Editorial note

The TCL 55EP658 is a television that offers an immersive visual experience thanks to its 4K Ultra HD resolution of 3840 x 2160 pixels and its direct LED backlighting technology, ensuring vibrant colors and optimal brightness in varying lighting conditions. Its Android 9.0 operating system allows for smooth navigation, although the lack of Smart TV features limits access to streaming applications. From a performance standpoint, this model is satisfactory for standard use. However, the 10 ms response time may not meet the expectations of gamers looking for increased responsiveness. The modern and sleek design of the television is a plus, but its weight of 12.4 kg can complicate installation without assistance. In terms of value for money, the TCL 55EP658 stands out with its interesting offering, although it has some limitations, notably a brightness of 260 cd/m², which can be problematic in very bright environments. Features such as DLNA compatibility and Dolby Digital decoders enhance the user experience, but they do not fully compensate for the weaknesses related to brightness. Finally, although the user manual is available, it is relatively short and may lack details on certain features. In summary, the TCL 55EP658 is a solid option for those looking for a television with good display characteristics, while keeping its limitations in mind.
