Manual of product 55UA8696
Editorial note
The Thomson 55UA8696 television stands out with its 55-inch 4K Ultra HD screen, offering exceptional image quality with a resolution of 3840 x 2160 pixels. The CMI (Clear Motion Index) technology of 800 Hz ensures optimal image fluidity, making this model particularly suitable for action movies and sporting events. Its sleek black design and VESA mount compatibility facilitate its integration into various living spaces. However, certain limitations must be taken into account. The lack of Smart TV features restricts access to streaming applications and the Internet, which may disappoint modern users. Although the model includes a 2D-3D converter, its incompatibility with full 3D technology may also be a drawback for those seeking a total immersive experience. Additionally, while the built-in speakers offer acceptable sound quality, they may not satisfy audiophiles. In terms of value for money, the Thomson 55UA8696 presents good value, although its energy consumption, while rated A, may seem high compared to other recent models. Its weight of 22.2 kg (with stand) can complicate transport and installation, thus affecting maneuverability. Overall, the Thomson 55UA8696 is a solid choice for those seeking superior image quality, but it is advisable to consider its limitations in connectivity and compatibility before making a purchase.Score details
