TCL is once again highlighting its know-how by presenting these new 4K televisions. The brand is renewing its Mini LED range, and bringing many improvements for a better viewing experience. TCL even takes care to add new gaming functions to satisfy gamers. The C83 television has a good technical sheet, and has the advantage of already being more accessible thanks to this offer.

Initially priced at 1,290 euros, the TCL Mini LED 55C835 (2022) television goes to 1,170 euros once added to the basket on the Boulanger site, and by accumulating the ODR of a value of 200 euros, the TV drops to 970 euros.
Well-mastered and improved technology
TCL’s C83 TV displays a minimalist and elegant design in every way, without forgetting the finesse of the edgeless screen. Although it looks like most televisions available on the market, this QLED TV features Mini LED technology. Compared to the previous model, the brand is further refining the recipe for this backlighting technology and brings five innovations. Result: the new model offers much more precise backlighting, and this is reflected in the quality of the image thanks to better contrasts. The TV is better equipped to handle subjects moving at high speeds in the picture. Edges will be sharper and colors more accurate.
Besides the Mini LED, this QLED TV has other advantages. It displays 4K HDR definition and supports HDR 10, HDR10+, and even Dolby Vision content. The sound is provided by Dolby Atmos for an immersive result and a very vast audio, but not only: this TV includes a front 2.1 Onkyo soundbar to complete the whole thing.
A TV that emphasizes gaming functions
More and more high-end televisions have HDMI 2.1 connectivity. This is obviously the case with TCL’s C83 model, but which stands out from the competition by offering a refresh rate of up to 144 Hz. A serious asset that ensures good image fluidity when watching action films, sports or of course gaming sessions.
In addition, the 4 HDMI 2.1 ports present will allow you to display your games without flinching, with refresh rates of 120 FPS up to 4K definition. The manufacturer also offers a Game Master Pro mode. Once activated, it is possible to engage the VRR and the ALLM, in order to fight against screen tearing – or tearing – and obtain a fluid gaming experience without latency.
Google TV: a better thought out interface
To top it off, the TCL 55C835 runs on Google TV. The interface is still just as simple and fluid, and highlights more trending films and series according to your tastes and the services to which you subscribe. It obviously gives access to many applications such as Netflix, YouTube, Prime Video, Disney+, MyCanal, etc. Voice assistants are also included, so you can control your TV with your voice. It even includes the Chromecast feature, which will take care of streaming content from your smartphone.
