is quite dim). On Skyfall (4K Dolby Vision), colours are expressive, detail levels are great, and the TV digs up the fine detail in close ups of Craig’s hair and scars. The 55C735K’s pictures also have a nice 4K snap to them once the shadow detail and colour crush issues have been sorted out, and this holds up, too, when there’s movement in the frame, thanks to some impressively blur- and judder-free motion handling. 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 DateFor connections there are three HDMI 2.0b inputs, 2 x USB 2.0, an Ethernet port, headphone, optical out, common interface slot and tuners for satellite and terrestrial. Wireless covers built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. There is also support for gaming enthusiasts via TCL Games Master Pro with a native 144Hz panel and the ability to use this via HDMI 1, plus there is support for 4K/120 via HDMI 2, AMD Freesync premium, ALLM (Auto Low Latency mode) and VRR (Variable refresh rate). Plus, there is the TCL Game Bar where you can switch HGIG support on, look at your stats bar, see the frame rate and VRR performance, and there is also a toolbox for aiming aids to help you within your chosen games. The default Vivid mode, for instance, is a particularly bad offender when it comes to the crushed detail in dark scenes and distractingly overwrought colours. 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 low-power mode, meanwhile, is just too dark to do HDR effectively.

HDR10 and HLG compatibility ensures that content is displayed at its fullest potential with vivid colour and bright highlights This TV is 144hz VRR native: the highest standard in the TV industry and perfect for e-sport games and FPS.: smoother and seamless gameplay without any tearing.​ AMD Freesync premium for serious gamers with a fluid, tear-free gameplay experience at peak performance​. TCL Game bar: never leave your game, see all gaming options and customize your experience.​ UHD QLED display produces 4x the resolution of Full HD, delivering stunning image clarity and vibrant coloursThe 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. With the TCL being a value-for-money LED LCD TV made to a price point, the one area where the performance will take a hit is with HDR. The LED LCD panel used is not capable of high peak brightness levels like the more expensive LCD TVs on the market and that is why using dynamic metadata formats like Dolby Vision and HDR10+ makes sense, as they can be utilised for the panel's capabilities. Peak brightness is also just one area of what makes up an HDR image, with a wide colour gamut and good tone mapping also helping in this regard. 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.
