Editorial note

The TCL 50EP685 television stands out for its exceptional picture quality thanks to a 4K Ultra HD resolution (3840 x 2160 pixels), providing an immersive visual experience. Its versatile connectivity, with 3 HDMI ports and 2 USB ports, as well as the ARC (Audio Return Channel) feature, facilitates interconnection with various multimedia devices. Additionally, built-in audio decoders like Dolby Atmos and Dolby Digital ensure a high-quality sound experience. Compatibility with voice assistants such as Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa allows for intuitive control of the device, adding to its appeal. However, the lack of Smart TV features is a major drawback, limiting access to popular streaming apps, which could disappoint users looking for an integrated online entertainment experience. Furthermore, the audio power of only 20 W may not be sufficient for larger environments, and the native refresh rate of 60 Hz may not meet the expectations of video game or sports enthusiasts. The 4K resolution may also be underutilized if the content being viewed is not optimized for this quality. Regarding design, the TCL 50EP685 has a modern look in titanium color, and its VESA mount capability ensures a seamless integration into various interiors. However, its weight of 10.8 kg may make transport and installation less convenient, especially if one is alone. Overall, the product offers good value for money, with satisfactory visual performance and an attractive design. Nevertheless, the limitations in connectivity and audio power could deter some users in their choice.
