Manuals of product 98C855

First page image of the manual for 98C855

The TCL 98C855 is a television that stands out for its large 98-inch size, offering an immersive viewing experience, ideal for movies, gaming, and sports. The Mini LED backlighting technology and 4K Ultra HD resolution ensure exceptional picture quality, with vibrant colors and sharp contrasts, even in varying lighting conditions. Additionally, compatibility with voice assistants such as Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant makes controlling the television easier, making daily use more convenient. However, the TCL 98C855 has some drawbacks. It is not compatible with the Samsung Bixby and Apple Siri voice assistants, limiting integration options for some users. The lack of support for HDR may also reduce picture quality when streaming high-definition content. Furthermore, its high weight of 67 kg can make installation difficult, potentially requiring the help of several people. Finally, its energy efficiency class F for SDR mode and G for HDR mode indicates relatively high energy consumption, which may lead to higher electricity bills. In terms of performance, the built-in audio system, with multiple speakers and a subwoofer, provides an enriching sound experience. The integrated 4K upscaler also enhances picture quality for non-native 4K content, thus offering a quality visual experience. However, the absence of Smart TV features limits access to certain applications and streaming services, which can be a drawback for users looking for an all-in-one solution. Overall, the TCL 98C855 is an excellent choice for those seeking a large screen size and impressive picture quality, but it is important to consider its limitations in terms of compatibility and energy efficiency before making a purchase.
