TCL C735 4K TV review (EU market) - a well-rounded mid-range TV for movies and gaming
This is the review of TCL Europe’s C735 TV in 55-in screen size. The testing was done on the version with Google TV interface (Android TV 11) with software version V8-T615T03-LF1V462.000346.
Correction/additional info: HDMI port no.4 has eARC support, so it is according to HDMI 2.1 standard. Just note that since that port is limited to 4K60, if you connect your PS5/PC/XSX to the AVR and then AVR to the TV using HDMI port no.4 (to use ARC/eARC), you won’t get 4K120 signal. For that you need to connect PS5/PC/XSX to HDMI ports no.1 or no.2.

0.24 -> hello and welcome to the review of TCL
2.639 -> 55 c735 TB from the 2022 lineup this is
7.56 -> a mid-range 4K Ultra HD TV that replaces
10.98 -> the c72 series from 2021 namely the
15.12 -> excellent c728
17.9 -> c73 offers a similar list of features
20.939 -> but expands it mainly for gamers with
23.46 -> support for AMD freesync premium and
25.98 -> maximum refresh rate of 144 Hertz in
29.82 -> addition to that the new series is
32.04 -> available in a much wider range of
33.96 -> screen sizes from 43 up to 98 inches
38.64 -> let's see how well the 55-inch version
41.16 -> did in my test
43.14 -> [Music]
46.82 -> c73 is positioned above the C63 series
50.28 -> and below the c83 series
53.34 -> C63 is a 60hz qled TV designed for those
57.3 -> who mainly want to watch video content
59.76 -> and are not interested in advanced
61.98 -> gaming
63.239 -> c73 has a high refresh rate panel and
66.42 -> supports up to 144hz refresh rate via
69.72 -> HDMI ports which is something fans of
72.479 -> fast-paced content and gaming will
74.64 -> appreciate
75.979 -> c83 offers better picture quality mainly
79.619 -> higher contrast and better HDR thanks to
82.5 -> mini LED technology with local dimming
86.46 -> the design of c73 series varies
89.22 -> depending on the screen size the
91.56 -> smallest 43 and 50 inch models have two
94.56 -> feet 55 65 and 75 inches come with a
98.52 -> central stand made of plastic and the
101.04 -> biggest models with 85 and 98 inches
104.04 -> have 2 feet design but feet are placed
106.979 -> in the corners in total four different
109.68 -> stand designs for seven different screen
112.02 -> sizes
113.299 -> c73 has thin metal bezels surrounding
116.579 -> the screen and metal back cover
120.18 -> except for the stand which is completely
122.64 -> made of plastic without the metal inner
125.04 -> support I don't have any complaints on
127.619 -> the selection of materials and the
129.599 -> design
131.4 -> all physical connectors are side facing
134.16 -> and they include 4 hdmis two inversion
137.76 -> 2.1 and 2 inversion 2.0 B One USB 2.0
143.12 -> antenna and satellite inputs toslink
146.54 -> ethernet analog input via the supplied
149.879 -> adapter 3.5 millimeter headphone jack
153.18 -> and a common interface
156.959 -> the TV also has built-in Wi-Fi and
160.2 -> Bluetooth I've tested Bluetooth
161.819 -> connection with several devices and all
164.28 -> of them were working fine the connection
166.379 -> was stable without any delays or
168.72 -> interruptions
170.42 -> c73 series comes with two remote
172.98 -> controls and here we see a change
175.08 -> compared to the previous generations
176.9 -> along with the standard long and narrow
179.879 -> infrared remote without any smart
181.92 -> features such as built-in microphone TCL
184.98 -> is supplying a second remote with
187.019 -> updated layout and Design
189.66 -> this remote uses infrared and Bluetooth
192.3 -> connectivity has a built-in microphone
194.879 -> and buttons designed to maximize Google
197.28 -> TV platform such as the overlay button
200.7 -> there are plenty of dedicated buttons
202.739 -> for video on demand apps plus some
205.319 -> additional ones like media player and
207.54 -> safety guard
208.86 -> there are no custom buttons but I was
211.2 -> able to quickly access any app I wanted
213.48 -> either using home and quick buttons or
216.599 -> via voice commands
220.56 -> OK Google
223.68 -> tell me a joke
234.06 -> you get past
237.2 -> c73 comes with Android TV 11 with Google
240.36 -> TV interface I was positively surprised
243.599 -> at the initial setup you can choose if
246 -> you want the full experience with apps
248.099 -> Google assistant and recommendations or
251.34 -> if you just want basic functionality for
253.86 -> watching live TV and external inputs
257.04 -> you will still see apps in the home menu
259.26 -> but the menu will be much simpler than
261.72 -> the standard Google TV interface
264 -> great that somebody finally realized
266.28 -> that there is an audience who doesn't
268.199 -> need all those apps and options
271.199 -> on the other hand Google TV interface is
274.02 -> similar to that of Android TV 11 but
276.78 -> with more elegant home menu as well as
279.12 -> several overlay menus like quick panel
281.58 -> or settings
282.9 -> clearly the focus is on apps and content
285.66 -> available online the platform worked
288.3 -> fine during my test fast and almost
290.82 -> perfectly stable all the video on demand
293.28 -> apps played content without dropped
295.259 -> frames or other issues seen on older
298.08 -> Android TV platforms I'll be making a
301.199 -> separate video in which you will see how
303 -> it works in real time and which options
305.22 -> are available if you haven't already
307.139 -> subscribe to my channel so you don't
309.18 -> miss it
312.72 -> with the same panel and picture
314.52 -> processor as c728 it was no surprise
317.94 -> that c735 performs almost exactly the
321.24 -> same as its predecessor again we have a
323.94 -> vlcd panel direct LED backlight without
326.94 -> local dimming and quantum dot technology
329.58 -> to enhance colors
331.44 -> measure density contrast was similar as
334.44 -> well as the maximum brightness
336.96 -> since everything that I said in the
338.88 -> review of the c728 model applies here
341.58 -> you can watch that review for more
343.68 -> details the bottom line is that you are
346.62 -> getting overall a really good image
348.419 -> quality with good contrast sharpness and
351.24 -> color accuracy for all kinds of content
354.36 -> global dimming in dark scenes can be
356.639 -> disabled in the user menus and the only
359.1 -> variations in brightness I've noticed
361.259 -> were during Dolby Vision playback just
364.259 -> bear in mind that in this price category
366.6 -> HDR won't look as great as on more
369.479 -> expensive LCD models since you need true
372.479 -> local dimming and higher Peak brightness
374.759 -> for that
377.28 -> [Music]
385.31 -> [Music]
393.62 -> sound quality is exactly the same as on
396.72 -> c728 good for this price category but
400.08 -> nothing that really stands out as always
402.66 -> I recommend connecting the TV to the AV
405.06 -> receiver with at least stereo speakers
407.479 -> I've tested audio return Channel or Arc
411.18 -> functionality by connecting the TV to
413.4 -> the Denon
416.12 -> avc-s660h AVR with an HDMI cable
420.6 -> by doing so I was able to get
422.819 -> multi-channel Dolby Digital plus from
425.1 -> streaming services which is something
427.02 -> most of us will use in case you require
429.979 -> earc connectivity consider that in my
433.259 -> test I was only able to get 7.1 DTS HD
436.979 -> Master audio Dolby true HD signal for
440.52 -> some reason was not arriving to the AVR
443.039 -> and it would play Dolby Digital Plus at
445.68 -> best
448.08 -> except for 144hz Max refresh rate and
451.86 -> support for AMD freesync premium other
454.68 -> aspects of gaming were the same as on
456.919 -> c728 I've measured input lag of around
460.199 -> 18 milliseconds in game mode and managed
463.08 -> to get 2160p HDR vrr picture from the
466.8 -> PS5 console together at no risk of
470.039 -> burning and accurate colors in default
472.259 -> game mode I'm sure Gamers will be happy
474.84 -> with this TV
476.54 -> [Music]
492.599 -> okay time to wrap up this review TCL
495.84 -> knows the importance of gaming so the
498 -> new c735 is mainly updated with what
501.3 -> Gamers want and expect from TVs at the
504.479 -> moment mainly support for up to 144hz
508.199 -> refresh rate and variable refresh rate
510.78 -> support
512.279 -> in terms of picture processing and HDR
515.039 -> performance the results are good
517.14 -> considering the hardware capabilities of
519.18 -> this mid-range TV if you don't need
521.64 -> newly added gaming features and you are
523.86 -> looking for a TV for movies and TV shows
526.38 -> you should be happy with the more
528.3 -> affordable C63 series that is at the
531.18 -> moment of making this video around 150
534.12 -> Euros cheaper for a 55 inch version
537.72 -> you might still be able to find last
539.82 -> year's c728 which remains a very good TV
543.06 -> that offers better motion resolution
545.16 -> than the C63 series thanks to its 120
548.94 -> hertz panel
550.62 -> and this is it let me know what you
553.019 -> think about this TV and which one would
555.18 -> you pick in this price category I would
557.64 -> like to thank TCL Europe for providing
559.98 -> the unit for testing and to retail shop
562.56 -> Runners for sending me a Denon receiver
565.08 -> to check Arc connectivity
567.66 -> thanks for watching please like share
570.48 -> and subscribe to my channel for more
572.22 -> videos like this and I'll see you in the
575.16 -> next one have a great day
577.68 -> [Music]
