Manual of product 98C805
Editorial note
The TCL 98C805 is an impressive television with its large 98-inch screen, offering an immersive visual experience ideal for movies, gaming, and sporting events. Thanks to its advanced HDR technology, with Dolby Vision IQ, this model ensures vibrant colors and enhanced contrasts, significantly improving image quality. The TCL AiPQ 3.0 processor also provides optimal image processing, further enhancing this visual experience. However, this model has some drawbacks. The absence of certain smart TV features, such as built-in streaming apps, limits direct access to online content, which can be a disadvantage for users accustomed to a connected experience. Additionally, the heavy weight of 55 kg makes installation difficult, often requiring the help of several people. Audio performance is also noteworthy, although the lack of a built-in subwoofer may detract from the sound experience, especially when watching movies. Regarding energy efficiency, although the ECO mode helps reduce consumption, the energy efficiency class G may lead to higher electricity costs. Furthermore, the lack of USB 2.0 ports and DVI connectivity limits options for connecting various multimedia devices. In summary, the TCL 98C805 stands out for its image quality and interesting features, but it has limitations in connectivity and ease of installation, which could deter some users.Score details
