Since its inception,\u00a0TCL<\/a>\u00a0has sought to maintain a good value for money,\u00a0which is sensational for us as users\u00a0, since they have released televisions with great features without the need to spend too much.\u00a0Proof of this is the\u00a0TCL 55P610\u00a0that remains a competitive model for the current mid-range.<\/p>\n

Of course, we want to make it clear that it is not a spectacular television that contains the most advanced functions, however, it seems to us an interesting option that includes the main functions for good behavior, in addition, it\u00a0turns out to be ideal if you want to change your old one. television\u00a0.\u00a0So, let’s get to know him more thoroughly.<\/p>\n

Design<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

Traditional design that does not implement major changes, however, it offers us a good adaptation<\/p>\n

We find a design that at first seems to have a good manufacturing, obviously it will not be the most modern and elegant TV, however, it\u00a0has some details that allow it to fit well in almost any environment\u00a0.\u00a0That is partly due to its black color that usually stands out, in addition, it has a better combination with home decoration.<\/p>\n

Another detail that cannot be overlooked in this aspect is that there are\u00a0slightly thin bezels\u00a0, which give it a greater presence if we see it from the front, that is, it increases its elegance, if that were not enough,\u00a0the screen. It has a more useful space\u00a0, so the content we are seeing will not have any kind of hindrance.<\/p>\n

Undoubtedly, these two points that we mention are the most attractive if we talk about aesthetics, however, on the reverse we find a not so creative elaboration that feels more noticeable thickness.\u00a0Although we believe that it is not something so relevant that the experience will change\u00a0.\u00a0Mind you, the building materials feel a bit weak.<\/p>\n

Connectivity<\/h3>\n

We turn to another topic that is also very important, and luckily for us we have been able to observe that we have the expected connectors.\u00a0Physically we have three\u00a0HDMI 2.0\u00a0that are the most used when connecting external devices.\u00a0We also have two\u00a0USB 2.0 (5V \/ 0.5A)\u00a0that are very useful in case you want to record content.\u00a0We have placed the rest of the physical connections in the specifications table that you have above.<\/p>\n

The tuners will not be a problem either and you have the main ones for a good television experience.\u00a0These can still be located in the table that we already mentioned.\u00a0At the wireless level we have the most striking options, to begin with, we have\u00a0Wi-Fi\u00a0to use the internet, for its part,\u00a0Bluetooth\u00a0offers us compatibility with different devices without having to connect cables that are sometimes annoying.\u00a0Finally, there is also\u00a0DLNA\u00a0.<\/p>\n

Image quality and functions in general<\/h2>\n

The quality that the\u00a0TCL 55P610\u00a0presents us\u00a0is considered acceptable, especially taking into account that its native definition, so to speak, is 4K that provides four times more power than that seen in Full HD, so,\u00a0in theory, it should show us better details with more realistic scenes\u00a0, although that depends on other things.<\/p>\n

Let’s start talking about its\u00a0LED\u00a0panel\u00a0that offers us a regular backlight, we say this because in certain environments it does not offer the necessary power for the content to remain in a clear state.\u00a0Especially in darker\u00a0and\u00a0brighter areas\u00a0.\u00a0To avoid these losses in quality we must find a place where this does not affect.<\/p>\n

The advantage is that some enhancement technologies are implemented that might not seem like it, but they end up helping considerably to get a better experience.\u00a0Here we can highlight the inclusion of\u00a0Micro Dimming\u00a0that focuses on the contrast to give it greater depth, thus achieving a more detailed view regardless of the lighting.<\/p>\n

The colors also improve and display more vivid and intense, which gives a more natural tone to what we are seeing.\u00a0We cannot forget\u00a04K Upscaling\u00a0that seeks to improve the quality of minor definitions so that at all times we are close to the base resolution of this television.\u00a0There are\u00a0HDR10\u00a0and\u00a0HLG\u00a0formats\u00a0.<\/p>\n

Sound<\/h3>\n

We are going to have a simple audio that on several occasions will not have the power or clarity necessary to enjoy our content, especially when it is more demanding than normal.\u00a0The problem is that its two speakers only offer 16W\u00a0, something that is even below the 20W found in the mid-range.<\/p>\n

The only advantage we find is that some enhancement technologies are added that end up offering a slight help to the sound we have.\u00a0Here we highlight the presence of\u00a0Dolby Audio\u00a0and\u00a0Dolby Digital Plus\u00a0that will seek to give us a more immersive and precise experience, however, it is best to acquire an inexpensive sound bar.<\/p>\n

Software review \/ Smart TV and more notable features<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

The system that is offered to us is not a great thing, but it can serve us for certain options<\/p>\n

Not everything could be perfect for the\u00a0TCL 55P610\u00a0and unfortunately we have the most basic thing in its operating system known as SmartTV 3.0, however,\u00a0it does not offer great possibilities as if we find it in more worked platforms\u00a0.\u00a0For starters, his fluency is a bit poor and there will be times when we feel lags.<\/p>\n

Nor is it something that is going to bother too much, but in the end it is a point that should always be considered.\u00a0The only thing we have at our disposal are a series of pre-installed applications where\u00a0Netflix\u00a0,\u00a0Prime Video\u00a0and\u00a0YouTube stand out\u00a0.\u00a0However, we will not have other functions to perform, so you must purchase a TV Box.<\/p>\n
