TCL 65C728

Very good on paper, less obvious in real life

The TV "obviously" ticks all the boxes: 4k, 120Hz, ALLM, VRR, but not necessarily at the same time. That's really not cool.

On my Xbox Series X, I activate 120Hz, poof, the TV switches to 1080p! Huh? Why? Well Ok, I reactivate the 4k, and wham, the TV switches back to 60Hz... No no no Mr TCL, it's not good to put all the technical mentions on the packaging if everything is not activated at the same time! You have to write 4k "OR" 120Hz if having both at the same time is not possible. Among the mentions, there was indeed AndroidTV "AND" 65", not "OR". This is to be known BEFORE purchase!

Another problem, the VRR (Variable Refresh Rate), is supposed to adapt the refresh rate of the screen (between 30 and 120Hz), according to the needs of the console. The 120Hz is already forgotten (or else, you play in 1080p). And there, at each change of frequency, we have a huge Pop-Up window! When you know that there can be several frequency jumps per SECOND, I let you imagine the annoyance of having this Pop-Up almost permanently! In Forza Horizon 5, in the rear view, the Pop-Up covers the rear bumper of the cars! And as if that wasn't enough, the arrival of this Pop-Up tends to make the screen blink ! Crazy.

The PLUS :
- Beautiful picture, crazy immersion for movies (Blu-Ray 4k) or Next Gen games (FH5, Ori, CyberPunk).
- ALLM, HDR10+, Dolby Vision, and the whole AndroidTV part works well.
The MINUSES:
- 4k and 120Hz NOT CUMULABLE!!!
- VRR that ruins the experience. I'd even say it rots the atmosphere in 10 seconds.
- The picture settings are not super intuitive, getting the picture you want is less obvious than on my previous 3 TVs (LG, Sony and Samsung).
- Android TCL apps included not "great", not uninstallable, not deactivatable.

In short, angry with a TV that doesn't deliver on its promises. But despite everything, it's like being at the cinema, and the price/price ratio remains quite honourable.

Super TV

Great value for money! Deep colours and blacks with the QLED and smoothness with the 100 hz panel. The hdmi 2.1 ports allow my PS5 to develop its potential. I'm happy with my purchase.

Meets expectations

Very nice quality for this 65" screen, maybe a lack of brightness in a very bright room but that doesn't take away from the quality.
The smart TV part with android tv is perfect, you can install or remove apps with ease.
The shipping and receiving is no problem, very protective packaging, ordered on 16/02 received on 18/02....
I'm very pleased with the quality of the product and the price.
I recommend everything...
Thank you LDLC
