Since this isn’t an OLED panel, blacks don’t have great depth, but you won’t notice this much if you’re viewing content in HDR. Crisp details aside, the panel outputs bright, vibrant colours and good viewing angles, without glare and reflection getting in the way. I watched a bunch of full HD, 4K and HDR videos on the TV, and I have to say, the picture quality is surprisingly good. If you have a Fire TV Stick 4K ( review), you can watch HDR and 4K videos on Prime Video too. YouTube has quite a bit of HDR content as well. On Netflix, you’ll be able to access a range of HDR as well as 4K content, provided you have the premium plan which costs Rs 800 per month. In India, you can access HDR10 content on Netflix, YouTube and Prime Video. The display supports HDR10, which is the most common HDR format available. I had it enabled for the duration of my review and found it to be quite useful. The TV has a feature called ‘Micro dimming’, which dynamically changes the contrast based on what’s on the screen. That said, I did notice a bit of motion blur in some scenes where the camera pans quickly. The display features a refresh rate of 60Hz and a response time of 6.5ms, which is good enough for fast-paced action scenes. The TCL 55P65US features a 55-inch LED panel with 10-bit 4K resolution. You can use the latter to connect a soundbar or wireless headphones.

In terms of wireless connectivity, the TV is equipped with 2.4GHz Wi-Fi as well as Bluetooth. It’s worth mentioning that if you want to use an external device like the Fire TV Stick 4K to watch HDR and 4K content, you need to enable HDMI 2.0 in settings.

The TV features three HDMI ports (one is HDMI ARC), two USB 2.0 ports, S/PIDF, LAN, Antenna/Cable in, AV input and a 3.5mm headphone port. The power cable plugs in on the left, leaving the right uncluttered. This makes them easy to access even if the TV is wall mounted. TCL hasn’t skimped on the ports, which are conveniently recessed on the right side.
