In short, the TCL P725 TV series should have six Ultra HD 4K references, the TCL 43P735 (43'', 109 cm), TCL 50P735 (50'', 127 cm), TCL 55P735 (55'', 140 cm), TCL 65P735 (65'', 165 cm), TCL 75P735 (75'', 191 cm) and TCL 85P735 (85'', 216 cm). As you can see, after the Ultra HD 8K TCL 85X925 specimen presented at the end of 2021, the brand is investing in the sector of very large diagonals at an affordable price in 2022.
TCL P735, main technical characteristics
For the rest, there is a very thin LCD panel frame, almost non-existent on the left, right and top sides of the screen, a native 10-bit 50 Hz LCD panel combined with AiPQ Engine video processing. There is also a WCG (Wide Color Gamut) panel, a Micro Dimming system (optimization of image quality by zone via software process) and Direct LED Global Dimming backlighting. Of course, HDR10, HDR HLG and HDR Dolby Vision compatibility is required.
There is still Motion Clarity processing to make the display more fluid during a sports broadcast, a DVB-T2/DVB-C and DVB-S2 tuner and the Game Master label. The latter involves the ALLM function, HDMI 2.1 connectivity (an input provided on TCL P73 TVs) and a minimum Input Lag, less than 10 ms here.
TCL P735, Smart Google TV function
If the UPnP (DLNA) media gateway function is present, in addition to HBBTV compatibility, one of the strengths of the TCL P73 TV series is the integration of the Google TV Smart TV function. In addition to having an internet browser, Voice Search and Chromecast functions, offering access to the Google Play Store rich in several thousand free applications, there is multi-account management, PIP, the Cast function efficient on Ultra HD content, multitasking management to navigate between several applications, quick access to favorite content via a side information bar superimposed on the screen, Google Assistant compatibility and the Hands free Voice Control function (voice control of the TV) without the need for the remote control (miro integrated in the TV). New in 2022, the Google Duo video chat application is present (optional camera required). All with 16 GB of flash memory expandable via USB. Direct access to Netflix and Youtube in Ultra HD/4K is also required. Finally, the TCL P73 TVs are also Works with Fransat certified. Namely, the Works with Alexa certification (need for an Amazon Echo type connected speaker) is present.
Of course, Wi-Fi ac is on board, in addition to the Bluetooth function. All “driven†by a Quad Core processor. We also note the T-Cast Away function to display the content of the TV screen on a second screen. And Dolby Atmos and DTS-HD compatibility is required (virtual process).
The connectors
Connectivity has three HDMI CEC inputs, one 2.1 as already mentioned and two 2.0b (2160p/50 and 2160p/60 compatible). On the HDMI 2.1 connector, there is also the eARC function. There are still, among other things, two USB ports, an Ethernet port and a CI+ port certified Canal Ready. Plus an optical output. Of course, HEVC management (IP and Broadcast) is provided.
Scheduled availability between the months of April and May, depending on the diagonal. Indicative prices still unknown.
