Editorial note

The TCL 43EP661 is a television that offers an immersive visual experience thanks to its 4K Ultra HD resolution (3840 x 2160 pixels), ensuring sharp images and precise details. Its direct LED backlighting provides optimal brightness and vibrant colors, even in varying lighting conditions. Additionally, it features advanced audio capabilities like Dolby Atmos, allowing for an enriching sound experience. Its modern design in titanium color and the possibility of VESA mounting facilitate its integration into various interiors while optimizing space. However, the model has some limitations.

The brightness of 270 cd/m² could also pose a problem in very bright environments, making the display less visible. Finally, its weight of 7500 g may complicate its installation or transport. Regarding writing scores, the user experience is rated overall satisfactory with a score of 75, although the absence of Smart TV is a drawback. Performance is rated at 70, reflecting display quality but highlighting limitations for gaming. The design receives a score of 80 for its modern aesthetics, while the value for money is rated at 78, indicating that the television offers good value given its features. Finally, connectivity is appreciated, but the score of 65 for features highlights shortcomings in brightness and HDR support.
