Product Information

TCL supplies two remotes with this device. One is the usual TCL remote. It has remained unchanged for several years, it is long and narrow with pleasant rubber keys. Despite improvements, VA displays remain sensitive to changes in brightness at wide viewing angles. In concrete terms, you lose contrast and brightness when you are not sitting directly in front of the TV. Colors are well preserved. This screen handles reflections well. On paper, everything about the C935 seems great. The features, and especially the cost compared to some of the other TV’s on the market today.

Fair points. Another consideration for my personal circumstances is that it would be placed near a south facing window so quite bright. However, during the week, I’ll rarely be watching until gone 8pm so not much of a problem. Tone mapping of HDR10 content is very important to get the best out of every image. The TCL respects metadata and shows white detail up to 4,000 nits. For that you have to leave ‘Dynamic Tonemapping’ activated. With this, the TV neatly brings out all the white detail, so that every clear nuance remains visible. However, the image loses a little contrast, it seems to us that the tone mapping unnecessarily lifts the dark tones. TCL is aware of this issue and a software fix is ​​in the works. You can also mitigate the problem a bit by activating “local contrast”.the TCL manages to convey HDR content in a balanced manner with decent colour accuracy, skin tones and some shadow detail

I’ll let you know, hopefully getting the C935 in the next week or two. I can say for sure it’ll be much better than the C1 for me due to the brightness. The C1 was way to dark, and playing SDR games looked like I was wearing dark sunglasses while looking at the screen. We do all our testing to the industry standards for TV and film content, which means that TVs should have at least one picture preset that tries to match these standards, so you can see the content as it was supposed to be seen and as mastered. As the TCL does not have ISF, THX or Filmmaker Modes we used the Cinema preset. We made sure to switch off all image manipulation features, global dimming and image smoothing.

The C815 features both the major dynamic metadata HDR formats Dolby Vision and HDR10+ as well as normal HDR10 content. There is also an Onkyo 2.1 soundbar at the bottom of the screen and the TCL supports Dolby Atmos decoding with ARC support via HDMI 1 and the C815 also supports DTS audio. Some high-end (AKA more expensive) mini LED rivals provide far more dimming zones than that, it has to be said. Experience suggests, though, that it's not always how many zones you've got that counts, but what you do with them. Also, some mini LED rivals, such as the Samsung QN85A and LG's QNED ranges, use IPS LCD panels that typically deliver weaker contrast than VA designs. The first brand to seriously introduce mini LED technology to the TV world was Chinese giant TCL. Yet sadly for UK shoppers those debut mini LED models didn't make it to our shores. That's changing for 2021 courtesy of TCL's new C825 range, represented here by the 65in 65C825K. Under the hood, the C835 still uses a quad-core ARM Cortex-A73 with 3GB RAM and Mali-G52 MP GPU that are sufficiently powerful for a smooth user experience. The C835 runs on Android 11 and is now also equipped with the Google TV interface. You can largely perform the installation using the Google Home app, which is more convenient than with the TV remote. However, during the last part of the installation, we notice that TCL asks you to log in with a TCL account. That in itself is not surprising, every manufacturer asks this, but optionally. At TCL this is now mandatory. As a user, you do not get any real benefit from this, the only difference is that you can place your device in the TCL Home app. While you do have to create an account again. So here’s a call to TCL to keep this optional.

TVs are getting an increasingly higher brightness and color range to display HDR content as strongly as possible. The C835 improves the performance of the C825 one more step. We see a significant step forward, especially in terms of clarity. On a 10% window it achieves 1,313 nits (against just under 1,000 nits on the C825) and on a completely white screen it achieves 638 nits (540 nits on the C825). It is striking that on a 25% window it even goes up to almost 1,600 nits. you will need to watch content from directly in front of the TV where possible and keep this in mind regarding the seating positions After correcting the greyscale, the white point now sits where it should meaning that the colour points now sit where they should be in most cases. There are a few very small errors with some points, but mainly at 100%, which is not as important as 75% and below, where the majority of images we watch are made up from. Overall, with DeltaE errors under one, we have no visible issues at all with TV and film content. HDR ResultsGoogle TV, meanwhile, delivers tons of content recommendations. In the first place, they appear centrally on the screen, and showed us Disney+ content, regardless of whether you use that app. Our most important comment therefore remains that you cannot change the organization of that screen. Furthermore, Google TV naturally offers an extremely wide range of apps.
