The P735K is also available in the UK, but despite sporting such a similar model number it doesn't support Quantum Dot colours or the latest high-end gaming features. And finally in the negative column, upscaling of sub-4K sources is merely adequate, lacking the sharpness and colour tone precision you get with the best upscaling processors around.
The TCL C745 is a 4K (3,840 x 2,160) HDR smart LED LCD TV that comes in 55in, 65in and 75in screen sizes. In fact, thanks in particular to its ground-breaking brightness and potent local dimming light control, it boasts a level of picture and sound performance that would normally cost you hundreds, even thousands of pounds more. The 55C735K marks a watershed moment for TCL’s fortunes in the European market as it finally sees the brand managing to combine a feature count that embarrasses many much more expensive TVs with some properly decent picture and sound quality. The AiPQ Engine is the incredible audio/visual processor driving TCL's outstanding features and performance. It’s less of a problem during the day, but becomes fairly evident when light levels in a room start to drop.This means that it displays the image as intended with no unnecessary clipping of details u This is fine on one level; Google TV has bags of content, of course, and its interface is more attractive and friendly than that of the older Android TV. content (The Amazing Spider-Man, Passengers, Skyfall), there’s a sense of height as Spider-Man swings through New York.
This, too, has a gaming advantage, as the Dolby Vision support extends to not just a Dolby Vision game mode, but support for Dolby Vision at 4K/120Hz frame rates – something hardly any TVs beyond LG’s 2022 (such as the C2) and 2023 (including the C3) OLEDs have previously been able to handle. The provided remote is a slim black plastic affair, with an emphasis on icons to identify the buttons.Its 65-inch 4K QLED display and HDR technology provide an extensive range of colours and contrast, giving you an unforgettable viewing experience. The QLED terminology means it uses Quantum Dots rather than the traditional LCD filters to deliver its colours, opening up the potential for a wider spectrum of colours. The TCL 65C735K 65" QLED 4K HDR Smart TV is an excellent choice for anyone looking to upgrade their home entertainment setup. This wears the branding of renowned Japanese audio brand Onkyo, raising hopes this might be the rarest of things: an affordable TV with a built-in sound system that doesn’t sound horrible. The Dolby Vision and HDR10+ support extends, too, to the formats’ IQ and Adaptive versions respectively, where they can intelligently adjust their picture outputs to suit the ambient light conditions in your room.
The TCL C745 sits towards the top of the brand’s 4K HDR lineup, offering most of the benefits associated with a modern smart TV, while also keeping gamers happy by including all the bells and whistles needed to get the most out of the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X. The AiPQ Engine processes content in real time, detecting environment and upscaling display and audio. While QLED means “Quantum Light Emitting Diodes“ which with the application of phosphorescent crystals gives bright and vibrant colors, improving the overall experience.When first detecting an HDR10 signal, the TV defaults to IMAX for some reason, but we’d recommend switching to the more accurate Movie picture mode, which offers an extensive choice of picture controls. The TCL C735 is a strong contender at the affordable end of the TV market, offering a feature-packed LCD QLED model with a global dimming LED backlight, and two HDMI 2. 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. Still, purists might prefer to use the Dolby Vision Dark picture mode at night, thus retaining the original artistic intentions.
Saturations with the industry standard HDR10 sources that actually make up the majority of HDR content are pushed way too far, losing subtle shading and detail in the process.The screen isn’t nearly as thin as that of Samsung’s recently tested QE55Q60B rival, but it’s slender enough, at least over roughly half of its rear area, to be considered elegant. As a result, bright pictures can end up resembling weird hand-painted caricatures rather than natural video. This is backed up by local dimming, where multiple ‘zones’ of the Mini LEDs can be controlled independently of each other depending on the local needs of the picture. Because of these gremlins, first impressions are mixed, with some strong contrast and vibrancy potential being undermined by some crushing of details in dark areas and overwrought colours. When moving on to actual viewing material, the C745 continued to impress, rendering the fine detail in native 4K content with commendable skill.
Great Deal
