Manual of product 98C735K
Editorial note
The TCL 98C735K is an impressive television with a 98-inch 4K Ultra HD screen, providing an immersive viewing experience thanks to its QLED and HDR technology. The colors are vibrant and the contrast is good, making watching movies and streaming content particularly enjoyable. Additionally, the energy consumption in standby mode is low, contributing to energy savings and more responsible usage. However, some drawbacks are worth noting. The energy efficiency class G could lead to higher electricity costs in the long run, and the lack of certain advanced HDR technologies may disappoint users looking for the best possible picture quality. Furthermore, the weight of the television, which is 56 kg, complicates its movement and installation without assistance. In terms of connectivity, the TCL 98C735K has 4 HDMI ports and Bluetooth 5.2 technology, but it lacks compatibility with voice assistants such as Samsung Bixby and Apple Siri, limiting voice control options. Moreover, the absence of USB 3.2 ports and built-in PC connectors may restrict connectivity with some modern peripherals, thus reducing the versatility of the device. Overall, the TCL 98C735K offers an excellent visual experience for its price, but potential users should consider its limitations in energy efficiency and smart features before making their choice.Score details
