Manual of product 98C809
Editorial note
The TCL 98C809 television stands out with its large 98-inch screen, providing an immersive visual experience particularly appreciated for movies, gaming, and sports. The QLED technology, combined with Mini LED backlighting, ensures exceptional picture quality with vibrant colors and enhanced contrast. Additionally, the varied connectivity, with 4 HDMI ports and support for modern standards like HDMI 2.1, allows for multiple devices to be connected simultaneously. The integration of the Google Assistant voice assistant makes control easier and renders interaction with the television intuitive. However, some drawbacks must be considered. The high weight of 58 kg can make installation and transport difficult, often requiring the help of several people. The energy efficiency class G for SDR and HDR also indicates relatively high energy consumption, which could impact electricity bills. Furthermore, the absence of certain smart features, such as pre-installed streaming apps, limits the user experience compared to other competing models. Additionally, the lack of USB 2.0 or 3.2 ports restricts connectivity options for external devices. In summary, the TCL 98C809 offers excellent performance and remarkable picture quality, but its weight, energy consumption, and the absence of certain smart features may be friction points for users looking for a television that is both high-performing and easy to use.Score details
