TCL, a leading consumer electronics brand across the globe, has met all expectations with the launch of its new C-series Google TVs to the South African marketplace. The C-series delivers both excellent audio-visual performance and incredible entertainment value with its hero product 4K Mini LED C835 available in 65-inch, the C735 is available in 98-inch and 55-inch screen sizes and the C635 in 55-inch and 65-inch.
Not only was TCL the first to introduce Google TV to South Africa, but according to OMDIA’s Global TV Design and Features Tracker report, TCL has been named the number one bestselling Android Smart TV brand in the world. In addition, and, for the third consecutive year, TCL Electronics has been confirmed as the second-best-selling LCD television brand globally, according to OMDIA’s Global TV Sets report 2021.
All TCL Google TV ranges are competitively priced thanks in particular to the investment in its own panel manufacturing facility which allows for the full integration of the TV manufacturing process, offering the end-user remarkable value to high-end quality televisions. Being one of only two brands that produce their own TV panels, TCL panels have a high probability of being seen on other TV brands.
“TCL is proudly taking the lead in Mini LED display technology. The C-Series is an important addition to TCL’s continuous commitment to bringing exceptional viewing and entertainment experience to global users. We are proud to say that our 2022 TV additions will reinforce TCL’s leading position in the global consumer electronics industry,” said Mike Chen, General Manager at TCL.
The C-Series Google TVs bring a host of new technology and firsts to South Africa. The C835 is the very first MINI LED Google TV on the market in South Africa while the C735’s 98” screen is the largest Google TV in the range at a 120hz refresh rate. The entire C-Series of TVs will all feature Google TV and Google Voice Search.
TCL Mini LED 4K TV C835 raises the bar of powerful imagery by increasing the number of local dimming zones and offering stunning brightness performance, to achieve striking contrast, show captivating details as well as over one billion colours powered by QLED technology.
Gaming fans can expect more games that support 120 FPS this year, and the C835 has taken a step further by applying 144Hz VRR, providing faster responsiveness, sharper imagery, and smoother gameplay. Whether users are competitive gamers demanding high FPS games or casual gamers, the 144Hz VRR displays can be a huge benefit, giving users an important edge, especially in multiplayer games.
The C735 also applies 144Hz VRR, providing faster responsiveness, sharper imagery, and smoother gameplay. To provide users with a convenient game experience, C735 also has an exclusive game mode function. With Game Master, C735 optimises the display in video game use. It allows all-in-one optimisation, for example, to turn on functions such as VRR/ALLM with one key.
Elevating Quantum Dot Display Technology to a new level with industry-leading over 100% colour volume, the 4K QLED TV C635 is excellent value for those who want high-quality interactive home entertainment as part of a connected and smart lifestyle.
C635’s Wide Colour Gamut brings a visual feast of more than one billion colours, providing smoother natural colour performance. The ultra-vivid picture quality of C635 is enhanced with high-quality brightness, contrast, colour, detail, and dimensionality that brings entertainment content to life.
C635’s 120hz refresh rate optimises picture quality for 4K display by using dynamic tone mapping to reflect frame-to-frame or scene-to-scene variations in brightness, colour saturation, and contrast.
TCL Google TV’s are available at select Pick n Pay and independent retailers, and through Takealot.com and Makro online.
