Editorial note

The TCL 55C61B television stands out for its exceptional picture quality, thanks to QLED technology and a 4K Ultra HD resolution. This ensures vibrant colors and rich contrasts, providing an immersive viewing experience. Additionally, the wide range of connectivity options, including multiple HDMI and USB ports, allows for easy connection of various devices, although the lack of USB Type-C and USB 3.2 ports limits compatibility with some modern peripherals. In terms of sound, the TCL 55C61B supports advanced audio technologies like Dolby Atmos and DTS Virtual:X, delivering a captivating audio experience for movies and games. However, it is important to note that the television does not have Smart TV features, which restricts access to online streaming applications and services. Furthermore, its energy efficiency class G for HDR mode and F for SDR mode may lead to higher energy costs, affecting the financial sustainability of its use. In terms of performance, although the television offers an overall satisfactory experience, its 15 ms response time can result in motion blur during fast scenes, which can be a drawback for gamers. In summary, the TCL 55C61B presents good value for money, but some drawbacks related to energy efficiency and limited features may reduce perceived value for some users.
