TCL C805

One of the surprises of 2023 was gifted to us by TCL with the TCL C805 model, which is my personal opinion. One of the best doors to MiniLED technology this season and which Xataka Smart Home coordinator Antonio Sabán also fell in love with.

It is quantum dot panel type LCD-VA backlit FALD (Full Array Local Dimming) and compatible with Dolby Vision. It also has a natural frequency of 144 Hz, which is ideal for enjoying video games, and this is something that is also helped by the special functions offered by Google TV.

Supports most common HDR formats including: HDR10, HDR10+, HLG and Dolby Vision and can reach maximum brightness 1,300 nits In HDR.

As for the sound, I think this is perhaps the weak point of the model, since the television is only equipped with a 2.0 channel system and can reach maximum power up to 30 W. Of course, it’s compatible with Dolby Atmos. and HDMI 2.1 ports compatible with eARC, but if you want more power you’ll need to have separate audio equipment.

Available in versions 50, 55, 65, 75, 85 and 98 inch model, for example the 55″ model, which can be purchased for less than 700 euros, making it one of the most interesting models on the market at the moment, depending on the offers. In certain offers, you can also buy even the 65″ model for under 700 euros .

Xiaomi Mi TV A2

José Antonio Carmona from Xataka Smart Home says that his choice for the television with the best quality-price ratio will be the Xiaomi Mi TV A2 model, which currently has a very competitive price on the market.

Although it does not look like OLED or mini LED or the famous 120 Hz, it is a television that I like mainly because of its design, with almost invisible metal surrounding an LED panel capable of delivering 4K UHD resolution and 60 Hz natural frequency. It comes using technologies such as Dolby Vision, HDR10 and HLG.

Although this model does not have the brutal features of other alternatives, it allows you to take advantage of Dolby Audio and DTS-HD sound with its two speakers of 12 W each. Also, HDMI 2.0, USB 2.0, Ethernet, WiFi 5 and Bluetooth 5.0 ports cannot be missing.

Of course, there is no HDMI 2.1 input, but this is not necessary unless you want it to be used with the Next Generation console.

But now let’s get to the heart of the matter and, as José Antonio comments, this television Android TV as operating system, something he personally looks for when purchasing a new television. Moreover, its functioning has been greatly improved in the latest versions and allows you to enjoy all applications purchased from the Google Play Store.

Finally, Price is also one of the reasons This gives us the following, because if you want the 50 inch model we can currently find it for just under 350 euros.

TCL C655 Pro

Antonio Vallejo from Xataka Smart Home tells us about the new model TCL C655 Pro, which he claims is one of the brand’s most attractive offers for this year.

TCL is a brand that deigns to offer more models of televisions with technology. MiniLED and FALD backlight economic. Because brightness, better control and high resolution are not restricted parts for high range.

This particular model was released in 2024. It has a QLED panel and is compatible with the most used HDR formats such as: Dolby Vision and HDR10+.

Moreover, it has a good system 2.1 audio up to 50W power and Dolby Atmos. We should not forget that it contains Google TV as operating system.

Eva Rodríguez from Luis de Xataka Smart Home and Juan Carlos López from Xataka, OLED model Compared to previous LCDs, they say it offers higher image quality despite a slightly higher price.

In Eva’s words:

It is not a cheap Smart TV, but if you are looking for an OLED model, you will have to increase your budget and this is where the Korean company shines in terms of price-quality. My offer is the LG OLED C3, a television for demanding people. all terrain television.

One to start OLED panel With everything that this means (and I say this with the 300 Euro Smart TV at home), superior image quality with which you can enjoy movies and series, as well as color intensity and different brightness that you can enjoy.

Eva also points out the good features of the TV and the icing on the cake when playing with the next generation consoles. web operating system, An increasingly optimized operating system.

Juan Carlos He also emphasizes that this is the most important thing for him right now. TV with the best price-performance ratio Since it is a real off-road model, it is on the market:

Its image quality when playing movie content can rival the most advanced OLED and miniLED televisions from any brand, but that’s certainly not its only appealing quality.

Unbeatable with video games. It literally has it all: four full-bandwidth HDMI 2.1 inputs, adaptive refresh compatible with NVIDIA G-SYNC and AMD FreeSync Premium technologies, very low latency… And its sound is on par, if not outstanding. I think anyone who is looking for a versatile television and wants to get the most out of every euro will be right to choose this model. Engaged

Also, in terms of prices, you can currently find offers for under 1,300 euros for the 55-inch version, depending on the specific promotion.

65 inches for 569 Euros QLED panel, HDMI 2.1 and Google TV. Technologies that will be required today both at the panel level and in terms of connection and operating system.

It’s a brand that’s generous in size, has decent enough image quality, and offers very good prices.
