TCL was one of the first TV manufacturers to bet on QLED technology for an expanded color palette.
TCL TV, zoom on the 2022 range At the time of writing these lines, five Ultra HD 4K TV series are on the program, the TCL C93, TCL C83, TCL C73, TCL C63 and TCL P73. The first two named are based on Mini LED technology, the workhorse of the brand which was the first to offer such a television in stores with the 65X10 from the end of 2019. And the first four series are QLED obedience (nanocrystals Quantum Dots) for exceptional color performance. We repeat, the range will be enriched at the end of the year with the arrival of the brand's new 8K TVs. TCL Mini LED fourth generation Drawing on its experience and mastery of Mini LED technology, in 2022 the manufacturer is embarking on the TCL C93 and C83 TVs with advanced fourth-generation backlighting systems: OD5 (distance between the backlighting system and the LCD panel of 5 mm ) for the C93, OD12 (12 mm) for the C83. Combined with a native 10-bit panel, these have thousands of zones for the C93s and hundreds of zones for the C83s that are individually and very precisely controlled. On the C93 televisions, the peak light reaches 2,000 nits and the contrast ratio 10,000,000:1. The improvements in the TCL Mini LED process do not only lie in a minimum optical distance between the panel and the backlight. For example, all the diodes used (several thousand) are strictly identical, particularly in terms of performance (electrical efficiency, wavelength, power), to ensure perfect image homogeneity, but also in colorimetric terms for total uniformity and fight the Demura effect (also called Clouding) directly from the backlight system and no longer just at the LCD panel.The drastic selection of diodes is one of the main elements of the fourth generation of Mini LED backlighting by TCL.
Another precision given by TCL, the on-board LEDs are capable of changing state extremely quickly, i.e. a period of time less than that required to display an image, even with a 120 hertz signal. Called Direct Drive by TCL, this feature eliminates shadow problems on moving objects. Similarly, 16-bit obedience LEDs offer ultra-precise control of the brightness delivered in 65,536 steps. Thus, the slightest variations of the image are taken into account and reproduced on the screen for increased realism. Finally, TCL indicates that the diodes of the C93/C83 TVs are no longer square in shape but round, with a view to better control of the light generated and the significant reduction of the halo phenomenon (Blooming) still visible on the Mini LED diffusers. In total, the backlighting system of these TVs therefore includes five major technical developments for unprecedented display quality. And we must admit that the first demonstrations are convincing with a result extremely close to the Oled, particularly in the axis without visible trace of Blooming. TV TCL, the best screens for video games ? In addition to offering high-performance TVs for cinema or sport, one of TCL's objectives is to offer televisions adapted to a population that is constantly growing, generation after generation: video game enthusiasts. In 2021, globally, the turnover of the video game market was more than double that of cinema and music combined. In France, a country with 38.29 million players, the Sell (Syndicate of Leisure Software Publishers) tells us that in 2021, still, 71% of adults have played a video game, 98% of children (less than 14 years old). Other figures, 55% of French people have played video games almost every day, 73% occasionally. But to make the most of the new generation PlayStation and Xbox consoles and their games on a TV, not to mention PC Gaming computers, it must be at the forefront in many areas, including display frequency. 0 144Hz is the new 120Hz As a reminder, also known as "refresh rate", frame rate refers to the number of times per second that a television is able to update an image, expressed in hertz (Hz). Until now, TV buyers had two options: 50/60 Hz TVs and 100/120 Hz TVs. To be clear, the former are therefore capable of refreshing their image 50 or 60 times per second, while the latter reach a maximum of 100 or 120 frames per second. 1TCL is the first TV manufacturer to Massive adoption of 144Hz technology in its 2022 lineup.
This year, TCL announced that several of its "premium TVs", the C93, C83 and C73 models, come with Game Master Pro certified up to 144Hz with a 4K Ultra HD signal. Associated with a minimal latency time (Input Lag of 6 ms on these screens with the ALLM function), this allows players with a Gaming PC to use the latest generation games with maximum fluidity on the screen for unprecedented immersion, plus unparalleled responsiveness, the grail of online gamers. Of course, these televisions also have all the necessary equipment for the most perfect gaming sessions possible. In addition to HDMI 2.1 connectors, VRR and FreeSync technologies are present for always fluid images, without tearing problem (known as Tearing) on the screen. We can also mention the Google Stadia application to play directly on the TV using a simple controller and an internet subscription. Without forgetting this year the Game Bar menu, superimposed on the image, for quick access to all the parameters allowing to magnify the video game experience (32/9 mode for example with a PC signal). 2 TV TCL 2022, content and form Displaying a beautiful, fluid, colourful, detailed image is good. But doing it through televisions with a statutory, recognized and remarkable design is better. For several years, TCL has been working to combine content and form in order to compete, in this field too, with the Korean leaders, references in the field. The result is visible with TVs with modern and sober elegance. 3 The greatest designers were not mistaken, the TCL C93/C83 TVs have just been awarded by the prestigious international jury of the Red Hot Awards: Product Design 2022 which includes 50 experts from all regions of the world. A reward that counts and which highlights, of course, the aesthetics of the products but also their degree of innovation. A great success for the brand. 4The TCL C83/C93 TVs were awarded by the jury for the prestigious Red Hot Awards 2022, a great recognition.
