Manual of product 32DS520F
Editorial note
The TCL 32DS520F is a television that offers Full HD image quality with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels, ensuring an immersive visual experience and vibrant colors. Its modern design is an asset, with an included desktop stand and VESA compatibility that makes wall mounting easy, allowing for seamless integration into various spaces. Additionally, advanced audio features, such as built-in Dolby Digital decoders and an equalizer, contribute to an enriching sound experience. However, the product has some drawbacks. The lack of Smart TV features limits access to modern apps and streaming services, which may disappoint users looking for a connected experience. The LCD display technology, while adequate, does not compete with OLED or QLED screens in terms of contrast and color reproduction. Furthermore, the Full HD resolution may seem insufficient for those wanting to enjoy 4K content, especially on a 32-inch screen. Finally, the limited number of HDMI (2) and USB (1) ports may restrict connectivity with multiple devices. Regarding writing scores, the product receives good ratings in design (85) and audio (80), highlighting its major strengths. The user experience is also satisfactory with a score of 78, thanks to an intuitive interface. However, improvements could be considered in terms of performance (70) and connectivity (65), where the scores reveal some limitations. Overall, the value for money is rated as good (75), but the lack of Smart TV features could be a drawback for some consumers.Score details
