4K TELEVISION TCL SERIES X X4 QLED
TCL is one of the world’s biggest makers of TVs. But this Chinese brand is still not quite so well known in Australia due to it being a relatively recent entry under its own name. That doesn’t mean it’s behind in technology, as demonstrated by this 55X4US 4K Android TV, which proved quite the bargain.
EQUIPMENT
The TV’s 55-inch panel offers Ultra-HD resolution, and uses QLED technology. That’s Quantum Dot, which delivers precise wavelengths of light for maximum efficiency and accuracy. Its inputs support Ultra-HD Blu-ray and HDR signals, TCL branding the TV as HDR800, which we take to mean a maximum brightness of 800 nits.
The top 36cm of the screen’s height is just panel, with the electronics contained in the 44mm-thick bottom section. So that top part has something of the appearance of those OLED sheets of glass. It’s not quite that thin, but still super-slim at just 8.6mm, according to our measurements.
One slightly unusual but welcome
