Conclusion Whether enjoying films, gaming, live TV or streaming - the TCL 65C8K masters all disciplines in excellent quality. A universalist at the highest level.
The TCL C8K series combines cutting-edge display technologies such as ZeroBorder™, QD-Mini LED, QLED, 4K HDR Premium 5000, the CrystGlow WHVA panel, and 144Hz Motion Clarity Pro. This results in impressively precise contrasts, reduced reflections, and a crystal-clear, vibrant HDR image – with an exceptionally wide viewing angle. Furthermore, the television is ideal for gamers: with Game Master, HDMI 2.1, ALLM, 144Hz VRR, FreeSync Premium Pro, the TCL Game Bar, and the 288Hz Game Accelerator, the C8K series supports all current HDR formats (including HDR10+, Dolby Vision, and Dolby Vision IQ) – providing an impressive experience for movies, streaming, sports, and gaming. The TCL C8K series also features the most advanced smart TV system: Google TV with integrated Google Assistant. Thanks to hands-free voice control, you can easily access your favorite content – just speak directly to the TV. The C8K series also sets new standards in sound: Bang & Olufsen delivers an immersive audio experience with Dolby Atmos and DTS:X – perfect for movies, music, and games. Elegant design meets strong performance: the ultra-slim, bezel-less design of the C8K series impresses with a luxurious look and comes with an adjustable stand. ZeroBorder refers to the nearly invisible black border (Black Matrix) at the edge of the screen, as perceived under normal viewing conditions. 4K HDR Premium 5000 is available for the 85" and 98" models; 4K HDR Premium 4500 for the 65" and 75" models. The 288Hz Game Accelerator is based on TCL's DLG technology (Dual Line Gate) and enables a higher refresh rate and lower latency for PC games (288Hz in Full HD resolution). The 288Hz is achieved through special algorithms and technologies.
