Manuals of product 98C655

First page image of the manual for 98C655

The TCL 98C655 is an impressive television that stands out with its 98-inch screen, offering an immersive visual experience thanks to its 4K Ultra HD resolution of 3840 x 2160 pixels and QLED technology. The visual performance is remarkable, with vibrant colors and rich contrasts, even in varying lighting conditions. Additionally, connectivity is satisfactory with four HDMI 2.1 ports, making it easy to connect multiple media devices. The audio system is also of high quality, integrating a subwoofer and advanced audio decoders such as Dolby Atmos and DTS:X for an immersive sound experience. However, this model has some drawbacks. The lack of Smart TV features limits access to streaming apps and other online services, which may disappoint some users. Furthermore, energy consumption is relatively high, rated G, which can lead to higher electricity bills and a negative environmental impact. The weight of the television, reaching 61 kg, also complicates its installation and transport, potentially requiring the help of several people. Despite these drawbacks, the value for money is acceptable given the advanced features. However, the lack of USB type 3.2 ports and the absence of USB recording functionality limit the product's versatility. The user experience is generally satisfactory, although the absence of certain modern connectivity options may restrict its use. The modern and sleek design of the TCL 98C655 is noteworthy, although its weight must be considered for installation. In summary, the TCL 98C655 is an excellent choice for those seeking a large screen size and exceptional image quality, but it may not be suitable for those who prioritize smart connectivity and versatility.
