Manual of product 98C805K
Editorial note
The TCL 98C805K stands out with its 98-inch 4K Ultra HD screen, offering an immersive visual experience thanks to stunning details and vibrant colors, supported by HDR technology. The performance is generally excellent, with advanced image processing that enhances visual quality. Additionally, it integrates practical features like Chromecast and Apple AirPlay 2, making it easy to stream content from various devices. However, this television has some limitations. It lacks Smart TV features, which restricts access to streaming apps directly from the device. The absence of the Timeshift function may also disappoint those who wish to control their viewing experience. Furthermore, its heavy weight of 55 kg makes installation and handling more difficult, and the lack of advanced image synchronization technologies like NVIDIA G-SYNC or AMD FreeSync may disappoint gamers. Regarding value for money, the TCL 98C805K proves to be very competitive, especially for a model of this size and with advanced audio features. Nevertheless, energy consumption, particularly in HDR mode, is relatively high, which could lead to higher electricity bills. Finally, although the product is supported by a user manual, the documentation could be more detailed to help users fully utilize all the features of the television. Overall, the TCL 98C805K is a good choice for those looking for a large screen with impressive picture quality, despite some limitations to consider.Score details
