Editorial note

The TCL 55C849 television stands out with its 4K Ultra HD resolution, offering exceptional display quality thanks to QLED technology and Mini LED backlighting. With a native refresh rate of 144 Hz and a response time of 5.7 ms, it ensures a smooth visual experience, ideal for video games and moving content. Its bezel-less design and the VESA standard of 300 x 300 mm make it easy to integrate into various spaces while giving it a modern and sleek aesthetic. However, this television has some notable drawbacks. The lack of Smart TV features limits access to streaming applications, which may disappoint users looking for a connected experience. Additionally, although the resolution is high, the unspecified contrast ratio could affect display quality in certain lighting conditions. Its weight, around 18.4 kg with the stand, may also make installation or moving more difficult, especially for one person. In terms of user experience, the score of 70 reflects general satisfaction, although limitations should be considered. In terms of performance, the television scores 80 due to its display quality and smoothness. Its design is rated with a score of 85, while the value for money is deemed acceptable with a score of 75. In contrast, usability, rated at 65, highlights potential difficulties related to the weight of the device. In summary, the TCL 55C849 is a high-performing television with impressive image quality, but it may not be suitable for all users due to its connectivity limitations and weight.
