Manual of product 43C645K
Editorial note
The TCL 43C645K is a television that stands out for its exceptional picture quality thanks to QLED technology and 4K Ultra HD resolution, providing an immersive viewing experience and vibrant colors. Its modern, bezel-less design seamlessly integrates into various environments, adding a touch of elegance to your living space. However, this model has some notable drawbacks. The lack of Smart TV features limits access to streaming apps, making the viewing experience less modern compared to other competing models. Additionally, with a refresh rate of 60 Hz, it may not satisfy demanding users, especially when viewing high-speed content like video games or sports. Regarding energy efficiency, the G class for SDR and HDR may lead to higher electricity costs, which is worth considering for users concerned about their ecological footprint. The absence of USB 3.0 ports may also limit data transfer speeds for connected devices, a disadvantage for those wishing to read content stored on USB drives or external hard drives. Finally, despite a response time of 15 ms that is reasonable for general use, it may not meet the expectations of competitive gamers who prioritize faster performance. In summary, the TCL 43C645K offers good picture quality and an attractive design, but its limitations in connectivity and features may not suit all users.Score details
