The optical audio output is ideal for connecting to soundbars or audio systems for enhanced performance. We are reviewing the 55-inch version of the TCL C735 and given other screen sizes use similar panels, performance should be reasonably similar, but we cannot guarantee that will be the case given the usual differences in LCD panel to panel. But the chip provides good deinterlacing, excellent noise reduction for both random noise and MPEG noise, as well as high-quality scaling that allows you to bring out a lot of details. Considering its competitive pricing in relation to its performance and features, the TCL 55C735K provides an excellent balance between quality and affordability.

HDR is not overly bright and this may be a downside for some users, but in all other regards, the TCL C735 offers a wealth of features that will keep most casual gamers happy. Will the 55-inch QLED 55C635K be TCL’s ticket to the big time in the UK, or will it need to up its game? I works closely with our testing team to ensure our reviews are accurate, informative, and easy to understand. As we do with all reviews, we factory reset the TCL C735 and then measured the picture presets to find which is the most accurate to the industry standards out-of-the-box so we can view content as it was mastered and intended to be seen.Adjusting the Trumotion parameter in the settings allows you to increase the clarity of movement, but with a possible loss of detail. Used in a typical room with lighting switched on, many of the panel limitations are mitigated and the performance is what we would expect at this market point and with this type of VA panel and backlight. Additionally, this TV features HDR (High Dynamic Range) support, which enhances the overall picture quality by providing excellent brightness and contrast levels. The TCL 55C735K regularly receives software updates, ensuring that you have access to the latest features, bug fixes, and performance improvements.

It’s a typical direct LED-backlit LCD with the slight downsides associated with that technology, but used in a typical room with ambient lighting, and viewed directly onto the screen, the performance is very good at this market level. HDR PREMIUM 1000 provides a superior High Dynamic Range experience with high brightness, exceptional shadow detail and vivid accurate colours.

In the 10% window, the measured peak is 1130 nits, and in a completely white field, the screen shows 570 nits.
