Performance
All the TVs ranging between the 55-inch model, up to the 75-inch model have great performance. They all have 4K Ultra HD resolution and feature Dolby Vision for clear HDR images. They also use Contrast Control Zone Technology to control the local dimming. Gamers will be impressed with the 120Hz refresh rate which reduces motion blur. The Roku operating system ensures you can watch all your favorite shows, and it also has voice control compatibility. The TCL range compares well against the Toshiba 43LF711U20.
Design
TCL TV’s come with the same black design as most new TVs, but they have stylish metallic strips running along the front to give them a more upmarket look. The legs are aggressively styled and need a wide stand. You can also do without stands and use a wall mount if you like. They come with all the usual ports you’d expect including three HDMI ports, a composite video port, and ethernet ports, a headphone jack, and an optical audio output port. If you’d prefer a Fire TV, check out the Insignia NS-50DF710NA19.
