One of the world’s biggest TV brands may be a mystery to you: it’s TCL, whose TV division makes high-tech TVs at prices its rivals can’t match. If you’re looking for an amazing 4K Ultra HD TV that’s packed with tech but that won’t break the bank, it’s a name you’re going to love.
Who on Earth are TCL?
TCL was founded in 1981 and today it has 75,000 employees in 23 research labels and 21 manufacturing facilities. It makes all kinds of electronics, but it’s famed for its LCD panels. Unlike many firms who buy the same displays as everybody else, TCL makes its own panels. That means it has complete control over everything, enabling it to produce high quality 4K HDR TVs at exceptional prices.
Take the new DC748 range for example. With 4K Ultra HD and a wide colour gamut it delivers a much richer and more inviting experience than traditional LED screens. HDR 10 delivers vivid, lifelike colour, and its wide viewing angle means everybody gets the benefit of its pin-sharp pixels. No more fighting over the sweet spot on the sofa.
It’s pretty spectacular when it’s off, too. Its ultra-slim bezel-free design is elegant from every angle, and because it’s crafted from real aluminium without screws or plastic, it’s not only beautiful but durable too.
Amazing pictures, incredible sound
Some HDTVs forget that what you hear is as important as what you see. Not TCL. The DC748 range has DTS Premium Sound for an immersive virtual surround sound experience with deep, rich bass and crystal clear treble. And with 4 front-firing speakers delivering 60W of power, the integrated JBL soundbar gives you a truly cinematic experience.
It’s no hooligan, though. Clear Dialog technology ensures that the action never overpowers the dialogue, while Volume Levelling keeps everything consistent, so you don’t jump out of your skin during the ad breaks.
Freeview Play: no fuss. No fiddling. No fees
The TCL DC748 range includes Freeview Play, which combines catch-up, on-demand and live TV services in one place with no fuss, no faff and no monthly fees. That means you can find programmes from BBC iPlayer, ITV Hub, All 4, Demand 5 and UKTV Play alongside 70 channels and 15 HD channels. Missed a programme? Just scroll back in your TV guide to watch anything you’ve missed in the last seven days.
It’s sociable, too, with three HDMI ports and 2 USB ports you can connect your games consoles, UHD Blu-Ray player, streaming sticks and anything else you fancy to take advantage of that razor-sharp display and impressive audio. And because it has HDMI ARC (Audio Return Channel) built-in, it’s easy to make it the hub of your entire home entertainment universe.
