TCL\u00a0seeks to compete against the big firms that take over the television market.\u00a0Normally their models stand out between the low and medium range, however, they have been working on new proposals that can really be an option for users.<\/p>\n

Today we talk about the TCL C835 , a high-end model with advanced features in each of its sections. Despite how complete it seems to be, we notice that its price is not so high compared to other televisions. This detail makes it become more interesting.<\/p>\n

Exterior design of the TCL 55C835<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Aesthetically, it is striking for integrating a more elaborate aspect, especially if we compare it with televisions belonging to the same firm where we have simple aspects that do not show changes.\u00a0In this case we notice an important renovation that improves the design\u00a0.<\/p>\n

We are facing the\u00a055-inch\u00a0version that has dimensions of\u00a0710 x 1226 x 68 mm\u00a0without considering the VESA support, since including said tool increases the depth.\u00a0The weight reaches 16.7 kilograms, so we recommend asking for help to place it without problems.<\/p>\n

We believe that the best position is achieved directly on the wall, since we will see the front completely,\u00a0a space that seems quite striking\u00a0, especially due to the inclusion of a thin frame that generates elegance and allows better integration into any environment.<\/p>\n

It also allows for more usable space,\u00a0which benefits content playback\u00a0.\u00a0The rear part does not change the good design achieved because it does not have a bulky space and maintains a slim appearance that blends quite well with any decoration.<\/p>\n

Connectivity<\/h3>\n

It has four\u00a0HDMI 2.1\u00a0inputs perfect for sharing the signal of compatible devices such as consoles, computers, laptops and players, although there will be some other options to connect.\u00a0Here the interesting thing is the version that improves the transmission performance.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We find two\u00a0USB 2.0\u00a0ports that offer the possibility of playing photos, videos and music directly to the TV from compatible units.\u00a0However, the really attractive thing turns out to be the recording of content that we can use to save specific content.<\/p>\n

There will be other interesting connections that enhance the experience on the subject of physical connectivity.\u00a0Here we have a\u00a0satellite input\u00a0, an\u00a0optical\u00a0audio\u00a0output\u00a0,\u00a0a\u00a0side AV\u00a0and a\u00a0headphone\u00a0jack\u00a0.\u00a0It offers more options which you can check in the specification table.<\/p>\n

Regarding the TV tuners, it integrates\u00a0DVB-T2\/C\/S2\u00a0that do a good tracking to receive terrestrial, satellite and cable channels.\u00a0The wireless section stands out for the options it allows to use, which improve the experience by providing facilities.\u00a0We have\u00a0Wi-Fi\u00a0,\u00a0Bluetooth\u00a0and\u00a0DLNA\u00a0.<\/p>\n

Image quality and functions in general<\/h3>\n

The\u00a0TCL 55C835\u00a0stands out in the image section where we notice a deep optimization that seeks to maximize quality.\u00a0For this they have integrated a\u00a04K\u00a0resolution that offers four times more power than Full HD, therefore, we will\u00a0see deep details in each scene\u00a0.<\/p>\n

The most interesting thing is that it has a\u00a0Mini LED\u00a0backlight being the most powerful panel currently because it works with more LED bulbs achieving 1,000 zones for powerful local dimming.\u00a0We see deep blacks and more detailed dark scenes.<\/p>\n

It also works with a VA\u00a0panel\u00a0that offers high levels of contrast and brightness, therefore, we will\u00a0see whites\u00a0and\u00a0blacks with greater purity, achieving depth in the colors\u00a0.\u00a0Also, viewing dark scenes in dimly lit rooms is comfortable without light leakage.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Being a high-end model, it will have extra technologies that improve essential parameters for a solid experience.\u00a0Here we highlight the inclusion of\u00a0Quantum Dot Color\u00a0that seeks to offer a higher image quality thanks to the fact that we receive a wider range of colors.<\/p>\n

The rest of the functions focus on contrast, brightness and saturation.\u00a0Likewise, we have compatibility with\u00a0HDR10 +\u00a0,\u00a0HLG\u00a0,\u00a0Dolby Vision IQ\u00a0and\u00a0PQ10\u00a0.\u00a0It is interesting that its frequency works from 48 Hz to 144 Hz, automatically adjusting to the demand of the content.<\/p>\n

Sound<\/h3>\n

We receive a power of\u00a040W\u00a0through two speakers and a subwoofer, improving the audio experience compared to other models that are in its price range.\u00a0Everything improves because this sound system belongs to the ONKYO firm\u00a0.<\/p>\n

Firm specialized in audio issues, in addition, it works with\u00a0Dolby Atmos\u00a0,\u00a0Dolby TrueHD\u00a0and\u00a0DTS\u00a0technologies , which greatly improve the experience, resulting in surround and precise sound.\u00a0The quality seems to us sufficient to clearly hear any content.<\/p>\n

Analysis of the software \/ Smart TV and more notable features<\/h3>\n

It works with Android in its most recent version, therefore, we are going to enjoy the improvements recently implemented<\/p>\n

The\u00a0TCL 55C835\u00a0offers a fairly complete system that has several features that improve the user experience.\u00a0We are talking about Android that comes in its most recent version.\u00a0Here we have the\u00a0Play Store\u00a0that gives us the option to install more than 7,000 applications.<\/p>\n

Obviously those very popular options will be available, in addition, we can download different alternatives such as games, movies and music.\u00a0It works with\u00a0Google Assistant\u00a0and\u00a0Alexa\u00a0, assistants that allow you to control certain functions of the TV by voice.<\/p>\n

Another attraction is the inclusion of\u00a0Apple AirPlay 2\u00a0that is used to transmit music, photos and videos from an iPhone, iPad or Mac. All with adequate performance.\u00a0Finally, mention that this TV is an interesting option to play with\u00a0AMD FreeSync Premium Pro\u00a0.<\/p>\n
