The TCL P8K TV series has five [abc]Ultra HD[/abc] [abc]4K[/abc] models: the TCL 55P8K (55'', 140 cm), TCL 65P8K (65'', 165 cm), TCL 75P8K (75'', 191 cm), TCL 85P8K (85'', 216 cm) and TCL 98P8K (98'', 249 cm).
TCL P8K, main specifications££££
The TCL P8K TVs benefit from a double stand (at both ends of the screen) which can be raised to place a sound bar under the screen. Of course, Quantum Dots technology (nanocrystals) is used for 93% coverage of the DCI-P3 gamut thanks to nanocrystals with a unique alloy for a more pronounced reaction to light, associated with a native 10-bit 144 Hz HVA type [abc]LCD[/abc] panel and AiPQ Engine Pro video processing. For the rest, we find a very thin panel frame almost non-existent on the left, right sides and at the top of the screen, a Micro Dimming system (optimization of image quality by zone via software process) and a Direct [abc]LED[/abc] [abc]Global Dimming[/abc] backlight for a peak brightness of 350 nits for the 55'', 65'' and 75'', 450 nits for the 85'' and 98 inches. Of course, [abc]HDR10+[/abc], [abc]HDR HLG[/abc] and [abc]HDR Dolby Vision[/abc] IQ compatibility are included. The same goes for Filmmaker mode.
We also note a Sport mode to smooth out the display during a sports broadcast, a [abc]DVB-T[/abc]2/[abc]DVB-C[/abc]/[abc]DVB-S[/abc]2 tuner, the Game Master label, the [abc]ALLM[/abc] function and minimal Input Lag, less than 10 ms here. [abc]VRR[/abc] is of course included. The same goes for FreeSync Premium compatibility.
Finally, DLG (Dual Line Gate) technology allows the vertical resolution to be halved (so in [abc]1080p[/abc] and not [abc]2160p[/abc]), offers a 240 Hz display on the 55" and 98" specimens, compared to 288 Hz on the 65", 75" and 85", for a smoother and more enjoyable gaming experience.
The sound section mentions [abc]2.1[/abc] equipment from Onkyo for a total power of 35 W (2 x 10 W + 15 W) on all references.
TCL P8K, Smart Google TV function££££
If the multimedia gateway function [abc]UPnP[/abc] ([abc]DLNA[/abc]) is present in addition to the [abc]HBBTV[/abc] compatibility, one of the strong points of the TCL P8K TV series concerns the integration of the Google TV Smart TV function, in version 12.0 here.
Of course, the [abc]Wi-Fi[/abc] ax is embedded in addition to the [abc]Bluetooth[/abc] 5.0 function. All "driven" by a Quad Core processor. We also note the [abc]Chromecast (integrated)[/abc] and T-Cast Away functions to display the content of the TV screen on a second screen. The [abc]Dolby Atmos[/abc] and [abc]DTS[/abc] Virtual-X compatibilities are integrated (virtual process).
TCL P8K, the connectivity££££
In terms of connectivity, the TCL P8K TVs are equipped with four [abc]HDMI[/abc] [abc]2.1[/abc] ports (including one [abc]HFR[/abc] 4K/144, one [abc]HFR[/abc] 4K/120 and two 60 Hz, Pentonic 700 chip) certified [abc]HDCP[/abc] 2.2, [abc]eARC[/abc], [abc]VRR[/abc] and [abc]ALLM[/abc].
