TCL has officially launched the TCL C755, a QD-Mini LED 4K TV that is set to break barriers as an “Ultra Game Master.”

Coming in a three-sided frameless design, the TCL C755 will be available in four variants up to 98 inches large.

Here’s a quick overview of its specs:

  • Color gamut: 96% DCI-P3
  • Resolution: 4K UHD 3840 x 2160

  • Support for DTS-HD+DTS Virtual: X
  • IMAX Enhanced display
  • Connectivity: Bluetooth 5.2, Wi-Fi6, HDMI 2.1, HDMI CEC

The TV presents vivid visuals with lifelike colors and an ultra-high contrast ratio, thanks to its screen that is divided into over 500 dimming zones.

These zones allow the TV to precisely correct and balance the backlight and image by calculating the brightness intensity for each zone based on signals, leading to images shown with more light and shadow details.

The display also leverages Quantum Dot technology and the AiPQ Processor 3.0 to deliver vibrant and lifelike images that come with excellent contrast.

Exceptional gaming

For gaming, the TCL C755 models use Game Master 2.0 for a smoother and more immersive display and audio experience.

The TVs support advanced features such as IMAX Enhanced display, Dolby Atmos, and DTS Virtual:X to help in achieving that.

They also utilize AMD FreeSync Premium Pro and HDMI 2.1*4 for higher resolutions and greater bandwidth.
