The TCL 43EP640 stands out for its exceptional image quality, thanks to its 4K Ultra HD resolution (3840 x 2160 pixels), offering precise details and vibrant colors that promise an immersive viewing experience.

Regarding ratings, the user experience is rated at 75, thanks to advanced management features, although the lack of Smart TV limits access to applications. Performance is rated at 70, with excellent image quality, but a refresh rate that may disappoint some users. Connectivity receives a score of 80, highlighting versatility, while the design is rated at 85, showcasing its modern aesthetics. Finally, the value for money is rated at 65, due to limitations regarding brightness and image processing compared to higher-end models. Overall, the TCL 43EP640 is a good choice for those looking for a television that offers good image quality and an attractive design, but it may not be suitable for those who prioritize smart features and optimal performance for gaming.
